So, which CH gets dropped. I hope it's not Kilgour And now (counting anyone out on loan as well) We have 12 defenders; 12 midfielders and 3 strikers Baldwin will drop to the bench without a doubt.

Williams must be the most popular surname to play for the gas surely ? A quick look through Wikipedia shows 13 Joneses and now 13 Williamses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bristol_Rovers_F.C._playersWith 12 Smiths and 11 Taylors Would be interesting to look in terms of the total appearances. Might look into that if I have time. Only 10 Taylors. The 11th one has been erased from history.

David "Geraint" Williams used his middle name as we already had David Williams in the squad but liked to be known at George!
Good midfielder who went on to have a good career at Ipswich.

Personally I never thought right back was a priority, and never understood playing Max there. We desperately need a fourth strikers at the club and should normally always have two on the field and two on the bench.

A defender who’s played 30 games in the last 4 seasons. Jesus, underwhelmed. Stockley anyone? Frigging joke. 🤡

Think we have most seasons, off you include loan signings.

In fairness James we should be ok up front once th injured return pal. however it’s th defence that needs strengthening, if we get any more leaky at th back we’ll need a Corgi registered coach ffs!

Ehmer played there because Hare was so poor, the moved worked for a few games until team sussed out that was our weak flank to attack.

Strikers tend to hang on to the last day before agreeing moves, given we've signed Day and Williams, who I doubt were cheap signings, I'm hopeful a striker will follow them.

Frigging joke. 142 games is abit out from 30 games 😗 Apologies, total side-track vent coming up in this post that has nothing to do with our new signing..but this is just a small example of what can contribute to this whole culture of misinformation and the spread thereof in today's world of smart phones and social media. It's one thing making an error which is completely understandable, as I'm guessing oldgas misread the previous post about Williams's number of appearances in the last few seasons. Fine in itself of course, as we can all make mistakes, but then they go onto take that misread information and form an inaccurate biased view based on something they've misunderstood and express anger about something that's not true. In this world of social media and information at everyone's finger tips, these sort of honest mistakes seem to snowball into full blown rage rants full of inaccuracies, and even conspiracy theories. Anyway, this is something that's generally been getting my goat lately so sorry for the tangent guys! Back on topic, I am by no means excited by the signing, but I do think it's a sensible one, and I'm hopeful that this arrival will be a good step towards us becoming more solid at the back.

I still have nightmares about that away day at Shrewsbury! Was that when he walked around the pitch for a bit and DC pulled him off by the ear? Before sending him back to wherever he came from? Yep. The one where he barely moved. To be fair the whole team was shocking that day. Shame really as he'd looked OK before that game.

Like I said in an earlier post, MK Dons fans seem gutted that he has left but even if they were saying “he’s crap” I have learned after seeing Shrewbury fans saying Luke Mccormack was the same and he has turned out to be one of our best players this season but seeing positive posts from MK Dons fans hopefully means he will be a good solid signing.

Unless PT is just trying to confuse our next opponents, it seems that might not be the case: "Is he someone you feel can go straight into the team if you need him to?' Yeah, absolutely. Whether he will or not is a different matter because I thought we played really well on Tuesday, but in time, yes." Was PT watching a different game than the rest of us on Tuesday's evening?
