That's got to be down to DC hoping to pick up a bargain when players get desperate? But probably ends up us paying over the odds when we get desperate, I really thought Wael would give us some buying power, at least at Div 1 level. We have had a succession of Managers who didn't spend what they were given and DC is no different. It's easy to point the figure at past and present Boards but they have always tried to back their Manager, I recall a post over the weekend about the Higgs era and we shouldn't forget they could easily have got rid of DC when he took us down but they didnt't!!

The article clearly states DC is said to be looking to sign three players . Three players that have already been identified and will either join in January or if deals cant be done will sign in the summer hopefully. If the deals can not be done now then he has options on a few loan players joining again it appears they are players he has already decided will be ok to boost the team short term. He does want to make proper signings though all going well. So expect three new signings or a combination of signings and loans over the next few weeks.
We can all guess at positions that are needed.
when you look at premier league squads you notice a general pattern of 3 keepers 8-10 defenders 12-16 midfielders 4-6 attackers
rovers currently have along the lines of 3 keepers 7 defenders 10 midfielders 5 attackers
So maybe the squad could lose a striker [?] ,gain a couple of midfielders and gain a couple of defenders. Before looking at swapping players.

When did we get promoted to the premier league?
As far as identifying 3 players who may or may not join us now, that could just as easy read Dc wants to sign 3 players now but if he can't sign them he'll just make the excuse he'll sign them in the summer and we'll be non the wiser. We clearly need to add some quality now to the squad or this season will just drift away and gates will start dropping when fans realise we're only going to finish mid-table.

In all honesty not many of the players DC has brought in have delivered but we have not paid anything which may be a good thing based on the £50,000 which was so say paid for Blissett.

The fact we haven't paid anything might be a reason that not many have delivered, but I suppose it depends on what your interpretation of delivered is. If Matty T goes he would have made us a very tidy profit besides producing the goals that delivered us two promotions & the fantastic memories for many gasheads. I would say his team's have delivered plenty.

If Matty T goes he would have made us a very tidy profit besides producing the goals that delivered us two promotions & the fantastic memories for many gasheads. I would say his team's have delivered plenty. Yes, not many have delivered. Apart from maybe Leadbitter, James Clarke, Sinclair, Lines, Monkhouse, Bodin, Montaño, Easter, Taylor, Mansell and Gaffney. They were only significant contributors to at least one promotion each, and that's before we give credit to the likes of Puddy, Gosling, Dawson, Balanta, Della Verde and Blissett, who each made meaningful contributions to our conference promotion. Many more of DC's signings have succeeded than failed, and of this year's loan signings, it is arguable that half have performed pretty well (Colkett, Boateng, Clarke-Salter), whilst of the others, Roos started well before inexplicably losing confidence. Of the permanent signings, the jury is still out on Moore, whilst Hartley has on the whole been a positive. But yes, let's not trust DC with any money, as he has hardly performed miracles without any so far, has he?

The fact is it doesn't look very likely that he is going to get much in the way of funds to get players now. Most of DC's signings success is short term in number of good games and how much is down to the players not being good enough and how much is down to DC failing to give them a run of games we will never know. Quite a few have come with good pedigree and yet failed to get a regular place. Only Lockyer, Lee Brown, Sinclair and Taylor can really go down as regulars this season but our reasonable position is really down to Taylor and the rest of the squad playing some good games on an irregular basis due to the "rotation"! system. Lee Brown and Lockyer have both failed to reach last seasons standards.

The lack of respect for and the seemingful amnesia about DC's achievements is mind-blowing! I could understand if the achievements were only in the past but we're 10th in league 1, for Christ's sake! Steve makes it out as if we're only there through luck, and that none of that incredible achievement is seemingly down to DC!

Funny how people can say the players DC has brought in haven't really delivered.
Almost every player in one way or another has helped contribute to two successive promotions.
It just goes to show that nothing will ever be good enough for some people.
Only the other day Steve you were telling us that DC is unable to improve players.
Talk about taking your credibility and then p*ssing all over it.

The majority of the players DC brought in guided us to back to back promotions and mid table in League 1? How have not many delivered? Edit: RD got there first.

So back to back promotion and 4 points off play off in Div 1 equates to short term success.....wtf are you on about........and more to the point, what does DC need to do to satisfy you, win the premiership??!!

We were never going to go and get loads of signings in this window. DC says he has a few targets if the price is right. DC has earnt the right to be trusted on this and just because we haven't signed anyone yet is not a reason to worry. Teams like Bury and Shrewsbury are signing a few because they need to, they're not 10th in the league. We can't be complacent and think we're OK but I hope we don't panic and buy for the sake of buying. A keeper, and with Hartleys injury, a CH and possibly a midfielder to cover if Lines gets injured. I'd rather DC was concentrating on training and preparing to beat Northampton than spending hours on the phone trying to get someone. We are told that DC has his targets and that they're championship standard so I for one trust him and if it takes the whole window to negotiate it correctly so be it. UTG!

Lee Brown and Lockyer have both failed to reach last seasons standards. Steve, I love your match reports and look forward to them if I'm not there. I can guess the frustration of those who went to Shrewsbury and Charlton but you seem to be a tad critical of our owners for not giving as many funds as possible to DC. Come on Steve, you must have heard their comments in the Spring and Summer when they said it was about evolution not revolution and they would not be throwing money at us but would support DC when he wanted something. They have been absolutely true to their word. Trying to sort out the ground issue, they have now established the basis for a permanent training centre and base for BRFC, wiped off our debts and spruced up the Mem. Still lots of stuff to do but they have kept to their word imo. They seem to see it as a long term project which is great. No five year plans or shouting about the PL in five years time just common sense. When you consider how Crawley, Morecambe, Bury and Chesterfield have had new owners over the past two years yet in all cases it soon turned sour. What a change our owners are, fantastic. There have been and will continue to be frustrations along the way but they have been true to what they have always said and I am grateful that we have them and not others running our club. Mid-table League 1? I would have bitten my arm off two years ago for that. Let's concentrate on the next match and support the team. I am looking forward to actually being at the Mem tomorrow to see them and as always look forward to your match report. Happy New Year to all us gas! UTG!
