So quickly reading through here and social media then am I correct that these are the current players we're being linked to Joe Day Curtis Tilt Blair Turgott Sean Scanall Lloyd Isgrove Connor Washington Leon Clarke Josh Magennis I would take most of them to be fair. Who is Turgott ? don't know his position or even who he plays for ? does anyone rate him ?

Remember you’re talking about Chris Lines, Stuart Sinclair, Danny Leadbitter and James Clarke. All integral parts in a team that achieved back to back promotions. Tells me that DC did have a clue actually. Cannot fault his early transfers but you have to agree since League 1 promotion they have been very poor Some poor signings for sure, but I'll give you Sercombe, Craig, Holmes-Dennis, Upson, Rodman, Bonham for balance. Had he got the right striker in, rather than Payne, he'd probably still be here. Don't forget he had much less to spend than the value of player that he had to lose and therefore it was inevitable, or at least, very likely, that the standard wouldn't have been as good. So far, Coughlan's recruitment can be judged on just two players. One a roaring success, the other pretty good. Hardly a representative sample yet though.

Agree with all of this post, although I must admit that GC's signings do seem to be of higher calibre than DC's in L1. Although tbf, on paper Payne was a good signing - 15 goals the season before with a team in the L1 play off final

I like the way we are talking about DC vs GC - however we now have a head of recruitment ( appointed under the previous manager ), is this part of what has made recent signing look better ? I guess the Coventry connection is his not GCs ?

I’m pretty sure one of the strikers offered a deal is Washington. However the person who told me this also told me Lockyer may have changed his mind and may be staying... so that makes it about 100% less credible Somebody said that to me today. Personally I think he will go to Portsmouth

We’re the new feeder club for Pompey it seems.
I’d take Tom back but the pettiness in me says bugger off, you made your choice 😂

For me I’d definitely have JCH over Harrison. Not sure about Brown or THD though. THD definitely has the potential to play at a higher level but Brown is more consistent and injury free.

THD over Brown is an easy decision for me. JCH V Ellis is a tougher one mainly because JCH has had one purple patch but that's been the entirety of his time with us. So based off of what we've seen just at rovers then I'd go both of our current options.

I’m surprised with doidge going to hibs and no league one side taking a chance on him... good that Smith has found a team that will give him regular football...he’s not league one yet but has potential if he sorts his erratic decision making out and claiming the ball a lot more in the box

Jch is more effective even being off the boil sometimes in a game as Ellis would fall on the floor a lot and hold play wasn’t as good

So quickly reading through here and social media then am I correct that these are the current players we're being linked to Joe Day Curtis Tilt Blair Turgott Sean Scanall Lloyd Isgrove Connor Washington Leon Clarke Josh Magennis The current propensity to prefix every sentence with 'So' has reached the Gaschat Forum!!!!!

Jch is more effective even being off the boil sometimes in a game as Ellis would fall on the floor a lot and hold play wasn’t as good Admittedly I'm only going by Wikipedia but according to the stats on there, he had never scored double figures in a season before joining us and so 11 goals in 4 months would definitely suggest a purple patch. However I'm willing to concede that I could be wrong and that things have clicked for him here and he'll continue the goal scoring antics next season. AFC Wimbledon away was the warning of what an off the boil JCH looks like. It was not good viewing. This has ended up coming off more negative than I meant it to.

Jeez that is tough. THD over Brown easy. JCH is also easy based on what we saw but his only real form was last season. I think my end of August we will know the answer and I think both will be the current players tbh - I hope so anyway Would you rather Taylor or JCH?
