Yoda8 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Had a read at ARFC forums , painful reading but at least it has some critical analysis for a change and isn’t the happy clapping site of old. Picked up on rumours of a GK coming from Well and was hoping Chris or Pastmaster could confirm something. Hasnt JB already used his 4 loanees allowed until transfer window opens?? I may be corrected but understand that he brought in 3 in one day plus one of Alloa boys is on loan. (May not be the case but sure it’s Greene) Anyone know ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda8 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Also what’s happened with 3 brought in? Theyve not featured much, at all. Why sign them & not play them, the loan market was the potential joker to get us out this mess. If he’s signed them but isn’t playing them does that suggest that they weren’t properly scouted in the first place?? are they all still even at the club?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right one of the Alloa youngsters is on loan I remember seeing it on the SPFL in their list of summer transfers so that will be 4 loans you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mob are are going to blow that out the park. 8 points in 03/04 I think. 2 wins and 2 draws according to Wikipedia. Would be hilarious to see them finish on 0 but I think they'll sneak a win at some point, maybe towards the end of the season when only a few teams will have something to play for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still here, but seriously considering hibernation until the play-offs. As others have said, the Junior / Alloa weans gamble hasn't worked. However, even if we thank John brogan for his efforts on his way out the door, we won't be able to get an entirely new squad in mid-season. Could Jurgen Klopp turn this mob into a competent team at this level? I'm really not convinced... and he's busy with Liverpool, anyway Defending the grade, I'm not sure those Juniors collectively would cope in the top flight of the West either! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Doesn’t give me any pleasure to say this as I’ve always quite liked the Rovers but can’t see anything other than bottom for you this season. But for some ridiculously wasteful finishing and some good saves, we could and probably should have had 5 or 6. We were there not that long ago. We finished bottom of the pile but thankfully before the playoffs were introduced. Ferguson did his best though to take us down via the playoffs. I feel your pain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Would anyone else do any better with the shite that has been signed? You are stuck with those players until January by which time the damage will be well and truly done.I suppose the flip side would be surely someone else can’t do any worse. Rovers were dreadful yesterday, the amount of time and space we were given was unbelievable. Despite defending with ten men most of the game we were still able to cut through with ease time and time again. The only players that didn’t look completely out of their depth were the gk who was brilliant and no. 8 looked decent. (I thought he was Wharton until the real Wharton was introduced later - he was dreadful too incidentally).Depressing times for rovers fans! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holsten Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 What I don't get from the start is why sign so many alloa pro youth players when Alloa binned their set up .Did your manager actually watch these boys or was it from a recommendation from other people Any one who watches pro youth games would know that these boys would not cut it at this league Did the manager not at least play them in friendlies for 3 games and then make assessment. There was a few weeks before pre season that all these boys where getting signed from alloa and for the life of me I could not understand why as the way your season has went was always going to happen with this team I know my comments may seem a bit harsh but sometimes the truth hurts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Isn't it more likely that any other interest evaporated when the budget was revealed. Then Brogan was the only one that would take it and is using his resources the best he can. The Rovers board don't even seem to want to be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Cowden is the next best chance to get some points on the board? I mean, the season for the Wee Rovers has been pretty shite but at some point you're gonna get a result and it may well be next weekend. Of course, I haven't seen Rovers play this season..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Murray declined once budget was mentioned , I believe there was another contender who was a rookie in manager terms but had been working within the senior game for several years who wanted job. The board went for experience in Brogan which makes me ask, why do clubs always want experience even if the experience is bad??? Surely someone looked at his jnr record and said if he’s that good why has he not been given a top junior job ever?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnschild Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hello fellow virgin pointers! Must be worth a friendly punt. Who out of us will get first points in the bag. Feel free to gloat our site if it happens before us. Good luck in the season in all seriousness though 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierclyde Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I thought that the keeper played a blinder on Saturday. That first half save was outstanding. Do you have him all season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
