Leonard will be a good player, no doubt about that. I don't think he's quite ready though. Hedges is decent as a back up but his final ball is a bit wasteful. He's significantly better than Markanday though. Dolan is just woeful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know what else Gilsenen has to do to get a place on the bench. I understand this, but 90 mins for the U21s instead Of 10-15 mins when trying to come back after an injury makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atko's Engine Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Dolan isn't woeful, but he is way out of form. Today is huge for him personally, plays well & he may we still be here next weekend, otherwise I can see him gone with a year left on his deal & now we have Moran for the season. Other than that it's as expected, team picks itself atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Surprised not to see Gallagher in the starting 11, he's had a very good start to the season, must be tactical or baby fatigue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_the_beast Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Not particularly hopeful for today. Only way I can see us getting 3 points is by keeping it tight first half with Gallagher and Moran coming on around the hour mark and making an impact. Front 3 look dire. On a separate note I feel quite sorry for Leonard. He's getting all these minutes at the start of the season, but the attacking players around him offer no service. He's a good finisher, but I can see his playing time becoming more limited once the window shuts and we have a better supporting cast.

sharpysharps86 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Buckley flatters to deceive quite a lot. He appears to be one of those players that has talent but struggles with consistency. He's now behind Wharton, Tronstad, Travis, probably even JRC as an option in midfield. He's 23 now. Very much a now or never season for him. Personally I think he's far too casual in his play to be a top player at this level. For every great pass he plays, there's a really sloppy giveaway that puts us under the cosh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good playing further forward under Mowbray but even though he has the skill set to play deeper, he has been poor there. He seems to by trying to play an 'intelligent' game at his own pace. Hopefully him being dropped is a rocket up his arse and not a sign that he's leaving. There's an excellent championship player in him, but absolutely no consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1864roverite Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Fearing a tough game today and inevitably a defeat. Maybe the owners might take in the game and realise they really need to step up, back the club or just simply fuck off🤬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lraC Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Nerves kicking in now, as even thought it’s early days, a win gets the tails up and it’s let’s crack on time and a defeat, would perhaps be a bad dent to an early season optimism. As usual with Rovers games, the first goal will be crucial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
