I think we have to forget about nyambe. Definitely need better than brown and JRC though 

We'd struggle to find better at this level and there's no transfer fee.

Hopefully some of the players have been texting him saying it's night and day to Mowbray.

I think he was being facetious but the jibe was misplaced imo as Nyambe is as good a full back as you will get at Championship level whereas Carter is a CH filling in at RB.

I disagree if he learned to cross the ball I might agree😅

Pickering and Carter definitely not good enough. 2 new fullbacks has to be priority this season.

[neophox]

Jota is a world class player.

[Exiled_Rover]

Wanking over that Jota trick when he did nothing with the ball. Our defence reset and nullified it.

[neophox]

Two good chances for Rovers....first Gally and then Diaz...

[Exiled_Rover]

I'm going to look at their transfer history later, but they've just brought on a £4m Argentinian sub and Dundee's first choice GK last season.

Riches we can only dream of these days.

That chance of BBD's should have been a goal.

[OsloRover]

Vale is doing a lot right today, I don’t think he will be out of place in our first team this season.

[Miller11]

Nyambe can’t cross… well Pickering can’t defend or run. I wonder what the biggest hinderance to a full back is?

[AspRover]

This is presumably not far off the highest standard of opposition that Carter and Vale have faced in their careers right? And Carter out of position too, they've done fine. Don't particularly want Carter to be first choice right back for the entire season, but I'll take him in the squad no probs.

This is also Celtic's 4 pre-season game, while most of our players has 60 min from Accrington.

Worryingly though our season starts in 2 weeks, hope we have enough games to get sharp

Eh…Nyambes final ball may not of been the best but running forward I don’t think you could get a better RB in the championship? 

He’d make a cracking linesman  

[neophox]

Look at Celtic bench...mega bucks...

[Dan]

What the hell did Mowbray see in Pickering? Does he have any family from Middlesbrough? 

[neophox]

Vale has done very well today...he will be in and around the team for sure.
