Hate those announcement videos of them biting flowers and striking poses. Rather they just put out a press release.

Hyam a done deal https://x.com/RoversXtra/status/1962611816963428825?t=1F__GBQmWNRbh7znj2H7pw&s=19

It's a bad year to implement the Gestede ball strategy of selling all our best players and hoping there's three worse teams. All the promoted sides will stay up I think.

Been told he has no future here apparantley. https://x.com/RoversXtra/status/1962603259413045331?t=PUv4_9lOgBLQt5zL0Xlm4g&s=19

I also wonder what's happening with Jake Garrett. Will he be released?

Harley O'Gardy Macken off to Oldham.

My thoughts as well, if we'd added to the squad with some of these signings I'd be pleased but we've replaced proven championship players who composed the spine of the team with cheaper alternatives from minor European leagues.

Hyam deal still In the works, think they have until 9. https://x.com/NathSalt1/status/1962592629146739131?t=E7pfF-exovmrTYw-YYe91w&s=19 In other news Jack Barrett has gone on loan to Tranmere.

Pretty irrelevant but I heard through the grapevine that he's got into the habit of booking £5000 tables at nightclubs to impress girls.

I think selling Leonard is the right choice given the fee. I noticed on a few occasions he'd get into a good position with the ball and then almost seize up even if just for a split second before shooting by which time a defender had the chance to stick a leg out and block it. I think that the ability to get a shot off when you get the chance is often innate and is the barrier between a player who scores for in the comparatively low-pressure and low-pace academy league games becoming a professional striker in the championship. Of course it may have developed if he hadn't had so many injury problems but to me he just didn't posses that killer instinct, he may however thrive in the lower leagues and hit double figure seasons where he has more time to think about his shots.

Harry Pickering had a stand out performance for me which was impressive given the quality of the rest of the team.

Rich Sharpe is at his best when stamping out rumours.

Todd Cantwell looks a bit like a girl I used to fancy

Feel like mentioning Sam Gallagher is still rubbish. Loses the ball every single time he has it, terrible target man, creates nothing and never makes anything close to a good run. I've seen the statistic that says we win with him in the squad but as I've said all along we need Brereton-Diaz in that central role.

Hedges played more than anyone during pre-season so I think JDT must fancy him
