I agree with that, I was asked what was said but I'm talking more about his body language etc in the first 2 games. Get the impression he really wants the move and feels like the club may be denying it to him. Purely speculation but interesting to discuss. Was interested to see that others picked up on it too.

Maybe it is Ipswich denying him the move, pay up and he’s gone.

I’d like him to stay, when Buckley’s on it he’s class.

We have played two bad sides so no time to get excited.

However, looks like we have brought in some proper players.

Strikers who want to score goals, good movement and take shots = goals.

Jap lad looks great so far !

I swear if Gally played we win that 1-0 in a turgid display.

At the end of the day Szmodic is playing and playing well,goal scored and an assist .Wether it was the clubs decision or Szmodic insistence they gave him 3 weeks off more or less to get the deal sorted and Ipswich haven't met the clubs valuation.

If the club are overvaluing Szmodic in his opinion and feels we should be accepting the offer from Ipswich and he is really unhappy with the club then instead of playing well and putting himself at risk of injury then would he not be putting a transfer request in?

Would also like to congratulate you on being much nicer and more sensible than any of the Wrexham fans that came here before our game with them in the FA Cup.  And also for coming back after the game (unlike them)

Good luck for the rest of the season 

Bit easier when it's the League Cup and expected but thanks(!) and good luck for the rest of the season too.

Are we worried about his finishing? Seems to have a weak shot and poor efforts. Does his all round play make up for it? Do we think he will improve when he is sharper? 
 

So many questions!! 

Yeah first thing I thought across both games, his shots a bit weak and he's not overly accurate.

Maybe Eustace is giving him some extra responsibility to try and get the best out of him? He’s not a kid anymore and his talent has never been in question, just his application and willingness to roll his sleeves up.

Might have been my eyes making 1+1=7

When Sammie comes off, he suddenly goes left, shakes hands with Vale and Trav but purposely blanks Gueye.

After the final whistle he came on shaking hands, as Gueye was in front of him, Sammie goes sideways and blanks him.

Training bust up ?

2 big Characters and Gueye seems like a wind up merchant.

[harryhealless1928]

Given its a long hard season that team did look a bit full strength.

Agreed, Buckley has quality but is inconsistent. No disrespect, but its a tad easier against Stockport.

Jack Vales goal the best of the lot. He has already surpassed Telalovic, Chris Brown & George Hirst IMHO. Now the harder job of him getting to Gallys standard (forget all about Armstrong,Diaz etc).

So does JDT and Eustace doesn't seem overly keen. Why didn't he play Friday?

Haha. He's going nowhere. Ben Hinchliffe. County legend. Former long haul lorry driver (and missed a game when we were part time because he couldn't get any more time off), over 300 games for the club and our most "capped" GK. Triple champion of the NLN, NL and L2. Now 36 and when he sees out his 2-year deal at the club he'll get his testimonial. 

Ageing like a fine wine. Golden glove winner last season but not the tallest or best vs crosses (as you see for the 5th) and the club have signed 2 GKs to start the transition. Minor uproar when he didn't start of our first league game. It's happened before though and he's always displaced his challenger.

Really impressed with Bucko tonight, thought he was excellent and central to everything we did.

Everyone played well tonight, pleased to see Vale score and Duru get 45.

10 goals in 2 games, complete credit where it's due - let's hope we can build a bit of momentum...

Not crap, Just inconsistent.

One of them where it is very difficult to analyse the game such was the opposition, a team of kids for a depleted lower league opposition. 

But obviously such a dominant thrashing is always good and plenty of positives in a very professional display. Gueye getting off the mark is a big one, other attacking players getting goals and some crucial minutes in players legs.

[Miller11]

These early league cup games have become really enjoyable over the last few years. Was good to see more of the two new forwards, both look very useful in different ways. Batth was immense defensively, could’ve used the ball a bit more bravely but that will probably come soon enough. Buckley absolutely superb, doesn’t matter about the level of opposition, his level of intensity and commitment was great - we need from him every time he plays. Similar thoughts in Sigurdsson. Weimann looks a real shrewd bit of business. Nice to see Duru make his debut, it’s easy to see what he offers. Still not sure Vale has any future at Rovers, but that goal was fantastic and I’d love to be proven wrong.

[Polky]

Loving the post-win Gueye loving.

If Szmodics didn’t applaud when he went off, he made up for it at full time.

When I worked with County fans, they hated Burnley big time. Hard not to wish you success!

Anyone found any decent highlights?
