U18s lost 2-1 vs Man Utd, Max Davies with the goal for Rovers. Based on the stats, Rovers got off lightly, but they lost the reverse 9-0 earlier in the season, so maybe that's some progress

You have your wires crossed, Buckley didn't make his debut until a couple of years after Rovers were in League 1 the year he played further forwards was Mowbray's last season (21/22)

He did, at the start of this season

I would say that this is one of the factors which has led to more outgoing loans, to put the players into a somewhat competitive environment, even if only for a month or so.

It is maybe worth considering that due to a combination of outgoing loans & injuries, the vast majority of minutes at U21 level this season have been played by teenagers, some who are still eligible for the U18s (Houghton, Atcheson, Dunn, Tyjon, Michalski) , and that given this years experience, next year, they will push on both individually, and as a group

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere 15 minute chat between Zak Gilsenan & Elliott Jackson about his injury https://podfollow.com/1706105069/episode/eaa6628e53c121ddf278c5e5cc0c9197b1a3bbf8/view TLDR - he has had surgery, same injury as previous, will be back for pre season

Signed a 3 year contract with Malmö yesterday https://www.mff.se/nyheter/arnor-sigurdsson-klar-for-malmo-ff-2025-02-19/ He scored over a goal every 2 games in his last 2 seasons in Sweden. Surprised he has signed for so long unless there is a low release fee as he will surely fancy another crack at making it in a bigger league, and wages in Sweden are not (to my knowledge) huge The below is translated by Google, so may not be the most accurate "As a footballer, I know that I can help the team both on and off the pitch. I am fast, have good ball control and like to create chances and score goals. But also run and fight for the team. I can't wait to get started."

Rovers were away, but your point still stands https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/february/18/report--bolton-wanderers-b-2-1-rovers-under-21s/

Starts this evening for Olson - won 2-1 - injured midway through the first half Eastham - drew 2-2 - Ashton Utd move up to 2nd in the table On the bench Markanday - won 2-1 - after 5 starts, 2 goals and 1 assist, Markanday has not got off the bench in the past 2 games Wood - won 2-0 Not involved in matchday squad Goddard - drew 0-0 (broken finger) Montgomery - lost 2-0 - injured, went off at half time at the weekend

Nope We do have a pair of Edmondson's that are brothers though

Presume the Facebook story is the same as the one they posted on their own site https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/february/18/gilsenan--my-toughest-challenge-yet/

yes, which makes him either 15 or 16 years old, and hopefully signing a first year scholarship at Rovers in the summer
