Walton Nyambe Lenihan Adarabioyo Bell Travis Rothwell Armstrong Dack Gallaher Brereton Get at them early!

A number of sites previewing the upcoming season have him listed in our players out category as released. Shame for the lad as that will be almost 3 seasons without playing. Must be nearing calling it a day.... e.g. https://www.newsatden.co.uk/72547-2019-20-predictions-upper-mid-table-blackburn-derby-swansea-huddersfieldhttps://www.newsatden.co.uk/72547-2019-20-predictions-upper-mid-table-blackburn-derby-swansea-huddersfield

I think its a sensible move for all. Nuttall clearly has an eye for goal but his lack of technical ability proves costly at higher levels against better defenders. Prolific at U23s but I cant see him playing any higher than L1. Hope it goes well for the lad. Wonder if there will be any more outs this summer? Centre mid seems heavily stocked with similar players to me.

This sky sports poll has us as finishing 3rd bottom! https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/11774037/sky-bet-championship-2018-19-predict-how-the-24-teams-will-finish-in-the-table

The Gareth Bale saga seems to have no end in site. Real Madrid and Zidane want him to leave, Bale refuses to leak and wont take a pay cut on wages of £600,000 a week! ? Kind of think it sums up modern football that Bale would rather not play and take the money than play regularly somewhere else whilst still earning millions a year.

Pretty much agree with this. I'll put my hands up that I had no idea who the left back was when he came on, even thinking he may be a trialist. Thought he was much better than Bell. Also much taller than our other full backs and even got forward a bit. Johnson looked spent after about 15 minutes. Very slow and laboured. Didnt really offer anything different to Evans or Smallwood. Hopefully he will improve with more fitness. Downing seems a pointless signing. Another Conway. If Mowbray starts the season with Travis, Nyambe, Rothwell benched for Downing, Bennett and Evans he needs removing. The impact was instant once Travis and Rothwell came on.

It does look like weve had zero pre season. Johnson looks gone already. The fact Mowbeay has picked the oldest dullest least progressive team he possible could just compounds it. Really cant understand his thinking. Hopefully there will be changes at half time and this isn't what he thinks is the best side.

0-1 Defoe beats mulgrew to a header.... This line up is truly terrible. The 7 on the bench would beat us.

at the game. our team looks so slow. Johnson like smallwood. Downing another Conway. the bench looks far more exciting.

boring starting line up for this one. hopefully this isn't a sign of Mowbrays first choice.

Wow...... Have our PR/marketing team all been made redundant on the quiet? Nothing productive ever seems to come out of the club I would try and peel the sponsor logo off and stick it on the home shirt.

The latest LET interview with Mowbray doesnt sound good reg Davenport. Apparently hes going for a scan and was very upset after the game. Doesnt say what the injury is. id imagine Davenport wouldnt be very emotional unless he knew it was fairly serious.

Wow that Huddersfield kit..awful! Makes our Bet 10 look ok! Any news when the away kit is released?

Whilst our game vs the mighty Rochdale is cancelled Acc Stanley have just got their fans excited by beating Marseille. Sounds like Marseille brought a decent strength side too.

I associate a lot of blame to Rovers. Our pre season is the result of unambitious and lazy organisation on behalf of the club. It appears no thought or effort has been put into the fixture list, with two arranged against clubs who are unlikely to or cant fulfill the fixture.

Me and my Rangers supporting mate are off to this. looking forward to seeing a new stadium. Unfortunately we sold out our allocation straight away so I'm having to sit with the home fans! Hopefully I wont get found out!

I saw a few games and I enjoyed the lack of diving, arguing and general cheating (apart from Cameroon) which now makes the mens game almost unbearable to watch. As you say though that standard is very poor and slow. I have played amateur saturday league for the past 12 seasons and I'm pretty sure I'd get in some of the women's teams. It will never match the mens game due natural physical limitations as there is with tennis etc. Good to see the womens game get more tv time though.

Cant see any good coming out of Raya leaving. A young home grown (relitively) GK who is arguably the best shot stopper in the league with some obvious flaws to be replaced with likely a free journeyman. with decent coaching he could well becomee a Premier league keeper.

After the last game of last season I was reasonably optimistic. Now im not at all. The current squad will be fighting to stay up rather than looking at the top 6. Worrying that talk of incomings seems to have completely fizzled out now.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2019/july/gallery-the-final-session/ Anyone seen the photos from the final austria training session? Theres a couple of photos of Chapman sat on the sidelines looking sad and no other pics of him joinign in the rest of the squad. Theres a pic at the end of him doing some boxing on his own with a coach. Wonder if his hamstring is still made of string.

Much better than last year!! Proper shade of blue again. I wonder if the club is at the mercy of what Umbro decides or whether the club were very well aware that last season shirt was very unpopular. I do think the Bet 10 logo is crap. Why cant they colour code it like they do on other kits? A navy colour would be much better.

Payne just got relegated to league 2. Hes tiny and struggled to get a game when we were in Leauge 1. If we sign him its nothing but lazy and incompetent scouting or desperation that we cant get any deals done.

On the other hand if I saw Williams and Mulgrew play last year and was told by the Manager I would have to wait to start ahead of him Id tell them to jog on...

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17729706.rovers-boss-on-missing-out-on-patrick-bauer-to-preston/ This basically says Bauer went to Preston because Mowbray told him he would start behind Williams in the pecking order........

Also the potential to gain fans and sell merchandise abroad which otherwise wouldnt have heard of the club. I'd imagine if Venkys were actually bothered about the club they would be making us do pre season tours against Indian sides.
