Not really. In my opinion.

The budget has been cut by the owners, he had a meeting with JDT this morning, we have plenty of youngsters that will get opportunities - nobody rated JRC and Pears before they got their chance and they’ve shown they’re good players. 

The owners need to leave

[rigger]

Their third goal was a good finish, but they went the length of the pitch without a tackle being put in.

girona are a good side,what what iv`e seen  our usual weakness of having nothing up front is evident,ffs just sign a centre forward,there must be one who`s out of contract and looking for a club

The weaknesses of having nothing upfront (albeit I think Leonard has done ok) and no pace out wide - they're just walking past Pickering and JRC at FB. 

[Colt Seavers]

JRC looks a little rusty with his distribution but he is all over the pitch. I'd love him to be freed from his right back position as I think defending is the worst part of his game. He could be sensational as a free running midfielder

The academy may well be what saves us face this year.

The club has been on life support for over a decade - the Academy is the only reason it's still breathing.

Tronstad seems very neat and tidy in his play.

The monkey paw hath spoken, looks like he might be freed from the right back position by twisting himself inside out trying to defend.

This game is being won on the flanks, pace and flare, something we don’t have and didn’t have last season…Just as bad if we don’t bring in a winger in before window end.

It truly is uncle jacks last gift to us. To think swag wants houses.

And nobody bothering to track the goal scorer.

Upgrade from Morton. I really like the look of Markanday too. We are winning the ball high up the pitch, but we are very vulnerable on counter attacks.

cmon jdt,release the ennis

I was going to say the opposite - I think he's better than Travis, but he's given the ball away too much for mine and hasn't looked to progress play enough. 

Solid partner to Wharton / Buckley, but can't play with Travis.

How on earth did we score our second?

[Mars Rover]

They keep working hard to win the ball from the front, with the biggest downfall being they don't know what to do with it when they actually win it back.

[Mike E]

Markanday did well to seize on that

Brittain at RB and JRC infront of him is how I'd do it with the current playing squad we have.

But if presented with an open goal, it makes things a little easier...

Hedges would have chipped that.

2-3 Markanday!!

[davulsukur]

Absolute howler from their keeper, good pressure by Leonard and Markanday capitalises

Pressure from the front 4 - they don't like it up 'em. 

[neophox]

Good pressure from Rovers for the goal! Markanday having a superb game

Solid partner to Wharton / Buckley, but can't paly with Travis.

To be fair to you, he’s just found the gap between two of our players directly to the touch line but aside from that, he moves the ball quickly and generally looks forward. He looks comfortable in possession and as the “pivot” that’s what you want.

Neither will most Championship teams. 

 

Dolan our weakest link at the moment.
