I am fully aware of the players we had mate. I am comfortable with either formation. Sorry but pre season is an indicative of how we will play formation wise, player positions, etc

when you mean nobody else, do you mean signing wise or wide signing wise? striker wise I would be looking at Sam Winnall(linked with Sheff Utd recently), Sam Gallagher, Tom Bradshaw, Ivan Toney, Adam Armstrong I understood your points fine thanks. What are you expecting as 4th choice centre back? Do you even know much about Kyle McFadzean or what type of season he had last season? if you don't how can you even make an assessment? I feel Bennett is very decent at right back/wing back and that's where I see him playing. Centre midfield wise we have enough there. We got Smallwood, Davenport, Evans, Whittingham, Travis, Rothwell. We have enough there. For me, we don't need a right back. I don't worry because we will sign players and maybe I a lot of faith in Mowbray and the way he doesn't rush into making decision or rash choices and process he thinks about things. I don't understand why people are even negative at this stage of the season for. doesn't make sense to me at all. no-one is blinkered at all but different people look at things very differently.

Wonder who this striker is? Great news about Dack.

I could see us using 3 at the back in some games and with Bennett and Bell both able to get up and down the pitch is a bonus. Smallwood and Davenport sitting in front of the back 3 with Dack in 10 role. the question is will we play with another midfielder or 2 strikers.

Game finish 1-1

Firstly, sorry for missing your reply to me. I would be looking to sign Chapman(who could be cheap) and then loan Kent so we have 2 wingers there that allow us to play 4-2-3-1 if Mowbray wants. But I would be looking to spend the most of the budget on a striker. who I don't know tbh. Some people have been asking for experience centre back to be sign and now we being linked with one and still people moan. that's my point I haven't turn my nose up at Maddison, I just think the fee is too much for our budget and Peterborough want it all up front. I would be looking to spend of my budget on a striker. Unlikely Graham will be fit all season. So we need a striker. On Kent he has played a full season at this level and he has played under Mowbray at Coventry I haven't seen Davenport played and all I know is he was on loan at Burton last season and from reports he performed. supposedly he has played well today according to Rovers twitter account. not been in either match day squad so far no need for the personal attack at all. its a great shame that's your attitude. He didn't play the last 6 games as he wasn't selected. 4 times on the bench where he didn't come on. Started 6 games were he got 2 assists and come off the bench in 4 games. why do we need a right back when Bennett has played right back/wing back in both games so far.

I think we are better set up to play 3 at the back this season. Bennett and Bell as wing backs. Smallwood and Davenport in middle with Dack in hole with either 1 or 2 strikers in front. second half we are playing 4-1-4-1 with Davenport in front of the back 4. so its seems Mowbray will use back systems this season.

Six changes for #Rovers at the break. Off: Mulgrew, Lenihan, Williams, Evans, Smallwood and Conway. On: Nyambe, Bell, Wharton, Downing, Davenport and Whittingham.

1 nil Port Vale. Mulgrew own goal.

Bennett playing right back again today at Port Vale.. No Caddis, Gladwin or Hart in the squad Do you know the reasons why he wasnt in Bristol City squad? Was it an injured or personal reasons or just form

Danny Graham and Jayson Leutwiler miss out for Rovers with slight knocks.

Did i say this?

Let me say this again I am here to talk Rovers and football topics. so please stop implying so. Has Woodburn ever played in the championship? Why would you just try for the sake off to sign a player when its unlikely we could sign them? seems like a waste of time to myself. I expect Wilson to go to Rangers on loan shortly.

Kent has skills and tricky plus has championship experience in the past. He impress me when he played against Rovers twice in the season 16/17 for Barnsley Maddison hasn't got the championship experience and can I say for the record I have never post that I don't like him. so that's is incorrect information. If we did sign Maddison I wouldn't be unhappy at all but could he step up and the for the money we would be paying we would need him to

who says these will be Premier League youngsters? it could be Adam Armstrong and Ryan Kent who have experience at this level. or possible Cardiff City Striker Omar Bogle who I would suggest is within our budget so could be permanent signing and someone I wouldn't be against it.

we need a back up centre back not a first team choice one. People have asked for experience centre back and we been linked with one and people moaned. who are we expecting? we are after 4 more players in. expecting these to be 1 centre back, 1/2 wingers, 1 striker and? why not trust the manager and stop pre judging players we haven't see play much like Downing was. He was written off by some when he signed here. Antonsson barley played since January and Chapman barely played more than a third of the season. and Armstrong replace Antonsson in January in the team. So its barely more 1 player tbh. I agree we need a winger or 2 but these have to be the right players. Mowbray has said he wants 4 more. 2 permanent and 2 loans signings. How many championship clubs have signed more than 2 players then? Ive been saying this that the fee Charlton want is unacceptable and a joke tbh I think we will sign a couple of players permanently for a million each I've heard it almost agree between Dack and the club I don't think we are after Maddison at all. just my opinion.

Thats what MK.dons said about Downing. And look how that turn out

I agree with the Rose sub for Young. I did comment that the only sub I didn't agree with was the Vardy one. This is a young team and we will learn from this and only get better. we have a very bright future and some of the players coming through and a couple of players who Southgate didn't pick this time we will have a good chance of winning the Euro's. didn't agree that Croatia was the first decent team we come up against as we played 3 teams before who have been more than decent

McFadzean played in 42 games last season and majority he was a starter in those games. so doesn't sound pass it to me doesn't? If you look at Burton manager comment about Burton transfer policy this summer is one player must leave before one can come in. Look at who reported the story. wasn't just anyone but some one who worked at Rovers previously and still hold the club and fans in high regarded. don't see him reporting gossip. do you? Also can you explained this comment " Lets hope the signings we make are of a higher calibre than those linked" . like who are you expecting us to sign? yes we do have money as we have signed 2 players for cash but no one did I say we had a war chest of money did I? can you prove I said this about us having a war chest correct both Rothwell and Davenport will be 1st team squad. some people must have thought we were going to spend millions of pounds On Smallwood, very pleased he signed a new contract and deserved after last season and his performances

didn't watch the Wigan Man City game as I was at Ewood Park supporting my team against Bury.

Smallwood new contract is a 2 year contract. The video produced was very good
