I can see why Man City let JRC go at such a young age now.

Tidy player, but just lacks that yard of pace you'd need at the top level to be a consistent threat. 

Agree. Reminds me a lot of Paul Gallagher.  No pace but a technically clever player.

[Fraserkirky]

3/4 signings and we are capable of top 6.

Playing well so far, good to see Kaminski putting his balls on the line for us already. Some power on the Johnson effort. JRC is not a striker or a wide forward. Trav and Holtby doing well in the middle.

Up to 5th! This is our year...!

I do think we are missing mobility in the middle with Holtby and Johnson, especially when Bournemouth are on the counter.

No probs, Benno will sort that.

No criticism of Kaminsky on their goal- that was as good a strike from 25 yards as we are likely to see in a Rovers game all season.

Great to be back in it but Johnson had not inspired before that strike.

We lack conviction in the final third but otherwise this is very promising.

Bring Dolan on to inject pace and I think the Bournemouth defence will struggle.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Kaminski been decent so far.  No jitters and decent kicking.

We look much better with JRC playing wide right than we have as a team in a while. He provides great balance to the team.

With this defence we will need to score at least 2 more to win. Particularly when Bennett is shoehorned in somewhere.

Part of the problem is we've got another Jordan Rhodes upfront. A #9 who provides v. little but goals. Beggars can't be choosers, obviously, but it hurts your attacks. Added to that we have no aerial threat upfront, so everything has to intricately overplayed.

Was that before or after Man United let him go?

Shit defending. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

[SoldierMo]

Fuk sakeee why the hell has he switched brereton and jrc joke of a manager

[Displaced Rover]

This team is 3 defenders short of a play off push... as it is 15th...

[matt83]

Every bloody game need to score 3

[bluebruce]

Knew a goal was coming from that attack about 30 seconds before it did. We were all at sea.

Not really Kaminski's fault, it was lashed and he wasn't perfectly sighted, but he really needs to get a save in for everyone to feel more confident.

[Waggy76]

Dreadful defending , Lenihan ?

 

[USABlue]

Mowbray works his usual HT magic.
