5 wins in 26 at League 1 level. Awful record. Spose League 2 is easy if you can get your mate to send you a Premiership ready youngster. Would be interested to know how many other L2 clubs had Prem youngsters on loan last season. My guess would be, a fair few. None of the Elliot Anderson quality.

On another day Anthony evans scores a goal of the season contender and we can start describing him as mercurial, Clarke and Hoole grab a goal each and suddenly we’ve gone to top of table Ipswich and the smash and grab is on! The results will come, I still think this group is going to be fantastic! Utg And if my aunt had balls... She could play centre back on Saturday!

No one at this club, not in the view of Nathan Jones, Eddie Howe certainly didn’t think so in January otherwise he’d have stayed put surely🤷🏻♂️ His Rovers exploits made everyone sit up and notice no doubt but wouldn’t say he was primed for premiership action before he joined us. Just my two penneth😬 5 months in a Gas shirt and I have one of his framed on my staircase wall, memories for a lifetime!

Don’t apply sense and logic to correct someone who is only interested in viewing everything from a negative angle !!

Elliot Anderson is twice the player Matty Longstaff is. Probably was when they both went out on loan -- But everyone had heard of ML and only a few of EA. Mind you I did see a few Newcastle fans at the time were well up to speed with EA.

Apart from the JB haters who really believes our promotion was down solely to EA? I can't see JB's "mates" helped him sign the likes of Belshaw, Taylor, Connolly, Evans and Collins.

It looks like Anderson has burst his toe and Loft's picked up a niggle in a 11 v 11 training session, at this rate we'll be struggling to fill the bench on Saturday. If Hoole moves to CB then who plays RB?

I guess what I’m getting at, keep Anderson in but take out Evans from January onwards, we don’t go up. Not a comparison between the two. Just getting away from this ridiculous idea EA is the ‘only’ reason we went up and he was some seasoned world beating prem midfielder who dropped 3 levels to help us out😂🤦🏻

Without doubt he was pivotal.

Saunders is one of the worse players we have. Runs and runs but totally headless.Not even a League 2 standard player and neither are Houle and Kilgour. Truth is though when most of our players are fit all three will struggle to be on the bench.

Truth is though when most of our players are fit all three will struggle to be on the bench. Hoole I agree is struggling at this level but he was ok at league 2 , Kilgour just isn’t up to scratch. Saunders I’ve not given up hope on yet but it’s looking like he hasn’t got the quality needed at this level.
