League One clubs will be interested in Nevitt because of his potential, and his ability to improve rapidly. I don't think it would be the right move for him if he left now, but that does not mean the interest is not genuine.
Glatzel was prolific when he was a) fully match fit and b) played in a front two alongside Hemmings. He would score plenty of goals at this level if he stayed fit.
True Boz as Hemmings is playing "out of position" often out left and as we saw in the first few minutes yesterday when we put in some great crosses he wasn't therefore in the box...
If Glatzel was here and fit Hemmings would be playing more as an out and out centre forward where ideally he should be all the time.
The Nevitt situation is a challenging one. Agree he can certainly develop further, though to what extent is hard to gauge. However, if Eliott knows once Glatzel is fully fit he won’t be a regular starter, then if there’s interest from a L1 club, the factors are in favour of a move, even if it’s to a club like Burton and he’s at risk of dropping back down to L2. Think Rovers should offer him a new deal now, but short of silly money indicate that he won’t be allowed to move this window. If he does go we’d need another forward in as well as Glatzel.
If Glatzel does arrive, then given he’s been out for 6 months already, will have to be eased in very gently. Unlikely to be match fit until October at a guess. His scoring record for us is 1 in 4 games, so while more prolific than Nevitt, a way to go to match Hemmings, who’s roughly 1in 3 games. If we do sign Paul and he stays fit, then the potential rewards are immense. It’s a very big IF though.
I agree with ADD about Hemmings having to play out of position. However in pre-season, we’d managed to find a way of getting plenty of balls into the box and he wasn’t having to go searching for it and that was when he was mostly playing alongside Nevitt. So where has that gone awry?
Not expecting much from Mumbongo, so anything we do get can be seen as a bonus. However Burton looked capable on his showing as a sub and given Micky apparently rates Taylor more, perhaps grounds for optimism there.
