We went to this one last year - Rovers were unlucky to lose to a debatable penalty - and are thinking about it again But really what is the point? The team is weaker than last season, the manager looks like he is a dud, and the thought of another long journey home after another depressing defeat is too awful to contemplate Life is short and some of us haven’t long left. Time is better spent tidying up the garden, doing the chores, watching some local cricket, than supporting a bunch of no hopers. For a lifelong fan, I never thought it would come to this

Conservative estimate, that....

The laughable thing is , we know see Suhail stepping in and apparently stopping the Leonard transfer to Posh, as he wanted anther £200k. From what I am told, Gestede agreed it at £1m and Pasha blocked it. What a pity he didn't do something similar with Wharton, which is telling, given that he admitted, he didn't know how good, he was going to be.

but, but the pathways!!!!!

Fingers crossed the lads on duty come back unscathed

Looking at wharton's injury record maybe 18 million wasn't that bad. He's done the same injury he did last season apparently

A mixed bag of results there. Recent form suggests a draw or loss. Hoping Mori can start this one and see how long he can play for

Less. Less. More.

I don't imagine the club would divulge information like that in a public domain. But that being said, I don't think I've ever seen an official club photo where a cap is being worn by a player on every available image.

My prediction for the day: 1 signing 2 sales 32 interactions between Chaddy and RF99

If the rumoured fees are to be believed - not certain it has been cheap. Totally agree on the gamble bit though - Gestede and VI (and our season) will hinge on whether these gambles pay off or not - as there isn't enough experience in what remains of last year's team to keep us out of trouble if they don't at least partially pay off.

No way are we buying 2 players in the next 10 hours. Id love to be wrong. Also, to rip up Pears' contract would just be pouring money down the drain. Have him as number 2.

Agree and as much as pears started strong last year he's too unreliable for me. Silly mistakes, head in hands clearances, certainly had us peeping through our fingers at times.

Prediction: In: none ('we tried') Out: Batty, Pears, Leonard Overall: 5/10 window. We are not stronger than before it started and are desperately light on Championship experience. Some interesting signings but we are in for a tough, tough season

Expect a forward and centre midfielder in. Don't expect loans in. Think Pears contract will be terminate before the deadline. Leonard to Peterborough, Batty on loan, a couple of young players go out on loan. Something has clearly happened behind the scenes here and why he hasnt feature at all. Was that Hair Transplant story about Pears true?

Yea 🤣

but it may save a few quid 😉

More direct football in lge 1 more physical stuff in the box so he'd need a very good defence in front of him. Everything else i agree he should be fine though i'd never rate him as good in the Champ he's bang average but a good number 2. If he stays he should be put back on the bench it makes no sense having a rookie on there whilst paying Pears probably 5 times as much for nothing. As others have said if he goes and we find ourselves in a relegation scrap with only the rookie as cover it's one of the stupidest things that's gone on at this club and that really is saying something.

Pathetic if we don't sign anyone a decent centre mid is a must.Taveres hasnt been great and looks like he can't last more than 60 minutes and they don't know when Baradji will be fit to play This has been a shite window, ripping apart the team that finished 7th and nothing but cheap gambles as replacements Gestede ,Owen, Pasha and Venkys out

When we did get £15m to spend on the 3 strikers, the squad we had before was one that had dropped into League 1, having been totally wiped out in the summer leading to relegation. So even that money wasnt enough to build that to a squad to get us promoted. But had Tomasson been given reasonable money on top of that, and had Venkys not repeatedly denied us the chance of selling and reinvesting, then the platform was there. But Venkys didnt seem arsed about pushing on, quite the opposite.

Im not sure hes a good Championship keeper. But hes reasonable back up. Ismael seems to be cutting his nose off to spite his face.

I just can't see it I'm sorry.

They gave that plodder 12 million quid to spunk on Brereton and Gallagher alone. If they'd have given that kind of money to JDT we'd have finished in the automatics.

The Pears thing is strange, despite the stick he gets in here he's a good championship keeper, in league 1 he'd easily be one of the best if he was prepared to drop.
