JRC first start in 8 months and I think I would have started either Johnson or Davenport for a bit more defensive cover, whilst Trav is out.

Notepad at the ready!

Wait, why is he missing?

Odd thing to write about wanting to play him upfront with BBD and Markanday.

Really looking forward to this game. We need another win to keep up the pace. Probably looking forward to not having to deal with Rovers streaming service more! Deffo get the new lad on the bench, could be a superb impact as he should be keen to impress.

It's on the Rovers website (Rovers TV or whatever it's called) it's an 8/9min video about the new lad but talks about selling a player and reinvesting it. A player that doesn't want to be here, they showed a few Rothwell videos, assuming it isn't a coincidence.

He is a reliable source. I do wonder if Swansea have the upper hand, with him having worked with their gaffer before, even though we clearly have the league position to boast about?

JRC fit enough for RB? Be a shame to move Buckley there.

If clubs are being quoted £5m for Healey, I can't see us going for him. Even if it's a loan to buy. Only thing I could find on his contract length was on transfermarket which had it expiring in 2023 (probably wrong) £5m would seem a lot if he's in the last year of his contract come this summer.

Actually a pretty exciting signing is this. Looks like he has the potential to be some player for us.

He's also 32, not a long term solution and potentially on the decline.

Assuming Markanday signs, where does he play and how does he fit into our current system?

Yer sorry, probably from the way I worded it, I meant ditch the possession stuff. Then start to build from the back. Not ditch both the possession and the build from the back.

Yeah, it's some hit. Was rumoured to leave Southampton a few times but its never seemed to happen.

Quite remarkable for Rooney really. 8 wins and 11 draws would have them on 35 points in 11th place right now.

"Forget the possession based stuff and build from the back. Get a solid defensive base and the rest will follow", that was the cry from most of us. And look, a settled side, players in correct positions, solid defensive base, less emphasis on possession and we are sat 3rd in the league. It's easy this football management lark 😂

Yer I had the same. Fair play to them

The lack of RoversTV frustrated me and the kids wanted to go out, so didn't keep up with the last 30mins or so. Great to see an away win, I'll take a 0-1 battling performance anyday. Shame Nyambe was sent off. I guess we'll see how good Zeefuick is sooner rather than later!

Get in Joe! Fuck you RoversTV!

The last time Roverstv worked, I believe

Gateway-Timeout has scored 504 goals.

Same here Shambles

Big game today. Obviously the defeat to Wigan was in the cup but we need to put that behind us and get back to winning ways now. A classic Mowbray death spiral would be an unbelievable kick in the bollox to Rovers fans after such a promising first half of the season.

Team is as expected.
