Yeah, it's gone back to being quite concerning tbh. But it does seem like the CB deal was kept under wraps for a few weeks before any journo's got word? Stuff deffo must be happening, the bids for the Peterborough lad only came into the public domain because their owner blabbed about it. It's the complete void of links/news that gets filled with concern which is a problem (for us fans at least) A new signing this week would be a big boost for all before the season kicks off.

Yeah he'll definitely start. The only way he won't is if there is an actual, decent offer on the table. Which I don't think there will be.

1-1 seems like a reasonable shout at this stage. We don't often win on the opening day, QPR also have a new gaffer, so probably getting a bit of a bounce like us (Hopefully)

Yeah loan

Nope

When was the last time we held an open training session? Or do we do it every year and I somehow miss it? (This is highly likely)

Sounds like Brown is set to be loaned out following the arrival of Brittain and Magloire is deemed surplus to requirements by JDT and looks to be set for the exit as well. Could be a loan or a permanent but I think he's in his last year of his contract so either way, should be the end of his Rovers career.

Shame if Styles opts for Besiktas but can't really blame him tbh. Would have liked us to sign him but we'll just have to see who else is lined up.

JDT says he knows what the starting 11 will be for the QPR opener. Dack won't be in it, as he's not fit enough. He's got some decisions to make up top and at centre back. No idea if he's looking at a back 3 or 4. If it's a 4, I reckon it will be Ayala and Wharton with Carter missing out. Upfront, Vale has put a good case forward due to his decent pre season. Obviously BBD will start and Buckley and Trav in the middle are guarantees. Anyone hazarding a guess to the formation/lineup? I reckon: ---------------------Kaminski Brittain-----Ayala----Wharton---Pickering ------------Trav--------------Buckley ----------------------Dolan Gallagher--------Vale-----------BBD

Dacky!

Phillips off Brittain on

Bit of a worrying preseason theme really. My hope is, it's because it's been mixed teams for each game for the most part

And against Hartlepool too.

Would be a class signing. Seems to reckon it would take about £3m though, so can't see that happening.

Yeah really hoping we land Styles. Deffo don't want to bring in a loan if it ends our interest in him.

Did you say this with Style? 😎 Or just hope?

Yeah it's YouTube (Pineapple head flash backs) but he looks like he'd be a class signing! Deffo hoping we pull this deal off!!

It looks that way, yeah. I thought I read something after one of the pre season games, JDT saying he wanted to play 3 across the middle but didn't have enough players to do it with 2 different teams playing. I'm probably muddling it up with something else tbh.

I think JDT is looking at 3 across the middle. Thought he said he couldn't put 3 across the middle because he didn't have enough players to do it across 2 games?

Chaddys meeting with Waggot has been the turning point, no doubt about it.

Also, new title thread

We're bidding more than £1m according to that, so must have a reasonable budget if we are spending on this guy and Brittain. (Unless that's all we have 🙈)

So that's RB sorted, what's next? CM? CB?

Good start to our summer signings! RB was a problem and looks like we've actually resolved it.
