The Squad 2021-22

[Boz]

I hadn't heard that re Scottie Davies, shame after there were some encouraging noises a few weeks ago.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

I don’t understand the Ross Doohan situation. It would seem we need a reserve keeper but Celtic will want Ross to play in most games. Joe Murphy has not let us down and our captain will be expecting his place back when he’s fit again. We could have three experienced goalies available for most of the season.

My take is that maybe Scott is indeed some way from playing again. Micky knows Ross well and I am also wondering whether he is seen as a possible permanent replacement.

Joe Murphy considered retiring after last season had finished, there was at least a couple of articles in Irish papers about it. This will be his last season.
Sadly it appears Scott has suffered a setback so Doohan provides competition/cover for the season and may well get a chance to prove his worth during the season.

That's not good news at all but makes 100% sense now that the Club is bringing in Doohan.

Looks like we are about to announce a signing.....

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Ross Doohan signed.

 

[bigmart]

Season long loan.

 

[Boz]

Decent signing given the issues with Scottie but think Murphy deserves the shirt for now after a good pre-season.

another supposed to be having a medical today please a good striker

More likely to be a wide player or defender I think.

I would guess a winger

 

[aldoes mustache]

yea most prob but we need the forward sorted

It has been suggested by an ITK poster elsewhere that we will get a 'yes or no' response from the EFL regarding McNulty today.

Hopefully a decision is made 1 way or another

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

McNulty and TRFC appear to be just collateral damage in the battle between Reading and the EFL. That’s a shame as in the nightmare scenario McNulty is brought into Reading’s first team squad (which I expect neither wants) and Rovers end up with a third-class striker.

Doesn't look to bad a squad!!, looking forward to Saturday to see how we fair

 

[Sparky]

Yes when you look at the squad on paper it does look decent especially in midfield areas. We possibly need some right back cover although perhaps Maguire and McDonald could go there at a push.

Just need that elusive striker…..

 

[drwhoman]

The squad is solid but we all know that the attack is light. As regards Doohan, let’s hope he is the real deal. Celtic had goalkeeping issues and hence they signed Joe Hart the other day. Obviously, Postecoglu did not think Doohan was ready. As an aside, Ange was a strange choice as Manager and it will be interesting to see if he lasts.
