Rovers would have beaten that team today.

Gally really needs to hit the ground running. Need big things from him this year. It could happen?

Apparently because he doesn’t get assists or something. He’s clearly one of the best fullbacks in the league imo

I’m sure I’ve been reading on here how Nyambe is bog average and we should play JRC there and cash in for a couple of mil. Must not be the same lad.

A lot to like in our team. Up by Xmas.

Bet he ain’t unscathed. Will drop a peanut on his foot on the flight back or summat.

Same, it’s gorgeous. Seems we’ve got a marmite kit again. We all got used to the grey one last year and it seemed to sell well so ??‍♂️

Agreed - Hanley getting some ridiculous pelters here. If he’s fit, he’d be our best defender. I always thought when asked he could move the ball around pretty well, and certainly travel with it. He’s a bit like Harry Maguire - he just gives off the illusion of being a donkey.

Some of us are just catching up @Mattyblue TBH it's not the price rise that is the main problem for me. The statement reads like a tired and frustrated CEO who is out of ideas. Bit worrying.

That is fucking appalling. Either the taps have been turned off or someone is seriously dropping the ball at executive level. Perhaps both.

Yeah but I think @Richard Oakley might have the frame of reference a little wrong. I doubt that Marshall would go into what surely is our top 1/3rd of earners. Isn't Dack currently on about 15k and thats near the top of the tree? 20k p/w is very much of the higher end for Championship players apart from the odd outlier.

It will be nowhere near that.

I've been bracing myself for over 24 hours now lads. I might come a cropper with all this. Time to unclench? Need the toilet.

Just catching up. From the last couple of pages of pointless bickering am I right to deduce that fuck all is happening?

He made 43 appearances edit- hang on are you on about PAUL Downing?

Unless Armstrong is off. (throws dynamite, secures tin hat)

The club was love-drunk with that promotion winning team. We all were. The impasse is likely correct - Mulgrew personally OFFENDED at only being offered a quarter of a mil or something to clear off and just play football somewhere else.

Not with his back to goal he’s not. Dack thrives off a human wall to play off if he’s in the 10 role.

Indeed. If there’s one bench spot though or we are chasing a goal then I already know who I would be picking. Chapman was a cheap crowd pleasing gamble, I just don’t see it paying off though and L1 will be the absolute height of his ability and career.

I’m confident BB will contribute plenty this season. But if we are trying to reignite the Dack that we have known and loved then we will need a proper centre forward. We don’t have that player yet so get Bradley up top.

I’m ready to get really revisionist. L1 - the attackers we faced were crap and he’d have been nothing without Downing - a proper centre back for that level. Charlie don’t jump. Raya was stopping absolutely everything too. That promotion was about Raya, Smallwood, Dack and Graham. So we then gave the CLUB CAPTAIN a new contract and a chance to lead us into the Championship. He was absolutely shite. Times up sorry Charlie. Just face it like a man and don’t disrespect the club that gave you a lifeline and plenty of international caps for longer than you deserved. Dick.

Looks confident. He seems to be embracing the opportunity and the responsibility of being one of our main goal threats. He’s learnt a lot off DG and was fantastic yesterday. Kid’s 21. Exciting.

We don’t have a DG anymore. Get Arma, Dack, Holtby and Brereton on the pitch and we’ll score plenty.

Chapman is LIGHTYEARS behind Armstrong @Stuart, that’s why he doesn’t get played. Take out a few tricks and step overs from L1 and I really haven’t ever seen him be anything other than average at best. Dolan showed him up big style.

Football shirts are hotfashionsupercool at the moment, retro ones especially. Its a cultural touchstone and really an everyman thing. For many blokes it’s the only thing they will ever wear that been “designed”. My beer belly pokes out of them with pride. Really grown on me seeing it in action. The blue is perfect.
