Blackburn new striker pending

 

[holdsteady]

That’s a fair point. Would you still send him on loan if we don’t get another striker in?

Yeah, as I said elsewhere he has hardly played with only Harris here, once Goodwin is fit he won’t even make the bench. Bodin is more effective as a forward as well than he is.

I like how that, with both Dale and Matete, fans of both teams have said good things about how much they rate both players and are sad they weren't given more of a chance. That is to our obvious benefit. Really looking forward to the next few weeks now. Top work from everyone.

One more incoming would be unbelievable....

Sunderland fans saying he's not very good?

I think some people are underestimating Des as a coach, as well as a manager. Harris has improved since Des arrived.Maybe O'Donkor will too.

Waiting for the forward that wasn't Marriott.......... obviously.

He is. Believe the hype.

Marriott signing for us - brilliant player who will score loads of goals.
Marriott signing for Wrexham - he's getting on a bit and hasn't scored many for a couple of seasons.

Any player leaving, or signing for someone else, will nearly always get negative reviews. The exception was Greg Leigh.

Where are you seeing that?

Compare and contrast this January transfer window with last January's. Absolutely smashed it out of the park! Well done Des, Waldron and the rest of the board. Praise where praise is due, fantastic work - a solid 9 out of 10.

Sunderland fans being bitter? Surely not?

This was my first thought when we signed Jay Matete too

My Plymouth mate sent this:
Good signing that mate!! He was a powerhouse last year for us!!!
Although he loves a yellow card!!

Has anyone seen ITK Kip? Last I heard was that Owen Dale wasn’t a done deal…

We have had one centre forward all season and O Donkor has barely played, I can’t see how adding a centre forward will do anything but reduce those minutes to next to nothing. Bodin is back soon and is more likely to play up front than O Donkor when he is fit.

More goals maybe? Goals that win games maybe? Ah yes and Bodin is another ‘back soon’ injury. I’d rather have as many bases covered especially if we have the budget than have end of season regret by not filling in key positions. O’Donkor is conference level at best as it is and two of our strikers are currently injured. As it stands we are going into Saturday with one fit striker outside of GOD and that’s it.

Very symmetrical face

QI demonstrated that doesn't always work when they made all the panel's faces symmetrical and it wasn't good. Alan Davies Went from a rodent face using one side of his face to looking like a Neanderthal with the other. Sandi Toskvig just looked like a hamster whichever side was picked.

Wasn’t your original point though was it? You were saying that O Donkor was going to have to play and I was pointing out that’s unlikely.

Been saying for months we need a defensive minded midfielder!! Now we have one!!

Let Matete sit in, Cam and one of RR/MM can then go forward and do their best work in the final third, and with two of Tyler, Dale, Burey, Murphy/Edwards/Browne wide and Harris and Goodwin fighting for the lone striker role that already looks a more positive outlook! Good work Des and EW!!

Ah Yellow cards perfect replacement for Gorrin then
