Paco Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 If there's money kicking around I'd question why we're chasing a striker when we don't have a right winger. A striker could become an issue in January if Mole doesn't extend the loan deal, but right now we don't really need one. Which isn't to say Wales isn't a good player, and if he does sign I'm sure he'll do very well for us. Great news about Campbell playing for the reserves, hopefully it won't be too long before the big man is back in contention for the first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Getting Sparky back will be fantastic if he can return to the form he was on before his injury. Hopefully he makes a recovery as that would be a massive boost to us. As for Walesy, lets hope we hear soon from him. Would love to see him make a return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I would definitely be in favour of Wales coming in and Tadé dropping back to right wing, funds permitting. Tadé can still do all of the good stuff he's doing at the moment, but we'd also have two natural finishers up front sticking the ball in the goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Very different players, but I'd leave Tadé where he is, why change it when he's doing so well? Maybe Wales would play wide instead. Dunno. As ever, I trust McGlynn's judgement. I seem to remember when we signed Simmons we didn't really think we needed another midfielder, but he was evidently thinking longer term and signing up a good player while he was available. It's not impossible that Weir, as well as Mole, might not be with us come January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not impossible that Weir, as well as Mole, might not be with us come January. Tade wide right could drag midfielders out of place when he is running at them. How many teams have strong physical left-backs in this league? Much like right backs, there is a distinct lack of quality in those two positions. Wales was similar to Tade when he played with us as he would drag players about and free up space for others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Tadé generally puts in a good performance playing up front, but we all know he's not liable to score us many goals. Whilst Baird seems to suit playing alongside Tadé, I don't see any reason why a hypothetical partnership with Wales would see him suffer. Gary Wales offers a better goal threat than Tadé, and I remember his link up play being pretty damn good too. I think he and Baird would compliment each other's game excellently, as both are good at linking up and both can finish pretty well. As has been mentioned, it really is a right midfielder that should be the priority. I like the idea of playing Tadé there, but I'm not sure if if the ideology behind it would translate well into reality. What is unquestionable, is that we lack width - the only width we have in the team is from the full backs, and this causes problems when one or both of them has a poor game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith_94 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Tadé has barely lost a header all season playing up front, and given the occasional directness of our play, it would seem daft to move him. In McGlynn we trust though, and if indeed there is an opportunity sign Wales I'd be all for it. Great news about Campbell. Anyone know if he came through his runout ok? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAITHROVERS84 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I see Kevin Smith scored in extra time at Molineux tonight. Anyone know how he's been getting on? [/ Been getting used sparingly as far a I have seen but did score a winner in a match a couple of weeks I recall. On a side note I need a favour, I notice on fantalk (I am not registered) there maybe a few seats going from a bus leaving styx. I know a few people post on this site and fantalk and wondered if anyone can pm details to get in touch with the organiser of said bus?? Hopefully thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I see Kevin Smith scored in extra time at Molineux tonight. Anyone know how he's been getting on? I've tended to keep an eye on him, he's made an appearance in every match since scoring the winner at Watford. He scored an injury time equaliser in a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth and started the last couple of matches on the back of it - didn't score though and was dropped to the bench last night, but got his goal to set up an exciting finish. Overall seems to be doing quite well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 How do this season's Rovers shirts fit? Are they too big or too small? I'm 99% sure that they won't fit like a normal t-shirt... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, which is made all the more odd given it is the same manufacturer both years. Surely a small should be a standard size by Puma as should a medium etc. What the hell are they playing at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Spoke to the extremely sound Dougie Hill before the game and he told me that he was aiming to be back in 4-5 WEEKS! Brilliant news, all the best to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
