Pay as you play? I presume that will be to his club not the player? As much as a like the idea of the signing, his injury must be pretty risky if we're offering offers like that. Cant see the parent club accepting that tbh.

No one has gone over the top with the comments, no one has said we win the league but we witnessed a good performance against a PL team and some of us cautiously optimistic for the season whilst recognising we still need 3 or 4 more signings for the season. So what was wrong with anyone's comments who attended the game?

Oh. Damn. Thanks for the update. Hopefully pears remains injured for the next few months

It was a good performance and really encouraging yesterday. That 11 plus a few more signings keeps us competitive for another year at this level easily. However, the old age problem is that 5 of that starting 11 are out of contract in less than a year, along with promising youngsters Montgomery and Mullarkey-Matthews. The rest who featured apart from Atcheson and De Neve are out of contract a year later.

I commented when he took the catch from the corner, that it’s the first time I’ve seen that from a Rovers keeper in a long time. It takes so much pressure off the defence, so hopefully a sign of things to come.

He probably will but can't read into the GK selection from yesterday given Pears was injured

And what? My sentence had finished.

Beaten by a team containing England's Gennaro Gattuso, Jason Lowe, is no shame....

With all the respect in the world... If he can't make it in league 1 and league 2 he shouldn't be anywhere near playing in a Rovers kit. He's not good enough. He's had multiple chances and not taken them. Someone else deserves a go.

Nice to see Litherland come in and play. He comes highly recommended by regular U21 watchers for his ball-playing abilities. I would also like to see Edmondson given a chance but looks like a loan move might be his best bet at the moment. No Garrett, Duru, Leonard or Vale. Presume, the latter three are injured still? Garrett looks like he's heading out, which I think is a shame as I think he could be a useful utility man. I'm not sure about Montgomery as a defender, though he may well surprise me. Throwing him into an unfamiliar RB role and assuming he can cover the first team brings back memories of Tyler Magloire's right back exploits. That said, Montgomery has done ok so far.

Think everyone is getting a bit carried away after today. It's obviously good that they've put in a performance against a prem side but the championship is a totally different kettle of fish than a meaningless pre season friendly. Reserve your judgement after the first 90 mins of the season. Fingers crossed they over achieve again.

Great result today. Toth our no1 GK again. I reckon he may start the season as no 1 now

The point is I was making was a general point about central defenders around 30 not anybody in particular. I wasn't counting in fact Fans just don't get excited about them. We take them for granted--experienced,reliable and solid---like your favourite overcoat! I think this "discussion" has run its course.

That’s fair. My jokes are worse than your counting.

Just joking again? Give it up.

Humphries and Aspinall both out. Could maybe have predicted that. Their opponents are both terrific young players. If they're on top form you've got a match on your hands.

Usyk was terrific. 38 years old as well. Physically he 's a freak. One of the best of all time I'd say.

You’ve read 47er’s posts then!

Well I’m sooooooooo very sorry you keep getting everybody’s age wrong! Anyway, lighten up, I was only joking. Sheesh!

Are you off your rocker? I've only been on the site for a few minutes! For the point I was making, the exact age doesn't matter. I'm saying a 30 years old centre-back signing doesn't create excitement. I could have put 30+ but does it matter? Go away and annoy someone else

We can all make stuff up

That’s even worse. He’s at least 34. You’ve had an an absolute shocker tonight, and that’s from a guy who thinks ‘on route’ is a thing.

Starting to wonder if Carter can be relied upon at all. Can’t seem to stay fit. Really like the honest stance on Brittian. Vi clearly knows if he’s sold the money disappears so is in no rush to push him out.

Given our spending levels and the calibre of the administration all that's really been proven today is that we're not utter chaotic dross destined to go down. Unless we get a bit of luck, once again we'll be nowhere near those Play Offs! Let's just be grateful given the situation behind the scenes that we're still solvent and able to field a competent, serviceable squad.
