No they haven't to be fair, seems to be silence on his fitness status. The only thing we have is from Nixon who said at the time of this signing that he was going for his op and will be out "a few weeks".

I think its very unfair to call Eustace's results lucky. When you are repeatedly winning games often to nil it isnt luck. Im not convinced that weve been very attacking under Ismael. In the first 2 games we created very few chances and we didnt create any more under him last season.

Or even word escaping from Brockhall in July that was Tavaeres was a horribly useless signing...

Royoya, oh, oh, oh, oh. Royoya, oh, oh, oh, oh. He came from Warsaw. He always score a goal. Royoya, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Might’ve missed it but have Rovers or EJ confirmed Baradji is currently unfit?

Give him time, don't judge the newcomers on 3 matches.

Terrifying that this game doesn't make the cut for the past encounters table: Even more terrifying that Chris Sutton was playing central defence for Norwich And that Rovers replaced Norwich at the top of the Premier League table at 5 o-clock that afternoon.

We've finally strengthened our attack, by signing Morishita. It could turn into a fruitful partnership, two Japanese strikers, Ohashi and Morishita. Baradji will miss the 1st game, but could be fit after the international break.

And ?

Something like this is what the last ESC spot should have been used for, a potential game changer, Not someone who will probably take until Christmas to get up and running. If we were creative surely we could have signed Baradji, sent him for his op while keeping him on loan at his current club until January, he then would have been fit and raring to go as a January signing.

For me right now I prefer Ismaël. Why? Eustace was for the here and now, yes it worked to a degree, yes you earn your luck but I felt he had some lucky wins last season. Ismaël is looking to play a more attacking style with players of a better age, Ok we've lost Dolan but we've brought in money with other sales and replaced with players with good potential ceilings. Building for the future.

We know Suhail has been here from the start of this nightmare. Anyone know what connection Gestede and Adam Owen might have with Steve Kean?..

Don't know anything about Baradaj or Morishita but from reading their backgrounds sound a lot more about them than the other unknowns that have come in. Anyone who brings goals and assists is an improvement on what we have today!

Well Tronstad has turned 30 today, so they are likely looking at getting rid in the last week of the window!

Tell you what, I really like Slot, his post match interviews are quite interesting to listen to.

The Guess Who - These Eyes

Technically also Barrett, Pratt & Garrett, but they are all unlikely to be registered. So think 21 is correct

Elton John - I Guess That’s Why they Call It The Blues

Reckon its at 21 for now, plus 3 youth in Michalski, Tyjon and Montgomery. More importantly perhaps all 4 ESC slots are used. 1 - Toth (ESC) Youth - Michalski 2 - Alebiosu 3 - Miller Youth - Montgomery 4 - Hyam 5 - Wharton 6 - Carter 7 - McLoughlan 8 - Ribeiro 9 - Pickering 10 - Tronstad (for now, I think we may be looking to offload if they want another CM) 11 - Tavares 12 - Baradji (ESC) 13 - Forshaw 14 - Henriksson (ESC) 15 - Cantwell Youth - Tyjon 16 - Hedges 17 - Kargbo (ESC) 18 - De Neve 19 - Morishita 20 - Ohashi 21 - Gueye Not going to include Buckley, Pears or Leonard since they seem the most likely to leave. Leaves space for a back-up goalie hopefully, another striker and a couple more if they really want. (Happy to amend if any info is not correct) Edit 1* - Garrett, Barrett and Pratt would need registered if they are to be part of first team; hopefully not..

Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues

They could technically sign him without an ESC and loan him back to his current club (or another European club) until January when Toth can be converted to a standard GBE freeing up an ESC slot Not that I think that will happen, just that it could be done Edit - this next bit is probably one for Wilsden, although if anyone else has an idea on this then feel free to chime in Would it be possible to sign a player without an ESC and loan them to a Championship club who does have an ESC slot (Sheff Wed for instance who are crying out for players) until january/for the season, until they qualify for a GBE? I cant see a reason why not, but wonder if I am missing something

I suspect he will play on the right, but maybe Ismael is happy to have Kargbo and Hedges as the right wingers? Kargbo played well there versus Hull and before that game Hedges had usually been better on the right too.

That's a good shout that. Going for the real 1950's style.

Eddie Holman - Hey There Lonely Girl

No we haven't. Shame - as out of the players linked up top, he looks a good profile for what we want.
