Ambitious Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 In and around their squad last season, so must be highly thought of relatively speaking. I did think Brighton could be a good link for us under Rosenior, proves that may be the case. He has played full back too. Versatile option for the team. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him switching between CB and LB out on loan at Rochdale a couple of seasons ago. LeedsCityRam and EnigmaRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 With more games this season thanks to the pizza cup, any versatile players in the squad are a big bonus nogbad van 50, Andicis, Crewton and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic70 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 That loan was when Rochdale was in League 1 (googled to confirm). So Roberts has some idea of what to expect. It was also at a side fighting relegation, he'll probably be expecting to come into one which ought to be challenging for the top half & better. Derby County 'target' subject of six-figure Leeds United bid - report - Derbyshire Live (derbytelegraph.co.uk) Leigh Curtis /Sep '20 well before he replaced Nicholson at the DET. We've been linked to Roberts before. Linked to RB Leipzig as well. The only concern is that a club higher up/Champ'ship chance their arm & try to gazump us. Yes, I'm talking about Luton.

Left sided so this means competition with Cashin, maybe occasionally filling in at LB. Two from Chester, Stearman and Davies battling it out to be the experienced partner.

I don't get why they'd go to Luton. Apart from a few quid more a week. Their ground is a dive (sorry Hatters), their academy is cat 3 (may now have recently scraped cat 2?), and they average barely 10k fans a week on a good day. I don't get the draw.

Fearsome home atmosphere, though. The fans are almost in touching distance of the pitch. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the good old days when we were competing with Villa for players, now it's bloody Luton. If they hadn't got em all at 40k a week we'd have been bust 3 years ago.

Yeah, get that, I've been. Very much an old fashioned ground and one reason they did well last season imo; it's a pretty hostile environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathen Jones is ex Brighton (may even have been caretaker manager for a game) and has good links there. Possibly even played with Rosenior. Roberts was a centre back but is t the tallest and ended up more a left sided defender. His loan spell at Rochdale ended with Rochdale being relegated and they leaked goals for fun.

Asanovic70 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 @BucksRam, I was being ironic/flippant, but parent clubs aren't sentimental, they want to see a player progress. At the moment, we're disadvantaged by the fact that we are in League 1. Other sides may appear 'lesser', but they can offer what the parent club may prefer that player to experience.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Put it this way. The idea is to test a player on loan at the highest standard available to see how they cope. Chances are it will be Luton then. Another parameter is how do they play in front of a large crowd, but the league position trumps it . Any normal season he's here tomorrow.

Yeah fair comment, get that. Maybe I'm biased. No, I know I am. Not a fan of Luton. As you may have guessed. Its not far from me so I know it pretty well. Unfortunately ?

They started last year saying survival would be great, they know who they are and have no pretensions, they been through the same EFL mill as us (but Luton really is grotty with a capital G ) angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
