Excellent, day off the work here. Will be tuning into that. Cheers

How many times have teams been in for Josh King this summer, someone hurry up and bite the bullet!

I think it’s Rothwell

Don’t think anyone is banking on anything here, just that the team we see before us is much improved. Everything has sped up and we are pressing high up constantly. It’s absolutely fantastic to watch. If you can’t get excited about it, what’s the point?

So that team yesterday still has Ayala, Travis and Dack to come in. Arguably the best three players at the club. That is insane. We also have Buckley who is def ready to play a role, and Gallagher who has been poor but will still be useful off the bench you hope. Folk on here saying yeah but Wycombe and Darby are relegation fodder. These are the exact teams that we have not put away in the past. We also played Newcastle and Bournemouth off the park. Anyone who has watched Rovers consistently over the past few years, like every game, will tell you this is the best Rovers side: formation and personnel wise that we have had since we came down. Loans it is which is fine. Left back and GK please. Everyone played well yesterday, but Rothwell and Brereton have really stepped up a level this season. Breretons touch at times yesterday was immense.

Should be 5 or 6

What on earth is Lenihan doing that for-when it’s 3 vs 1.

Absolutely, never been this close.

The midfield three have been absolutely sensational

Jozwiak is the only one that looks remotely good enough in this Derby team.

Rothwell and Brereton, both are playing really well for us.

Poor side from Derby

JRC is a very good young player, and all rounder. Think he is very overrated on here though. If Ryan is fit he should be first name on the team sheet for me. Mental stuff, and it all points to a contract being rejected.

Yeah show me 6 months at the very least. Edit: Just checked and the share price has actually increased over the last 6 months.

Somebody is going to have to sit out for Buckley pretty soon, is what its looking like.

Yeah, this is the balance we are close to having, the squad has been trimmed and there is a great opportunity now for the academy guys to make the break through. Vale, Butterworth, Carter, Magloire, Mols, Brennan, Thompson, Pike, the list goes on. All with a chance to get into the squad this year. The under 23s just beat the Man City equivalent, be great to see more coming through. Buckley was unreal on Saturday when he came on and looks the pick off the bunch. But.... We absolutely need a quality Left-Back, and Ryan Manning would be a terrific signing, at a great age, cracking left foot. A no brainer. Last year of deal, so you would think it wouldn't be that much. See he is Irish as well, nice with Lenihan and Williams back there. We need back up goalie. I am fine with no other business.

Really nice having Buckley waiting in the wings. Run the same team that started on Saturday, hopefully Ayala and....Manning make the bench.

Haha yeah probably best he doesn’t go there. Like hey look at all the cash I’ve blown in the past, wonder why there is no more.

Perfectly possible we met with Manning on Thursday and agreed a deal, and now QPR and/or agents are being dinks about the price.

It was Buckley, and that was a world class ball.

So we have played the easiest and hardest fixtures of the season in the first two games. We were much closer to Bournemouth than Wycombe, if that’s any indicator to future fortunes. Got to give a shout out to Brad Johnson, I’m usually pelting the guy, but he had a cracking game today. Joe Rothwell was outstanding in midfield, harshly subbed but whatever. Amazing run in the first half where he travelled 40yards in about 2secs, Wycombe had no idea what to do with him.

I think Armstrong has added another 5m to his value already this season. And Dolan is a gift from the gods, he is valuable already. Potential Cashback on Raya, and the long awaited Josh King money hopefully. We have added to asset column, and should have some unexpected revenue shortly. I really think this team is close to being top 6 material. Sign Manning, and loan a GK and quality CM from somewhere. If there is ever a time to go for it Venkys, this is it.

What a Brucie Bonus this Dolan lad is

Buckley’s passing ??

I hate to complain, but why leave Holtby out there with his injury history and take Rothwell off??
