Games this evening for Barrett - score/update - EFL Trophy game, game is on Sky Sports + with a 7pm kick off O'Riordan - score/update - EFL Trophy game, but have gone with a second string in these games so far this season. game is on Sky Sports + with a 7pm kick off Hyde (Wolsoncroft) & Prescot Cables (Farkas) play in their regional cups, so no idea if I will get much info on these

Stephen Edmondson (released by Rovers in the summer), now at Bootle with Jayden Sergeant. scored a couple at the weekend in a 5-1 win, 26 minutes of coverage is a bit much for me, but in case anyone wants it (Sergeant played the first hour and a bit)

I will add to this, personally I would leave O'Riordan where he is, he looks ok/good in League 1, and can develop more if he carries on playing over the rest of the season far more than just training and sat on our bench. But recalling him will be cheaper and easier than bringing in another centre back (on top of the one I mentioned in my last post)

Both have the ability & potential, both also better on the ball than Pratt, Litherland is a year further along than Atcheson in terms of age & experience though. Edit - I do not think that either will feature regularly for the first team this season (barring an injury crisis in December/early January). I can see O'Riordan being recalled as cover for Miller on the right of the back 3, Pratt being cover for McLoughlin on the left, and an older head being brought in to cover/challenge Wharton in the middle on a short term or loan deal (discounting Carter this season based on his injures)

fixed it for you 😉

Pickering was signed a a league 1 player, but was given a new contract 3 years (and 2 Championship top 10 finishes) later under Broughton before the taps were turned off (same time as Adam Wharton & Szmodics contracts were extended). He will be above or around the current wage cap, similar story Pears Ribeiro probably signed with that in mind, as a cheaper alternative Cost was probably also the primary reason for why Pratt was originally in the team ahead of both, albeit he has worked out

2 really good through balls by Gueye

summer and the he will probably move down south to London to be closer to his home in Iceland 😉 Easier to get flights or something

Indeed it does, They both had loans (& gametime) at tier 6 last season too, but yes, I assumed you meant for Rovers, and your point is completely valid anyway

I think the list of "greedy players" will be further expanded upon over the next 6 months or so

Don't exaggerate 🙂 Atcheson has 17 minutes from 2 cup appearances

But they were all greedy & wanted paying too much, what are the odds eh?

yes

I was too busy excitedly finding my favourite "all things Rovers related" gif/jif thingy to even notice the error

and if they could have had their way, he wouldn't be here anymore either But everything is normal, nothing to see here etc etc
