6 Trialists + Ed Williams start

[danumdon]

it looks like RW has done some very good early business, if we can add a goalkeeper and a central midfielder of the type he specifically wants then with the proposed loans (approx4)we should have the basis of a very competitive 1st team, if the young lads step up as well and i think playing under Wellens will do just that, then we have more than a sporting chance to do better than most on here feel.

I believe the Wellens factor will invigorate this squad. Can't wait for the season to start to give us something positive to discuss.

How do people know we've signed good players... Nobody's seen them play yet

You must have been in a coma then when Tommy Rowe played for us before. Also, if you watch Rovers regularly, you must have seen Ben Close and Jordy Hiwula perform; they've played against us often enough.

Chris it wasn’t two months the season started on the 12 th Sept both Sims and Smith were on the bench on 17th October. Let’s hope Richie can get all the players he needs after a good start with signings before the end of transfer window. To make squad of 18 plus Williams if he’s still here and all the younger players the same as last season.

[Chris Black come back]

Our first game last season was 29 August, the 3-2 defeat away at Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup. Perhaps a few weeks later than normal, but still seven weeks before Smith first played for us.

Think a break from the sun is in order for a few on here - it’s demoralising reading nothing but negativity on a daily basis.

What’s different from any other pre season. Same old moaners with nothing positive to say.

[Chris Black come back]

Here’s a question. All of our own players are English born. When was last time that happened?

[Rovers91]

I think get a goalkeeper, centre back, holding midfielder and a couple more options for the front 3 and we are good to go.

[roversdude]

A decent defensive midfielder will do for the first games, although we may need back up going further into the season

I do hope Richie Wellens takes a peek at this “ melt down” of a site, so he knows what he’s got to do before the season starts…..
