January

[scawsby steve]

 I hope we go for quality rather than quantity. IMO we need a good striker, and another solid midfielder.

Get this right, and we could greatly improve, as we have done following the last 2 January windows.

We need a striker and a proper number 10

We need a striker and a proper number 10

It's at both ends of the pitch where we need the most improvement.

A striker with a bit of pace and a safer more solid goalkeeper are a must if Rovers are to stop up.

If it is possible, ask Ajayi, Crew, Tutala and Olusanya to return to their parent clubs and bring in a more reliable keeper and another, better, striker (someone like Street).So four out and replaced by two better options.

Not a bad shout.

If we could get upgrades on these 4 we would be in a great position.

A striker who’s good in the air and a threat in the box, an attacking midfielder and ideally some pace out wide (like we’ve seen in the last two home games from opposition) for me!

[selby]

  Two in Faulkner and Flint should be in the house to start with, Grehan was toast today and shown up for lack of pace.

[Alan Southstand]

Absolute no-brainer priority is a No. 9.

Next up I’d have a much better attacking midfielder

After that, someone to actually compete with Mols (if Ajeyi goes back, we have no cover for him).

Keeper is definately under scrutiny and if we could get a better permanent one, allelujah.

[steve@dcfd]

Yes we need another striker and Olusanya can go back to Houston. Will we get one to improve us won’t be easy. Anther attacking midfield player.

Who was the guy sitting  next to Middleton and the subs yesterday ?

[Chris Black come back]

We need a #9 and someone to replace Ajayi. Beyond that we’ve got plenty, even if people don’t rate them.

Westbrooke, Crew and possibly Close could go and we bring in a proper lg1 quality midfielder. 

[Chris Black come back]

He’s clearly happy with Broadbent, Bailey and Clifton. Can’t see him laying out for wages of another senior midfielder, when we have about a thousand on the books and he likes his three.

  The hardest part is going to be getting other teams to want our flotsam, and we have quite a bit.

Thats a horrible way to describe Faulkner!! I think the lad has a future here

Close has had his month-long renaissance only to disappear when it’s evident he’s not good enough. Happens every year.

We need some pace in midfield if we’re bringing one in. That’s a slight issue there.

[Chris Black come back]

Who was the guy sitting  next to Middleton and the subs yesterday ?

Darren Robinson, midfielder from Derby County. Been training with us.

Darren Robinson, currently under contract at Derby

[ncRover]

Recently struggled for game time in the Irish league

Its weird how obsessed you are with Faulkner, Grehan is miles better than Faulkner.

That midfield lacks the quality we need at this level, lot of heart but a lack of quality.

That’s not what they are in there to do in this team though. They are in there to win duels and out work teams.

Maybe so but you still need more quality in there, there's only Bailey who has stepped up in midfield.

At this moment in time, Broadbent is the best midfielder

I thought Broadbent was great yesterday again.  Bailey probably had his worst game for us aswell, I think he's earnt plenty of banked credit.

On the subject of Hanlan, what's our record when he starts? It feels like the team is better with him playing even without him scoring?

I agree with you. Not what Grant prioritises though.

I've been a fan of Broadbent this season. However yesterday he was chasing shadows and found it difficult

[Donnybax]

I think we need a ball carrier in midfield, someone with some pace out wide and a striker.

Out of possession i thought he was caught in no man's land a few times.
