Completely off topic but given there’s not alot going on… I still cannot believe some were happy to see the back of Raya. Unbelievable.

We need to get this Ryo lad done asap if he’s even half as effective as Yuki. What a market to tap into.

Exactly this. The issue now - which is a year deep - is that he inspires zero confidence to the defence. A new commanding, authoritative GK would change everything. It’s simply a must.

He did have a great game. The worry with him as a few others pointed out is he tends to start seasons on fire and then burns out after a third of the campaign. Let’s hope this time out it’s different.

Even poorer defending. He was free as bird in the middle.

Haven’t seen dinked finishes like that since the Jansen / MGP days!

What on earth has happened 😂 We couldn’t even string a pass together 5-10 mins ago now we’re 3-1 up.

Weimannnnn. Carter like prime CR7.

Well that was fucking coming. We’ve looked absolutely dreadful since midway through the first half.

To Derby county. Making them look like Barcelona on the ball.

How many more times will Brittain let them whip a cross in? Oh brilliant, the big man is injured now. Edit: supposedly just cramp - phew.

Jeez you’ve gotta at least test the GK there! I think we’re finding out why we got him on the cheap. Looks quality apart from the finishing!

I genuinely think anyone of us could have chucked some names on a dartboard and done a better job than our recruitment team over the past couple of seasons. The loanees have taken the biscuit - they've all been absolutely shite.

I'm shocked that anyone was surprised that we didn't fork out decent money for a GK. Was never going to happen IMO. Cue Ruddy or similar joining towards the end of August.

Appreciate this is performance related only, but he also put in the worst individual display in a Rovers shirt that I've seen from the past decade or so at Bristol City (I won't include Shane Duffy for that honor, as that was intentional IMO). That aside, he is no captain. Give it to Trav, JRC - anyone who has a bit of character and bite.

Exactly why looking for greater communication with him is absolutely pointless (IMO of course). He’s the king of spin and bollocks. No doubt king rat Suhail is cut from the same cloth.

As others have said, far too gone for that IMO. The one and only thing they need to do is bugger off. I’m quite surprised anyone thinks otherwise.

If either of them told me the sky was blue then I’d have to stick my head outside just to check.

Ooijer was bloody quality. Like night and day vs what we’ve become accustomed to under these charlatans.

I noticed that, fecking terrible but I guess we shouldn't be surprised,

Gent looks to have recovered from his 'injury' rather quickly eh.

Jeez, why would we want both?! Surely one experienced (very old) CB coming in is enough. It’ll be like watching two oil tankers turning if they’re both on the pitch together.

Of course; but the sheer number of players that have left the club meant that there was a lot of wiggle room with the wage budget. Perhaps some kind of green light has been given but I just wanted to highlight that it'll be crumbs at absolute best that we'll have to revamp the squad.

Ohashi is a free, or otherwise an extremely small fee. Batth is a free, this French lad is free. It's only Big Mak that's cost a fee and that's the tiniest fraction of the funds the club has received over the past year or so.

The dynamics within the changing room are going to be very interesting - two big and popular characters in Szmodics and Gallagher being replaced, so far, by two lads from overseas with at least one them not being able to speak the lingo. You sense any further signings, Mcfadz aside, look to be going the same way too with Park and Rudy leading the charge.
