Announcement at 5.30?

[Drover]

Is there one at 5.30? I'm not knowledgeable with twitter,but there is something about, maybe we should stop teasing and announce at 5.30.Not seen anything about previous as per teasing.

Certainly looks like it, certain strawberry blonde winger by any chance

[Drover]

Think you might be right Jamesrover fingers crossed.

[RoversAlias]

It's going to be Sims.

[elmsallrover]

Tissues at hand...

[Jersey Rover]

Sims it is official now

[ChrisBx]

Sims confirmed.

[wf9rover]

Where did my Sims signs thread go from last night?

[Katesby]

Outrageous signing really given the level of interest in him from the league above 

[Filo]

The question now is, is he fit?

[jamesrover17]

Fit by mid February according to Hoden

[jm291]

Wow! Now that's a hell of a coup pulling that one off! Well done Gavin, Darren & the board.

[Janso]

The question now is, is he fit?

I think he is. 

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Welcome back Josh. Get fit soon, hopefully we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Great to hear he wanted to come back to the Rovers!

[Jersey Rover]

DM and The Club have done an amazing job this window when you consider the year we’ve all had. Hats off to them for providing us all with a squad that has an amazing opportunity to progress this season.

If we can get another striker in it can't be denied that we've had a good window. Even selling whiteman we on paper have a good replacement.

[RugbyRover]

fantastic news!!! Nobody stopping us now!!! 

[BobG]

Somebody really is putting serious money into this club this year,

Well done them. I am full of admiration for their commitment, their generosity, and their perspicacity.

Amazing coup! Would asking for 2 strikers be greedy?

[jmt23]

Josh was very happy with his time here, and wanted to come back, despite other interest...now that speaks volumes about the club and players. Well done all, and not forgetting that as the above, this will not be cheap.

Fit by mid February according to Hoden

His current fitness may well have been a factor in him not going elsewhere, so this has perhaps worked in our favour.

Yes we love signing players we can’t use . I’d love it if one day a player we  signed went straight into the first team .

With three league wins on the bounce it would not have been certain that he would have walked straight back into the first team, but it would have been nice to have him on the bench.   2/3 weeks is oK for me and I would rather have him on that basis than not at all

Ffs there’s no pleasing some people

[EasyforDennis]

We will have the best midfield in the division by a mile.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well I think Simoes has shown good signs. Each game he has been getting better and last night was probably his best game yet. Definitely becoming more involved and making better decisions with and without the ball. Long may that continue while Josh remains out.

Can't help look forward to those lightning runs of Sims being found with pin point raking passes from Bostock tearing defences apart.

Likewise on the other flank, if Lokilo continues his improvement, then Taylor could be at risk of losing his place.

Guess we'll just have to contain our excitement for that prospect a little while longer but could come at a good time.

You are an old curmudgeon aren’t you, if we were unbeaten after 45 games and lost the last I bet that’s all you would bleat on about

Possibly because DM has proven he usually spends it wisely,and gets the best out of them, much less of a gamble than with say DF,Just my opinion,Also seems to have alot of trust and respect in the game and therefore got some great pulling power.I was thinking last night,none of the squad are moaners,dwell on misfortune,they just get on with the job,and have a great attitude to playing for him.

[Drover]

Fantstic news to have Josh back,I can see him being important as the games keep coming thick and fast,with us currently have 2/3 games on others around us.Couldbe  a much needed boost come Mid February to March with squad rotation etc
