Forrester would be a great signing I wanted us to sign him last summer, but he ended up at Wimbledon. Just wondering would you have been satisfied with 3 goals and 5 assists for us this season like his record at Wimbledon? Or would it depend on his overall performance in games?
It's just I know that a lot of people on here would judge players being a success on their stats especially attacking players.

You can't go on stats alone. Kante, when at Leicester and now Chelsea is a great player. He hardly scores, and has virtually no assists, but his value is in letting more attack minded players get forward to do their stuff.

I'm not one of those that will rely just on stats, however Kante isn't in the team for goals and assists. But Forrester is one of those 'attack-minded players'.

But Forrester is one of those 'attack-minded players'. and that is just it, we don't know the full story. Last season, did Forrester have good defensive midfielder(s) that allowed him to get forward enough, or did he spend a lot of time tracking back? You can't just go on stats can you!

I agree with Nobby, you can't go on stats alone. Forrester is a player that has always impressed me and I think he is a player that DC would be able to get the best out of.

I would love it to be 2 left backs - Harry Toffolo and Reece James 2 wide players - Gavin Whyte and Harry Forrester 2 strikers - Sergio Buenacasa and Sory Kaba 1 right back - Matthias Bader And centre back Dorian Dervite. What a team we would have then...a potentially promotion winning one IMHO. (I'm not expecting any of them to sign btw) We'll be top by November !

A statement of intent from the owners 🤫 Don't hold your breath, I've been waiting 2 years for that. To be fair they’ve done everything they said they’d do. It’s all moving along nicely all be it slowly but the impression I got from Wael from day 1 was that it was going to be that way. If we had done a Man City it wouldn’t feel like Rovers anymore and in league 1 it can be disastrous throwing money about bringing in loads of big name players / managers. I like the way they’ve gone about their business,they’ve improved everything but not flashy just small improvements here and there and we’ve still got our identity and our great manager. I’m happy with that considering it’s only been 2 years and they spent the first year sorting out the shambles from before. Going back to DCs targets they’ve always said they’d support him in the transfer market and he gives me the impression he’s happy with what he’s been given. He’s still here , that speaks volumes. Words are just words I tend to go on what I see.

Words are just words I tend to go on what I see. you're happy that in 2 whole years we've progressed this far? Are you being serious? We've admittedly progressed from where we were but at this rate I'll be dead and buried before I see plans for stadium regeneration! The progression is pitifully slow. God forbid we have a serious setback and are demoted because we'll probably then have a 10 year plan to achieve promotion!

Would you be happy if the UWE was nearing completion, but that it was going to be run for the uni's benefit and not ours?
That would be a real comfort wouldn't it? Watching struggling league 1 football and relegation in a swish new stadium whilst making nothing from it and having the life-blood sucked out of the club. No money for players and DC leaving because of a lack of funding would have me dancing a merry jig of delight.
I'd rather have the Mem as it is with a couple of extra tents and the club keeping all the money generated, thank you. At least the owners seem to be willing to support DC, and I have real optimism for a successful next season. We are still masters of our own destiny. If the UWE deal wasn't right then so be it. A pig wearing lipstick is still a pig. A shithead in a 3 piece suit is still a Shithead, more commonly known as the defendant.

Make up any scenario you like and no I don't want us to falter but I hope for more than we're currently getting. I know I shouldn't because I'm gas and should just be grateful to have a team to support - is that right?! Oh well, I'll shut up and hope for a play off challenge in 2020!!!
