You mean won 3-0 (as obviously the Rovers media team won’t have got something that simple incorrect).

Christ that's embarrassing. It doesn't really matter, but it's so basic a thing to get wrong.

It's not even a hour anymore, it's everything they do. If anyone from the Rovers is reading this, could I have a job as a proof reader. I would do it for a free season ticket, no money involved, very cheap.

Amateur decade (and a bit).

Only a class player can make plays like that. He knew where the ball was going way before it arrived.

His passing is special.

Yep, you can't coach that, its simply innate class!

Newspapers linked him with effing Spuds a few days ago. I'd hate another player go to those blow hards.

[rock steady]

He doesn't yet have the complete game and can frustrate, but I think we have to enjoy him whilst he is here. 

I think he will be in the Prem next season with or more likely without us.

Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle have all had him watched in recent weeks. 

[philipl]

He produced Hollywood passes in both of the last two games- only Szmodics v Birmingham turned one into a goal.

Looking forward to Adam getting within 30 yards of goal and passing one of these into the net.

[roverblue]

Wednesday night was his best performance of the season for me.
 

Got it right 9 times out of 10 and set up a wonderful goal. Still got work to do to contribute more defensively but a real gem of a player. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

He didn’t even have to look, he just knew where to pass that ball. It’s really hard to play against players like that, they don’t give you a clue what they’re going to do with the ball and they rarely do the obvious thing.

Thanks for capturing that and going to the trouble of sharing it - that was the highlight of the game for me, it was just beautiful to watch, had people off their feet in the Riverside.

JRC said in a recent interview that Adam has a terrific disguise on his passes. That is a perfect example.

For old timers - the new Jim Baxter ?

The LT gave him a 6 😆

New deal until 2028.

[Mattyblue]

Proper charlatan that GB…

[superniko]

Just really hoping there isn’t some low buy out clause in the contract like Phillips had (appreciate they’re very different scenarios so I doubt it).

Great news though assuming there is no curve ball like that. If only we had some form of budget the last 12 months to add to the very good pieces we already have

[MarkBRFC]

Only a one year extension to his current deal.

[Mattyblue]

Where’s the issue? He’s now one of the side’s top players, not an academy grad breaking through, so deserves a contract to recognise that, an extra year of protection for the club to boot.

Win, win, no?

He was already under contract till 26 or 27, presumably this new deal is about rewarding him and upping his money.I can't see there being any low release clause, if he had one in his deal that he signed last year surely we would have heard about clubs meeting it by now

[MarkBRFC]

No issues here, anything that strengthens our position with him is welcome.

Probably just not used to such announcements and fanfair for a 1 year deal on someone we were well protected with anyway!

[Polky]

Makes sense to award him with a new deal, with him being regular starter this season.

Only an additional year on his old deal, but means the club are protected if a Premier League club comes knocking.

[arbitro]

He is now a regular first teamer so hopefully this gives him parity with others. There will probably be other clauses which protect both parties as most contracts have now.
