I believe it was Moore that changed his mind on those deals
Don't Rovers always play an attacking style rather than a balanced style and other clubs know it? An attacking style makes it a more exciting game to watch but clubs know how to hit us on the break because we commit too many players. I don't think DM has any plan B so clubs know what to expect. He is not astute in using subs at the right time either, but that's only my opinion. The clubs that get promoted often win by scores of just 1-0 rather than going for a goal fest in every game. I think the slide down league one will just continue with the next two games.
I can’t believe folks are still harping on about the lack of signing a number 9 in summer..Do we want any player, or the player DM wants.?And before anyone retorts, yes I would have rather we signed a decent striker and not had to rely on pickings from free agents. Then again, how different would things have been had Sterling and Ennis not been injured.?We move on, if we accept what’s been said in the last day or so, we can expect incoming players and soon.As for tomorrow, as unpopular as it may be with many fans, I can see Thomas starting ahead of Ennis simply because the young lad needs recovery time IMHO. Sheaf and James in for me also.This is a game where we need to be strong and battle for every second ball. A fighting low score draw would be a decent result, even a 0-0, and a win an improbable bonus.I’m not usually of a defensive mindset but my first aim for tomorrow would be keeping a clean sheet.

just an observationOxford walloped Rovers 3-0 and have kept on upward Gillingham also walloped Rovers 3-0 and have been in good form for a long while now so with hindsight those results look "slightly" less bad.if Rovers had drawn both Christmas matches there would be an air of confidence about the club. Even if they drew all 3 matches "there would still be an air of confidence" . So wednesday can be thought as a "freebie" with 3 points in the bag ? ???with the wall of signings coming

A draw tomorrow and that’s 4 A win yes it’s possible it really is would give us 6 I always knew my maths wasn’t that bad.

The team we played on Boxing Day conceded 7 goals in two games and didn’t score. Oxford area different team altogether.
