I actually do think Philips will come good though and I think its in our interest that he does because I imagine we have a few clauses in in place for future appearances, sell on percentage, etc...

He's one who's career seems to have taken a bit of backwards step since leaving, he was almost good enough to be playing regularly for an upper level championship club when he departed us and at the rate he was going(and the hype he had) he should have be getting game time in the prem by now

Checked in to see some discussion on the players we've been linked to today only to see pages and pages of fkin jdt bickering! Seriously there's nothing any of you have to say on that subject that hasn't been discussed to death multiple times already on these forums! Anyway. Rabbi Matondo!! Seems a bit of an exciting raw luxory player, nothing wrong with that, but I can see Sigurdsson definitely leaving if(or before) a player of that type and position comes in. I think Sigurdsson would be a really good fit for a Scottish club, maybe a 'chaddy special' player exchange plus a bit of cash deal would work.

Vale going out on loan to. The squad real is down to the barest it's been for a long time as far as senior players go

"rovers" always want to have their cake and eat it when it comes to anything involving money. Other clubs must hate having to deal with our cheap amature hour car boot salesman.

I know they're only footballers.... but I thought Travis and Buckley seemed extra "slow" in the recent interviews they've both done, more surprising with Travis considering he's the captain/leader. that said, I can't talk!!!! I've only just realised "Surprise" has two R's in its spelling. (I've always thought it was suprise🙈)

Why do the delays have to be many months(only to then get delayed again and again) and if the courts are so ridiculously busy why not hire more bloody courts & judges. Shithole

He doesn't understand the meaning of the word Lie. It's just a natural occurrence for him

Tbf although I personally was never glad to see the back of him you've still got to remember that he was still far from the finished article whilst with us at that point, although obviously his potential was clearly there to see..

Just all one big fk8n farce from day 1 with these degenerates.

Any Indian speaking folk on here that are able to translate a little once it starts?

Hmmm not knocking him because all I've seen of him is a few of his goal highlights. Just a little food for thought.... But on paper his record isn't much different to Gallagher's when he first joined us on loan, Gallagher also managed to score around 13 goals that season whilst here on loan in a team that was relegated (as Birmingham where with Stansfield last season I do appreciate they different types of forwards through (although I'm still trying to figure out what type of forward Gallagher was, other than pretty ineffectual in most areas)

All this talk about Signing Stansfield for relatively big money when all I want to see come in is a solid reliable keeper. After that any other signings of any size are a bonus. Having a solid keeper is going to be the decider of whether we finish top half or bottom half in my wee opinion.

Signing Iversen for between 1-2 mill should be a no brainer! good pedigree, Bags of championship experience, perfect age for a keeper when they're just reaching their peak years, big commanding keeper (won fans player of the year at preston) Why wouldn't you!

Maks view must have been horrific. thong thong thong thong thong

yeh you're just floggin a dead donkey here bud.

obviously we have hindsight... but looking at that... knocking out right for brittain to run onto and looks the more obvious option, but brittain looks half a asleep as usual when it should have been him calling for the ball. although id have equally have been fine with him just lumping it up the pitch

I'm not sure what caught your eye first there, but for me it wasn't Big Macs big smile, it was Duffys Mc nuggets.

Tronstadt likely didn't see that he had a man on his back! where as Pears had full view of the pitch and should have simply used his own brain and decided against passing to him!!

Pears is now in the Jake Kean phase.... average at best to begin with, now has zero confidence but we don't even have another senior keeper to replace him with...

Good away result. further goal & assist from our two new forwards. bingo. But! just put the sky sports highlights on on you tube... first "highlight" pears unnecessarily passing the ball out to a defender whilst said defender was under pressure from two opposition players. luckily this time he was bailed out (by Tronstadt I think)

Times like this in games that Szmodics was needed most. not sure any of this lot have the resilience to get back on the front foot and retake the lead

Whilst I agree it's too early to fully judge them... I haven't seen anything too negative from them to make me 'doubt them' But yes as the squad stands it is nowhere near strong enough in depth (in most areas of the pitch)

I just have this gut wrenching feeling/premonition that Ohashi is going to get badly injured once the oppo start really knocking him about to stop him playing or he'll break down due to the intensity of the game here 😩 Hope to fk I'm wrong 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 because he looks a real star
