The biggest praise for Batth is that we’ve not missed Carter at all since he’s been injured.

Beck!!

This Kaminski will have a storming game and shut us out. 0-0 draw for me

So 4 away wins for the first time since…… last season lol. They mentioned it on the commentary but if i hadn’t have heard it I would have thought it was a good few years since we last managed that. After all the talk of how well Sunderland have done we’re a home game against Portsmouth away from going above them in the league.

I was just going to ask Chaddy the same question 😄

If Hill comes back here he starts every game. He’s not sitting behind Batth on the bench. Hill would be our best defender and would need to start.

at todays AGM the Rangers FC board confirmed they received a total of £810,000 for the sales of Todd Cantwell, Connor Goldson, Sam Lammers, Scott Wright and Robby McCrorie just copied that from a FB post. I wonder what we actually paid for Cantwell based on that. Although I wonder if that is the total transfer fees received or just the first instalment. Looks like Rangers fans aren’t happy that they’ve let players leave for small amounts.

We do like to shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes. Give them 7000 tickets and then unable to sell them beer before the game. Surely there should be a back up plan in place when card machines aren’t available.

Aaaaand…. I didn’t see your last post when I quoted your earlier one lol.

Do you think we’d look at bringing in Louie Barry? There’s talk of his loan being ended at Stockport early and him going on loan to a championship club. We had a loan from Villa last year so we possibly have a relationship with them.

Change in formation? Could be Pickering at left cb in a three

I was having a right moan about the ball constantly going back to Pears before we scored. Shows what I know I guess

Im going tomorrow. Expecting us to get trounced as Cardiff are on a decent run.

This is a Stoke team without an away goal since August! Just let that sink in. That’s how bad we are.

Cantwell is a class above anyone else on that pitch. Hedges is a class below

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I don’t get our goal kick tactics. Pears rolls it to Hyam, Hyam back to pears, pears goes long. We did it over and over again and it just made no sense at all. All we do is make it harder for our very average keeper to clear the ball. We have exactly the outcome as if he just kicked it long in the first place. seems to be the modern game of wanting to knock it around at the back when it’s really not needed.

Mad that only one of the starting line up from our game there in March would start now. It’ll be two on the weekend as Pickering will play but only because of Becks ban.

Ticket situation is an absolute joke. I can’t collect them from Ewood and the option to collect from Cov has now gone as well. No idea why there are no sales on the night, just makes no sense tbf. Looks like I won’t be heading up to Cov 😞

Annoying that they can’t be bought on the day. I’m not sure if I can make it yet. It does look like I’ll be able to collect them at the ground but I’m guessing I’ll need to order them by Monday at the latest.

Hedges poor so far. I’d be bringing him off for Cantwell or Guaye.

I’d love to go back and find your reaction when the Rotherham player got a red for doing it against us last season. I’m betting you weren’t asking the ref to have a word with him then.

Hopefully Eustace gets the message through to the new players about just how big this game is.

Not sure how it can’t based on their losses. This year will be even bigger.

Yep, but this year will count as one of their 3 year cycle when they come back up. Basically they will have to be promoted again or they will be in trouble. Losses for this year will be big.

Interesting window. Personally I think we should have been spending a bit to improve the overall team rather than replacing players who have moved on. Happy with the quantity bought in but not so sure on the quality. We should have signed batth or fadz but not both. We didn’t need two aging CBs. Should have bought in a better and younger one to put pressure on Hyam. Really happy with Guaye and Ohashi but it’s very early days. Would have liked to have seen another forward on a permanent deal after we lost a 30 goal attacker from the team. There should have been money spent. I still feel we are missing a bit of pace up front. The Brighton loan is a massive one, if that works out well we could have a player who provides a similar impact to Elliot did. He’s got bags of potential and could be a key player. I do think we needed one more fast wide player though. Im a little worried at LB tbf. Think we are light there. Arguably full back isn’t our strongest position. I’m happy with the Liverpool loan but would have been an area where I would have spent money. CM seems fine. Surprised Buckley didn’t go out on loan after we bought in Baker from Stoke. Good signing for me as we now have a CM who can take a free kick and have a shot from range. We don’t have that with Tronstad and Travis. Actually think Baker will turn out to be a really good signing. Cantwell, who knows. Potentially could be the best player in the league. Got the X factor and was once a £30m plus rated player. He needs an arm around him and needs to feel loved and then potentially we may have had an absolute bargain. He could be the key to us having a decent season. So that leaves me with the keeper. Underwhelmed is probably the best description. Good keepers have been loaned or sold and we didn’t seem to push for them. I’m worried about the new keeper, great highlight reel, but so did Leo. I actually think we’ll end up playing Pears as the new lad won’t be an improvement. That worries me and I’d love to be proved wrong. Just feel that there were better options out there who had more experience. decent window though. 7 out of 10. Could be an 8 if Cantwell is a hit.
