He could go to plan B right now and sign players to keep you happy Alan, but he ain't going to, sorry! but we’ve missed out on targets? So surely we already are on plan B C etc...?I stand by what I said last night we haven't missed out, until today that is.But Moore has said himself that we’ve missed out on some players.

I cant see how the manager will be happy about his attacking options and it's a huge problem. Things have dragged on ridiculously long imo and I cant see how anyone is happy about that. Hes doing a remarkable job considering what he has. Theres a real question about the lack of ability to get good signings in right now, it has to be a concern.
The realistic recruitment grounds for Rovers aren't so straight forward that makes targets the sure thing supporters would like them to be .Any shining lights within budget and more than likely lower down the pyramid are also going to attract the attention of other clubs .With all due respect Rovers at the moment aren't a stand out league one club , they aren't a minnow by any means but they are in with a group of clubs who have aspirations but are similar in size , same fan base and similar personal terms .Let's say you identity a young striker who has knocked in 15 league goals for Stevenage this season , plenty of other similar sized clubs as Rovers are also going to be on it too .I could name easily ten clubs in league one at the moment who would equally have enough about them to think they could land such a player .Until Rovers break away from that group of similar sized clubs and put themselves in to a position of becoming the club players see as a significant step up or even down if you want if you go in to the championship fringe players then its always going to be difficult .I don't mean any disrespect but try to call it as I see it .
The real question that needs to be asked of the board. Why do you bother? Why waste millions of pounds each year propping up a club that is "supported" by so many ungrateful bas**rds who cant ever forgive you for not being John Ryan

In the days when we got all our information from the Evening post, there was no promise of second-tier football within 5 years and claims of top-six budgets.
I loved the Green un, it would be full time at Belle Vue and a 15-20 minute walk the Christchurch bus stop, and the Green Un was already on sale at Christchurch gates on the corner, something to read on the bus on the way home
