Russell in for Connell and Shepherd for McCart Williams still at centre back. Nice. https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2024/january/team-news-bristol-rovers/
I have no problem with Shepherd but we may as well get rid of Cundy and McCarthy if they are nowhere near the team constantly for 6 months.
The only reason he’s in is because he has a left-foot. Collins said something similar when Dodgson played LCB on Boxing Day.
If you were a player/agent would you sign for a team now or wait and explore your options until the end of the window to get the best deal possible? Unless I was talking to a club way above my level and if it fell through I'd have no other options or going out on loan, I doubt I'd sign anywhere until deadline day or at least close to it.
And risk getting injured in the meantime while you play for your club and not getting a deal at all? Interesting approach.
