Well done and thanks glen9mullen.

See glen9mullan post 0n 296

but surely you can tell us a bit more simon.

Surely he as some input. I saw it as he was avoiding any leading questions but he's as concerned as we are IMO with warmup games ending this week.

It time someone from the club puts out a statement because even if we did sign someone this week (🤣) he's not going to be in starting 11 v QPR. But now Nyambe to Wigan? Can't get my head round that.

Good workout. Taken apart in first half but if we come away from Celtic with a 2 2 draw then there's something there to build on in the next two weeks.

Wanted to carry on according to LT but he's been taken off as a precaution.

Hot day in Accy and first game was typical Rovers with no shots that would worry anyone and two embarrassing free kicks that may have worked on training ground. Markanday is class. Quick and has a few touches that will deceive opposition. Brown & Magloire don't fit into this team. Diaz & Gally worked hard but they need better service.

Give him time. His method was always to assess first. Frustrating I know.

Ignoring the three players that have left the club and the young player friendly with Dolan whose joined from Preston, have I missed anything?

Club will miss out on start of seaon preperation. Transfer window ends thursday 1st Sept 2022. By that date we will have played 13 games, 7 of which are Championship league games. Any players coming in next week will miss Accy Stanley and possibly Dundee & Celtic in preparation for new season.

But what about his wages?

No doubt this was spelt out to both of our new recruits during their interviews.

Add to the positives: - Venkys knew we were going no where on TM journey so they are up from trying something new. If this is true then your third point in the downside (absence of flights) may prove to be a positive. Venkys have hopefully taken advice in this and should/could change their ways and give more decision making authority to the new regime. Surely not a case of two steps forward and three steps backwards. Just trying to remain positive.

Recall 1875 members being further up the queue for when buying away tickets & ST holders could buy a matchday upgrade to premier suite which would include a 3 course meal and free drink. Is this the "matchday ticket discount" that they refer too??

Taking 28 man squad makes sense. New start, show JDT what they can do. Also good to see BBD has joined even though he only got back from international duty on Thursday - commitment - but will he still be with us by time we play Accy??

Different plug points for electric shavers over here 🤣

But if we use more wage budget to keep one player at club it restricts new management team. Hard to accept but we have to support new regime judgement on new players.

He is a limited player with injurries, full games and maybe attitudes. New management needs it's own team.

Crazy worth more imo. Maybe there's add ons but sounds a good deal for Newcastle.

Be midnight before leaving car park at Blackpool. They operate poor car park management and the long road in doesn't help.

Fixtures anyone??

Key Dates: - Fixtures out 23-06-22 - Season starts 30-07-22 - World Cup pause 12-11-22 to 10-12-22 despite final on 18-12-22 - Season ends 06-05-23 - Play off (Monday) 29-05-2023

Will Travis be captain? The new regime will use their powers and skills to appoint a captain and build the team around him but its their choice. As committed to Rovers as Travis is I don't think he's bullish enough to get the best out of others and apply team management issues on the pitch.

Too early we don't know the team or the style of football. At the start of 2021-22 many, including me, thought it would end in religation so 8th wasn't bad. Just don't want to recall what happened in 8 or 9 games after December 2021.
