Was he really good enough or just for academy minutes ?

He was very, very highly rated here. He was our youngest ever debutant and attracted Prem clubs, he wasn't playing just to put out some academy minutes but because we saw him as having a bright future with us.

That 1 minute at the end of a cup game was definitely primarily a play to get more money at tribunal.

How could anyone have seen if he had potential to be any good ?🤣

He was in our senior squad at 16. He's moved backwards. The only 'right thing' about it is for his short term pay packet.

Doesn't matter.

There is no future here, as the senior players are showing.

He did the right thing getting away from here, bonus that he managed it before really playing a game.

Nope, although I suppose its possible he may be with U21s on Monday?   Especially if rumours are true that Mafoumbi has now been released

New convoluted rules for PL2

Participating clubs are divided into six seeding pots of five teams, based on performances over the previous three seasons. Fixtures are then determined by a draw made according to clubs’ positions in the six seeded pots. 

Across the 20 matchweeks, teams play each club in their own seeding pot once, as well as three or four teams from all other pots, either home or away.

Results generate a combined table ranking the 29 teams, with the top 16 teams qualifying for the elimination play-offs, where teams are drawn against each other based on their final league positions.

In a change for 2025-26, the eight Premier League 2 teams finishing in positions from 17th to 24th will go into a new, cross-category play-off competition, along with the top eight teams from the Professional Development League (Category 2).

Does whoever is updating the Rovers twitter account not know who our own players are?

That sounds unfortunate, but typical for this week
