It’s a 5/10 January transfer window so far, when we needed it to be a 9 or a 10. Absolutely ridiculous to be going into the final day of it without a manager. Hopefully we are going to shore up the defence in the next 24 hours with 2-3 elite players. I wasn’t over impressed with Gillesphey last week. Please do not sign any more midfielders….. Still think we definitely need an attacking midfielder m8 and at least one wingback, obviously depending on what the new manager wants to play. Two many midfielders of the same ilk imo, apart from Louie Watson we have nothing different, Fraser could be off and the Man City player Forino and I realise he isn’t fit but he looks absolutely pants. |

Think we are still after a number 10 when the real problem lies in us having to score 3 goals a game to get a result….🤔🤔 Let’s have a count up Fraser Dobson Mcgrandles Taylor Camara Anderson Fiorini Coventry Campbell Bakinson Watson We could field a defensive shield formation of 1-10-0…. Nothings going to get through that lot😂😂 Nah think we deffo need a few more midfielders through the door 😂😂😂 |

Assuming Fraser is staying as we haven't heard anything on him. I'd say the urgency is wingbacks. I don't think we will get the manager sorted today, but happy to be proven wrong.
Surely we can sign a player without a manager. Unless they have had a falling out with one of the candidates or something and don't want to end up at a club where they won't get the opporunity. Seems a very unlikely scenario though.

Seems a very unlikely scenario though. Personally i would say not having a manager would impact any player looking to move, especially on a permanent. If they are expected to potentially uplift their lives and move to another city they would want to know who they would be working for. Less likely issues with loans i would say, but we all know what loans Scott brought in before while left unsupervised <cough tedic, cough abankwah> Think we are stuck between a rock and hard place at the moment. We know we need players, we know we need a manager, but we don't want another Appleton, so rushing that decision could be disastrous long term. Wingbacks, or at least proper defensive full backs, which allow maybe a loan winger and Campbell to stay further would be great start |

Wingbacks, or at least proper defensive full backs, which allow maybe a loan winger and Campbell to stay further would be great start Getting a quality manager/head coach is just so important as we have made a complete bodge ver far too many years since Curbs left the building. I thought the director of football would pre determine style/formation of the team which would result in an ongoing consistency. However that is far from clear at present resulting in a ‘freeze’ in the recruitment process until a new gaffer is appointed. The situation is dysfunctional and fingers need to be pointed at the SMT and in particular the DofF who to date has made far too many questionable player signings. I for one hope that with some of the owners being in town are now taking a far more hands on approach as far as the SMT are concerned as they need to assert themselves given the poor performance of the SMT and the DofF in particular. |

No stand out attacking player. The recruitment has been pathetic. Scott's recruitment brain doesn't cross the halfway line. Bang average player, shite manager and a joke of a technical director yet he's made a good living out of the game. |

How do yo know if Camara is a goal scorer or not he has hardly played but he looked okay in the first game against Orient he has hardly played since then.

Really think we need to have a new manager in place by tomorrow morning if we're to get any decent players in on a permanent.
Otherwise I reckon we'll probably just bring in a couple of loan players tomorrow (a number 10 and a wing back comfortable on both sides).
We shall see.

We were delaying Scott Fraser's move to Hearts because we were waiting for the green light from Bristol Rovers regarding Collins. The article above would suggest we have either got him or moved onto another target. Selling our only midfielder capable of scoring goals and bringing nobody in as a replacement would be idiotic. |

We are working on a couple of deals, possibly three, one being a loan.
One of them is at an advanced stage while the other(s) are still ongoing in terms of negotiation.
I know we are interested ina n attacking player at Palace, not JRS. It's nhot been cofirmed whether he is one of the three.
Definitely in for a 10 and a wing back.

The Collins situation is Bolton have offered the most upfront but we have put the most attractive package on the table for club and player. I suppose it just depends on how likely and how soon Bristol Rovers are likely to get their add-on's. I would say it's in the balance. We're still in there plugging away but Bolton and another club are sticking their elbows out.

Oh I see what you mean I misread- well you're not wrong we're in a relegation fight and Bristol are 11th. I guess with all things money talks for the player 90% of the time. |

If Andy Scott or anyone else at the club involved in player recruitment, had anything about them, they would be signing Jake Young and Dan Kemp in the next 48 hours. They couldn't play for us this season so we allow them to stay where they are until the summer. 30 goals between them at Swindon in half a season while on loan. We never sign young talent, already in the first team and scoring for fun.

We must have a replacement lined up. If Scott let's Fraser go without a replacement then he deserves the sacking that will be coming his way. |

Throw Jack Payne in the mix and the fee for Kemp reduces even further. |
