We already have lots of experienced players,i was hoping we would stick with the policy of signing younger players. Davies and kilgour were outstanding and menayese looked good except when playing at full back. Get some young attack minded players in the door i say. When were Davies and Kilgore outstanding as a centre back pairing? From memory our defence was only outstanding when Craig was playing in a back 5. The simple fact is our back 4 wasn't good enough last season, it's looking promising if we are after these 2 CB's, as it looks like BG is clearly trying to address last season's problems. |

Regarding Bennett I wonder if we r going down the Stefan Payne route and paying off his remaining year on his contract We can only do that if we get another club to contribute, it's pointless otherwise. |

Bakayoko the other one? I've not lost any sleep over him.. His goal scoring record is dreadful. He's just been released by Coventry, god knows what our recruitment team were thinking about that summer! |

Don't know anything about these 2 players but they do offer lots of experience and are a good age. I really liked the look of Ehmer's defence partner, Ogilvy - he stood out for me at The Mem last season.
Just wondering if Davies might leave - only hunch. Davies is good but he's not as comfortable with the ball at his feet as say Alfie.

For me they were outstanding alongside craig in a back 3 under coughlan,,from memory we were 3rd or 4th in the league. Davies got injured and garner made a terrible mess of everything to do with team after that. Under coughlan both centre-backs knew their role and were outstanding. Did you forget the 1st half of last season completely? Under garner nobody had a clue what they were supposed to do and looked terrible |

If BG favours 4 defenders over 5 then signing another CB or two makes sense. Although I assume BG is another manager you are just happy to continue slate like you did with GC. |

He's signed a 1 year contract extension with them last week I missed that, surprised they offered him a new one as I doubt he's up to Championship football, unless they hope to sell him in the summer to try and recoup some of the transfer fee. |

Didn't we have a centre back called Baldwin a few years ago? Pat Baldwin . Worked in the factory in Corrie ? 😉 |

I read somewhere (probably on here) that Swindon are happy to pay £1k. cant we loan him out again and take the cash of swindon ? |

I'm sorry if someone had already mentioned this, but Max Elmer's Wikipedia page already shows the Gas as his current club.
I rated him when we played Gillingham back in September.

True, but you'd think they'd amend Jack Baldwin's at the same time. Either way, Ehmer looked good against us, so would be a decent signing IMHO. Getting excited already seeing the calibre of player that we're being linked with. |

Anyone think Kilgour is able to play further up the field for us ?

So Wednesday is the day if we believe the Post - Grant, Emler & Baldwin all set to sign.

If you're savvy enough, you can look at some of the other edits that the person who changed Ehmer to Rovers has also done. Not many, but some strange ones 😂 They seem to have a dislike for a Fillet-o-Fish being called Fish, and Regan has anger issues - apparently - in somewhere called Chiusa di San Michele. Make of that what you will |

All my posts about coughlan agreed that he was effective but i disliked the football---- with garner i will buy into his attempt at bringing young players in etc but the team until the sunderland match were a total clueless shambles. Nobody needs to slate garner because his record as a manager does the job very well on its own. My view is that if coughlan played kilgore-davies in a back four they would have been well drilled and just fine. Thing is under coughlan they would have known exactly what was required. I would like garner to have more time but only by sticking to the young player theory. For ehmer/baldwin i just think highly paid with no sell on value which has been our downfall since season no 3 in league one imo. |

Looks like the answer to your question is nothing, they clearly thought about nothing  |

I'm still struggling to reconcile the good form with 'Poor Football' myself. Sitting close to the playoffs and taking home points has always amounted to good football for me. I think the Coughlan era (does that count for an era, or maybe a period?) presaged this whole strange year we're having. Rovers were going up the table, fans were exiting the stadium and then coronavirus hit. Unprecedented indeed |
