Title: People have got what they wished for
Post by: the vicar on August 16, 2019, 09:51:40 am
JM has gone, and now we have no proven goal scorer, they was all told to think what they wished for but people in the west stand still got on his back my brother in law was one of them but I did keep telling him, but he did keep saying we need rid.  Now he has gone the same people are moaning like hell about not having a striker. what next we now have no one to bang the ball in the net and not much sign of someone that can half reach his target. Looking at the Internet there is loads and loads of strikers out of work fighting for work, I was saying that people I know on Tuesday at grimsby and all they said was but would they come here for the money we can pay, but I said to them surely they would sooner come here sir our wages rather than sit earning nothing. I think it would be a good idea to sat to a cracking player out of work, come here for the money we pay, get himself in the shop window, come on a week to week contract and if someone came in for them they could go with our blessing, by then they might be settled

A week to week contract? You're not serious right? How is that long term any solution? We can be back to not having a recognised cf within a week

Christ, some of our supporters start panicking when one of our better players gets to 2 years left on their contract ... absolute melt-down if they could go in any of 52 weeks a year

Who actually wanted him gone?

I didn't want him to go, but did feel it was the right time to cash in (given his contract situation and personal wishes). But this feeling was based on the assumption we would have replacements lined up i.e. ready to sign on the dotted line not just identified.

I'm sure I am not alone.

We've been there before?

A Clearance Sale Disguised As a Soccer Team

Doncaster Rovers drew 0-0 at home with Watford Saturday in the Championship, the second tier of English professional soccer. Something – even a single point – is better than nothing for a last-place team like Doncaster. And when that something comes about with five of 11 starters who aren't actually your players, well, some would say it's an efficient use of resources.

Apologies for being optimistic but I believe we will start to score more goals with or without a new striker. Sadlier has proved that he's capable of scoring goals that Marquis probably wouldn't have been and will score more, along with others, as the team gels properly.

I saw enough during the second half of the Gillingham game to realise we are capable of being a very good side.
Title: Re: People have got what they wished for
Post by: the vicar on August 16, 2019, 11:35:16 am
I personally don't think Sadlier will get that many on his own as he will need a player along side him
Title: Re: People have got what they wished for

He's got 2 in 3 games already!

He should have another 10............. or 21 if you count the opposition as well.....

you're welcome  :scarf:

Yes but will he on a regular basis we will see I hope he does
Title: Re: People have got what they wished for
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 16, 2019, 11:48:51 am
Sadlier can score different types of goals from different positions. I wouldn't be surprised if his goals to attempt ratio is up there with that of a decent striker.

The good news is he will probably profit from being alongside a front man as he, along with any one of our 3 attacking midfielders, will attack the box.

Providing he stays fit, he should score 10 as a minimum.
Title: Re: People have got what they wished for
Post by: Bentley Bullet on August 16, 2019, 11:52:59 am
I look at it like this. Sadlier has scored two goals in three games during which the players are learning their roles and gelling as a team. As the team progresses together they will almost certainly become more effective, resulting in more goals.

And at any time too, so it could easily happen outside the transfer window so we wouldn't be able to get anyone else in to replace either.

Careful BB, that’s far too logical. :)

Before Marquis left, we were assured the money would be given to the manager to spend to find a suitable replacement. That hasn't happened, and i'm beginning to wonder what will happen with that money. I'm guessing it will now simply go to reduce the season's loss.
This effectively means we've lost Marquis with no chance of finding a suitable replacement. Hence the loans.

Post by: StocktonRover on August 16, 2019, 03:48:58 pm
You’re guessing.......

I’m guessing that when we find the right man and agree terms with him, the fee and wages will eat up most of the “Marquis money”

Who’s the best guesser?
Who’s just got an unhealthy grudge?

Someone was found out before and sacked. Just by planting that one person - and only that person - with some supposedly derogatory-to-Rovers lie that agitprops like redarmy82 just love to lap up and regurgitate to show how much in the know they are. That same lie was on a forum like this inside 24 hours. Goodbye employee.

Doubt it says in his contract he can’t tell people when he knows who we’re signing
