The summer has been a disaster. Mccann replaced the two full backs, and since then we’ve signed one player and a bunch of loan signings. That after losing 8 first team players from last season Moore wanted players but the club couldn’t provide themEmbarrassing Penultimate sentence of course totally made up.What possible evidence that the club couldn’t provide them?!?!Last statement pointless too..Embarrassing.??It is embarrassing The end of the season we lost most of our contracted first team players plus 3 important loan signings. When mccann left, the squad was lightweight Moore even described it as a skeleton squad. Yet two months on we have fewer contracted players than when he took over this skeleton squad There is a difference between “disappointing” and “embarrassing”, isn’t there.?

Opinions are one thing but when the facts are clear that DM has been telling us nothing when selling our top scorer before failing getting any replacement in and now we’re left patching up a forward line with teenagers and loans as well as bringing in crocked centre back and loans ANOTHER to replace him . Darren Moore is winging it and Saturday against Ipswich will show us what we have as potential. What a F*** up !!
If Ennis and Sterling can get us promoted, does it matter that we do not own them? We didn’t own Wilks or Kane last season and they made the difference.
Well, what an anticlimax today has turned out to be. No surprise there then!

You know, if it wasn’t for the serious real problems they have to deal with, I would start a thread with contact details for the Samaritans.Yes it is disappointing being a player or two short, and I would favour a proper no 9..But bleating about it on here and saying something’s wrong at the club isn’t going to help us beat Rotherham on Saturday is it.?
Just lower your expectations of what we will achieve this season and you will all be fine. We don't need a no 9 if we don't expect to be in the playoffs.
Completely & utterly embarrassing, hit a bad patch & the attendances will drop like a stone, seems we are looking to Moore to make a silk purse from a pigs ear. For the first time ever I am contemplating picking & choosing the games I go to, shoot me down I don't care but this reminds me of many years ago when we sold to survive, sorry but at my age I haven't got the time & energy to go through it again. Well done Rovers, you get in a good manager & for whatever reason fail to get the business done.

Quote from: NickDRFC on September 02, 2019, 05:26:29 pmI have a theory about Moore, may be completely wide of the mark, but I reckon that at West Brom he wasn't particularly involved in transfers - most likely just identified the players and that was it, the next steps were taken by other staff (given they have a significantly bigger team). Whereas here he is more involved, and his inexperience could be hampering him.I could be completely wrong, but we've never seemed to have so many problems "getting deals over the line" in previous seasons despite the same team at board level - is the manager an issue?I think Moore has made a great start on the football side so don't want to criticise him but it's difficult to argue that the transfer strategy this summer has been disastrous. Where the fault lies for that I don't know, but it is something that really needs looking at and improving.Managers at big clubs don't even identify the players. The manager would say they type of player he wants and the recruitment guy does the hard work gets a list of 5 players and then the CEO sorts it out. We had a head of recruitment under DF can't remember his name but is it a coincidence we signed the best set of permanent talent we've had for a while with that in place.

Still can’t believe people are still rambling on the same nonsense they have all summer. The squad as it is now is nothing like a top 6 squad. If we get a couple of injuries we’re in a mess, if Stirling or Ennis get injured we’ve got kiwomya 🤷🏼♂️
