I agree with you, feel like we already have 3 loans. Now need to back it with 4-5 perms. For some reason I feel optimistic about this season. Upgrade on Pears, 2 new wingers, new LB and a new CM and I think we are flying. Losing Szmodics we need another replacement.

Great synopsis and completely agreed. I now worry Waggott and Pasha won't fund us after that display, but we are in desperate need for 4-5 signings! Without the above I think we're massively at risk

Agreed. I also thought his decision making on the ball was awful Trying to do skill rather than release the ball early for some good opportunities happened a few times last night.

I just cannot back a loan. Permanents only. Weve effectively already got 3 loans in Batth, Weimann and McFadz. We need to be using that £30m (+£10m) warchest and buying players on 3 year deals.

Agreed.

Hate to say it. Dolans decision making in forward areas is quite frankly woeful. However Gueye and Ohashi look absolutely fantastic buys.

Knew there was a reason. Now Ohashi and Gueye superfans

Buzzing for today, not sure why I feel so positive going into the season as we do have an extremely limited manager, relegation candidate squad and the worst owners and CEO. But actually very excited.

I reckon we had a plan to sell Carter and brought in O'Riordan as the replacement, the sale just never came to fruition.

Thanks my hero - saves me from viewing losing my head every 2 mins that person posts

Looking forward to this podcast more than ever @glen9mullan You are going to absolutely rinse him.

Admin anyone able to let me know how to permanently hide someone's post so I never have to see them again? Cheers.

Mate you just follow wherever the wind blows e.g. whatever Rovers say it's so so infuriating.

Laughable - he's the owners advisor but reports into Steve Waggott? 😂😂 Fuck off

Football match tomorrow, no published shirt numbers yet. The Comms is absolutely appalling.

I think Tronstad should be captain. Hyam has a weak mentality - telling riverside to calm down, moaning about fans being on the players back. Arguably should be sold for an absolutely awful season.

Not too sure if it's been posted already. Ryan Kent looks likely to sign for Ipswich. Have they moved on from Szmodics?

Eustace appears like he has no backbone. How have you not picked a captain yet.

You should be a scout.

This is jokes - Alan acting like De Lange is off to Rovers. Feels like a battle of the In the Knows! WHO WILL BE RIGHT??

It's crazy how much the Venkys and adminstration have got fans now thinking not reinvesting in a squad after sales is normal. That's the reality of where we are and it's quite frankly embarrassing.

Weird one, I thought Atcheson was seen as the future?

Haha absolutely not. He does seem to have an inside line to Rovers now.
