    Alfie Kilgour is wanted by three clubs in this transfer window. Exeter City, Mansfield Town and Colchester United. JB has already stated that Kilgour could be on the move this window and with Ollie Clarke being at Mansfield they could well team up again

    As he’s a Rovers lad through and through it’s a pity that he doesn’t fit into Barton’s plans but he hasn’t played particularly confidently whenever he gets a chance.

    I wonder if it will be a loan or a permanent transfer?

    Reading JB's comments I think it will be a permanent move, shame really because I believe a good run would have been beneficial and helped him regain his form

    I'll be honest with you, I don't think he's good enough for a top half League 1 team so probably best for his own career to move on to get regular football because he will decline if stuck on our bench or not even in the match day squad.

    Teaming up with Ollie Clarke and in Nigel Clough has a good manager. When we played the u23s games near the mall I often had a chance to speak with him and he was a really nice guy, sorry to see him leave but I hope the future is really k9ind too him Thanks Alfie for all you have done for the Rovers.

    2 defenders out no players in and we aren't keeping enough clean sheets, be interesting to see who arrives, we need an experienced CB and a LB

    Put in 2 good performances and scored 2 goals, why wasn't he given a fair chance at the Rovers, at least he always tried to stop the goals going in our net. They reckon our squad is stronger now than before the transfer window opened.
    Morecombe, Accrington and M K Dons all in the bottom 5 and we are stronger now? then I would say League 2 here we come

    Hope he does really well. Looks like a new lease of life for him. This playing out from the back has cost us a lot of goals this season to be honest, and I'm not sure this is the way to go anyway in the higher leagues.

    A decent L2 side his is level in fairness. Good luck to him. Looks like he is thriving already. Does Ollie Clarke still play for them?
