Nobody coming in yet

[RoversAlias]

Doncaster Rovers will not be signing anyone today. They had been hoping to add a player before the weekend. #DRFC

Taken from Rob Staton's Twitter. Excellent news.

I'm sure we'll have someone in in time for Monday nights game

[RoversAlias]

I'm not so sure. Most teams have matches to focus on today and tomorrow now.

Should both Hume & Syers be fit for Crawley, Flynn will not bring two in. #drfc


It looks like there's a good chance a least one of them will be fit now there's nobody's coming in.

I'm sure the Free Press get their info off this site. They claimed we were signing Madine this morning.

[MachoMadness]

Should we take that to mean we will have one coming in anyway or am I reading too much into it?

[RedJ]

I wouldn't be too surprised if we didn't actually see a new striker going by Flynn's comments on Ball.

Obviously you can't read that from that 100%, I know, but perhaps worth thinking about.

[MrFrost]

Even if we start getting players back form injury - we still need some additions!

[mrfrostsdad]

Quite right Mike and Syers and Hume don't look like being fit anyway

[grayx]

CORRECT.
Get those purse strings loosened before its too late.

[Belle Vue Popside]

Do we not learn?? So we have to either chuck youngsters in, or risk rushing injured players back, which hasn't done us any good in the past!!

We'll get loans in as and when we need them blah blah blah.

What's he said about Ball like? Be nice if he got a chance in the league.

Of course we do and it needs sorting. Why the hell we are 'firefighting' is beyond me ; it's an accident waiting to happen if we lose another midfielder again in the near future.

Should we not bring 2 or 3 players in the board DO NOT want promotion, plain and simple

I agree and the attendances will reflect that.

[Belle Vue Popside]

*Awaits dickos1 to come on and say nobody expected promotion so it'll be a superb season whether we are promoted or not...*

Yep I think you could draw that conclusion Mika bearing in mind that we have a stadium to sort still it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Perhaps the lads have been 'over-performing' up until the last 3 games but the players would still want to win it I hope.
It's down to resources, btw I don't want to be fobbed off yet again SM with facts about the extra money we will get when quite clearly we would have to use all of it if not more to compete in the Championship .
That is the reality of the situation given our attendances unfortunately. Higher Division = far more money required to purchase/loan and pay the wages of players able to compete against the 'big boys'.

Odds on bet as usual

[mushRTID]

Iv got to say this is very frustrating. All along we've been told players are lined up ready for when we need them. How much more desperate do we need to be? I appreciate we've tried and deals maybe couldn't be agreed but why say they are lined up?

Perhaps they are ALL unable/unwilling to do lemming impressions, it's not good for your career.

You all make it sound so simple. Click our fingers and 2 or 3 20 goal a season strikers stand up, saying me, me, me !!

No you won't those sort of players someone would have flashed a chequebook at them already. Besides it's the midfield which is the priority surely ?

Well we knew this situation was likely to happen and will have been getting things in place ready for when needed (which is now) and we've been told numerous times how it's all lined-up ready for when/if we need ffs.

Atleast we have those youngsters... Those that are so clearly ready that they've not featured this season (or very very rarely - Ball).

[silent majority]

I see the glass is half empty again!!

Hoola, I'm disappointed. I would have expected better than to accuse me of fobbing off. The truth of the matter is and always has been that the club wanted promotion and still want promotion, why wouldn't they? There is no business plan that sets the club up to 'nearly get promoted', how ludicrous! What they have done is not publicly state how ambitious they wanted to be so as not to pressurise any particular manager, but privately that was and still is the aim. The stadium and its requirements have no impact on the playing side at all. And just to, once again, state that we have the 3rd highest wage bill in this division, if that isn't a commitment to perform at the highest level in this division then what is? If you didn't want promotion you would cut that in half and save yourself the problem of having to foot the gap between expenditure and income.

[MachoMadness]

Just heard on RS that we aren't likely to bring anyone in til next week at the earliest. Flynn must be confident on Syers and Hume then.

Why are you panicking? I know the manager isn't, he's content with his squad for this weekend and will strengthen next week when the players he wants to bring in will arrive in time for the Yeovil game. Not only that but Hume and Syers will be available for that game too. Sounds to me like we will be at more than full strength very shortly.

[nortikorner]

we got players lined up  but we forgot where we lined them up

[Belle-Vue-Ghost]

I dont understand all the negativity on this thread, its a bit of a joke to be honest.  2 bad results and 1 not so great result and people are questioning management, ambition, finances etc.  Have you heard yourselves?  Second in the league, 16 games to go and a game in hand.  Remember that.  I'll leave it there.

[nortikorner]

we saw how content he was on tuesday stuck to his seat in the dugout  M Woods on final warning and kept him on(we could have lost another body) he seems to  lack ideas

[MachoMadness]

If Hume and Syers are back that'll be like 2 new signings in itself to be fair. If it turns out they aren't fit then questions will have to be asked but the side we'll hopefully be putting out will be good enough to win the game. Have faith! We're having a blip, it's getting a bit tiresome hearing how doomed we are every time we lose (and even when we win sometimes!) to be honest. It means when there actually is a problem people will be less willing to listen because they'll just write you off as whingers, ie the Blades fans.
