Have we had any explanation from anywhere (Crooke, Sharpe etc.) As to where Ayala, Chapman, Rothwell are?

1-1

What formation/lineup are we playing?

F*%# me back to exploring with Wing Backs out of the blue. 
Leeds commentary too, I paid for the livenow video thinking that was the Leeds commentary, then paid again for the rovers one to get our commentary…..

It's ok, we've spent the last 2 seasons playing the way we want.

Why wouldn't we play multiple different formations throughout preseason this time?

Christ knows what the plan is these days.

At a guess?

Cheers.

Starting 2 left backs. You can tell Mowbray is back.

The state of that lineup. The so called 'journey' has led us to this. Absolutely abysmal.

Basically this.

That line up tells you all you need to know about the utter crap Mowbray has been spouting for the last few years.

Who's Garrett, anyway?

A knock, now ill, isolation next.... 

Probably Swansea (or a.n.other championship team) after that.

I wonder if we don't sell him, would it be in Armstrong's interest to sign a year extension?  If he gets an injury like Dacks, he could really be left in no man's land 

 

He'll be fine either way as Mowbray would just hand him a new contract (1 year) to recover and get paid by us.

Sorry did someone say this game will be streamed by Rovers?

Can't understand why we're remotely interested in a player who played 44 times for a side that went down last reason.

Shows our lack of ambition I guess. 

Because he played for Boro

If we do sign Reach, he should be played as a left winger, thats where he is best.

And therefore will play literally anywhere but there.

No Rothwell in that video

For once, just once could we not just sign a player who has no previous connections to either Mowbray or Boro (or both!)!!

Got to that part of the article, rolled my eyes and scrolled straight past.

LT reporting Watford have bid 15 Million?...would be gobsmacked if we have turned that down.

I can't see us turning that down. I doubt anyone would be coming in with a bigger offer than that.

I'm going to make a random assumption and guess it might be Travis (hope I'm wrong) 

Just make this summer even more depressing.

I could see it as well.

Don’t know who it is in all honesty , being kept hush hush 

Ah, no worries.

Cheers for the info.

An incoming , working away at personal terms , close to an agreement 

Decent signing, in your opinion?

Away kit is an absolute beaut.

Mowbray leaving and starting the season with Venus as manager would be real old school Venkys. Wouldn't be surprised

If that happened, and I wouldn't put anything past Venkys, get your mortgage on us being relegated.

Some really negative fans on here. Sacked Mowbray, relegated us and put us into liquidation before a balls been kicked. So if we beat Leeds on Wednesday, does that mean we will get promoted? 

Signings take time even loan ones, there will be bodies through the door. Hopefully it doesn't go to deadline day again. But if it does so be at as long as they're the right players. 

No one is saying we are off down because we lost a pre season friendly.

Its because we have a paper thin, injury prone squad, a terrible manager, no signings (not even a rumour of a signing).

Not the only member of staff on his way.

Who else is off?

On 24/07/2021 at 19:57, Bigdoggsteel said:

That is worrying. I think he has lost the players

You can just imagine him being too stubborn to accept any blame for last season and the players losing what respect they had for him. 

 

There can't have have been many (if any) fans, coaches, players, even Mowbray himself, who believed he would still be in the job when the season ended, after such a horrific run towards the end.

You could imagine that some of the players were a little disheartened to see him still in the job when they reported back for pre season training.

Any score? 

Yep, we are 1-0 down.

Ayala gave away a pen and they scored from it.
