G Somerset Rover

Sam Gallagher RW masterclass incoming.

RE your earlier post, that’s not really his game though. He’s not someone like Rothwell who runs with the ball from one end to the other. Yes we need him producing more telling passes though.

Was always going to be a hugely tough game. Bump back down to earth today I fear. Always the Rovers way.

Two of those will be in the back four all season. Nyambe and Lenihan are good enough for a top 6 challenge. Great to see Buckley starting - big game for him today.

Not a chance that Douglas will start ahead of Bell. COYB, huge game today.

With Grabban and Lyle Taylor in their ranks too. Big job keeping the former quiet today - one of the divisions best.

Famous last words my man! Whilst I would start Dolan, imagine the full back’s faces if we ever throw on Dolan and Elliot at the same time after 60/70 mins.

Watched the game. They were absolutely toothless. Felt like they could have played til next Christmas and not scored. Concerning times for them. Looking at everyone’s business and IMO Swansea have done some decent stuff, despite selling Rodon to Spurs. Not convinced by Palmer as anything other than a squad man, but some other great buys there including Manning and Ryan Bennett. They’ll be there or there abouts.

Not confirmed, but going to be. Guess that means he can’t play tomorrow at least.

Forest got Grosicki too. Hopefully neither play against us tomorrow.

I read somewhere that they essentially offered us Elliot or Wilson. Guessing finances dictated who we went for, but as you say, great to have that relationship!

Complimented Mrs M on her lemon drizzle so I heard.

That’s a huge miss with Holtby out too, if so.

I did fear we were one attacking option light this season; our bench testified to that in the matches played so far this season. Elliot will rectify that. COYB, 3 points tomorrow and it'll be full steam ahead.

Rev. He would. He is quality.

Harvey Elliot would be an unreal signing. Jesus Christ, what is going on?!

That'll be the team, minus Douglas for Bell. Not a chance TM will be that bold quite yet.

A 6’2+ wideman? Never say never.

On the wing is the only time Gally does win any headers. Trouble is they're usually onto nobody! He's terrible in the box with his sweed too.

Forest trying to get Knockaert over the line - hopefully not in time for Saturdays match.

That Norwich lad is meant to be injury prone. He’ll fit right in if it’s him.

Got to be Buckley in the Holtby role. He deserves a crack in his absence. Evans will probably be out with a sniffle or something tomorrow anyway.

Agreed. I commented the other day that I'd start Buckley in home matches (alongside Holtby). Hopefully he produces.

Holtby not around for Saturday, will be a huge miss.

Probably already been posted, but Bennett’s out injured for a while according to TM’s presser this morning.
