To be fair he did say forward player. You can’t really say Sammie looked a goal threat today despite getting the all important first goal.

First time in DC. I land Saturday so I’ll probably head out for the Sunday games after doing a morning of sight seeing. Week of work and then fly home the following Saturday.

Brilliant lol. Did you hear that the word Gullible had been taken out of the dictionary Chaddy. It’s clearly a joke lol, what part of the post made you think that JPVH was seriously camped out at Brockhall lol.

Dack isn’t going to get on again is he

Do you guys get to see any Rovers games on TV or is it just Rovers player (or whatever it’s called now). I’m in Washington DC for a week and Rovers are playing at Reading midweek when I’m there. Wondering what the chances of watching it in a pub over there are? I’m guessing slim to f all!

Another amazing assist and finish!

That was fantastic by Hedges.

I have a bad feeling that Burnley are going to go for Van Hecke

Best part of the Smodic post was him blaming his Ring doorbell. Can’t believe they didn’t ring his doorbell to tell him they were going to steal his car 😄

Morton and Liverpool 3-0 down at half time so fair to say he’s probably not impressed. May be being harsh on him as I’ve not been watching.

What’s the financial situation like at Birmingham now? Could we potentially look at getting a bid in for Jordan James? Think he’ll be one who pushes on over the coming season.

Mentioned before that Liverpool supporting friends seem to rate Morton fairly well. Different level to Clarkson according to them but obviously no Elliot who was already premier league level when he joined us (IMO)

Of course we will Chaddy. You have yourself a nice cup of cocoa and get tucked up in beddy bys.

Mate is a liverpool fan and has been raving about him so could be a good loan.

His nephew is my plasterer if that’s any sort of claim to fame lol.

Would Conor Mahoney be worth a look? He’s on a free and has never really made the step up that was expected. Still young enough to do it though.

I’d feel more confident of JDT convincing a player to sign for us than I would have Mowbray.

We need to either get him signed up to a new contract or sold. Easy as that. No messing about like we did with the other three. Put a good offer on the table on the basis of not being able to afford for him to walk away on a free. If he doesn’t sign it we have to sell this summer.

Ash turned 17 over the weekend so assuming he couldn’t sign a contract until then so maybe it is a recent pic. Anyone know if he’s out in Portugal? It May be him and Carter filling the voids but I’d be concerned about that tbf. I think we need one older head and then give Carter a season with Philips being around the first team and used in the cups this season.

Agreed. He’s had a successful loan spell in the league above the team that Wharton went to. They are keen to keep him. He’s now had two good loan spells in league one and will want to push on to hold down a championship place. Best position is the right side of a back three according to Portsmouth fans (my office is in Petersfield so I know a few fans from down there)

Is he any better than our own player in Carter? He’s also had rave reviews from Portsmouth.

I know I’ve mentioned it before but I think we’ll see a lot more of Carter for the one CB slot with another signed / loaned.

Which managers would JDT have played under? I’m guessing there are some big names based on the clubs he’s been at.

Pleased he’s been able to bring in two of his own staff. Think that will be an important factor over the season. Genuinely excited about the appointment.

Could we see Ben at the World Cup with the news that Ecuador could be thrown out for fielding an illegible player. All games he played in are reverted to 3-0 losses which moved Chile from 4th to 6th.
