TxRover Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 1 minute ago, RR #1 said: Most people here only watch the Rovers every week and aren't out scouting potential signings. There are plenty defenders available out there more than good enough for our level. people just need to be patient. The recruitment so far this summer has been very good in my opinion but no team in the country will have their entire squad as they would like at this point. And that’s the point. There’s the panty pishing that @CountryBumpkin is complaining about from those that seem convinced we need to have the entire team established before next week. I can’t think of a Rovers side that was fully established before mid-August in the last 10+ years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog_champion Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 8 hours ago, Been going too long said: It is disappointing we haven’t learned when we let an experienced, decent defender leave last season in Bene and did the same this year with Lang( assuming of course we didn’t make an offer) for both to sign a league below and we are left looking around again. Hopefully we get a good one in eventually. Sshhhhh, you’ll get a red dot for thinking like that. Oh wait you did. Imagine worrying about the lack of defensive options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t know and neither do I because it’s not our job to know. We now have 3 or 4 full time employees to do that job. It seems they have blown the budget on too many wingers and not been able to attract our first or second choice centre backs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 They may be looking at Patterson playing in competitive games to see how he copes. He can play up to 3 games as a trialist in any competitive competition as long as it's not at the knock-outstages. Could be the same as Hamilton and we're just waiting on international clearance if a deal has already been made. However, I do think we need another 6'+ experienced CH. Big Kev doesn't look short of a bit of pace if we're going to play him as a sweeper keeper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s all this wailing without knowledge, and we have no idea why these others we were reportedly pursuing declined to sign. I think we’ll be waiting a while.

Plenty time, a loan market to consider when the bigger/better clubs are back in training and decide what they're doing. I'm surprised we've not been looking at (or maybe we have) Daniel O'Reilly and Matthew Shiels from Hamilton, both of whom left in the summer and yet to find new clubs. Ye seem awfully triggered by minor concerns that you want to sit elsewhere, gies peace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog_champion Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Here’s my tuppence worth, we’re constantly being told be patient. Murray wants to to play a high line. That’s utterly impossible with the defensive options available. Edited July 6, 2023 by Stardog_champion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It’s definitely a blow to be coming out of pre season without Ross, Brown, Matthews and Connolly. I hope we won’t rush Hamilton back and end up with his taking a reaction too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 6th of July. There isn't a team around that has done all there business the first week of July. The league campaign doesn't kick off for another month yet. We've done good business to this point. There's definitely some knicker wetting going on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I can forgive Murray when Berra left us in the lurch, no one foresaw that. I didn’t really expect us to be struggling again this season. The business performed by the club this season has been a breath of fresh air, but our defence isn’t anywhere near ready for competitive football. If we make a decision on B Patterson that could give us the option of having L Dick as a centre half pairing with Watson. And yet hardly pishing the breeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no breek pishing just discussing the team and although recruited very well in forward areas definitely a bit light in defence and an obvious area of weakness and feels a bit de Ja vu from last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
