Moore is looking to bolster his squad with new additions following the departure of Ben Whiteman to Preston North End.

But he admits it is a tough balancing act within a packed fixture schedule, with Rovers hosting Rochdale on Tuesday night.

“We’ve just started the process really so whether I can get people in for Tuesday, we’ll wait and see,” Moore said.

“It’s not stopped. Messages, phonecalls, emails - they’re coming in 24 hours a day. We’ll get through it.

“It’s more about focusing on the bodies that we’ve got in here and looking to Tuesday’s game which will be another great test.

“It’s two teams playing football and it’ll be another good game. It’s one that we’ll look forward to.”

Moore says securing new additions will be a collective effort, with head of talent identification Adam Henshall and chief executive Gavin Baldwin joining him in driving the hunt.

“All of those,” he said. “Adam is on board, myself, Gavin - we’ve got to share the load in looking to identify and try to bring that right person in.

“It’s not just falling on the shoulders of one, it’s going to take a joint effort and we’ve all got to all work together in seeing who is out there that we can bring in and is going to take us forward.”
