People said right back was a problem in the summer. In fact people said Lambert wouldn't do it at this level. How many people would have expected Russell Martin to be performing very well for Norwich in the premier league? Exactly. With the right coaching he is a very very capable player, as we've seen this year. Probably what I'd call our ''unglamorous'' player of the year so far.

Doubtful, 6 premiership games being played.

Stoke journos now reporting that Collins has turned us down again. Move on...! That'll be us now - maybe a CB on a short-term loan in a few weeks. But a very satisfying window to say the least!

Ignore him. He's behind the times. He said ''Collins set to sign for Southampton'' after everyone else was saying it had fallen through. So no surprise that he's now reporting he's snubbed us, after others are reporting we're back in for him.

TBF if it's a loan deal then he can sign from Thursday onwards too.

I don't think they'll get the most out of him playing the way they do. Just my opinion.... but with Vaz Te, Eduardo and possibly maynard they're obviously trying to add pace

Excellent. Will be one of our best ever January windows if this goes through.

They want maynard as well then....

WHU are opening talks with Bristol City for Nicky Maynard.

A few stoke correspondents/midlands reporters now saying the Collins deal is on. (on twitter)

From the horses mouth, Sharp confirmed himself and he was gutted he couldn't feature tonight.

According to Alan Nixon the reason was ''so trivial'' that he expected it to be resolved.

Didn't register in time. So it'll be Saturday live on TV when he gets his chance. It'll probably be Lambert and our new Japan international striker tonight...!

...on his way to our training ground I hope!

Good luck for the rest of the season Donnylee. Nice to see oppo making fair comments like you have. TBF all Doncaster fans are very fair in their views. Hope you stay up.

Good post, appreciate your views. Out of interest....has he ever played with a ''big man'' at Donny? As we're kind of wondering how a little man/big man partnership will strike off here, with him and Lambo.

nope.

Not able to play, wasn't registered in time. Thought we had until mid-day today, but that's just loans.

I cannot see Pearce here, not sure how that would go down with everyone either!

You haven't seen us much in the last 3 years then.

billysharp10 billy sharp Sad day leaving doncaster today great memories enjoyed every minute so thankyou to all the fans and my team mates u have been amazing. #drfc

I think so, but very rarely played. He's in a purple patch at the mo, but I don't think he's any better than they've got at the mo. They've just added another average striker to the mix.

What a panic buy that is.

I think the quickness in this is more down to the failure to sign Hooper than anything else. We've worked all window on that one, but they wouldn't sell.
