Ha ha just like England thrashing Andorra, oh wait 😂

Were Rovers a small club when you started following or where they bigger than those two ? Were Reading and Bolton small clubs when you started following Rovers ?

Coventry and Ipswich were a PL clubs when I started following Rovers in 1992, They aren't small clubs. They have been poorly run in the past but not small clubs.

Yes he said similar last summer about Travis would be likely sold and same with Dolan. https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36874-the-summer-transfer-window-press-submit/page/169/#findComment-2603013 Lets see what the fee is or see what type of player he is actually cos I take no-one has seen him? Adam Owen has alot of contacts out there plus lets factoring in the scouting knowledge of our 2 senior scouts of Piotr Sadowski and Michael Cairney Is Buckley or JRC players you would bring on to see a lead out or game changers? Did you not think we need to move them on for the sake of their own career and playing regular football

I didn't realize Treasure Island made the quarter finals of the last AFCON and are looking likely to qualify for the next World Cup.

Garret needed a loan in the SPL

every signing we make under this lot is a gamble,we don`t know if they are going to be any good because i doubt the scouting staff do either,we appear to be blind betting imo

Hes not actually been capped I dont think. On Buckley, I always felt like it was a bit of interesting man management by Eustace to make him vice captain. When he was captain it was often for the second string in cup games. Maybe he was trying to get more out of him.

Now Mr Thumbs down if i said that about Coventry and Ipswich a few years ago you'd have had the same reaction.

Forshaw was actually pretty decent in the last third of the season. Getting on a bit though, and I wonder if we lost the legs of Tronstad or Travis Forshaws age and lack of pace would be brutally exposed?

Just my opinion based on the loan spells he's had last season. Neither of those loans could really be viewed as a success, if we are being honest. For what it's worth (which isn't much), I wouldn't have an issue with him sticking around and seeing if he's up to it this season. I think he's contracted until 2027, so still in the clubs hands. I think the club will look to loan him again though

That’s like playing for Treasure Island.

The Human Beinz - Nobody But Me A garage band classic,

he could`nt get a game for two sides that were near the bottom of the lower divisions,thats a kind of a big indication he is`nt good enough for the championship,a shame because when he first broke into our first team he was raw but looked a decent prospect,funny game football,sometimes a player will kick on other times they regress badly

Both those managers got fired, right?

Unfortunately, I don't think they are.

He needs a loan where he actually gets some games but that seems hard to come by perhaps he should go to Barrow !

Buckley is a good technical player who has never figured out how to impose himself on a game. A real shame as talent wise hes got the ingredients but so easily gets passed by. Three Rovers managers and one at Sheffield Weds now have just not trusted him which speaks volumes. Eustace made him deputy captain to try and show faith but he had probably his worst season for us last year. Theres no real reason to think he can turn it around which is sad to say.

Or Bristol Rovers.

Because he wasn’t good enough for Tranmere

Why is Garrett done here?

I dont think Buckley is even a good squad player. If a first teamer is unavailable, you dont feel comfortable with him (or Forshaw) coming in.

I think Garrett and Buckley are done here. I'd throw JRC in as well but his versatility might just keep him about for a body in the squad.

Buckley has had too many chances. He knows what VI expects and if he can get that intensity over pre season he could be a useful player. Even Cantwells work ethic upped a gear towards the end under VI. Sadly even then he won’t break the starting 11 and it’s down to him if he wants to be backup. Rovers better off trying to get a fee
