I said weeks ago, if Eustace wants a keeper he'll get one. We'll have 4 new players by tomorrow and more to come, if one isn't a keeper it's because Eustace is happy with Pears, not because we can't afford one. Best thing that happened for Pears last season was getting injured, meaning Wahlstedt got a do, and that spoke for itself. After that, some of the more hysterical, ridiculous criticism died a death. He's young for a keeper, last season will hopefully stand him in good stead. I get the feeling he's got until January.

I described it as a big ask.

Duncan Ferguson, you've started something now 🙂

If he makes a 20 goal striker of Ennis, we need to get him back

Ta, didn't know. Same goes for whoever he partners.

Be more interesting to see if Campbell does.

Ta,unusual one that.

I never know how to pronounce Perry Ng

Thinking the same, hopefully we at least turn up at The Dome on the 31st, not like last time.

Accy Stanley girls played a team over from Dallas on Sunday, FC Sting.

You never know.i know it's wishful thinking but if Rovers were taking this long over buying someone, we'd be wondering if it would ever happen. 🤞

Thinking that.

Time for the shop to order in some of those white headbands 🇯🇵

Just replace Chris Samba with Makhtar Gueye, it works I've road tested it.

Yeah it's time to go, but it wasn't just Szmodics was it?. Not that it matters any more, he's gone, hope the new lad more than fills his boots😌

Probably 🤣

All that and you overlooked his biggest positive of all, whoever plays with him usually ends up at the top of the scoring charts.

You gave him a 5,before we kicked off.

Our man of the match away at Preston, you probably gave him a 5.

It would be interesting to hear what they have to say. I'm not against selling him, if he won't sign then he has to go, I'm just apprehensive about having to replace both him and Szmodics at the same time. Obviously a lot of people think he can be replaced easily, I hope that's the case but I think it's a big ask all at once. I'm 100% sure Eustace would rather him extend his contract, rather than try to replace him at the same time as Szmodics.

Agreed with all that.

It's probably better to ask Armstrong, Brereton and Szmodics what his contribution has been. If we can get £1.5 million for him, he has to go if he's no intention of signing a new contract. Replacing his goals alone shouldn't be a problem, replacing his overall contribution to the team and the overall scoring record of the forward line might prove more difficult. Will you be claiming you were right if the replacement scores 7 or 8,but nobody else reaches double figures? I sincerely hope you are right and we stay up comfortably, but I do fear trying to replace both him and Szmodics at the same time will be a big ask.

He must have worked hard on it in training,with all his different partners, cos it kept working 🤣

My most compelling arguments for keeping Gallagher are that by now he should be paid for, and his partners over the past 5 years have scored bucket loads.

We won't get enough to replace him, I was actually hoping he'd have his contract extended. If as expected, we're looking to rely on the younger forwards more, he would have been a tried and tested experienced head to partner any young player on the pitch.
