Indeed it is 11/2 on Skybet right now.

tempting but the inoming signings will surely see us safe from the dreaded drop🙂

[NeilInBristol]

Rovers are the only Championship club yet to make a senior addition and need to bolster their defensive options. With three weeks until the season begins, Hayden Carter and Dom Hyam are the only centre-backs available to John Eustace with second-tier experience.

 

LT reports.

 

Incredible thanks VENKYS

[FE123]

Marek Rodak/Asmir Begovic

Paudie O’Connor/Sean McLaughlin AND Liam Cooper

Winger loan

Striker loan

Is the minimum to give us a competitive squad IMO, plus replacing anyone that the club inevitably receive an offer for.

Really struggling for depth otherwise. Our bare 11 is fairly decent, but how long can we survive with that? Maximum 5 games I would suggest.

I think we have 14 players who should be able to play at this level fairly comfortably, and have done in the past to be fair.

After that you have Markandey, Vale, Garrett, O'Riordan, Duru, Batty and Gent. We know the first couple on that list aren't good enough, jury is out on Garrett and who knows about the rest, I'm sure we'll see before long.

Also Leonard and Gilsenan who look like they are both out for a while, and obviously Wharton who is out for most of the season.

We need a keeper, central defender, left back, winger and striker just to hopefully stay clear of that bottom 3 for me.

I think Markanday will surprise many.

he`s not good enough to make a contribution through a long season,ok off the bench but relying on him regularly it`s not an option

He's proven he can't play out wide at this level - so unless he turns into a goal scoring #10 he's not good enough.

I think it will be , when he turns into a goalscoring #10.

[roversfan99]

The rise of Brereton was very much an exception to the rule and he had a season between being very bad and very good where he did fairly well and scored 7 or 8 so it wasnt a sudden emergence.

Markanday has been here for a couple of seasons and has really struggled to show capability at this level. There isnt 0% chance of him coming good but it isnt some sort of laughable unsupportive impatient mob that suggests that he isnt up to it.

[Mattyblue]

This is going to be his fourth season here, think fans are quite entitled to doubt if he’s up to it at this level. 

He’s only still around the first team because we’ve feck all else. 

 

[B16Rover]

I know this is all futile and we've no money/ambition but you'd think after 2 (3?) pre seasons in Austria we may have dipped into that market.  

Can't say I've ever watched the league but they've obviously got decent enough players going into Germany semi regularly and you'd think we'd be seen as a step up compared to the league except Rapid

[tomphil]

Markanday needs to model himself on Craig Conway and learn to perfect a cross and become an industrious wide player.

Championship level flying winger he isn't although he is capable of some decent games but i think if you plonked him in a good league 1 side he'd look more at home.

He isn't alone though, big season coming up for him.

[roversfan99]

Szmodics not in the team today nor is Hedges who still isnt fit enough. The bench is again frightening.

[sverrehh]

Thin squad with a high likelyhood of JRC, Gallagher, Hedges and others to pick up injuries that will put them on the sideline for months.

The starting attack is frightening.

[MB Rover]

Szmodics out as a precaution. That precaution being that we may need him transferable should Venky’s lose their court case so we can keep the lights on. 

[simongarnerisgod]

sammie thinking **** this,im`e not getting injured just as my move is being arranged,the others not being risked because any injuries will mess us up even more than we are already,what a way to run a professional football club

[davulsukur]

All its taken is 2 players to be unavailable and we look shite.

Brittain was captain in the last gave I think. Must be sharing it about during pre season.
