Game at Everton behind closed doors this afternoon. Looks like the schedule isn't as odd as first perceived.

Thanks Joe, do you know anything more like team or possible score or not?

Yeah the season will definitely be decimated by isolation and positive tests. Most players may not have had 2 or even 1 vaccine either.

How do you know what players had the vaccine and won't the club sort it out anyway for them

Where is this from? If so, unsure why it is behind closed doors to be honest.

 Well the game is happening. 

Rovers tend to played a few closed doors games in pre season

I saw a link and started watching from 75/80 minutes but turned off soon after, I only recognised Chapman. Unsure if it was predominantly a reserve team we put out or just if our very small pool of senior players had already come off.

maybe not but surely that shouldn't matter should it or are you bothered about watching Armstrong, etc and not players coming through to our 1st tea,

[chaddyrovers]

It looks weak.  Just don't know what you are seeing. Take Armstrong out.

Anyone know if young Bucko is injured?

Plenty of first team experience in that side, it’s certainly not weak or you’d be playing 👍

A strong a side as we have but not a strong side to be heading into a season with. No depth and with no Armstrong no goals.

Well yes, but its piss poor and I'm worried.

Where is Gallagher??

[BlackburnEnd75]

That last half hour team looks very weak. Very little depth. I suppose we are missing dolan gallagher brereton johnson Wharton JRC but it's lacking so much depth.

think he has a knock

[roversfan99]

You would imagine that the back 4 and goalkeeper are the ones that will go into the season, although there is no competition for them, a particular worry considering that Ayala is made of glass.

The midfield and attack are less convincing, Travis is a shoe in, Rothwell maybe, Davenport, Buckley and Butterworth unproven and Armstrong set to leave. No goals in that team aside from Armstrong either. Then that second team is frighteningly young, we need some players in ASAP.

Was just wondering who my starting X1 would be today and I came up with 

Kaminski

Nyambe Lenihan Ayala/Wharton Pickering

Davenport Travis A N Other

Dolan Armstrong Brereton

Not too bad in terms of that particular line up  but I think we desperately need a creative midfielder, I think we'll be screwed if Armstrong goes and todays subs show what a catastrophic mess we're in in terms of the squad.

So we only had one chance to score a goal and Chapman created it. Great, cant wait for him to be frozen out of the squad
