Can’t believe people are putting Bennett out wide. Have we not learned anything? Do people watch games?

Much rather Lucas Joao if we are targeting lanky centre forwards

Go on ursel Jack the Lad!! Fully getting behind this lad. Could be a miraculous signing and if not then oh well. Doesn’t sound like we have spent a lot of resources on him. I am very intrigued by the prospect of him playing Centre back, seems to be very much like a Lenihan, defensive midfield who’s attributes transfer well into a defender. I have two question: Has he trained with us at all? Does the club have the option of a second year?

Steele was the worst goalkeeper ive ever seen in professional football, and Sunderland paid a fee. There is no way its equal.

I had visions last night of Tony turning Rodwell into a top flight centre half, making the England squad.

He will do well there.

I saw that list too, some fun names on there.

So: Rodwell on a free to cover at CB Reed on loan at CM Brereton for ungodly amount of money Winger to be named later What is everyone whining about?

Thought Bennett was absolutely woeful first half, not a coincidence he improved when moved more centrally in the 2nd.

If the choice is Rodwell on a cheap two year deal, or Reed on Loan. I will take Rodwell, thanks. Again, I can see Smallwood being loaned out, he is a league one player, who served us well. Looking forward to the two announcements tomorrow. 2 tomorrow then 2 next week will have us in great shape.

I just don’t understand, a one point the ball got launched up to Danny who laid it off mid way in their half to a midfielder, and the ball ends up back with Charlie half way in our half. Launched ball again, rinse repeat. Full backs are feart to get forward. Zero breaks of the ball either in that half

Sonny Aluko was a piece of shit winger a Aberdeen last I checked, he has since turned into Claude Makelele

My eyes are going to bleed at the sight of the starting 11 vs Brentford, if Dack, Armstrong and Palmer are all out.

Bennett is getting worse as the first half goes on. Amazing

Elliot Bennett isn’t a right winger, I thought we established this last year?

Brereton to be announced before the game?

That first half against Hull was some of the best football we have played in years, I think we will see the same starting 11, but would prefer to drop Smallwood and put Bennett in centre mid with Armstrong dropping back to the Inside Forward on the right, with Graham coming in.

The budget, It is rather puzzling. We decided to offer new contracts to bit part players in Conway, Williams and Smallwood who could struggle to get into the match day squad if we sign three more. Points to budget change for sure

Maybe Mowbray was telling the truth about keeping the owners feet on the ground and building slowly. He maybe now sees this team could mount a serious challenge for promotion, esp with recent FFP judgements. Whilst also signing players with resale value if we don’t get there. Bradley Dack is worth a fortune, as is Lenihan and Raya. If the money is there then it’s house money. Fill yer wellies Tony

Just Nixon’s responses to Twitter questions today. Ha that’s what people said about Palmer when he signed. Looks like he can play in various positions and be effective.

Yeah think so. Ain’t many other gobshites reporting on Rovers. Me too would be thrilled

That’s the team right there

It’s sounds like the Luke Freeman rumour is coming back around. Apparently will let him go for 3m now, surely that’s a good deal. Position of need at left wing, and another Championship teams best player. This Brereton deal is becoming a farce, would be delighted to see Venkys stump up the cash for an expensive transfer like this but you can’t help but feel there is better value out there. The Haaland kid at Molde for example, yes it’s alfs son, is poised to join Salzburg for 8ish, and by all accounts he is one of the biggest wonderkids in Europe with a proven goal scoring record. Got another name to suggest. Dundee’s Steven Caulker has a Chequered past but also has an England cap. Rejuvenated his career at Dundee and there has been plenty of Championship interest. Only 26?still.

Evans is a bit of an enigma, he has spells of decent passing and is tidy with his touch. He isn’t great in the air but he did okay in that regard today, he had a golden chance to shoot earlier on which he should have taken. He is a fit lad, and puts in a shift. It’s him or Smallwood for one of the spots in centre mid doing the dirty work.
