Of course you don't see...1. If we did actually consider them.2. If they turned us down.3. If they're affordable with the budget to us compared to others.It's not really that simple is it? There's lots of players we could suggest/recommend, it's not as simple as data says they're decent so we should go for them is it?
Iwish it were so easy to select your employees by statistical analysis. There's a lot to be said for gut feeling, aka intuition.

Intuition can play a great part in the selection of players. Take Dave Bassett, who saw something in Brian Deane that made him take a gamble on him. Also, Michael Duff whose intuitive mind saw something in Alfie May.They are just two examples of instinctive signings by managers who possess a talent for picking such undiscovered talent out.It's not only managers who possess the gift, though. Some fans even have the ability, although, admittedly not many of us!

Admittedly i can't claim the credit for signing them but i was sure they were destined for better things when they first played for us:-Brian Deane, Tony Woodcock and Rufus Brevit .

We are currently ranked 19th in League Two.

He currently has 7 & on Saturday (7th of January!) he has an opportunity to add to that 7.So getting Rovers current position one place lower than it actually is shouldn’t surprise anyone Chris Black.Plus, how do we know McGrath hasn’t been offered terms with other clubs? We don’t and absolutely GazLaz doesn’t!Rovers will have been a huge pull for the lad given he’s a Donny boy & his dad played for the club.Someone needs to learn to read between the lines & stop looking at graphs, xg’s & stats to use as his guide to all signings.

To finish in the top 10, we'll probably need something like 40 points from the last 21 games.SayP21 W12 D4 L5I'm usually an optimist, but that's not going to happen is it?
