Id take Callum Wilson or Dominic Calvert lewin on a free... Oh wait, we couldn't afford their wages. Is jack vale still available?!

Agree. There aren't enough staff in the club to cope with a tour logistics and signing players.

You’re right on reflection, I’m being an arsehole, my apologies.

I’m confused. Why’s the Italy ‘keeper stopped flopping to the floor whenever she catches the ball?

Another good night of Darts..great for the neutrals

Category A then … for the mighty Birmingham. Obviously they expect them to fetch plenty so it’s priced as that, feck trying to attract a good home turnout for the opening Ewood fixture.

Maybe someone who can play up front or wide right

Someone as a more direct alternative to Ohashi. Gueye can be an impact sub if needed.

Let's not piss about haggling on the A tier loans and missing out. Let's get the B+s rather than argue the toss and end up with the B-s

You love to see it. Play acting from minute one and camped in their own box. Got what they deserved.

Difficult to bring in a CF when you have Gueye and Ohashi - PL teams won't loan you their best if they're third in the pecking order and you don't really want to buy a backup.

Need a striker too. Moreso than a central midfielder IMO but I would like both. Hopefully its not just loans from here on in. Maybe one or two at a push. Definitely should buy a new right winger.

The girl that scored should have on 15 minutes sooner,

Came back to haunt them though 🙃

One thing I'll say for Tyjon - he's more decisive with the ball. Cantwell loves a fancy flick and trick, often to his detriment. Tyjon gets it under control and drives towards goal.

By saying they’re a ‘Strokes tribute band’, just proves how little of their music you’ve heard or actively listened to. Don’t just give into nostalgia and sentiment. I thought you were better than ‘it’s better because it was my era’. They’re absolutely nothing like Kneecap, only similarity is that they come from the Island of Ireland. Think on.

No, you quoted the bit that allowed you to invent a scenario where the intensity of the player search had reduced. The reality is they are ‘working hard behind the scenes’ and ‘want more players’, but you didn’t quote that. There will be plenty of negative stuff to get your teeth into as the season progresses, you don’t need to invent any!😉

Surely it's the opposite - there's no more hiding from the problem in structured training sessions. We have a glaring need at RW, CM (there's not enough depth) and CB. Tyjon is a nice surprise, but you'd like another in that 3 behind the CF for the inevitable Cantwell injury. They'll probably fill those positions with loans at this stage - it's what they usually do.

I find that crazy considering you are basing it on a couple of friendlies in which Cantwell played twice as long in and stood out, but there you go. But the Mcloughlin one. Had you said underwhelming or something similar, it might not have been as shocking. But to say terrible, I was hoping for a bit more reasoning just for the sake of discussion.

So the Brittain was set to join Derby was fake news as Ismael said post game. Good. Stop drinking the beer lad cos you are talking utter bullshit, I have always said Shearer was my favourite ever Rovers player and always was. He was my hero when I was growing up. Others favourite players but just behind Shearer are Mark Atkins, Tugay, Matt Jansen, Brad Freidel, Ryan Nelsen, Roque Santa Cruz and Craig Conway. Cantwell was the best player on the pitch against Everton

Beauty of opinions eh. I just have been more impressed by Tyjon than I have Cantwell when I compare like for like in a Rovers shirt.

It’s incredible how much more frequently cramp occurs when your team is winning.

No I didn't, I just said that I hope that urgency hasnt reduced. What you are suggesting wouldnt even be "negative" from me but youve made a massive deal out of it. Havent been negative about any of our signings, suggested a few of our players could have better seasons for various reasons, but suppose its a hard tag to shake though especially when one or two like yourself seem intent on policing it.

I think its a crazy thing to say even from the 2 friendlies. Cantwell started them both and was arguably our best player in both. He didnt have a very good first season overall but he had 2 spells (right near the end and one before Christmas) where he did well. In competitive games. He has obviously done more in a Rovers shirt than Tyjon who has barely worn one at senior level. Im not on about today with McLoughlin. He had that one mix up together with Ribeiro but otherwise he was fine. But you said he was a terrible signing when he hadnt been confirmed. I asked why you think that but for whatever reason you ignored it. Terrible is a strong word so I wanted some clarity on why you felt so strongly.

He should give Parker a crack at the title. He's already beaten all the others. I hope he doesn't fight that fat oaf again, what a waste that would be.
