What are people's thoughts on the likelihood of reinforcements arriving this week and what positions need strengthening? I'd like to see a right back signed!

To replace Clarke? Or just as cover?

Isn't two sufficient given we only have one left back? Personnally I'd like us to sign a pacy winger who hugs the touch line, plus we may need another CM if LL & SS are out for any length of time, as Mansell is apparantley struggling with his groin.

I'd like to see a right back signed! very hard to tell as depends a lot on how serious the current injuries / illnesses really are. And of course there may not even be any budget or any decent players out there. Btw - if we had any money / space can't see the point of using for a position where James Clarke is fine. Or leads. & Lockyer if really needed.

I'm not impressed with clarke or leads at right back and feel a dedicated right back who is very solid would be a benefit to us. We have players who can do a job there but that's all they do. I'd like a little more.

I'd like to see a right back signed! if we are to take any on loan then surely it needs to be a midfield player. We have Sinclair and Lawrence on the injury list and DC commented that Mansell completed the game on Saturday despite the fact that " his groin was hanging off". Ollie Clarke has done well when he came on and fortunately Linesy has stepped up but it doesn't alter the fact that one more midfield injury could knacker our season.

I don't think we need to sign anyone at this moment in time. The squad Clarke has built up is coping well even allowing for the couple of injuries. That is what a squad is for and that is why Darrel Clarke utilises it so well.

I'd like a little more. I dont mind Clarke and Leadbitter when they play with wing backs,but if its 4 at the back I agree that I would like a (better) right back. Midfield is looking a bit threadbare especially if Mansell is now injured,he is a very important player for Rovers and I think if the right loan was available DC would get them in.

I'd like a little more. Clarke is dedicated right back. It's just that managers often use him as right sided central defender or the right side of a 3. Some people would actually suggest he's too solid as a right back. I think he's the sort of RB you'd see 20 yrs ago - solid, simple, doesn't bomb forward. Not sure what more you want really?

Neither Clarke or Leadbetter have let us down this season.

Got our tickets for Carlisle to-day.We'll be a few players short due to international call ups so another loan might be wise.Bristol to Carlisle 275 miles but from Stafford 162 which is only 45 more for us than going to the Mem. Few of us going to Brunton Park.Wonder what our results will be between now and Easter Monday?Excited muchly.

"I'd go for a striker, winger (left or right) and a creative cm. If they were all at least 1st div standard we'd be in with a good chance of at least the play offs."

And since then, we got a striker in, lines has come into form and so has montano. Maybe he's changed his mind?

Thank you Lulworth. That is exactly my view. Anyway i dont think I'll bother starting a thread again as all you receive in return is sly digs!

Right back is probably the last position I'd look at strengthening, personally.
Wouldn't be against seeing a CM or winger come in, but don't think we're desperate for any additions.
