We signed 3 players who had played for Barnsley that season and allegedly had watched Styles too.

I was thinking more of a club who’s fans have been starved of success, had to endure shocking football for a very long period of time and with a rich owner who will invest if she thinks he’s the right man.

Fadz left at the right time. A few months later he couldn’t get into the Blackburn team. He’s a leader of men on the pitch but we have no idea how good a coach he will become. Out of our league but someone like James Tarkowski would be the ideal fit for us right now.

Yes a good fit I think.

I was told by a well known former director of the club that Robins pushed for BTA not the recruitment team. He was a long term admirer of him and he asked George to help persuade him to choose Cov over Hull.

Frank has talked a lot about the importance of the Chelsea spine and that spine running the changing room. In his short managerial career so far he has always brought in a very experienced centre half to compliment younger players with potential.

Hopefully his previous form is not a guide to his true ability. Horrible turning circle, gets caught for pace too often, with a scatter of red cards. I rather doubt he will be the answer.

What positions are lined up ? @Jimmy87

Must be Tavares. Not even in match day squad.

Frank won’t have come in without some assurances about transfers

I’d love to see an experienced centre half, new dynamic left back, cover at right back and cover for Tats ( assuming Raphael isn’t ready yet ) if he is then another driving CM.

I’m not saying he can’t do a steady job but he’s not the same threat. The second half yesterday with BTA one side and Rudi / Eccles the other we lost all of our attacking threat …. Instead of beating a man and drawing defenders on to them they simply held up play and passed it back to the full...

Rudi lacks the pace to be a threat out wide …. Good delivery but can’t run in behind or beat a man consistently.

Spot on. Rooney might be awful he might be ok but you can’t tell based on this Plymouth squad in the championship.

Lots of lazy comments re Rooney. Lowest playing budget by some distance, major players out injured, it is no surprise they are struggling.

Fair comments but Simms always gets shots off and Bassette rarely does.

I doubt Frank is panicking. I do suspect he thinks the defence and keeper options are worse than he first thought.

He can’t get in at Preston !. Next …..

I Wouldn’t spend much this window. We need the new Sporting Director in place to review our recruitment ahead of a busy summer window.

If people think Marty James is the answer to our problems then football might not be for them. James would not have prevented any of yesterday’s goals, he wouldn’t give us legs in midfield driving us forward with the ball.
