It’s verging on cruelty now. You know when you’ve had a bad game as a player. He must feel like shit every Saturday night.

Our recruitment strategy is now to fire Rovers shirts into the crowd. Just watching them do it in front of the BBE. If you catch one they'll unveil you at half time and you can be captain next weekend.

What does it say?

I'm old school in this respect. You're being paid by us so put the fucking shirt on and play. Needs to have his wages docked and I don't care if his feelings got hurt over the quality of the contract offered/ not offered.to him.

He'll be feeling the pressure shortly - they've backed him with A LOT of money.

Yep. If you’re going to lead just by example you‘ve got to be outstanding most of the time.

He's not a leader. Barely communicates.

As I mentioned with Batty last week. Duru is 20 years old, far too young to be written off, so a loan move or 2 would make sense. In which case, having 2 other right backs is the sensible thing to do. Especially considering when if one of them performs to a decent level, then he will be sold as soon as a close to acceptable bid is received However at the current time, Rovers are selling off anyone rather than offering new contracts, so sense does not come into it

I only saw in once at that egg cup game at Rochdale. From what I’d heard I expected a lot more. People were talking like he was the second coming of Alan Wright etc. He was hardly involved in a game he should have shone in and he looked a bit on the small side to me.

With that result maybe JE will get a bigger bid for Travis.

Sad to see Travis has refused to play. He's really blotted his copy book here. Clearly chatting to Eustace behind the scenes. Paper tiger, paper captain.

Sanderson too.

Nyambe as a wing back ? Great defender but he hasn’t got a creative bone in his body.

Hedges…. again. Another game with zero offensive production awaits.

Fucking Hedges... Why? WHY?

He struggled as captain in his previous stint when JDT gave him the armband. Don't recall him ever wearing it since. Don't think he wants the pressure of it.

They brought in two RBs (unless the long term plan is to shift Miller to CB) so they clearly don't fancy Duru. I didn't think he looked out of place when he ran out for us last year and the Barrow fans seemed to like him - but what do I know?

Hyam is either not considered captaincy material or is now semi detached because of his contract situation.

King JE on a roll.

Maybe I was hasty, wishing we had at least two of our former four players back (Sanderson, Batth, Nyambe, Weimann)

Batth and Sanderson starting in a defensive 3 that's conceded 5. Combine that with the 3 away at Stoke and looks like Eustace has a bit of defensive work to do. Where's that Agyemang that they signed from the MLS? Injured?

Bath and Sanderson having a stormer against Coventry 😂

Baath subbed off after the fifth went in.
