It's a big loan for him tbh. He's flattered to deceive in his Rovers career so far and he failed on loan at Aberdeen. He's not been able to become a consistent figure under 3 different Rovers managers either. He should be able to tear league 2 apart but I have my doubts he will do.

😂 that's class. His cheesy face makes it look like he's photo bombed you!

An excellent win, although I feel for the Stockport fans after needing to make 10 changes and then getting another injury.

Be mad not to give Gueye 45mins, surely?

Dare I say, his first touch looks really quite poor.

Ours is the only game I can't see on the skysports app?

This was my thinking. Trying to turn Buckley into something useful because he's going to be needed throughout the season as it stands. Assume it's a motivational tactic.

Sammy does indeed start

Hopefully we can get a couple of goals and bring Tyjon on for the last 20-30mins

Ha, yeah I realised after that he was playing wing back previously. Markanday could probably make way for him further up the pitch and maybe start Duru at RB.

Kaminski is most welcome to jump ship back to Ewood! Sad times that The Dingles look good. Probably be right in their groove when they play us 😟

Wouldn't be surprised to see Big Mac, Yuki, Hedges, Batth, Weimann and Fadz all start and play at least 60mins for match fitness. Buckley & Markanday maybe starting also. ‐----------------------Pears Weimann---Fadz----Batth----Pickering ---------------Buckley---Tronstad Markanday--------Yuki----Hedges -----------------------Big Mac

I thought our assistant manager was a set piece specialist? Or 1 of the staff JE brought in anyway?

Do you know what the reason for it was? Seems odd that he would go through all pre season just to Jack it in after 1 game.

Surely, that novelty has worn off now?

Came here to post this same tweet. Why on earth do people keep giving Rooney managerial jobs? 😂

I reckon we'll have 2 lists of targets. Nothing will be done until after 20th August though. Szmodics to be sold and either we spend a bit, if the owners win the case. Or, the Szmodics fee goes into running costs and we go for our B list, which is mainly free/cheap transfers or loans only, should they lose in court. Edit: post wasn't written well.

I don't know when Ipswich get their Premier League money, or how much of its in installments but I'm struggling to see them not paying the £500k to land Szmodics. It's peanuts to them either way now. Bizarre that they would hold off on a deal, making him miss all their pre season as well as ours just for £500k.

Wouldn't go as far as to call him rubbish but he needs a good amount of consistent game time to see where he is. Certainly wouldn't be writing him off just yet.

Leonard leaving on loan would be good. He needs games.

Solanke has gone to Spurs for £65m. World has gone mad.

This has Venkys/Waggott/Suhail dragging this out till the last minute to stop us spending any money written all over it.

Travis was excellent. I rate him a lot more than most on here, I get that he's limited in technical ability but he's a good championship player. Also glad to see him have the armband again.

Great result and some good goals scored as well. I think it's fair to say though, without Szmodics, we'll struggle. They'll need to reinvest more than £100k of his transfer fee.
