Not if he said it on the ones we signed too, which is what the person you quoted was replying to. But yes, denying every rumour will statistically result in getting more right than wrong.

I think a recall and a loan to League One should work for Rovers and the player, assuming there's interest.

That is their philosophy. And as far as their caveman crowd are concerned it's playing the right way. (Not actually knocking that style tbf, the game is mostly about winning and nothing wrong with a bit of passion...Millwall fans are proper scum though by and large)

I knew that, so I've no idea why I didn't think to bet on under 2.5 goals and also on Travis being booked, which was an inevitability in this game!

Ah, then I'd just consider whether to activate it dependent on what happens between now and the end of the season. More than likely I wouldn't bother. It seems stupid to me to be in negotiations with him now, but I guess Eustace clearly likes him as he has been involved in every game and played more minutes than the others in his position.

I didn't realise that, but you're right, he's played in every league game this season, wow! ....and scored 1 goal and notched 1 assist, from left and right midfield/forward. In 20 games. Less goal contributions than Travis, a CM (2 goals, 1 assist). The same as Hyam, a CB. Looking at similar positions, half of what Dolan (2 goals, 2 assists) in 18 games, Weimann (4 goals) in 15 games, and Joe Rankin Costello (2 goals, 2 assists) in 13 games, with some games spent at CM and RB, have contributed, all in less games. Erm, bit shit really isn't it? Btw, minutes comparison makes him look even worse next to Weimann and JRC. Hedges: 1,289 minutes (1 GC per 644.5 minutes aka 1 every 7.16 games) JRC: 726 minutes (1 GC per 181.5 minutes aka 1 every 2.016 games Weimann: 720 minutes (1 GC per 180 minutes aka per 2 games)

I'd agree...I mean, at most I'd consider offering him a one year extension, if he stays fit and moderately consistent til March-ish (when I'd start negotiations). Depending on what he's on, and what our budget is likely to be. But if he wanted a raise or more years I'd end negotiations right there (if I even started them). He's been ok in spurts, but there's never been a run of form where he has felt like a matchwinner more than very occasionally. Quite frankly, we can do better, even on the cheap if we're smart. If he was a symptom of that, he'd be a lot more expensive. He was a very small fee (not free as RF99 said) and will be on a fairly low wage for a Championship player. He's a symptom of cheapskate ownership and a dried up transfer budget for years now.

We gave virtually all of those players a fair crack of the whip. Sometimes an unfair crack of the whip (see Tyler Morton). We didn't see them get rave reviews in their first appearances, peter off a little bit in the next couple, then get dropped from the bench entirely and play them in far less games than they'd played the prior season in the Prem. I can't think of one example where that's happened here.

Garrett's stats for Bristol: Appearances (Starts) 6 (3) Goals (Assists) 0 (0) xG 0.22 Shots (On Target) 4 (1) Pass Accuracy 81.1% Chances Created 3 Tackles Won 81.8% Duels Won 60% Aerial Duels Won 45.5% Recoveries 10 Obviously I haven't watched him, but those look like solid stats for a CM in minimal game time. Certainly not 'get frozen out of the whole matchday squad in a team that aren't even doing well' stats.

And regardless of what RF99 said, I do think the piss has been taken with Garrett. If he doesn't play any more games by January he will have played 7 games in half a season. He managed 21 games last season for us, so averaged out, 50% more game time in a far superior team in a far superior league. I wouldn't loan anyone to Bristol for the next three seasons personally, and I'd be telling them why.

Garrett and O'Riordan not even making matchday squads....definitely getting recalled. Turned out to be pointless loans, shame, they both should have been able to secure reasonable game time. Garrett I expected to be a regular, O'Riordan a squad player and hopefully showing promise. Just a wasted half season.

Keep your jinxing comments in your head please.

No wonder they've gone as 'anon', I'm sure a few Rovers fans would wanna slap them for that..shut up man, we need him!

Didn't think Pickering had that in his locker, unlucky not to seal the game there.

Mad that Gueye will get an assist for that 🤣 Can't believe he didn't smash that home, nice for Beck to get his first goal I think it is?
