They are in the Prem now and might be willing to let him go on a permanent. Chris Spittles on twitter said he is coming on loan. Nice one GGMI. I'm not on Twitter so can you ask him if he has heard any whispers about Cole or other targets. |

Amongst all this stuff about a new signing and the meltdown that will occur if we don’t have one what about an alternative view? I may well be old-fashioned, out of the loop of modern football although I do see the pantomime of the PL at Bournemouth but for much of Rovers history if they sold their best players they often promoted players out of their reserves to replace, short term at least. Accepting that we don’t have a reserve team as such now the development squad must be the equivalent. Surely they must have strikers who could be given the chance to shine and as they are U23s we’re not talking about players straight out of school so they should be physically ready.
Perhaps I’m being naive but I would have thought looking for a replacement there would have been one of the options. Perhaps they have considered that and decided no. I don’t know but for a club like ours I would hope it had been considered.
UTG!

The coaches would know. Having seen them in pre season a couple of times there is nobody ready yet in my opinion. |

So we have a development side that won loads of things last season but not one is capable of doing a one game job for the first team ? I rate Tom Nichols very highly but if he is badly out of form or the new guy from scotland is still carrying a injury and can't play a full 90 mins, who do we have in reserve ? Bennett is not a striker, more a No 10 so nobody in the development side is capable in holding the ball up ? |

Kavanagh is injured, Ebbutt isn't ready, Allen was just released by City's U23s and I'm not sure if the trialist lad is still with us. The development squad top scorer last season was was Telford by a long way. There isn't anyone capable of stepping up YET, although that isn't to say they won't be ready in the future. |

Apparently Healey has double figures for goals this pre-season.

During the chuck a cup game last season, we played a big un up front and he looked good. Is he still with us or did the sh**ty poach him as they showed some interest ?? Sorry don't know his name, Maybe German ? |

Doesn’t mean there isn’t anyone in the whole development squad capable of stepping up for one game, it just means there might not be any strikers. Luke Russe played a game last year and did well, as did Michael Kelly. Don’t forget Dom Telford scored a lot of goals for the development side last year and was probably the best striker. |

There's no strikers, they were all released, Telford etc, apart from one who's out with a long term injury. I don't know why DC's didn't try Broadbent upfront in the second half v Exeter as surely he can't be any worse than Nichols upfront on his own tomorrow. perhaps a striker has signed and DC doesn't want to let Posh know until the last second if not it's going to be a long afternoon tomorrow unless Posh are also struggling after signing so many new players. |

I would have expected to see them have a chance in pre-season and didn’t see any. Perhaps a year too early. i thought you’d probably know!😉 UTG! |

Apparently, any new signings need to be registered by 12 o'clock, in order to be eligible to play tomorrow. Let's hope that this has been done

It is one match which we would find hard to get anything from whatever. I've accepted the later it goes into the week, the less likely they are to start even if we were to sign someone. The main thing is we get the RIGHT PLAYER in before Thursday's deadline. |

If Adam Virgo could do the job for us up front, then why not Broadbent? Oh wait, hang on...... 😣 |
