Yeah Barnes is finished, even at this level. If they sign a half decent striker I think they’ll finish in the top two. Can’t believe @chaddyrovers said he thought they might get relegated a month or so ago, and yes Chaddy you said MlGHT and not definitely before you pull me up on that 😂 with the signings they are making they will be well up there.

Well Tyler Morton can’t be that good if you can’t spell his name right 😂 I remember seeing Patino play for Arsenal in a league cup game, he looked really impressive I think he may have scored in the game also. Decent signing for Blackpool. And you say Patino is lightweight which he is but Morton is exactly the same…

Don’t necessarily want him here and wouldn’t want to pay 4 million but I still rate him as a player

12 goals last season in a poor team, the guy scores goals, if he went to a Cardiff or a Huddersfield I think he’d maybe do even better. I’m surprised a club hasn’t gone in for him, even at 28 years old. Very good player.

We’ve beat Swansea once in 10 league meetings since 2012. It’s a horrible ground to go to. Give me a point now and I’d take it 👍🏻

Dack hasn’t had one ACL either, he’s had two. He’s going to have to accept coming off the bench for the foreseeable and if he doesn’t show anything then that’ll be that. We all live in hope though, he still bagged at Coventry last season and has shown glimpses. Truth be told he was never the most mobile before his injuries so I’m not giving up on him yet.

I thought that when I saw the link from that Turkish paper but apparently it’s not true so there’s still hope.

Sorry Neal I’ve just posted this, didn’t see you’d beat me to it. Fully agree with your sentiments though.

Chelsea strongly linked with Cucurella now, left back from Brighton. 50m plus Levi Colwill, who’s a centre half. I’m pretty convinced that Brighton don’t have Van Hecke in their immediate plans this season, that means they’ll either give him a new deal and loan him out or look to sell him. GET IT DONE Rovers.

Better players around him now as well, and the way he relentlessly presses seems to be what we’re looking for. Look forward to seeing him in action 🙌🏻

Don’t see another club taking on Dack’s wages which for our standards I imagine are at the higher end of the spectrum, especially with so much uncertainty on his current ability after the injuries he’s had. But what does this mean for Dack? I hope he gets his head down and waits for his chance and doesn’t throw the toys out the pram.

The last time I saw a couple of tits at Wembley it was Saka and Rashford stepping up to take their penalties.

Disappointing that Dacky has seemingly thrown his toys out the pram, hopefully it’s just frustration at wanting to be on the pitch and when he does get on the pitch he’s even more determined and takes his chance. He’s one of the more senior players in the team currently and he needs to act like that, maybe part of him is also annoyed that he didn’t get the armband?

You can’t knock three points on the opening day, delighted with that. Today showed though how much investment this team needs IF we want to have a go, if we’re happy enough being mid table plodders this season then I think that’s what this team will get. COYB

We need 5 signings! 😂

Moderately reliable being who and what pal?

Unleaded posted an hour ago saying he’s not heard anything.

Critchley compo money funded the Brannagan deal apparently…

Where’s the usual final paragraph? ”Which is why I’ve lumped on Rovers at 11/10, great value and one of the home bankers of the weekend”

I’ve given up trying to keep up with Neophox’s random ramblings on here. 😂

James Brown heading out on loan, I don’t know about you but I’d have rather kept him as our backup Right Back than Rankin-Costello who has been absolutely shocking ever since his injury issues. I’d have loaned him out instead of Brown.

Yeah I don’t argue with that, we will just definitely need more when Ayala inevitably misses games and I’m not fully comfortable with sticking one of the young boys in to replace someone that experienced.

Exactly, we need 1 or 2 more centre halves bringing in.

The highly thought of CM is Tyler Morton from Liverpool, hopefully he’s more of an Elliott type than a Leighton Clarkson.
