I was originally in the camp that said we needed to sign an experienced centre half, however I can see why we’ve done this. The decision was made to extend Anderson’s contract in the summer and he is our experienced centre half. Time will tell whether he can recover from injury and prove that decision right - we all hope he can. Long is reflective of what seems to be an emerging strategy here - bringing in young players that already have some experience and can come here to develop further. That’s what we all want really, and what many of us have been calling out for for a long time after the over-reliance on loan signings. We’re building a core group that can hopefully develop with us and appreciate in value. Long seemed to be quite highly thought of by the Wigan fans, and is obviously someone we must have had our eye on for some time to have paid a fee. Hopefully he slots in well and helps us progress in the coming season. It makes us stronger at centre back.

Genuinely interested. “Very good at x / Poor in the air” are bold statements to make about someone that’s played around 20 senior games.
Love the pictures that the Rovers website have put up. Look at the second picture and he looks as though he is hiding the exam answershttps://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/2022/july/gallery--adam-long-joins-rovers/COYR
Big boots to fill as Cam John's replacement. Hope he's up to it. As he's Manx I'll be following him with added interest. Wonder if he's our first player from the island?
