Absolutely huge transfer window needed to keep us up.

Then an inquiry as to why the summer recruitment was so horrifically bad, to make sure dont repeat it next summer.

We have needed the last 2 Jan transfer windows to sort our seasons out. Im hoping this one is the same but Im not confident.

We need:
2 x L1/champ CBs
1x L1/champ CM
1 x L1 striker (semi prolific) or lower but very prolific.

This wont happen.

We also need another L1 winger as Gibson is not cutting it.

I agree with your last comment we have too much work to do to rectify a dreadful summer.

I personally think Middleton is a great winger but has no one to supply. If we get the right man in upfront we will be fine with Moly, Gibson and Middleton.

When one-on-one with a full back, I'm struggling to think of any Rovers player I've seen since Ian Miller who I would bet on to get to the line and put a good cross in more often than Middleton.

Wooton would have scored a dozen goals from Middleton's crosses by now.

Absolutely this. We either choose not to play him, or play him when we know there will be nobody anywhere near his crosses. Think Gotts benefitted a couple of times in a previous game?. Makes we wonder, if we knew his strengths before signing him, why are we not utilising them. I'd say 8 times out of 10 his crosses are bang on the money. John Buckley was a great winger, crossers 0not the best though.

As Pie says "the people employed as professionals to identify the talent needed should reasonably be expected to know with a reasonable degree of certainty who is and isn't suitable", and we are trusting the same people to do the January signings!!??  God help us. There will be plenty to say in May if things don't improve and all last year's hard work will have been undone.

I found it very interesting what the Stockport game commentator had to say about Rovers. Doncaster have a lot of talent in the squad but for some reason they are not joined up. Assuming he is right, I don't know if that is the manager's fault or the players are not listening.

Thought their commentators were very good and surprisingly more than fair to us.

[LincsRover]

Very true - they said they were surprised at how good we were for the position we are in. According to them the penalty was “as soft as they come” and when we equalised at 2-2 they also said they could only see one team going on  to win….just before they scored their third.
