I heard he's an absolute Munster.

Not sure that is Covid compliant.

Saw this comment on the Bournemouth forum: Wilson was a player who was rarely played in his best position while at AFCB. Almost always played out wide when he should have been tucked in behind the forwards in a more central role. He scored 15 goals for Derby in the Championship playing in that role and most of the ones he got with us (7 in total) were when he came inside. He also scored 7 in 11 games at Hull the season before in the same role. Sounds like he's better in the Dack role than out wide.

Also, surely not a chance we'd get Harry Wilson. He was playing regular Premier League football last season, surely we would be seen as a backward step.

Is Ronaldinho out of prison yet?

Maybe he's signing Pears in case Dolan or Gallagher get injured? We know he likes playing people on the right wing, who are not right winger.

Completely agree. Never seen someone so far off the pace.

John Ruddy never played for Sheffield United - so not him.

I completely agree with this bit.

Were we not chasing promotion when we bought Rhodes?

Why would they not? There's been a few decent winners of the League 1 Player of the Year award over the years.... Dack (2018 and 2016) Ritchie (2013) Rhodes (2012) Just because he's in league 1 doesn't mean he wouldn't improve a decent Championship side.

It was a full 6 years later when we signed him. But you're right, he was awful. I might be way off with this, but I'm sure his first appearance in Rovers colours was at a reserve game at Deepdale that I went to with my dad. Seemed to remember James Beattie scoring all 4 in a 4-0 win, playing upfront with Per Pedersen. This is all from memory though.

We'll be more likely to sign his brother on a free from BAE.

On the plus side, Lionel Messi's brother works in Spar at Mill Hill and he says that Messi is joining us in January.

Please can you point out these 6 out of 7 wins that he was a big part of? Best run I can find is 6 wins in 8 - and he only played in 4 of those.

They also gave the following update: October 2020 update Still at Slavia but played only six league games during 2019-20 so his progress seems to have stalled.

Can you imagine the uproar on here if he had been dropped for Gallagher? Why rest him just before the international break?

I'm sure there is some poor quality footage of the Crewe game on Youtube and I've watched it back and wondered how he's kept half of the ones out that he did. A lot of luck involved as well.

I remember it well! Jason Kearton with the most incredible goal keeping performance I've ever seen. We could have played all night and not scored. Was it Cramb who got the winner for them?

..and he ended up joining Real Salt Lake City and then Bradford. I believe he's without a club now.

I remember some of our fans (not on here) insisting he would be a 30 goal a season striker in the Premier League, despite the fact they are very, very few and far between now.

Good call!!

Did you phone him before the 4th went in?

Thought this was interesting analysis by a Derby County fan on Rovers team (taken from the Derby County match thread). You can see how far up the full-backs are pushing, with Johnson (4) sitting very deep. Dolan (39) was out most advanced player on average. Brereton (20) was deeper on average than JRC (24)!! It's no wonder he doesn't score many - he's not going to playing quite that deep. Rothwell and Holtby were both more advance on average.

That's incredible depth! Good analysis.
