Tewksbury Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 All those slating the transfer window should have a listen to what Deeney and Morrison were saying about Poveda signing for us after the game. "Brave move" "What attacker wants to go to a relegation team" etc. Even Rohl on persuading him to come. It's so hard to get players to come to a team at the bottom, it's just not worth the risk of relegation if on permanent, and it's hard to get the performances if on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR made this point when talking about his meetings with Poveda pre-transfer. Said he could see it in his eyes that he wanted to be here, and that not all players want to join a team at the bottom of the league Both Macguire and Biereth said, after turning us down, that they would get more chances to score with teams higher up the table. Catch 22 - we need quality, but quality might not need us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of our fans had written off the new signings before they had kicked a ball for us. The 1867 group certainly had reading there leaflet.

If only we’d had Rohl from the start of the season, we might not be pushing top 6 but we’d be out of the bottom 3. Im certain if we can avoid relegation we’ll be much more of a force with this management team. Agree about the comments re transfers. Even some of the summer signings have started to look better, eg Pol, Gassama, Mussaba. I think Momo will get better with more game time and Delgado would be more effective with the coaching we have now. Who now’s if we stay up and it clicks with Poveda, he might come here permanently with one or two of the others. Lets hope we can do it.

While there’s no evidence of it other than a feeling. It felt like an inflated fee because of it being the January transfer window, where the costs seem to be higher. That cost looks to have been inflated due to a few things. Him being sat in Sheffield. Orlando knowing about them having 22m in the bank. Fuck around factor from a few hours before. An inflated bid just to stop the bidding before time ran out. Whoever gets him, I don't think it will be us or Blackburn, it will be on much lower terms. (There are stories going round about Balckburn going for a pre-contract, and that's probably Orlando's only chance of getting anything like what Blackburn offered, so that could happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewksbury Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 1 minute ago, Owling_Wolf said: ??? The fixtures at the start were shocking. I said before the season that our first win would be Huddersfield. It took Rohl 14 games in charge to get a win outside the bottom 7, the fact is, we had the hardest first 10 games in the league. If Rohl had come in at the start, he'd have been sacked after 10 games, probably without a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewksbury Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Sitting down and thinking about it, the biggest miss and the most important signing for the summer is the set piece coach. If we were even average at attacking or defending set pieces, we'd be comfortably midtable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
