Those awards auger well for next season when Batty can hopefully become a regular squad member and given opportunities to play.

For who? You don't mean us do you? I don't think an injury-hit season in League Two is going to get him in the squad here, at least when Pickering and Ribeiro are fit. Think it would be more beneficial for him to have another loan, at least til January.

The caveat which I mentioned was keeping fit.

I believe he can become Championship standard if he is given the opportunity. He should get chances to impress in pre season and if Ismael doesn't think he's up to it then he will move on, perhaps permanently.

He has to sign a new contract first, as things stand he's a free agent end of next month.

I hadn't realised that.

That clearly puts a different perspective on it particularly with Brandon Powell signing a new deal.

No surprise here, but for the sake of completeness

 

Not involved in matchday squad today

Vale - drew 1-1 - currently injured - finished 2nd in the "relegation" group

 

 

Rovers are also currently looking for a new loan manager.  This role was (at least partially) covered by Stuart Jones this season just gone, although he has now left the club

Last of these for this season, seeing as technically Markanday is still our player until his contract expires at the end of June.  Although this game should also give us the chance to stare longingly at Thierry Small, who starts for Charlton, before he inevitably signs for someone else later this summer 😉 

 

On the bench today

Markanday - score/update - game on Sky Sports Football - 1:01pm kick off
