Bit harsh on DKE, he’s only a kid in his first pro season.
Rate the dealing rubbish we let Stevenson go when his value would only have increased, people on here saying we need to sell well if we are running the club with no interference from you know who where is the money going Checkatrade money F A cup money lord knows if we had not got that then Willis ,Bayliss MacNulty and anyone worth anything would have gone . We sign Jonson Clarke Harris 13 first team games in the last 3 years 1 goal , Josh Barrett 4 first team games in 3 years no goals , Jordan McGuire -Drew 14 league games no goals . .WE NEED GOALS. We have still got Beavon and Reid on our books .Hate to have seen a bad window .Very harsh on DKE if some others fringe players showed the same commitment first team player would be being pushed for their places.

Is that a fact or just supposition many players don't turn out for their teams when transfer deals are in the offering clubs very often say their heads are not in the right place to play . I stand by the rest we need goals can't see where we will get enough to get us over the line.

We've scored 8 goals in our last 3 home games from 6 different goalscorers: Willis, Grimmer, Doyle, McNulty, Biamou, Shipley. We need to tweak the tactics away from home and improve the form there but it's not as a lack of goalscoring in the team.Is that a fact or just supposition many players don't turn out for their teams when transfer deals are in the offering clubs very often say their heads are not in the right place to play .

My other concern is that we've brought 3 players in, none of whom are match fit. They might look good signings on paper in terms of pedigree and being what the squad was lacking but how long til they can fully contribute?
He gets a lot of unfair stick, he's done OK at times this season. More importantly, both brothers epitomise the type of character we want to retain. Knobhead fans getting on his back are counter productive.
Leave him alone then.He gets a lot of unfair stick, he's done OK at times this season. More importantly, both brothers epitomise the type of character we want to retain. Knobhead fans getting on his back are counter productive.

I think Clarke Harris has been getting bits and bobs for Rotherham from the bench so might not be as bad as the other 2.
He did exactly what was needed on Tuesday which was to inject energy and enthusiasm into an otherwise tired team and without him we may well have seen a much more lacklustre start to the game. He didn't provide key moments but was heavily involved in the first goal and contributed well to the game being effectively over at half time (retrospectively!).his effort has been unquestionable, but I thought on Tuesday that he really got involved and influenced the game. Talking to someone at half time they said they thought he was our best player.
While I wouldn't necessarily agree with that I was really impressed with his performance. For a young lad who hasn't played regularly to come in and perform like that against a fairly physical side bodes well for the future.
Or CCFC Charlie!We start scoring more goals, and someone pops up with CAPITALS ISSUES and claims we require goals.
We've done pretty fucking well since losing JJ, in fact it seems to have liberated some players and we're getting into a very good rhythm.
MR has done particularly well in this otherwise annually disappointing window, and for the first time in over a decade, I'm positive about the team's direction and personnel.
Funny how Glen hasn't been on in so long...
Will he enjoy the football? I know you're happy with him as a signing but there's a lot of supposition there. He could just as easily think he's too good for L2 having dropped down 2 divisions in 18 months, get frustrated he's not starting over Biamou because he thinks he is better than him, then start rowing with Doyle on the pitch at Colchester away (Bowyer/Dyer style) for chipping 20 yard balls at his head in the 10 minutes of sub appearance he gets, causing Doyle to snap their MoM Ben Stevenson in half after he was just stood there grinning at it all and getting himself a 6 game ban and consequently train wrecking the dressing room team spiritOut the 3 it's JMD who's had the most recent injury I believe, Barrett had Ben Stevenson's cold days into joining on loan.
JCH is fit but likely a little rusty having minimal match time, a fresh start and new perspective and enjoying football again should fix that with match minutes.
With the amount of games coming up all will come in and get minutes.
Much more rain on the Ricoh pitch and I think we might well see Clarke-Harris and Doyle rowing on there.Will he enjoy the football?

Shipley was like a new signing in Oct/Nov..
Bayliss was like a new signing in December.
Vincenti was like a new signing in January also, surprised everyone including me, thought he was out for 3 or 4 months!
Very happy chappie.
Bayliss especially has been like bringing in a new signing and a really talented one at that.I'm genuinely really pleased today and happy with our squad!
We're a lot stronger than where we were in December which is all you can ask for.

I was going to be disappointed at losing Stevenson, but if he HAS been petulant, as it may well seem, I am now not that unhappy to see him go.All my thoughts are summed up on this thread already really.
Decent work and we didn't really lose anyone that is going to make a difference between now and the end of the season which is the most important thing.
Yeah, same here. Maybe that was on the cards at some point because there was talk of a loan player maybe coming in, in addition to JCH.Nothing more to add. I was a little bit surprised we didn't get a player on loan from Wolves as part of the Stevenson deal though. Was fully expecting that we would.
