Going back a few years now, I remember how excited people where when Sam Gallagher came back. He's had decentt spells but on the most part been massively disappointing. If this even comes to fruition I hope we don't have our pants pulled down. That said we're desperate for defenders and it isn't my money.

Mental that Anthony Gordon is being priced at 60 million plus and we can't get a quarter of that for Diaz. Even with his contract situation being what it is.

Am I missing something and I know it's only rumors and paper talk at this point. But why would van hecke choose Sunderland over us, unless we're not in for him at all? Sorry if I'm behind but just been reading about it now.

Don't be daft. Diaz goes to Leeds an hour before the deadline too.

Yeah if dack doesn't start next game then clearly there's something gone on. Big week ahead transfer wise. The manager is saying as politely as possible we need players in.

Don't think we expected 3-0 but I thought we'd get beaten today. Think the result at reading makes it worse too. Signings needed. It's better we get this wake up call now than next month when it's too late. Hopefully we can get some quality in 🤞🤞🤞

Surely they meant championship football.

Khadra and that anel lad to score. Dack and Diaz to score for us. 2-2 game of the season 🫠

He was getting alot of assists at Crewe. Mainly from set pieces to be fair to whoever scouted him.

Surely with Travis and Buckley to extent playing fairly deep that will allow both fullbacks/wingbacks to push further up. Either way I'd rather have styles in any role or position over pickering right now. Best he's done all season is when he went to centre back last Sunday.

Yeah look how well his mate is doing on the right of a back four. Absolutely absurd that he can't do the same on the left. He's far too good for league one and someone is going to get a bargain. Hopefully something can happen today and give the fans and players a lift after the other night. Even though anyone signed won't play tomorrow, it'd be a positive going into a tough game tomorrow. Let's hope for a bounce back

Our only hope is that heckingbottom is a terrible manager. They've got by far the better squad.

Yeah dack used to be our match winner but sadly he just isn't the same player any more. Hopefully this forces their hand because so far especially Sunday, we got away with a threadbare squad. Seeing us still top should be encouraging for any player coming in. Let's just hope they didn't watch last night.

Pickering was awful but the so were most of the team last night. Brittain is light years ahead of him. He never goes forward with the ball but can't defender either. We looked tired in the first half and once they scored their confidence sky rocketed. Second half was slightly better the first 15 mins or so. When we don't take our chances though of which we don't creat many. We will always struggle. I think it's clear from last night we won't get the few chances we've been cresting so far. We need some quality bringing in. We've two weeks to do so and I'll reserve judgment on Broughton until then.

Absolutely abysmal. Get pickering, vale and Dolan off. Gally dack and edun on. The only positive is that it's only 1-0.

Feel like I'm watching last season again. Vale and pickering terrible. Should've started dack.

As daft as it sounds even if he's not starting could we just make a point of subbing him on every game. Even if for a few minutes to push that fee up 😂

Can't blame Phillips if he goes. He may never fulfill his obvious potential and never earn this amount of money again. Wish we could get a decent fee for him but we probably won't.

I hope not think he deserves a chance. Unless the manager doesn't fancy him after pre season. I'd rather keep him and add one real quality defender. Especially as we've no alternative right full back and he can fill in there.

I like Dolan but hate how often he does that stupid pirouette. Which very rarely comes off

Khadra was a headless chicken. All fart and no poo. He looked good on his debut when he came on against Hull. Showed flashes of brilliance here and there but nowhere near often enough. He'll be an impact sub at sheff united.

Hope so him Diaz and Gallagher. The way the team is interchanging, would be hard to play against. Three very different but affective attackers.

If I had any faith in the owners reinvesting the money, when we got next to nothing of the Armstrong money. I'd say take 10-15 million and get three or four really good players. Have a real push at promotion. But I don't and as it's not my money. I'd rather him walk for free next summer. Stupid I know but you take him out the team and whoever we bring in. No matter how good will take time to bed in. By then we could've fallen away and although early days it just seems something really special is happening. We already need players in this to keep the momentum. We are taking the few chances we get in a game. Scoring some brilliant goals.

Yeah four points from these two away games would be class. We owe sheff united after last season. Their manager is terrible but they've got arguably the best squad in the league.

Yeah west Brom were silent for most of the game until they fluked that goal. That's the best atmosphere I've seen at rovers in years. Even when they scored and had that ten minutes of battering us. Usually heads would drop but yesterday was different.
