Well he’d better score goals for you because that’s what we’ve sent him out for, to see if he can do that at a good level. We don’t really know how good the Irish league is but I wouldn’t imagine most of it is even up to L2 standard so this will be a good test for the lad. We haven’t seen much of him at Bolton so far but we’re hoping he’ll do really well with Donny and then come back and fit into our first team squad. What we have seen we like so I’m hoping to pop along to see him during his time here.

He'll be back up in case of injury to the two first choice strikers. I'll be surprised if he makes half a dozen starts.

The stats for Marquis were nothing special before he joined us. Lets hope for the best.

Maybe not, but it is unusual for opposition fans to applaud the names of one of your team’s players when they are announced and when we played Gillingham - where he’d been on loan, they always did! His work ethic was outstanding (just like May’s) and most others who are team assets and such players are valuable, especially at Rovers at the moment where we have very few.

If he can stay fit, battle for the ball, cross a few good balls into the box for Faal and Ironside I don't give a damn if he never scores a goal for us, he will improve on what is happening at the moment.

I imagine he’s being brought in to bring intensity to the press and hopefully run in to channels / in behind to offer the midfielders a different option to Ironside. Faal is a good player but he doesn’t do either of those things.

I think he will play a fair bit if he’s good. But unless we get a creative midfielder in he’s not going to score much regardless.

Are we prepared to give anyone a chance before they kick a ball, or even signed for that matter!!??

DBR it’s not the Donny way……unfortunately

Am I reading a different thread here? One poster called his stats grim and another concerned about injury, hardly as though he’s been taken for a flogging before we’ve even signed him!

[Alan Southstand]

There’s work ethic and then there’s the Biggins kind of work ethic. Runs all over the place, except for the right place and has never heard of a tackle - maybe he thinks it’s a term that belongs to fishermen (or women)!

Please, GM, can we get some midfielders!

Actually, the stats for Marquis's loans at Gillingham and Northampton were quite good.

Here is what is annoying about this forum. It has been pretty unanimous on here what this team needs in the next window. A lack of game time and experience in the league is not that. By no means saying this lad will be a flop but, you just can not call people out for pointing out the obvious. Its not negativity, its realistic. If you are offended by that then that is your problem. I am sure everybody will give the lad a chance. They would be foolish not to.

[Sammy Chung was King]

We need to add some experienced players to the young lads coming in. Experienced goalkeeper, centre back and midfielder would be helpful.

the phrase  "more loans than wonga" will always haunt someone on here

Just a general observation in my opinion - we had people slagging off our signings at the start of the season because they were from lower league teams and therefore not good enough

They still aren’t good enough

Bailey and Senior definitely good enough.
Broadbent not a great start but I think he'll come good next season.

[Colemans Left Hook]

Bolton with gates of a mere 21,000 have been rebuilt on terra firma  they are bankers for automatic promotion and have a squad to match (so long as players don't get sent off)- plus a nice run of easy matches to look forward to.

I wouldn't be surprised if Faal got an upgrade to them (previously I suggested Peterbru). That would explain the loan and my bank manageress would be in favour of the move

It would be funny if he turned out a quarter as good as this one below( who played against Chelsea when 14  -- yes despite Ireland being in the euro they still count to a base ten at the moment)

[Chris Black come back]

Broadbent was signed from Premier League Sheffield United, where he had been since 2017. They were the only club he had signed permanently for in his career. We did not sign Broadbent from a lower league club.
