Burrows from what IK saw at the end of last season a bit of a league 1 Ryan Giles which can useful

Old characters leave … new characters arrive ….

yes we lose COH but we gain Milan, yes we lose Kelly but we gain Lati ….

I think losing experience is a bigger issue than losing “personalities” ….

Would take Burrows in a heartbeat , he is the modern full back and not for off a carbon copy of MvE . Also his set piece ability would be invaluable to us

If JH is not real then who has been sending me saucy pictures on twitter!

Maybe it was Janine catfishing you.

Potentially losing Godden, Wilson and O'hare too, that's not just loads of experience going, but they are all big characters around the place.

That's one of the reasons that someone like Browne would be a good fit IMHO.

Agreed and whilst we have a ‘model’ that we’ll follow, you don’t want to have a team with next to no experience to help the players through tough games and situations. A player like McNair and Browne (for example) would be a great fit.

Southampton signed some really good young players in 22/23 but the team was too inexperienced and that contributed to their relegation.

I agree to an extent but we have experienced players in Sheaf ,Bidwell and even Wright who can step up within the squad

Yep, Sheaf is definitely a leader and there’s a decent supporting cast of leaders like Lati, Kitching, Bidwell and even the likes of Allen. That all said, not many of those will be starters so it’s still a gap in my view.

More experience won’t be a bad thing especially given how young the team is.

I think that was just a bit of gossip wasn't it. Just can't see it personally, Dasilva has 3 years left on his deal, players don't tend to leave 1 year in.

Dasilva like him or not is that luxury lwb that is more attacking than defensive. I'd be pretty terrified if we only had him and a untested youngster going into the season.

I'm up for upgrading Bidwell but it needs to be with an all rounder, if anyone can suggest a left sided MVE that would be ideal?!

It's all just gossip isn't it but I think Saddlebrains gave it some weight (apologies if wrong).

Thing is I totally agree with your main point here (and DO'D/Rex). I think Burrows is worth a shot but him and Dasilva sound pretty similar so I would only be looking to bring him in if Dasilva was off.

Don't set your hopes too high him being a carbon copy. MVE is very technically gifted, pace to burn and was talked about being a potential successor to Dumfries. Burrows very good left foot, good crossing ability but plays in a different style to MVE and potential ceiling lower.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Doug isnt fucking about Robins likes the players early and he is getting them not many other teams are doing much at the moment and some don’t even have a manager yet.

I'm terrified every time JDS has to defend. Watched Burrows a lot towards the end of last season scored at Wembley in the football league trophy, and great crosser of the ball but is a gamble concerning his defending

I thought that was Galloway?

 

[rexo87]

is this the guy you were on about earlier?

But at least he's not a 5'2" dwarf the opposition target every game.

no

Dying at how many people on Twitter and here are taking John Harriott seriously

Literally been doing this for 10 years hahahah

Doesn't matter how many times it is pointed out that he isn't a real person, people still think there might be something in what he has "said."

Your book needs throwing out then!

No smoke without fire pal.

It’s like when people say a rumour has some traction but usually it’s just several people repeating the same made up stuff hoping to look ITK. See Callum Doyle situation.

That's a JH promise
