Miller looks like a walking red card to me

He did it at Boro too if I remember rightly, downed tools towards the end of his spell there. All points to his character being that of an arrogant and self important man.

Someone should ask Rudy whether he was on more than 10k as a Rovers player or the club he left to join and whether if he were still a player now would be sign for 10K.

Personally see it as a 1 or 2/10 at best looking at the window as a whole. The squad looks significantly weaker across the board and in terms of problem positions none have been addressed or a superior replacement brought in for a departing player. I look at the incomings and question how many would have got in last years starting 11 pre-christmas. Not only are the new players (IMO) weaker technically than their predecessors they are significantly weaker in terms of senior minutes played at an equivalent or higher level, which is of more worry to me personally given the demands of the championship.

Gestede is clearly an incredibly arrogant man, we’re talking Trump levels IMO. He showed it as a player and now with greater power showing his true colours on a daily basis. I genuinely think he believes himself to be some sort of recruitment genius and that these players will turn out to be stellar signings he can sell for profit, and if not I’m sure he benefits in the same way Kean and pals did from random European transfers.

Be more painful for us watching us get whalloped all over and paying for the privilege. They don’t care, they’ll still get 15k a month in their bank from rovers, which is all they care about

I'm sure I saw on another thread that it's Jordan Rhodes coming in as a finishing coach

if Wrexham have genuinely offered 2m he's as good as gone, Pasha will class it as a good fee recouped. They will believe they can get by with Miller at CB alongside McLoughlin. If it weren't all so predictable it would be funny

Not sure about the playing time but we defo won't pay the 10k wages It really does have that feel doesn't it

He seems to be on podcasts quite regularly. Quite a few of that team are, terrible listening as the Coyle stories are an awful listen

I didn't include him as I was putting him in the Tronstad boat of being decent (albeit fleetingly and very injury prone). Trying to make my point about the lack of quality we have now (and then) if our sole decent midfielder gets injured

I just looked at the relegation team from 16/17 and a an injury to Tronstad puts us very much in the realms of Hope Akpan, Jason Lowe and Danny Guthrie

Alan Browne would have been a fantastic signing given his experience and quality, the way it was dismissed totally out of hand in the post match interview tells me everything I need to know.

That midfield 5 is terrifying, Tronstad the only championship quality player in there, the other 3 I don't believe are the standard required and a massive question mark (being kind) next to Baradji who we have no idea a) if he's any good b) when he's fit.

I talk about this with the players I coach all the time. You have to take ownership of your own role in mistakes. Refs don’t miss chances, they don’t let goals in, etc. We lost yesterdays game because they completely dominated the first half, the sending off is a result of that domination. Second half we cost ourselves with our inability to hit the net/ lack of quality in final pass

Fair enough, I didn’t see the hedges and Alebiousu ones as bookings. I also thought the ref should have got a grip generally on the Cantwell situation earlier, though again don’t think the two players should have been booked just told to grow up and pack it in. From where we were sat it looked a possible penalty but it’s not been mentioned in any of the post match press conferences as far as I heard driving home so maybe not a major incident.

What in particular did he do so wrong? I genuinely can’t think of a major decision he got wrong. There was a corner we should have had second half and a foul on Cantwell second half on our right, oh and the comedy keeper count but other than that I didn’t see anything I particularly disagreed with or felt irked by

I thought the ref was fine today, we made his job easy by allowing Norwich to buy some stupid fouls. The amount of times rovers players bundled into the back of players waiting for contact was painful to watch. Each time slowing the game down and allowing them to control the flow of the game

Fair enough and I’ll wholeheartedly support him in blue and white, I am Just very worried about our current recruitment teams ability to spot a player

My point is he’s not scoring goals in a team that scores a lot where he’s had a good amount of minutes. So his conversion rate looks suspect

Whilst I’m on a rant and rapid fire posting session, one thing that particularly pissed me off about Kargbo today was his total lack of commitment physically. There was an instance in the first half when he had the run on the covering centre half, both sprinting to a through ball. He saw the centre half coming and shit the bed, let him have it. His one asset is his speed, which he rendered useless by being soft as shite

I get what you’re saying but we’ve all watched plenty of football and have eyes. Whilst we will all differ slightly on our views of players individual merits at a granular level it’s fairly obvious who is a good’un and who is a bad’un. How many of the new lads pass the eye test, honestly. I’d say Alebiousu alone of the ones who’ve played a few games and I’d stick my neck out on a 15 min cameo and say Morishito will be good, he looks like a quicker Ohashi. The rest are toilet, Ribeiro included, he’s Pickering without the ability to pass.

There’s a reason these lads we’ve signed have all been kicking around European lower leagues, unfortunately half our fans are too blind to see the reality.

Gudjohnsen fills me with dread, a poor goal record in a high performing team. Not a good sign

This exact rule has just been explained to the dingles on the radio
