JacknOry Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 We seem to have a decent connection with City, wonder if they will let us loan Sterling? On another note, not sure this looks good for the career of Fisher. 1 Quote

I can imagine after the int. break we’ll see some bench appearances Its difficult giving a defender minutes off the bench though which may be a problem. I would guess that he will get an hour or a full game (or a couple) between now and that first game after the break, either for the reserves or in a friendly or two. Assuming Gallagher is fit enough for the bench on Saturday, and obviously with a gap, a friendly or two in that 2 weeks might help to get a few up to speed. Quote

I’m just going off what’s been said, about his fitness and his own words. Quote

True, I just think it easier to give attacking players cameos, rarely do you see a centre back coming on for 20 minutes unless its in addition to the defenders already to hold onto a league. The 2 week gap might come at a good time in terms of arranging a friendly or two to get minutes into Ayala, Gallagher, and maybe a few on the fringes like Davenport, Buckley, Chapman etc. Quote

He’s to “push Aidan Downing” in the Under 18’s. He’s 16 years old, he’s not going to be part of the 23’s. Fisher - 1st Team Sub Keeper Hilton/Eastham - U23’s Keeper Dowling/New Lad - U18’s Keeper Quote

Fisher - 1st Team Sub Keeper Hilton/Eastham - U23’s Keeper Dowling/New Lad - U18’s Keeper yeah, so, as i said, hardly good news for Fisher. Highly rated, Munich were after him, he wont be a sub keeper. He will go ahead of Dowling. All pushed upwards, so Fisher is under real pressure now. Quote

philipl Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Rovers started well. Leicester came back. Chances few and far between but if we can make our pace count we should score here. Quote

Quite entertaining game so far, know its only u23's and he is not fully match fit but Ayala looks composed on the ball and distribution looks good. Edited September 28, 2020 by perthblue02 Quote
roversfan99 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Dont tend to watch the under 23s but stuck the first half on once it became clear that Fulham Villa was over and having seen the team. Rovers primary attacking threat was Chapman, when he came in loan he was a bag of energy and pace, he definitely has lost a bit of pace but there is some substance to him and quality. Burns and Mols wouldnt really scare you as a defender. Buckley not as influential as youd want IMO. Hard to judge Ayala in a game like this because his worth comes in proper games facing proper men, but hes very vocal and looks like a senior pro playing with kids who just knows where to be and invariably is in the right place.

Fraserkirky Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I just watched the most cringeworthy commercial with Jamie Vardy talking to his Thai penpal. Don’t think I can unwatch that 2 Quote

Cherry Blue Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Thomson scores 1 0. Went in off Leicester defender. Quote
Don Said Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Very impressed with Buckley’s range of passing and ability to find space when on the ball tonight Quote
only2garners Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 3-0. Two from Conor McBride minutes after coming on as a sub (and he has had time to miss another good chance). Buckley played a gorgeous chip into the box but whoever he played it to didn't pick it - he would have been through on goal. 1 Quote
