v Preston North End (a) - 21/11/25, 8:00pm ko Sky TV

[G Somerset Rover]

I think it was Glen who mentioned in the summer that they were looking to get rid of him due to his high wages. Then came the captaincy which surprised everyone.

But here we are. If he’s still ‘injured’ tomorrow then I think we all know he won’t play again before being shipped off in January. 

Cantwell for Henriksson. Jesus wept.

In the middle of a relegation battle and possibly looking at offloading one of our best Players?

Its a fookin madhouse.

 

Our best player. By far.

[Ghost7]

It does feel like we won't be seeing any players of Cantwell's calibre at the club for a long long time once he is gone.

Silly question. I can add the tickets to my google wallet and they show as a barcoded ticket.

However the delivery method states "Print at Home" and the ticket attachment which is a "print at home" ticket says "Please ensure all tickets are printed"

Last time I went to Preston it was with printed tickets.

I presume you can enter the ground 'digitally' with your phone?

Could be a payment to Rangers after so many appearances

Very likely. 

Remember this deal dragged on for a while when we signed him. We paid nothing at all up front and it was all based around him hitting certain numbers and a hefty sell on clause.

Knowing this regime, I think it's something as simple as they didn't know back in the summer and all of a sudden in the last 6 weeks or so somebody has cottoned on that we're coming close to this being an issue.

All too familiar with things like that happening here.

I'm not saying it couldn't be the reason but seems unlikely in this instance to me.

Why would Cantwell and his agent be keeping quiet about this?

When he left Rangers there wasn't a queue of clubs waiting to sign him and that's why he ended up here.

Last season was his form any better than when he was at Rangers?Not really imo .He started this season well but I still don't think he would have a massive amount of interest currently

I don't know for certain but as I don't have a printer we will using the digital ticket to access the ground. Presumably they will scan the printed ticket at the turnstiles so I don't see any difference.

It seems pointless to issue digital tickets if you are mandated to print them off assuming Nobbers use the same environmental excuse as Rovers.

Also goin with digital from the wallet. Can't expect us to get in with a print off that'll have the same code on

I'm positive he could walk into a contract paying him a lot more money than he's on here.

The club read your mind/post 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Sold out now?

[Mattyblue]

Think there were a few dozen left in that camera side end block when they went off sale at 12pm… the other end block never went on sale.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Again,shows the support is there....just need this Club to stop being Lions led by utter Donkeys.

[MarkBRFC]

According to Ismael....

Hayden Carter has suffered a new injury and will be out for a while.

Cantwell still not "ready".

What a shocker.

Why didn't it happen when he was leaving Rangers?

It's getting to the point with me that I'd cut my losses with Carter and get rid of him. I rate him as a player but his unreliability supersedes that by a country mile. It's almost like a competition between him and Wharton to see who can be unavailable the most. 😁

But somewhere inside me I wonder if the managers cryptic comments about Carter are rankling with him.

Expect Mr Aloof then to play Hedges as a left sided centre back as he is more equipped (using Mr Aloofs Derby rationale) to deal with Nobbers aeriel threat.

I feel it's going to be a long night.

That's Cantwell off, as many of us suspected.

As for Carter, f*ck me. We've finally found a player who surpasses Grella as an all timer sicknote.

But final mention to the masterminds that are Venkys, Pasha and Rudy. The decision to sell Hyam on the final day of the window without bringing in a replacement. I'm just speechless.

What about Baradji? 

On bench? Starting? Captain?

He took a pay cut to come to us. He's played alright in the Championship for a season or so.

I don't think there's any doubt some club would offer him more money than we're paying.

[Mattyblue]

Just not a serious football club… yet they expect fans to cough up as if it was one.

FFS. No surprise on Carter but I thought we might get at least a handful of games out of him as he made the bench for the Derby game. Managed to pick up what must be at least a reasonably serious injury, as he has no return timeframe, during the 2 week international break. The lad is made of glass.

We are constantly reminded of why every Rovers fan though the last minute sale of Hyam was a disaster wating to happen and here we are with just 2 fit centre backs vying for 3 places. 

Abysmal planning. Truly abysmal. 

He'd better not be sticking Hedges at fucking centre back again, blokes a clown (Ismael)

Baradji is "in contention" apparently.
