I said similar that Ohashi could get 15 goals this season. Wouldn't surprise if both him and Gudjohnsen did.

At least if these things are uncomfortable for the players to wear, Ismael will have another ready made excuse to add to the list. Will they be in matching caps and long trousers as well?

Well a Barnsley fan on the Roversxtra account has said Gestede and 2 other people from Rovers were at the Barnsley game last night.

On the ball? Yes he's poor. Off the ball/defensively? He's been outstanding. A warrior with a great knack of knowing where to be to sniff out danger. Also physically strong and has a yard of pace.

6th best I think . I think a lot of it stems from the sale of Baath, and then the last minute sale of Hyam. We haven't missed them as much as a lot predicted,if at all. The link to Gibson is a logical one, R99 has been calling for an experienced head. The way we play allows the defence to maybe play every game, whereas the midfield and forwards cover a lot more ground. Regarding Miller, Franco Baresi he ain't, but you can't knock his effort and application, and as you say, he's been part of a defence which is keeping our heads above water.

interesting that. who has been the stand outs for the under 21's this season? should Joseph be in the senior squad as sub striker if Gueye not staying/on bench?

Regardless of these other recently unearthed (and ambiguous) sources Parsons has alluded to, I’m telling you now if that random historical kits website didn’t show a white shirt first in the list of Rovers shirts we wouldn’t be wearing one on NYD.

We have struggled massively in attack and he has missed a fair few also him and gudjohnsen have two thirds of our goal tally now one is out for 5/6 weeks so we need someone to come in ready (not hopeful)

100%. Don't know if this game is on the red button or not but if it is I think I'll be participating in a TV boycott. Might as well send us out in a Burnley home strip.

Because we have literally no goal scoring threat and need to win the next match, he needs a plan B and I just think he doesn’t have many options.

I hope that the appearance of the shirt is greeted with a loud rendition of 'What the frickin hell is that?'. It is NOT a Rovers shirt.

"The shirt we never actually wore"

Tempted to buy it and get the players to sign it then picture framed it and hang it on the Rovers wall in my house.

Seen a couple of calls for Pratt and Litherland to be loaned out. Insanity, they're our two best players at the moment.

Great for Ryan, pleased for him

Why would he start Gueye?

Yes and he’s the best passer of the ball of all the back five.

Great match between Clayton vs Harrysson

Fair enough, I didn't realise he'd scored 7 tbh. It feels like he's had a really poor season in front of goal so far.

Bassey, Oshimen, Chuckweuze normally play for them, all are starting today. Looks like the left back and one of the midfielders also started their last game It may well be a rotated team, but doesn't look completely second string

What minute do we expect him to be stretchered off?

Me too. He’s neat and tidy on the ball but - he isn’t particularly quick like Damien Duff, he’s not very big or aggressive like a Speedie, doesn’t appear to like to run with the ball from centre midfield like a Dunny, doesn’t look to be a goal scoring late runner into the box like a Lampard. He’s not a destructive first time passer like Wharton. I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Arsenal scouts must see something I can’t. Johnny Byrom was scoring hat tricks in the old First Division at his age. I could see what the fuss was all about then. Clubs like Arsenal can afford to hoover up all these “ promising “ kids for peanuts. If one in ten make it they’ll be happy. They’ll just blow the other nine out for various small fees.

Alebiousu starting against Uganda. The names I actually recognise are all on the bench. Looks like the second string being given the chance to impress.

And we had Rhodes and Gestede banging in about 20+ each and didn't even make the playoffs. If Ohashi can get past 12 goals, then especially with his work rate, I'm happy enough with him. It would definitely be a plus to have someone more prolific for when AG is out though.

Yep it was an opinion in the summer given his good first season with no break for him at all. It’s quite feasible at this stage he could get close to 15 it’s also equally feasible he might only grab another 2/3 but to try point score on that half way through a season is a tad silly. More than happy to revisit come May
