Yeah definitely. Although I hate Newcastle and want them to fail unceremoniously with their new found wealth, the top 6 were quick to get some new rules pushed through to stop Newcastle spending stupid amounts. Pretty sure they were the main reasons the Newcastle takeover was delayed for so long.

Yeah I read that. What was it? Premier League will chuck us a few more scraps from the table but we had to be contractually obliged to play some of their U23's, develop them and get very little in return. "Greed has ruined football", never a truer word has been spoken.

The footballing pyramid is class isn't it......

.

Not seen anything but neither him nor Brown have a squad number, so guessing a move for each is lined up

Magloire left the club for Northampton on a permanent deal.

It was a fun hour, whilst it lasted.

Bowler would be a great signing. Can't get too excited over a random twitter account claiming it to be happening though.

They've raked in quite a lot of cash through sales this summer as well. Did i see they've just flogged another player for £20m to Everton? That's their business so far, don't know all of them but i'm sure we would have welcomed THB, Cullen and Twine here with open arms?

Just us and Norwich that have 2 or less. Admittedly though, that's a quick glance and you would assume that not all the signings listed are first team ones. https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/12631265/transfer-news-summer-transfer-window-2022-championship-ins-and-outs

I want another ban on Mercer betting on Rovers, or at least posting about it. Stopped for a season when we were in league one and look what happened. Take one for the team.

Yeah, I appreciate that the club will be working to bring signings in, no doubts. The bids that went public and the CB deal being kept under wraps are evidence that plenty of stuff is going on behind the scenes. It would be good to get another through the door before the QPR game though.

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.
