I can't completely rationalise it but the Hedges miss and Leonard air kick gave me nightmares last night.

Apparently the Glazers are now refusing to sell for less than £10 bn. Couldn't happen to a nicer club or set of fans.

Today settled Leo as number 1 keeper for the Boro game. Goal 2 was preventable and goal 3 a keeping calamity.

With 9 on the bench and 5 available to be used, subs benches are tactical. With a two week break coming up, JDT might well go the 90 minutes using no subs. The players are fit enough.

Absolutely must do.

We face points deduction and visits from the Police and Home Office Visa Unit if some of them start this afternoon!

Just seen it- what was TK thinking?

Fantastic effort by the 1,000 travelling fans. Here is to the last old look Rovers signing off with a win before Ennis, Sigurddson and the last two day's signings are available.

X where X =>1<10 I guess Souey's Lady Luck was a last day attempted signing. Did the EFL accept the paperwork?

Strongest eleven is literally ? ? Carter Hyam ? ? Adam Wharton ??? ? Bench ????????? Coach JDT 'Tother Coach Van Hool 14 meter 6 wheeler

And in 148 years, other Rovers teams have never travelled to such hapless opposition? And we made 10 changes. 10 of our's had less than 20 appearances between them. Apologise

I have documented the reasons why the biggest away win in the club's history is so exceptional and uniquely down to JDT's coaching.

I watched the Rovers TV recording of the game in full and what an absolute pleasure and delight. Only our corner routines not working marred the spectacle. We were relentless from start to finish. Every player won individual battles and there was enough positional sense and awareness to get two players around virtually any threat before they developed. Receiving on the half turn, turning with the ball and passing accuracy was superb throughout. Buckley masterclass in central midfield. Markanday really intelligent play on the right. In summary flawless JDT ball with the ball moving crisply all the time. Really liked how players were close or behind recipients so we didn't lose possession cheaply. All players knew where to move to so even blind passes found their man. All this AND + 5 players including keeper Leo making debuts + Moran first start + Gilsenan second appearance + Tronstad fifth appearance + Markanday seventh appearance (spread over 18 months) + Garrett I haven't counted but if he has as much as 800 first team minutes behind him, I would be amazed + Scott Wharton, Buckley and even Gally short on recent game time. To have a second eleven set up to play like a well oiled machine which can take a professional Football League team apart in those circumstances is little short of miraculous! All the goals were class and had their keeper guessed low and chip in a different order when facing one on ones at the end it would have been 10. I don't get the impression the magnitude of this achievement is registering with our fans.

After Harrogate, wondering if JDT isn't the best since Kenny Dalglish.

Found out about the signing completed here and not on the transfer thread! Glad we have 4 central defenders who have played senior games. Sacrilege but Hill being available as a sub is almost certainly a better option in the coming weeks than Ash would have been. Having seen Aitcheson, we have a new Phillips at least in precocious physique!

The Cardiff game has been entered by Rovers in my calendar for Tuesday 26th.

Whilst out for my morning swim, it suddenly struck me I haven't woken up after a Rovers 8-0 victory before. Really really nice feeling. 🤩

Great draw. Good level of opponents at home for the youngsters to measure themselves against and a decent chance of progressing.

Over to GB and Swag to talk their way to a bigger transfer budget. Couldn't wish for a better pre-meal game!

Swag's new coach is bigger than that stand.

JDT has said on Rovers TV it won't be a complete change of eleven. So I guess Brittain starts but at right back with Pickering left and one of Hyam and Carter will be alongside Scott Wharton. Leo, Morton, Gally, Buckley will be involved (=starting?)

Leeds were the only "shock" of the night so chances are if we make it to Round 3, the draw could be a bit of a challenge..

Rak-Sakyi one of 3 pulled off after 55 minutes. Within 6 minutes a 2 goal deficit had become 3-2 Palace and Palace eventually won 4-2

Plymouth winning 1-0 and the minute by minute reads like it is a stroll. Rak-Sakyi is playing them on his own- no other Palace players getting a mention!

Plymouth fielding a much weakened side v Palace tonight. Includes Wright and Wright- no initials.
