If its true and we are going to sign Okenabirhie,add to this Cole we have gone from no options to at least three.
Whats everyones opinion on how DM might set us up going forward?
Are we going to go 2 up front and if so at whose expense or is he going to keep 2 strikers on the bench?
Its going to be great to have such a good bench but intriguing as to how his tactics might or might not change,any thoughts?
-
Ennis no 10? Cole competing with no 9 slot? It’s a great headache lol 😂 😂😂
-
Maybe he will stick to one at first,until the new striker/strikers get upto speed with the other players and team,once he's happy with that,then he may use 2 up front when he thinks his tactics will benefit from it.Upto now,he has been pretty smart with tactics.Going on someones post the other day,that showed the squad and the cover in all positions,assuming we sign Fey,I think another CM,possibly on loan and then Im well happy with the squad for rest of the season.
-
It’s interesting how quickly things can change isn’t it? We go from being threadbare and praying that Ennis stays fit to suddenly having a possible embarrassment of attacking riches!! Come on you reds!! Top 6 and maybe even championship football next season?? You can dream can’t you ? ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️👍
-
Think he will stick with how it is otherwise he could of easily tried the option of both together late on in the game last night
-
Are we getting ahead of ourselves?
-
Maybe Alan, but if DM can gell a front 3 together who can rotate and be as comfortable coming in from wide areas as they are in the box then we'll have more bases covered and hopefully a better strike rate.
For example Sadlier is good at getting in the centre forwards position just as he did last night. Of course, it will take time to get them up to speed.
-
Just hope we keep SAds!! We’re definitely in the race! What a cracking season again!!! Got to love our club!! Come on you reds!!! ⚽️⚽️😀👍❤️Drfc

Worryingly, West Brom are in talks with Hull for Groziki. Wasn’t Sadlier at Hull’s cup game not very long ago?
Does 2+2 make 5?

He was watching Chelsea who he supports.

Hasn’t Maddison already gone to Charlton?

Away with the fairies yet again. Let's see if we do actually sign anybody.

You are really sad. If all our supporters were like you we wouldn’t have any.
Have you ever posted anything remotely positive about DRFC ?
-

No he wanted more than the 10k a week they were offering, the Peterborough chairman was on sky sports tonight and is pretty vocal about it ok twitter.

On the assumption that Okenabirhie is announced today, and that there is the scope to extend Cole’s deal, I’m much happier with these additions to the forward line than I would’ve been with, for example, Adam Idah on a six month loan.
We’ve brought in two players that have proved they can score goals at this level in the past. Both have seen their careers stall a bit for various reasons but these things can happen. They are at a good age and there’s no reason why they can’t get firing again and thrive when settled in the right set up.
If we can invoke an extension in the Cole deal should it work out, and assuming Okenabirhie has signed for a reasonable contract period, then finally this eases some of the pressure to be desperately seeking a new striker come the summer.
Early signs of a more forward thinking plan. Hopefully the Sadlier contract is next.

We've played a blinder getting a 15+ a season goalscorer in Okenabirhie for less than £100K.

I would agree potentially, him and Cole are good signings for the club with potential to kick on. Certainly (and no disrespect for their efforts) big improvement on Thomas/Bingham.
-
Though I may be guilty of wishful thinking ,the story about and profile of the young trialist Periera who starred in the U23 match last night sounds very encouraging .
We all know how difficult it will be to replace Copps ,no one more than DM no doubt .A talented young midfielder like Dion Pereira who is an attacking midfielder is promising of a new type of set up .
-
Also if we are also looking at humpryhs then he'll add a physical edge too. Looks potentially a good mix, and at good ages too.
-
To be honest Graing, I would be more excited by him signing than either of the 2 strikers. I was that impressed. It’s a tough one to judge, as it was a very young Villa side, but he showed some real class touches. And he last played back in September.......quite something to ponder on.
-

Having been very careful when writing about other potential signings, Hoden has put a feature on the DFP website saying that okenhabirie (so) will sign today..
I guess you have heard of Devante Cole.?
There’s someone away with the fairies isn’t there.?

It appears that he impressed a few onlookers, so maybe one to watch - although I would be guarded to sign anyone up on one performance.... Let's hope the club take a closer look and see what the lad is like in upcoming games and in training..

I've said before. It's our very own Russian bot, sent by the IRA to spread discord.

This aged well. See you next time we lose a game fella.
-

I agree Jon and a new attacking midfielder!
-
That Pereira has decent pedigree as well, got some PL minutes at Watford and actually started a few games in the MLS for a good side last season. Could be a shrewd pick-up.
-
With Blackburn and Newcastle scouts at the game last night, we need to get him signed quickly.
-
Well all that doom and gloom about no strikers. Now we are almost overloaded with them as i don’t see DM playing twin strikers. So it’s 3 into 1.
Just a bit of patience was needed as some of us have been banging on about for months on end.
I always knew DM will have had his targets for some time. Getting them over the line is always far more complicated than it seems and often is very time consuming.
Would probably expect 1 more in by tomorrow night, a midfielder maybe this Ramsey lad at Villa. Who knows, Probably only DM and GB they keep things very much under the table don’t they. Good on them for that.
Only last week DM said there had been no enquiry for Okenibhrie. Well he was just bowling us a googly to throw us all off the scent until it was a done deal.
Brilliant DM you got a clean bowled with that one.
Devante Cole not even a sniff on that one. Brilliant DM you got a stumping with that ball.
Now all we want is a hat trick. I am patient and if it comes at 22.59 tomorrow that’ll do nicely. If it doesn’t happen so be it. Not meant to be. I am very happy whatever.
Oh by the way bloody Rubbish Bramhall. ( sorry BST pinching your line. )
Blunt have you lost your cheque book and pen. Shambles. Sack the board.
Oh it’s gone ever so quiet over there. Shock horrors. :byebye:

You also spent a long time saying good players aren’t available for permanent moves in January, and we’ve got two of them... Can’t win em all!

No as on the other thread ( Okenaberhie ) i have just posted about that.
Very pleased to be proved wrong Nick.
DM has done brilliantly to get them both on permanent deals.
They still don’t fall off trees in January though.
Most of the branches are very bare.
-
I think you should leave it there before you are barking up the wrong tree which is knott very clever. I can't think of any more I am well and truely stumped.
-
Well done, deebee - take a bough!

Deebee is that in reply to me. You stumped me well and truly. :zzz:
You lost me with knott. Never mind the rest. Are you referring to my cricket analogy? Or the bare tree. Or both?
-
Won’t be pulling up any trees with these puns.. best leaf it to the professional comedians
-
Ah may be i am a bit slow. :facepalm: Alan Knott. Brilliant Deebee.

Oh dear IDM where is BB when you need him?
-
We definitely have formation options now as well as having multiple players for positions, with some of them being flexible during a game.
Playing two up front could easily work, but which two could form a killer partnership? Exciting times ahead. Even without the extra signing, DM has the players he needs, now it's up to him to really prove himself as a manager.
-
He doesn’t need to prove anything to me, BRR. Getting us to where we are without a striker is proof enough.

What I said wasn't at all a negative. Now he has more options he is able to show what he can do with them, how he man manages them, how he gets the best out of them in formations, whether he sticks more to what formations we've been using or he introduces changes, etc etc. It's a level of management he'd have experienced at West Brom, I'm not seeing problems :)

In all the excitement no one seems to have noticed this -

Rakish Bingham’s departure from Rovers has been confirmed by Darren Moore #drfc
-
I would have kept him as squad back up..
Although releasing him before the window ends does allow him to sign for another club, as a feee agent, after the window shuts..
-
We have Watters who appears to have much more about him as backup. No point having someone in the squad who's just a passenger, Moore was quite clear about the high standards he sets for us.
-
Yes i would hope to see more of Watters. Can’t have too many back ups though.?
