If they aren't injured/fatigued from international duties.

Did someone say?

Same. Some nice touches but Iceland look a poor side. 1-0 up as I wrote that so could be more openings in the second half.

That's what I'd go for. Tavares scares me. Hedges deserves to retain his place and Gudjohnson seems like the type who might thrive in being thrown straight in.

Gallagher paced, perhaps. Doesn't look quick.

Not even a pinch, the page is 100% bullshit...Only page on ax to take any kind of notice is RoversXtra.

Currently watching the Iceland game. Gudjohnsson very isolated, and not looked great so far, he does look quick & athletic though. Its an awful match so far.

You're right, it's not pretty is it.. So back four Toth Ribiero Aliesou Carter Wharton Trondstadt Henrikson (Looks shit but I really don't like Tavares) Hedges Cantwell Morishita Gudjohnson

That Rovers Paper has said we are looking at bringing in Elliott Moore. Pinch of 🧂

I'm obviously on record as thinking he's a very useful player - he HAS to start though and we have to start playing to his strengths (crosses into the box - a novel idea). If he's unhappy he'll be off though - as suicidal as that is to shift him on, I can see him being a very difficult character around the building if he's unhappy. He's a big personality.

I take back everything I’ve said about the model. Great model this - close to 12 mill in transfer income. Also - getting rid of 2/3 of the starting 11 every summer is probably wise, get the prima donnas out I say. F**k continuity👍

Maybe you already know but these threads should help. https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36673-venky%E2%80%99s-v-indian-government-a-12112025-if-a-ref-can-be-secured/ https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36789-venky%E2%80%99s-suhail-out-protest-ideas/

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Mea culpa -I'll get back to you. 🙂

We have 3 CBs, we simply do not have the option of playing 3 at the back. We've hamstrung ourselves. Can't see a win at Watford. Maybe a draw.

He is shite. But mental to get rid outside our window

The lights are on, but no-one is at home.

We aren't winning this one either GK: Toth DC: Carter DC: Wharton DC: Miller LWB: Morishita RWB: Alesiou MC: Trondstadt MC: Cantwell MC: Anyone other than Tavares ST: Ohashi ST: Gudjohnsen I wonder if Hedges could do a job in the middle?

ok, how about this one then? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68301522 It is obviously newsworthy, any attempt to pretend it is not, is misguided It can also be spin, and probably is... member Rudy & Jordan playing up front together? But still newsworthy nonetheless

With transfer window now closed, I decided to summarize our activities this 'exciting' summer: Ins: Gudjohnsen - £ 1.9 million Morishita - £ 1.8 million Tavares - £ 1.7 million Henriksson - £ 750 K Miller - £ 750 K De Neve - £ 650 K Alebiosu - £ 500 K McLoughlin - £ 500 K Baradji - Loan Gardner-Hickman - Loan Total transfer expenditure: £ 8.55 million Outs: Hyam - £ 2.7 million Buckley - £ 1 million JRC - £ 750 K Travis - £ 3 million (reportedly) Brittain - £ 3.5 million (reportedly) Leonard - £ 1 million (reportedly) Dolan, Batth, Weimann, Markanday - all free transfers Total transfer income: £ 11.95 million Balance: + £ 3.4 million As usual, the owners refuse to put any money into the transfer budget, hence our dependency on selling players for a fee and getting rid of wages before making any purchases. Number of minutes in Championship from season 2024-25 added to the squad: 3 215 (1 player) Number of minutes in Championship from season 2024-25 removed from the squad: 19 870 (9 players) Stats comparison on incomings from season 2024-25 (sources: fotmob.com, globalfootballrankings.com). Anything below 6.5 is considered below average for the league: Gudjohnsen: 6.5 (32 matches / 1 515 minutes). League ranking (UEFA): 6 Morishita: 7.0 (31 matches / 2 371 minutes). League ranking (UEFA): 9 Tavares: 6.4 (29 matches / 1293 minutes). League ranking (UEFA): 8 Henriksson (2024): 7.1 (26 matches / 1 574 minutes).

League ranking (UEFA): 18 Stats comparison on outgoings from season 2024-25 (source: fotmob.com): Hyam: 7.0 (46 matches / 4 140 minutes). Note: played every single minute last season Buckley: 6.7 (23 matches / 847 minutes) JRC: 6.6 (29 matches / 1 237 minutes) Travis: 7.0 (38 matches / 3 225 minutes) Brittain: 7.2 (33 matches / 2 659 minutes) Leonard: 6.1 (9 matches / 140 minutes) Dolan: 7.0 (44 matches / 3 202 minutes) Batth: 7.0 (37 matches / 3 011 minutes) Weimann: 6.7 (30 matches / 1 409 minutes) Notable players who performed mostly well last season and contributed to our seventh-placed finish: Hyam, Travis, Brittain, Dolan and Batth. Regarding the incomings, one could argue that based on above stats, players like McLoughlin and Morishita are most likely to perform well given their relative high ratings (7.0) while playing in a top ten league in Europe. Players like Gudjohnsen, Tavares and De Neve are gambles given they didn't show anything last season. Baradji, Henriksson, Alebiosu and Miller performed well but in lower-ranked leagues and are thus question marks as to whether they can make the step up to Championship. Alebiosu looks good so far at least despite lacking a bit of an end product when compared to Brittain. Summary: club is taking a gamble on foreign players to replace a vast amount of Championship experience. We have lost our entire back four from last season (Beck included) which poses a big risk defensively. Team will probably struggle to find any rhythm at the beginning and it will take some time to integrate all players, getting them accustomed to the tactics and adapt to the league. By the looks of it, we're gonna need to win some matches the 'ugly' way to make sure we aren't dragged into a relegation fight this season.

Except these news could be interesting since it’s a player at the club retiring and taking up a new role. In Rovers case it was obly about the role. For me, seeing Gestede shaking hands with Rhodes just feels like spin—trying to frame it as some kind of partnership reunion. But hey, if others find that news exciting, who am I to say its not. Just my opinion.

Possible live stream of Iceland game, Gudjohnsen starts http://www.fawanews.sc/Iceland vs Azerbaijan.html

He will get games - remember Adam didn’t play for the most of the first part of the season - the coaches won’t just play tyjon for the sake of it but the clubs plan is to sell our youth and to do that they need some games so he will just give it time
