Both look good signings on paper... hope we can still make 1 more quality addition up front and bring in 1 to provide some cover at the back

why are some knocking this lad before he has kicked a ball for us ,  its pathetic.


I'd never heard of keiron Brady, Dylan Kerr and Danny Williamson but they were immense back in the day.
And we had an even shitter budget back then.
Nudga I have to agree. Kerr was a superb player & Williamson & Brady too. Though the latter had such a brief stay with Rovers,sadly.

I have to say I knew of kieran Brady before he arrived with us. 90 minutes magazine (remember that?) had done a profile on him a coupla years previous regarding him being the next big thing. I also recall him coming off of the bench for Sunderland in the latter stages of their run to the 1992 FA cup final (not sure what game possibly against Chelsea in 5th or 6th round) and going close to scoring a blinder! I was really excited when we managed to get him on loan

He was one of the finest players to have pulled on a rovers shirt in my opinion.

My first ever Rovers game was his debut. I only came to see Mike Jeffrey play but Kieron Brady was star of show. Looking back I see that Brady only ever played four games for us - scored three times though including winner away at SKitsons.

Rovers legend for that alone imo.

Of the loans we have had from big clubs very few have become a decent player for Rovers, the only massive exception being Matt Mills. The problem with loanees from big clubs is the demand they must get game time despite their inadequacies, Worley was an embarrassment every time he appeared on the field, but he constantly came on as a sub, whether we wanted him or not. I presume this will be the case with the current crop, it could well break up winning positions, or deny a chance to fight back. We cannot go on taking cast offs who are looking to put themselves in a shop window to go to a "bigger" club. Johnstone was a prime example of this.

I hope that Taylor makes the most of his last chance, but beware, alcoholics have a track record of letting people down, it is a difficult drug to beat, we are taking risks with every signing we have made, not necessarily strengthening a squad.

True, a second exception. We ended up paying a LOT of money to get both permanently though. That will never happen again.

Sharp was a big let down the last time he was here though.
