At least they won't be forced to pick him for every match like we were last season!I see Chris Atkinson has joined Crewe on a free.
I agree, Boz, it's better to get everyone in early to help the team gel in time for the first match, but when was the last time Rovers started the season without some last minute panic signings? In truth, Rob's got little choice. Yes, he'll be waiting for good players without clubs to drop their demands, but I expect he'll be hoping to sign a couple of long-term loanees, who tend to become available quite late in the summer.The latest comments from Rob Edwards suggest that while there are players he could sign now, he's playing a waiting game presumably in the hope better players without a club reduce their demands as the new season approaches. I'm unsure about this as any players signed late in the day who've not been involved pre-season will require bedding in. Whether the higher quality compensates for this is a moot point.
Is Woodards any good? Didn't really notice in a positive/negative way at Marine. The only other time I can recall seeing him in action was as part of the Franchise defence ripped up by Dale Jennings.
I'd have been happy to see him back here, but I would guess he'd be too expensive and Wolves would prefer him to be playing in League One. I can quite see him signing permanently for the Magpies at the end of the season.I see Jake Cassidy has gone on loan to Notts County. Shame his last spell with Rovers was not more productive. Mind you it cannot do much for a player's confidence if his home club keeps loaning him out!
I'm with drwhoman on this. We have signed more than our fair share of crocks over the years and it has been costly. This is a win-win. Danny has a chance to get fully match fit and prove he can sustain it. If he does, then surely Rob will give him a longer contract. The club wins as it has cover for Liam for up to six months - and maybe for some other positions - probably at low cost and certainly without too much risk.
