Carter fantastic for that goal.

No surprise they equalise. Been garbage since we scored. Conceding from a cross again.

Derby know we have no pace so pushing up now. Long season ahead.

Gueye been everything Gally isn't so far. Midfielders doing well but we are piss poor out wide.

I suppose it depends whether that's 3 altogether...or 3 permanent plus loans. We need way more than 3 so that would be shite. 2-3 permanent plus 3/4 loans would cover our needs.

All seems to have gone very quiet on the transfer front.

That's not really the point - obviously you back a keeper, that performs at a consistently high standard, through a couple of wobbles. Pears has made numerous clangers and proven he isn't consistently 'good'... and is still number 1. If we sign a better keeper, he should be straight in. There are some arguing that the shirt should be Pear's to lose. In which case, it won't take long - first clanger and he's out!

Till the first howler.

1 quick player isn't enough.

It seems like only Ipswich are willing to take a punt at present. No point taking a lowish offer for the sake of it. They are likely to come straight back down so not a team he 'must' sign for. All it takes is for a couple of lower prem clubs to get early injuries and they'd likely come knocking at the end of the window Also, if Szmodic starts off in a similar vein to last year, his value will increase as he'll lose the 'one season wonder' tag. Could have far more suitors come the Jan window. Better for him and us.

I wonder if Stoke need a new keeper...

Sounds like we are playing ok but, not surprisingly, can't finish.

If he's a real handful but can't hit a barn door, is that considered an upgrade on Gallagher 🤔

Knowing Rovers they will move Pickering to cb for 'balance' and replace him with Brittain at left back to unbalance the balancing they'd done. A decent left back is a must - as well as a keeper, couple of wingers, a cm and another forward.

Need some pace throughout the team now. Pickering is the slowest full back I've seen and Brittain isn't the quickest. Not had any genuine pace in wide areas for a while now - probably Khadra the last one. None through the centre since Rothwell The new Senagalese won't be quick and neither will the Japanese lad. Siggy, Hedges, Dolan all run through treacle.

So Wednesday and Sammy not sold. Glad he's staying.

He's a defender that looks good when the team is on top but doesn't have the heart for a relegation battle. Tactically it's also likely we will be more direct this season which negates one of his 'main strengths' passing.

Lets hope one is to replace Hyam. That bloke is the antonym of the leadership/resilience we apparently need.

'pass'

Frank Stapleton wasn't bad either.

Can't be counted as a signing surely, given he was part of last year's squad. We've managed to retain a 37 yr old. Well done Rovers.

This is the problem. Jack Vale is not good enough to lead the line in the Championship. End of. Yet, the longer the wait for a signing, the more people suggest that he may be ok. Waggott must be pissing himself.

That guy has to be a dingle. Nobody is that stupid...
