Is Moore injured? No doubt Sinclair will put in a motm performance and prove the doubters wrong.
I'd rather have Ellis up top by himself than Gaffney

Notice they already had a NIMBY from Horfield on Radio Bristol this morning, complaining about this in advance. good it's a shocking idea for our future potential anyway. Will go no further than where are already. Realistically the best we ever are likely to get is to consolidate in the Championship and punch above our weight. Just look at the crazy money being spent now, think what it will be like in a few years. The Al-Qadis don't have the financial clout to compete with other clubs at that level. Redeveloped Mem with 18k capacity seems about right to me unless we get some crazy billionaire taking an interest who's willing to throw cash at us. How we're going to be able to afford to redevelope the Mem is anyone's guess...

He said he was excited about the names on DC 'S transfer target list, no disrespect to our signings who all look decent, but RB will have to ask him what happened to the list, did it go in his washing machine? Or are the marquee signings being coveted by the Chimp! To be unveiled in Neverland! Did expect some X factor signings after his comments. So all our new signings are 'decent' but your not happy?! Who did you honestly expect us to sign?

Where was he supposed to be other than where he was? Sinclair was all over the attacker and did the right thing in pushing him out wide right. JCS was covering the left/center. Just looked like a good finish from the striker to me. Yeah, istm he should have been pretty much where he was, but just 6 yards closer to goal. But if he had been, he still wouldn't have stopped the goal. There was no other Gills player in sight. The only possible goal threat was the striker and he stood there and watched Sinclair battle for a one on one when he could of doubled up on him and stopped the shot. Would be a different argument if there was another player coming into the box but that to me looks like either laziness, or him being young and naive and getting caught ball watching.

That's my point, at the same age as Nichols, Matty Taylor had never even played at league level. Before signing for Rovers, the most Taylor had scored at Conference level in a season was 10. I remember the stick Taylor got when he first signed, he's nowhere near good enough, why are we signing Forest Green cast offs? We'll never get out The Conference if we're signing players like this. Taylor wasn't great in the air, wasnt a brute, and didn't have blistering pace either. He improved immensely and within 2 years he was the most prolific striker we've had in 20 odd years. With this in mind, Nichols could also improve and get 20+ a season at this level. I can't see it myself with Nichols, but hope you're right and I'm wrong. Genuine question; how many times have you actually seen Nichols play?? Or are you basing your opinion from stats you've found online?

What ? are you sure you mean this ? I think Gaffney and Bodin will get double figures, add to that Ollie C and Sercombe probably chipping in with half a dozen each. Then there's Nichols - this lad is going to score and provide assists - a conservative estimate I'd say 10 - 15. We create a lot through - Leads, Brown, Lines and now Sercombe - so a lot to be excited about. My main hope apart from Sweeney at the back is someone on the left - this Wheeler from Exeter could be the one ?? Wheeler is a RIGHT winger. And he's unable to play off the left?

Didn't work out here as well as we all hoped, but good luck to him at Norwich.

Ellis or Bodin for me.
I'm a fan of Ellis' no nonsense thump down the middle technique.
Problem with giving BB the role is it's only going to bring more interest in him as his goal tally will improve. Tough player to replace if/when we lose him

That's what they think Posh paid Exeter for him last year, not what we've had to pay. If we've paid a similar amount then it's a good investment imo. I know, I was responding to Gaz's question. I meant I couldn't see that we paid more than £250k for him meaning I can't see that Posh would've made a profit. Apologies, misread your post.

Here's my opinion, fwiw. I wish the lad well, I really do, but he is brought in as cover. DC has certain undroppable players, and Lee Brown is one of them. Lee Brown is also rarely injured, so chances for the new lad will be sparse. I fully expect Marc Bola to be recalled in January, having hardly kicked a ball for us. I may be wrong - but just my opinion. This lad looks like he's going to be much more suited to the wing back position than Brown is. I think they'll be changed up depending on formation

Do people actually think whining like a spoilt kid is gonna miraculously speed up the transfer activity?! It's the function of a forum to allow people to express their view. If DC had not promised so many signing then people would not have expected so much. Did he also promise you a time scale of when they would sign? Just have a bit of patience ffs

It's good to see Rovers helping with the Development of another Premiership clubs young players. Why have your own youth set up when you can just borrow one for the season from one of the big boys who are threatening the future of lower league football? Because arsenals youth players happen to be a hell of a lot better than ours?
