O believe two of our left backs are out of contract at the end of the season - they may be loaned out early in the new year I can see a fourth striker coming in during January, otherwise not a whole lot of changes.

I keep hearing "best squad we've had in years" etc, but at least 10 or 11 of them aren't good enough and need to be binned off ASAP. The likes of: Little, Upson, JML, JVS, Alexis, Barrett, Hare, Leahy, Davies, Kelly and Ogogo.

Don’t agree with Davies

Injury prone defender with limited ability.

I actually think Tom Davies could play a role in the “Tisdale turnaround” as a defender he has consistency, experience and aerial ability, things we lack from Harries, Baldwin and Kilgour IMO. If he can overcome his injury and get fit again, he’ll be like a new signing.

I would take Davies over any of this lot at the moment.

If he can overcome his injury and get fit again, he’ll be like a new signing. I agree. He doesn't fit the specifications of a BG type defender, but as an actual defender, he is very good at this level. People say we miss the no nonsense leadership of Tony Craig to help the other out. If Davies can get fit again soon, I feel he can also play that role. The only problem is he has to get fit soon. I assume he only signed a two year deal so if he doesn't get at least a few months of games towards the end of the season he will probably be off next summer.

One nasty injury which he is recovering from, he’s proved that he can be a more than capable defender at this level in his first season at Rovers under Coughlan, we really missed him when he got injured. Would much rather have him starting for us than either Baldwin or Kilgour.

Only ONCE over the past SEVEN seasons has he managed to start 30 or more games and that was during the 15/16 season in the division below. He isn't available until January now anyway and hopefully during that time we will be able to strengthen the defence with someone better and more reliable.

Thought he had tendonitis that sounds more like a long term problem than a nasty injury, whether he can return to his pre op form only time will tell.

Does anyone know what our named squad submitted to the EFL is, has it ever been published, we have 34 pro's on the books so I imagine some haven't made the list and therefore cannot play at least until January

Yes would seem the obvious step cannot go forward with more left backs (four I think) than strikers surely?

I wouldnt be surprised to see one or more of our loanees go back in Jan, not because they aren't decent players but more due to them all being midfielders and an area we have lots of options in. Easier to cut a loan short than move on a player under contract.

The likes of: Little, Upson, JML, JVS, Alexis, Barrett, Hare, Leahy, Davies, Kelly and Ogogo. Agree on all bar Hare and JML .... I think you have been generous on a few as well ... I would add Upson and Rodman for sure

Out of interest, regarding our loanees at the moment (JML, McCormick and Ozzy) does anyone know if we have an option to sign at the end of the season as I think I saw that all three are out of contract in the summer. Next question, who if any would you take if we could? Too early to say I reckon

Don’t agree about Hare I think we’ve got a league 1 standard full back / wing back who will continue to improve.
