The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)

[Neal]

I wouldn't get stressed about Szmodics. He won't be here next season and we won't see any of the money either so it's a moot point. 

[Crimpshrine]

Pretty pointless interview with Eustace on Radio Lancs.

15 or train with the reserves for me

Putting aside your previous comments about having his legs broke, why would we take such a drastic view?

If they dont bid a reasonable amount, we might have a bit of a strop but we cant afford to let him rot.

That side tonight shows exactly how weak we are. Thats our second string and 6 dont have a league minute between them. Markanday and Garrett are miles off it, Buckley has been poor for a good while, Hedges is prone to injury and O'Riordan again is an unknown quantity.

And thats not factoring in the weaknesses of our expected first 11. Pears in net, Sigurdsson, Dolan and Gallagher trying to get the goals.

I wonder if Sigurdsson isnt involved because he will play again ahead of Szmodics tomorrow.

Almost certainly

Also note that Gent isn't involved tonight, maybe Ipswich are having Gally as well in a two for one deal?  Leaving Dolan up front and Gent wide left tomorrow? 😉 

Vale also not involved tonight

[roversfan99]

Also no Vale. I wonder if Vale and Gent are being primed for exits or will be subs tomorrow.

Totally agree, very boring and gave no real insight into what positions are going to be covered by the new signings. Am I the only one who thinks macfaz and the crocked ex Sheffield utd player will be part of the 5-6 players?

Unbelievable that we, probably, have to wait until next week for our first proper first team signing.

43 days the window has been open…

Budget or no budget, signings should have been made by now!!! 

I really don't think it is too far fetched with Waggott in charge, that we consciously wait until the end of the window to bring players in, in order to save a measly amount of money on wages.

[FE123]

Szmodics won’t play tomorrow and there will be news following the game of an impending move would be my best guess.

Seems Hilton is nailed on as our #2 too, which means the Barrett signing was pointless. 

[WacoRover]

Young 11, & Buckley (c) 

[rock steady]

Can we get a 'you know' count on that interview?

We were a bit spoiled with JDT I think in that sense.

Still calling us Blackburn too.

[GaryC]

Is that match available to watch anywhere other than in Morecambe

Waggot’s streaming it from his house at £20pp

Probably.

I would like to think even amidst the financial situation and the way the club is run that we will at least sign a senior keeper.

Sadly, I expect someone on a short term deal, above 35 years old and with Pears still our number 1, making mistake after mistake.

[rock steady]

Pears as our #1 this season will not be pretty.

I'd pay it! Stuck at home with a crooked neck and nothing better to do. Sadly no live coverage of our friendlied available

[Ruaney]

Pears as #1 and Buckley being a captain even in a friendly paints a bleak picture.

 

We are an absolute joke of a club.

Morecambe 1-0 up

In that way. 

[simongarnerisgod]

hedges with the equaliser🙂

[BankEnd Rover]

Markanday having a good game apparently…Gets a lot of stick but for me is a good addition mainly off the bench.

[Mattyblue]

Forget about hearing ‘Rovers’ again from any player or manager… like with so many things JDT was an outlier.
