Darwen Rover 007

Would have liked a perm CB if I'm honest, although that may still happen, let's see and suppose it gives the guys coming through less barriers

Thoroughly enjoyed watching our young guns shoot our slightly frail opponents down tonight.. Special mention has to go to our manager, like day and night, compared to our previous manager, set our youngsters / 2nd team up fantastically well.. not just tactics, fitness but mindset and this is where I think JDT is nailing it.. we were 4-0 up and we still had players busting a gut! That would never have happened with Mogga! Anyway my opinion on the players.. Pears - 6 not much to do, did he almost flap the only save he had to make or was it a god save, I'm undecided.. have to say if Kaminski is out for a period of time, I think we are in trouble. JRC - 6 did well in spells, but too many mistakes in my view. Phillips - 7 looks classy and silky on the ball, don't think was really tested and definitely not MoM? C Wharton - 7.5 solid as ever Edun - 7.5 looked and played very well today Morton - 7.5 looked a very classy player, good tackles and good on the ball A Wharton - 8.5 looks so assured on the ball, we have a serious player here potentially definitely my MoM Markanday - 6.5 looked very good in spells, seemed to lack confidence made too many mistakes in my opinion Dack - 7.5 always adds class and played very well Dolan - 7.5 full of endeavour whilst capable of some tricky skills played very well Vale - 7 thought he did ok, works hard, but needs to be more than he is right now, almost always second best to defenders Anyway overall great win and thoroughly enjoyed watching OUR team!!

Any news on a new CB? JVPH must be impressed with our start, granted its only two games in!

Debatable

Still feel like we need a proper out and out striker

Good performance given the players we have lost. Hedges my man of the match, definitely felt like more Hernandez than a Hedges today!

1. Where will Rovers finish ? 12th 2. Who will be the Rovers (official) Player Of The Season ? Travis 3. Who do you think will be the breakout/breakthrough academy player this season ? (Let’s say under 23 at season start & fewer than 10 1st team appearances to be eligible) Adam Wharton 4. Who will win the Championship ? Norwich 5. Where will Burnley finish ? 3rd

To be honest im dissapointed we only have one signing today?! 😁 Anyone else coming in tomorrow?

I'm nervous the Brittain news is out, in hoping we are well down the track and it's Al.osta done deal otherwise can see us losing out to others.

Brittain would be a step up and one I'd be very happy with

Hearing rumours that hierarchy within Rovers are not happy with transfer progress so far, money is available, but has to be within existing parameters, but as it stands struggling to get the quality within price and senior people within club very nervous about it..

Interview sounded very much like he's passing the batton very clearly to the club... I really really really hope they don't do a venkys on him! Grrr

Was ahead of Nyambe at one stage... kind of says everything about our previous manager

Got to disagree... his fear tactics worked up until the mid to back end of the 00's Isolating and bullying a player and creating a team victim mentality is well out of date.. everyone has sussed him out and he will switch players off.. The modern day leader is so much different to to that, have to win hearts and minds in an engaging, creative, individual manner, whilst them knowing you can not be f'd with...

Can't remember the last time it was this quiet on the transfer front... making me very nervous

Seems really quiet on the transfer front, hoping things can speed up over the next few weeks.. genuinely think we need at least 6 players in.

Thanks is this inside info? Or your opinion?

Jason Robert didn't touch the ball.. the ball touched Jason Roberts.. And then 'crumble' on the deck he always was.. shoild have been nicknamed ten pin!

So.. more changes in that Park (head of recruitment) will be replaced.. really interested to see who will come in and their subsequent pedigree.. I think GB is having a real impact on the setup and potential medium term future of our club.. proof always in the pudding, but so far I'm very intrigued

He must be one of the worst headers won to height ratio in the history of football...

We should be looking to get £25m for Diaz not £15m

Think back to his first game.. was pinging in crosses for fun but we had no one in the middle.. that was his natural position.. he looked brilliant Then he was played out of position and practically Mowbraydd 🙄

JDT seems like a breath of fresh air.. to be honest the football structure GB and JDT feel like a huge step up from what we have had previously.. Enthusiasm and communication. Something we have bee totally starved of

What positions do these lads play and what is their playing style?

So what are everyone's thoughts on what we should do this summer, all hypothetical of course, but my wish list would be: Sell Diaz - £15m (personally think he's at his highest market value and we should cash in) Gallagher - £1m (sorry but he's just never really done it for us) Buy / loan 1 x GK as under study to Kaminski 2 x central defenders (ideally one that can play RB) 1 x RB (assuming Ryan is off) 1 x CM (ball playing) 2 x wingers 2 x strikers I know that's a lot but I think it's what we need given those that have left / are going to leave
