This is the crux of it. Waggott had complete autonomy to appoint Eustace. This time he is part of a committee including Suhail and Gestede.

Similarly it shouldn’t be understated just how good Dolan was for the first. Not just the touch back into Forshaw but the fact he played the ball in to Brittain to start the move on the halfway line, then got to the 6 yard box to knock it back. Not often you see 60 yards covered in a 1-2!

Date TBC, we have requested a date so waiting to hear back.

No, didn’t really expect anything as yet. We expect it will come up in our next official MOU meeting.

Everyone at Rovers, except one person, refers to the club as “we”. That other person refers to VH Group as “we”.

Absolutely not true. Waggott has been broaching the subject of bringing it back under club ownership, but that will depend on 2 things. 1. The EFL compliance people allowing it 2. Venky’s doing the right thing

We won’t come up against a worse side defensively all season than Plymouth. We wouldn’t have had to be anywhere near our best to score 4 today. Unfortunately of the starting 11 only Pears and Pickering should be able to look themselves in the mirror (although Carter got ruined at full back he looked a lot better in his actual position). Every other player who started gets a 3/10 at best. Should probably have been 5 changes at half time.

I’ve seen it’s cropped up again lately on a few threads. There is obviously quite a bit of resistance to digital tickets, and getting all the discussion in one place seems sensible. I’m not sure how aware everyone is of the following… https://www.premierleague.com/news/4071456 But the Premier League are fast moving towards digital only tickets, and you’d expect the EFL to want to follow.

It’s a fair assumption. While Macron have made some very nice looking bespoke designs for our kits the quality of all their stuff is always questionable.

Agreed on all of those except Hyam. I thought he looked dreadful when anyone ran at him. Beaten in the air too often and when he did win his headers several went 6 feet in the air and 6 inches forward.

Carter defended excellently throughout. He was snuffing out danger early and had his opposing winger completely in his pocket. After their subs Heckingbottom quickly realised Holmes was getting no joy and switched him over to their right, and he caused Beck issues. He went about his business quietly and effectively, and used the ball better than anyone else. I want to see him moved centrally again as soon as possible though, he’s by far our most athletic defender and is streets ahead of Hyam. I think him and Batth could be a good partnership. No slight on Pears who was very good overall, some good saves (although not spectacular), but I’d agree with some of the comments around his distribution being questionable.

Both he and Duru were out for the warm up but didn’t make the bench. He’s just quite a way down the pecking order I presume.

Couple of PNE fans I’ve spoken to where impressed with Travis

Carter for me

Completely incompetent without VAR backing him up. It happens every time.
