Pre season 23/24

Great to hear about Phillips, does make we question the Batth signing (if he signs). Do we really need another body at CB with Haym, Carter, Wharton, Phillips and Burns. If he comes one must go.

Spare a thought for those Rovers fans that now go and watch Accy Stanley. Must be a truly confusing day for those turncoats….

Think Sam Barnes may go on loan for first half of season to get game time. Think he may be our main man at cb season after next. He is some talent that lad

1-0 down in the second game.

Oh dear, a Pears howler and we are one down.

Kam down. Ok I'll stop now.

Along with Phillips wearing 15 in the first game, those number changes may be quite telling for the coming season (assuming that the numbers used will be the same as the squad numbers when announced.  Any chance of Adam Wharton getting 4 and Sigurdsson 7?

Phillips and Pickering the stand outs according to Sharpe and Jackson.

Not sure Ash can be held back much longer 

He'll be eased in. He'll play in early rounds of League Cup and be a fairly regular sub for Championship games.  I'd think they'd have talked to him and agreed a schedule. Hope so!

As long as the agreed schedule includes a new 5 year contract, then I can get behind it

It would help!

If the weather at the Wham Stadium's anything like it is in BB2 at the moment, serious respect to anyone who's there.

(I would have been; but I'm 77 and recuperating from surgery.)

Can they truly be "Rovers fans" any more??

Just asking.

Some of them are probably still Rovers ... especially the older ones !

I don't mind the Batth signing - it's always good to bring in quality - but if funds are tight and we're clearly 2 short up front it seems odd.

[G Somerset Rover]

2-0.

Sounds like S Wharton has continued where he left off from last season in making a big error everytime he’s on the pitch.

Finished 0-0.

2-0 down now. Scott Wharton making a hash of things and giving away a pen.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Then maybe funds arnt as tight as we all think - or it could be a freebie.

Hedges with one back. 2-1
