I agree. Regarding Miller - he didn’t do much wrong but I couldn’t escape the feeling that he is a centre half playing fullback. The same feeling I get when Carter plays right back.

Any update on why Tyjon wasn't selected?

The Rolling Stones - The Spider And The Fly

He played the other week for his club after he failed a medical here seems that way for sure who else could when Cantwell wasn't going to be risked by Ismael? I agree on Alebiosu who looked ok on debut but he got forward and try to do what Brittain did for us. Replacing Brittain was always going to tough task given his qualities and how he played the right back role.

Alebiosu was OK in a knock-it-and-run down the wing and cross or win a corner kind of way. Still should have done better for the goal regardless of the attention of the opposition player. He doesn't worry me as much as De Neve and Hendriksson did ,as we have another potentially good option there with Miller.

Whilst the pending exit of Travis is another of the growing and continued long list of Fcuk ups from the board citing relegation after one game is crazy particularly away from him against a team notoriously known for being decent at home it doesn’t excuse the performance and doesn’t shy away from the obvious failings of the team but come on we need to see what happens come first international break to get a clear picture look at Norwich at home yesterday spent well beat at home sheff u hammered at home watford deemed to have done good business then obviously Derby too one game (whilst underwhelming) can’t be the barometer

If we’ve learnt one thing from yesterday’s game it is the Gueye and Ohashi aren’t on the same wavelength. I could see that when we tried it the last time against Millwall last season. Ohashi is a penalty box player, pure and simple.

@Mike Graham just to confirm, there are rumours that Jerome Anderson is still involved in some capacity?

I agree with the sentiment, but we did exactly that for 30 mins yesterday and created absolutely nothing and had no shots on target. I think we looked more threatening at the end of the first half with Hedges coming inside to make room for Alebiosu to overlap. That also didn't look remotely threatening either, but slightly more so. We should have swapped Hedges and Kargbo over once Alebiosu went off. Miller offered no threat aside from the long throws.

'A very poor clearance from one of the new boys Alebiosu' Well Kevin, it's pretty hard to do a good clearance when you're being wrestled to the ground.

I watched their game yesterday - you'd be furious with your GK if you were a Sheffield United fan / coach. Was weak for 3 of their 4 goals. Bristol City spent over £12m+ on players last year. No idea about this year as there are lots of loans and undisclosed transfers. They've had steady reinvestment into that squad. Meanwhile ours has been starved of money (both on the wage bill and in transfer fees) for 3+ years.

Yep think it would. Think we can forget about Miyoshi that one clearly isnt getting done.

Rumour has it we've been after him for months and he's keen to come - as the season has now started I'd be amazed if that transfer gets done.

As always, the legend of a player grows as soon as he leaves. Brittain is a good Championship RB, but he's not a worldie and he's not a game changer. Alebiosu rolled a ball across their 6 yard box and absolutely nobody attacked it. Brittain would have been similarly frustrated yesterday.

Miyoshi on the bench for Bochum today. Not sure if it affects his GBE status unless he comes on ?

It won't be pretty but points on the board is what matters!

Managed to get one over on the defenders few times too taking a it a touch further was happy with his performance man of the game for us

Unless there is some sort of miracle before the transfer window closes, I think our best bet is to play Gueye, Kargbo and Miller every game. Smash long balls up to Gueye, get Miller on every throw in, tell Kargbo to run at people. This was where we looked most effective yesterday and pre season - particularly against competent opposition. I don’t think we are scoring many goals otherwise.

Alebiosu was quite alright, especially considering it was his debut, but against a very average WBA side just OK is a downgrade on what we would have had. I think Brittain would have really troubled that WBA team yesterday.

Aye, much how I saw it, I was shouting to give it him every time we had the ball. Someone yesterday suggested playing him in front of Miller, seems like a plan to me.

100% agree. Alebiosu was doing all the work on the right practically on his own with the non-existent Hedges ahead of him. I was really concerned about him before yesterday but he pleasantly surprised me....maybe my expectations have dropped through the floor in recent seasons but he seemed ok to me.

Very good interview. It’s quite obvious that they are both of the same views at the moment. They believe rovers transfer dealings, both in and out, for a few seasons now have been poor and is a major reason for concern. “A couple of the new boys didn’t turn up”. Basically they believe the club is heading into dangerous waters. I 100% go along with them.

To be fair, I’m feeling pretty miserable looking at our current squad and how things might get worse. Relegation season incoming I think.
