Good luck Trev, unlucky not to get more of a run, but injury, ill discipline and upsetting JB for a bit meant you never got a real go at the Gas He is one of the few Rovers players who will actually look to run at defenders and take them on rather than slow the play down by stopping and going backwards or sideways. Always looked lively when called upon. But couldn't positionally defend for toffee, good luck though on his move homešā½ļø

One of JB's few failings as he never really looked good enough to hold down the LB/LWB position and it was a surprise when he was was offered a contract extension.

Good luck Trev! Now on to operation "Westbrooke" Can we convince the Crawley crypto boys heād be a marquee signing? Just donāt see where he goes. Pay him up and let him start again. Very similar to the Kyle Bennet situation. 7/8 months left of his contract and I'm just guessing here, on round the Ā£3000 a week mark? If he can find a club in league 2 that will pay that which I very doubt. So will probably still be here end of January at this rate.

Best we can hope is one will pay Ā£1,000 a week but not sure what side will take him off our hands. It's OK him just sitting in stands and pocketing upwards of Ā£3,000 a week but surely he needs to get on with his career before he's a forgotten man. He's hardly earned enough to retire like KB.

Plymouth have signed Matete then, that's some squad even after losing Whittaker. I think Wembley has got further away since the start of the window

I think Wembley has got further away since the start of the window Fear Plymouth will really go for a double now this season with promotion and Wembley. However strong their squad was we should have won the last time they were at the Mem so fingers crossed the JB factor will get under their skin again and we can sneak a win Tuesday

Westbrook had something sorted before the last window closed. The club cocked it up, possibly being greedy and wanting the deal weighted too much in their favour.

What's happened to Egan?
I thought he was meant to have been excellent for Hereford when playing National League North on loan as a youth, but apart from a month on loan in August to Gloucester City he seems to have disappeared?
Any news on any other young players?
I believe Jones was playing very well on loan and looks better than National League South. Perhaps he may get brought back as left back cover until we may another signing, or maybe a loan to the top National League?

Itās hard for any player to slot straight in and boss a game, as weāve seen with our signings. I think we have an even chance of progressing. We look pretty potent going forwards these days.

We signed 4 or 5 defenders in the summers so it's a bit disappointing we have not found the consistency at the back. Need to get it right this window.
I personally think we need to look at who will be replacing Coutts and Whelan in midfield.

I personally think we need to look at who will be replacing Coutts and Whelan in midfield. Injuries haven't helped, pretty certain every defender apart from youngsters Hoole & Gordon has spent a month plus on the side lines. Rossiter is Coutts obvious replacement so we need back him for him. Getting Westbrooke off the wage bill is probably the biggest challenge for JB.

Bit of a personal question, but here goes. Couple of sloppy ones in the wake of the new year celebrations followed by a bit of a blockage and a couple of difficult births but pretty regular since then to be honest.

I am sure Elliot will look back on his time with BRFC with fondness, tbh imo, while I would love to see Elliot once again wearing the quarters, he is so good, why would Howe not keep him in his premiership match day squad ? I agree with you, nothing wrong with a bit of day dreaming though, and my daily medicine makes me do a lot of that! I follow the Geordie forum and the thread about Elliott and seems he is champ bound. With newcastle having a bottomless pit of money I'm sure EH will be considering plenty of options and 'names'. Billy will come good somewhere, would like to see him banging them in for Newcastle, time will tell.Ā Ā Have to say the thread about Elliot on Newcastle Online shows so much class from their fans, they were loving his success last season and wishing our club the best with plenty of compliments and no looking down noses as Manu fans and such would tend to do.Ā Ā Ā Ā The success of the Anderson loan will put us in a good position for other highly talented youngsters from above and Anderson showed if you are good enough, you are old enough. Charlie Webster is a lad that has caught my eye a bit recently, someone of that ilk would be nice, but I'm sure Joey, Eddie and the scouting department have a few names in mind and could be a case of hoping the 'stars align' so to speak.
