It's good to see that the thread developed into a good discussion. For some reason there is a tendency to knock negative leaning posts when we are doing ok, and positive posts when we have a wobble.

From what I have seen so far the team will take a while to find their feet in the higher division. When we are up against the teams who finished top ten in league one last season we are bound to be up against better established players when you consider Bolton were Championship last season and we were league two we never looked out of our depth but what is evident you are more likely to be punished for your mistakes I think we will be okay top half I reckon

What about promising young players from premiership clubs? The 'teds seem to have done pretty well with the Chelsea lad, Dan Crowley is a very decent player at Oxford from Arsenal. Youngsters aside, Gills and Southend have managed to attract high profile players, why cant we? Walsall apparently signed a player for £300k....yes Walsall! Apart from a debt which we dont know where its gone, Wael has showed nothing in my eyes that he is taking this club any more forward than Higgs. I'd have expected to see some tangible evidence by now of his wealth but not a sausage. Yet gills lost 5-0 and Southend couldn't beat us, so maybe it's not always better brining in high profile players?

Maybe not, but one thing i'm quite sure of already is that we need better (creative) players.

The guy at Crystal Palace, Sullay Kaikai would be a good start if they are loaning him out again.

Easter, Monty, Bodin, Moore & Lawrence have had little game time this season. You sense if Conti offered us Fabregas after Tuesday game DC still would start him at Swindon? Perhaps containing teams rather than out playing them is the sensible approach, whilst the players find their feet in Div 1.

Perhaps containing teams rather than out playing them is the sensible approach, whilst the players find their feet in Div 1. But we arent 'containing' teams, no clean sheet in 4 games meaning we need to score at least 2 to win. I think playing to our own strengths rather than trying to contain the opposition is the right approach, then if we still aren't getting the results new players will be needed, although with the loan system as it is now it may be too late by then.

Obviously conceding every game means we need to bolster midfield and perhaps a utility defender? Meanwhile at the pointy end we need someone to teach our forwards about composure

Meanwhile at the pointy end we need someone to teach our forwards about composure With a better midfield our defenders will be less worked and our forwards will have more time and space I agree,with a better midfield Rovers could have had a point (at least ) at Scunthorpe,and from what I read a point against Bolton and Southend were there for the taking..thats a possible 4 points . I thought that DC seemed p1ssed off in the interview when asked about new signings, he has said for months he wants to sign 'quality players' ( hopefully a central midfield ) why isnt it happening ? we know the owner backs DC a 110% because he said so,its a bit strange.

I'd really like to see Boateng here though.

We're not getting totally outplayed though, Scunthorpe was a close game with their third goal only coming late on, we beat Oxford, got caught with a breakaway goal and a free kick by Bolton and seemed a bit unfortunate to not win yesterday.

To be honest even if we were top and won every game id be wanting us to strengthen. You dont get that many league games anymore where one team outplays the other, leagues these days tend to be fairly unpredictable (as my Betfair account will prove, unfortunately..) We do seem to be slow burners and that obviously hasn't been a bad thing for the last 2 seasons, but when I watch games like I did yesterday its frustrating that we cant finish teams off and most of the time its due to lack of quality which you do need the higher you go.
