Watts was an excellent signing but he was really a Leicester player. If we want to challenge we need to be shopping higher then 6th or 7th loi. A proven striker is a priority. The young bohs striker looks good but apart from him can't see anything at bohs. And he's only potential at the end of the day. We need to get lucky like cork with Maguire as I don't think any loi club has the money to sign a good proven striker.
Results this season against bohs were brutal but it's points everywhere we need to pick up and that won't happen enough without a 20 goal striker
This would be the pico and watts that scored up in oriel last time out
Next year will be interesting with ucd a good bet to do well and harps being stronger than limerick the relegat ion battle will be interesting. If the results go the other way nextvseason bohs are in a battle to stay up.
Except he wasn't signed from Bohs.
That would be a decent slag if it wasn't well established by now that you know absolutely f**k all about what makes a good footballer.
There's a long standing tradition of Rovers signing Bohs brightest prospects, it's mostly due to Rovers being full time more often than Bohs throughout history, sure the 4 in a row team basically used Bohs as its youth team.
Edit: You're also forgetting Brandon Kavanagh

My point is bohs best player or upcoming prospect is one thing but a team that would have been in a relegation battle without our help this year is not where we need to be shopping.
you mean like Shane Supple was a "done deal" last year ? Sure it's the reason you didn't need to get a decent keeper until the 16 year old came along - how did that work out for you ?
the sham "project" - if you can't beat them buy them 😉 And how's that worked out for you shams ? 😎
Rovers were never in for Supple, that was all paper talk. That's also not the reason at all but again you believe what you want
Seriously pal you been drinking? All that was said was Watts was a Leicester player not a Bohs player not that Rovers spotted him before he went to bohs, though everyone in the league and their dog knew about him way before Bohs even thought about getting him on loan, he was a 17 year old signed by the premier league champions after impressing in Europe, not like yous found him on the streets.
It was a restrained and understated claim in the first place.
Aaron Greene has also played Left Back, as has Joey O'Brien. So the list is really extensive - maybe the claim could be as many as eight classy left backs at Rovers if you also include Brandon Kavanagh and the young underage fella whose name escapes everyone
Pretty restrained to say Trevor Clarke is an exceptional left full and Sean kavanagh has been excellent potm last month. But don't let that stop you from having a go. I presume you don't disagree with Jarvis and mountney
I think Trevor Clarke is a very exciting player and is probably an accidental full back. Seán Kavanagh has impressed and is clearly a decent player, although I have mainly seen him on the left side of midfield.
Some of the other Rovers galacticos left backs mentioned vary between dire (Gilchirst) and inconsistent (Byrne) or are in the has-been (O'Brien) or unproven (Brandon Kavanagh / the fast under 19 whose name you don't know) category
John Mountney is a midfielder and doesn't play left back, although both Dean Jarvis and Dane Massey have competed strongly with each other for the regular left back spot at Dundalk this season
