A few Brum fans on Twitter talking about Jutkiewicz. Don't know if there's anything in it and hate to mention this guy's name but it's got a feeling of Ashley Barnes about it . Which may not be a bad thing

Its an easy and lazy way to point fingers.

Hes been playing crap, probably a mixture of poor form, lack of confidence, playing in a struggling team, ring rust and crucially his weaknesses being exposed due to tactics that are exposing all of our defenders.

Possibly.. It was the fact he was accused of not trying that pissed me off. 

People are just lashing out at anything and anyone at the moment

Downgrade from van Hecke for me. He was pretty good last season, but gets found out in our current gung-ho system. Feel a bit sorry for him though.

It was the same system last year ? Not disputing JPVH is top quality but always out of our price range. For what we paid Hyam had been an excellent signing.

No - imo he's just a bang average player at best.

He was crap in the second half of last season as well.

People don't half have short memories. Must not have been too bad last season.

Had a few dodgy games after coming back from a bad injury and suddenly he's shit.

Second game was a draw with Semir scoring. Thats 2 in 2 for him, albeit behind closed doors. Hopefully his time is coming.

Going to say it now, think there could be a player in there given time.

Same.

A bit of research shows that Ennis shares the same agent as Harry Pickering, Patrick Gamble and Luke Brennan (former Rovers youth player).

I didn't know until yesterday, but a transfer target of ours, who we have been linked with a few times previously, including just last week, also has the same agent. Joe Gelhardt.

What transfer rumour was going around the other day. Was it Ennis going out on loan?

Anyway, here's an article containing rave reviews about Gelhardt:

Interesting, but that article is over 18 months old and I personally don't think Gelhardt has lived up to his promise. Disappointing by all accounts at Sunderland last season. I would hope he's not the striker being rumoured as a replacement for Gallagher if he leaves

This is going to be a huge few weeks coming up, with the end of the window and 4 home games on the bounce, starting with Huddersfield on Saturday, who we owe one after the performance at their place.

No excuses about horrendous fixture schedules, there's plenty of time now to get back on the training pitch and sort out our problems.  I would be more worried if I didn't know that the likes of Hyam and Carter are good players in an awful patch of form, something they'll come out of soon hopefully.

Selling Gallagher at the moment would not be a good idea, just like letting Travis go was a mistake. These are the type of players you need on the pitch in situations like this, whatever you may feel about them

In fairness to Gallagher we didn't cross him a ball for about 3 years.

 

Yeah, I bet Ipswich don't play him on the right wing

Rovers to listen to loan offers for 6 youngsters

https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1212619190?-11198:839

Rovers now 3-2 up after being 2-0 down early on.

A goal for Batty along with 2 assists. 

Edit now 4-2 Ennis with 2 (1 pen) and Markandy the other scorers

Anybody feel another digital day disaster from our genius CEO ?

I like the ideal of Gelhardt as a player and think he fits JDTs style…but he’s not the goal scorer we’re after.

If Leonard is going I wouldn’t be surprised if Gelhardt is his replacement…Probably what Travis wages will be going towards as he won’t be cheap.

Didn't have a good time at Sunderland last season at all. Gelhardt is not an out and out striker from what I've seen. If he did come in I can't see him scoring more goals than Siggy, tbh.

The LT reckons there's nothing in it either

Any news on the squad? Expecting any returnees getting some mins?

Would be good to see batty and gilsenen getting 90 mins

doubt what?

Doubt JDT will expand on Travs departure to any great extent. Probably just the usual about needing experience, certainly won't talk about any fall out with hom

If he's 3rd or 4th choice and the club needs to free up funds to sign players who will make the starting line-up then it makes sense. 

If it's been done purely as a cost-cutting measure with no incomings to compensate then it's a ridiculous move. 

JDT's press conf will tell us more

 

I doubt it tbh
