Wasn't he the player who was sacked last season for cheering about attacks on Israel? or am I confusing him with someone else?

Personally see it as JRC Tronstad Hedges Ohashi NEW/Dolan Gueye Both JRC and Tronstad offer more than Trav in midfield, and with Travis' wage he is likely next on the departures list. Hedges cutting inside takes the place JRC has held in pre season allowing Brittain to overlap down the right If Trav stays then JRC may play in the 10 slot to give Ohashi time to adapt to English football

It will be a 4-2-3-1 in most games and then some sort of back 3 and wingback system in games such as the Leeds and Leicester away games at the end of last season. That's what Eustace has done his whole managerial career, and there is no reason that will change this year

Thanks for posting that Still see a floating roaming 10 as more central than wide Hedges could play LW, but that being said, we probably need someone with a bit more pace out wide

Yes, that is where he has played for the majority of his career, including here https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-hedges/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/326230

Which article? Can you post it please? A "fluid 10" sounds central to me, not the sort of player I would want trying to whip crosses in for a 6 ft 5 striker

Ohashi doesn't look like a wide player to me

The thing we may have to consider is that maybe our wide players (or at least some of them) can put a decent cross in (at least better than what we have seen in recent years), but with Armstrong, Brereton, Szmodics and Gally (who was never great in the air) to aim at, it was actively discouraged or at least seen as not the best choice in most situations That being said, there are far better crossers of the ball than we have. I just have a worry that "the next Craig Conway" is seen by someone at the club as being Adam Reach (edit who I cannot believe is only 31 - genuinely thought he was over 35)

Have you somehow crossed over from a separate timeline where we signed McGuire and didn't sign Gueye? What happened to Nelson Mandela where you come from?

partially, partially also to try & persuade him to stay maybe too

Do we have to endure a 30 goal season for Ennis coming up then?

signed for Barrow on a free a few weeks back

Phillips even signed a pro deal after the original scholarship deal https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/september/20/phillips-pens-pro-deal-/

Rovers sacked him for thieving from his team mates in the academy (allegedly)

What if we all chip in for a name change? Jack Stokes can be yours for only £3.5M

Seeing as you guys seem to like buying strikers from Rovers every 6 months these days, We do have a young hot shot named Jack Vale that may be available in January for no more than £2M-3M

Very good at defending corners

takes half the length of the pitch to get up to speed though

He runs around a lot, so much better than Ennis in that regard

Would make the most sense, so it is almost certain it wont happen that way 😉

You are probably right Now at Plymouth I think

Connor Mahoney? Was at Gillingham on loan from Huddersfield last season in League 2, recently moved to Barrow

No idea, seeing some guesses online of £1M-£2M Villa probably have a buy back option on him like they did with Philogene and Archer
