I've just read that Farrand Rawson has joined Forest Green Rovers on a free transfer. I was under the impression he was considered as one of our academy prospects to break into the first teamc in the future ? Sadly it's more a case of Lewin Nytanga it would appear. All the best to the kid.
In other news and still focusing on Forest Green it's been reported ( reliable source) that DCFC scouts have been monitoring their top scorer ( Christian Doidge) for a considerable amount of time now. I'd expect Bent and Blackman to leave before tabling a bid, however other Championship clubs have monitored this player too.
I'd love to see a few rough diamonds signed again from lower leagues instead of the multi million pound players we've signed in recent years with a mixed result on their success at the club.
Farrand Rawson

Strange one this
Rotherham fans regarded him as by far their best player when he was there on loan, almost single-handedly kept them above water.
He couldn't quite break into our first team, but always seemed close, then went out to Accrington on loan which seemed like an odd step down considering he'd been performing well in the Championship, but for some reason he was seen as a liability during his time there, and has now signed for the team at the bottom of the league.
Maybe some injury problem or something else going on in his life that we're not aware of? Such a sharp downturn is unexpected, he's done no worse than the likes of Bennett who have also disappointed when on loan at lower league clubs.

Was Wassall in charge when Hughes & Hendrick came through the ranks?
You can't teach natural ability though and for this we should blame our scouts. It's not like we have let any "gems" escape before they reached the first team.
Even the DCFC darling Will Hughes is not setting the Prem alight, he can't even get ON the bench ATM.

Scouse, Will is injured at the moment. Since he has been out of Watford's team they haven't done very well.

Rawson was a regular for Rotherham until Colin was made manager. The first thing he did was to drop Rawson and he never seemed to recover.

Fair enough VC, maybe a good job we sold him as he does seem a tad fragile?
Are you going to the game tonight?

Yeah I read that no non-vegan food is served within the grounds of the club, but the veganism isn't enforced on anyone in their own personal time.

I hope you lot don't tempt Christian Doidge away otherwise they will likely go straight back down! He is there leading scorer on 11 goals ffs. Unless Mark Cooper arranges to loan him back for the rest of the season. Some fans are calling for his head already and that was during play, I thought that was disgusting, but what do I know?
On the subject of the vegan menu their website makes a big thing of, all the excellent dishes on offer, but where? Certainly not in the Green Man bar in the mainstand.
All i could source were half cold chips, the real ale was good though to be fair.

Should be a great loan for Lowe and for Shrewsbury. He needs to prove he is fit enough to play regularly and he is not going to get much chance of that at Derby this season. He has a lot of natural ability for a left back and if he can learn the defensive side I still think we have a very good prospect. I'll certainly try to pop down and have a look, not to mention encourage him if he makes a mistake at any point.

Not to mention the occasional groan, to prepare him for the East Stand regulars
