Feel like Wood has been robbed of a nomination here. You don't keep 4 clean sheets on the spin by accident. Suppose that 3-1 defeat at Walsall at the start of March has worked against him.

I too have voted for him.  How would he would see it if after his exploits these last few games the club didn't nominate him and if having been nominated the fans don't support him with enough votes?  We're all very much hoping he chooses the Rovers as his home for next season.  To a hard nosed business minded person - I don't know if he is that - I don't imagine it would make a hap'orth of difference but since he's been nominated the only positive thing we can do is give him our support.

Throw what ever we can at him. Not many of our team I would say are what I would say capable of holding their own in the league above but he is certainly one when utilised correctly.

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again.
Please Rovers, don’t let this one slip through your hands for the sake of wages.
He has been a big part of this miraculous turnaround.
Scored another and set up one today.
Some have said it’s no big deal if he moves on. Players that fit with a team like he has and produce the goods don’t come around too often for teams like Rovers. When was the last truly game changing loan player rovers had?
He has to stay. And rovers should push the boat out for him.

Herbie Kane perhaps.

The last one was Ben Whiteman, his departure started the worst three years our club has had in 30 years.

Haks was unplayable today, they couldn't get close to him, it was like men against boys when he had the ball. His confidence, swagger and skill sets the tone.

Of the three excellent loanees I think we have the best chance of getting him and I hope we're pulling out all the stops as he'd leave a huge hole! They've made such a difference and the rest of the team has really stepped up with them.

We must do everything we can to try and keep this lad, he’s a free agent this summer so there won’t be a fee to pay, then if we did land him and he progresses even further and weights in with a decent amount of goals then bigger clubs will be circling! And then Terry and the board will have to make a decision as to sell him or not ! This summer will be the real acid test of Terrys real desire to progress us !

There as a rumour from people in the South Stand today that the club has offered a deal to Hacks.

Yet again, it doesn’t matter if we offer him the moon on a stick, if he is advised to go elsewhere..

If we can’t sign him, it does NOT show a lack of ambition.  We need to be trying to sign him, and/or players of similar ability.

Love Haks and really hope we sign him up but trust Grant to find a more than suitable replacement in the summer if it’s not possible. Really hoping we can get Timothee in on another loan/ permanent deal

Really hope to be wrong obviously but he’s surely done too well hasn’t he?

If we don’t go up, would be surprised to see one of the promoted sides go for him.
Title: Re: Adelakun
Post by: dknward2 on April 13, 2024, 10:18:01 pm
If we go up got a feeling he will stay, players want to be in a positive team with a manager like McCann who just wants the best out of each player
Title: Re: Adelakun
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on April 13, 2024, 10:27:48 pm
Hope he stays. We have to make him an offer that’s for sure.

I do trust McCann on replacing him given his record with wide players. Yes it’s on the player having ability but the way we are going at teams any forward will get a chance to show it.

But how often do rovers find a player like him? The departure of whiteman is an example in case. Rovers fail to secure him and it’s back to the drawing board.

Yes, but the point is, him signing is always going to be (somewhat) out of our hands.  If we don’t, I expect it won’t be for lack of trying.!

We shall see. If rovers do everything they can, and it doesn’t work out, then so be it.

He's been brilliant. Wilks when he was on it was also unplayable.

We need to table a great offer and hope that - together with the love he's getting - it is enough.

The three loanees have been transformational on every level.
