Millenniumram Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Little bit unexpected this one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy we’ve given him a new contract - he was still competent at Championship level, so you’d expect him to be extremely solid in League One. A top pro to have in the dressing room, and will provide excellent cover for Chester and Cashin without kicking up a fuss. But if we’re signing Davies and Roberts as well, that will leave us with 5 CBs, which seems excessive to me. Do we really need to waste a loan on Roberts now that we could use elsewhere?

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Stearman, Davies, Chester and Cashin... looking very strong at centre-back now! norwichram, Rammy03 and kevinhectoring 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1988 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Fantastic news. Great centre back with experience and seems to a really good guy to have in the dressing room as well. We need characters like him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Fantastic pro. Another future coaching candidate. My only concern with the centre halves is aerially we could be better. Flint or one or two others we were linked with would have obviously helped in that department. Pace-wise could be better too, although Roberts looks an athlete. In terms of reading the play though, we are more than covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can read the game as well as these lads can, we will be fine in league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A name I’ve not heard before until tonight but rosenior and stearman mentioned a man called Pete shuttleworth I think it was and saying he’s had a big part to play in signings.

I would have argued that aerially is a strength of Stearman and Davies, whilst Cashin has shown Bucko levels of determination and strength to be competitive! Pace and mobility would have been a concern except as @Bald Eagle's Barmy Armysaid they can read the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is a slight at him or a reference to our administration position but for clarity Rosenior mentions in his interview on Rams TV that recruitment isn't really his area. However since he is an analyst who's job is to pore over match footage and do opposition scouting he has been able to not only identify targets but also directly make contact with players and their agents to help get deals done. So he has gone above and beyond his role Apologies if I'm missing what you're saying but I wanted to help set the record straight in case there was confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I said he’s ticking all the boxes so far with what he’s been able to do now we can sign players. Whether it’s his core responsibility or not. ??

Rample Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Keeping a core of the dressing room together was massively important this season in spite of players leaving, so well done Liam, David, Curtis, whoever. Stearman gives us further depth and is solid enough when called on, especially if the players around are less experienced. As much as I hope Davies can play another full season, cover is essential in a particularly bruising league over a very long season.

Caerphilly Ram Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Love this quote from @Owen87ITK Liam described you to us as a “culture signing”. And Stearman’s response acknowledged he’s at a point in his career where he might not play every game but will bring other strengths through the week etc. That’s the continuity I’ve been hoping for within the squad, Stearman and Davies will set standards within the squad and help the team gel, which will be vital this season. I think it’s a really good signing even if he’s used sparingly and to support the u23s, he’ll always do a job and will bring character to the squad. jono, Carnero and Kathcairns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
