Only Friend on the injured list before that game? Grant, Loft and Macca all involved. No was will Rossiter be back. Anyone else due back from injury, Gibbons? Bristol live injury update says Gibbons is a few weeks away yet, didn’t even mention Friend

All gone pretty quiet hasn't it - I can't think of an active rumour ongoing linked to us?? Any predictions for what we see in remainder of window? I think 2 more in, one an extra loan in too. 3 out permanent & 3 out on loan..... Whatever happens now I’m kind of expecting it to be a “final hour” type of scenario

Personally when I think of what defines an “x factor” player I think of goals, so whoever this player turns out to be I’m expecting a fairly well established striker

I just don’t see the point. He might be good for another season or two but he won’t have a resale value after that. Besides we’re already all struggling to decide who would be the first 11. Brown , Marquis and Collins to start so not sure how JCH would even fit in. Not discrediting him as a striker I think he’s excellent. If we were to buy him for a million and he scored 30 goals gaining us promotion to the championship, I personally wouldn’t give a damn about resale value. The value would be in what he gave us on the pitch

Got my hopes up thinking it was gonna be someone amazing like Dave McCracken or Guy Branston returning… How disappointing to discover it’s only Conner Taylor 🙄

5pm I reckon, although we’ve had no teasing from the Twitter admin yet. Not a chance. I expect at least 48 hours of teasing videos for this one I feel like the teasing videos would have started hours ago if it were gonna be today

That's all true, but surely less risk going for a player that the management team know really well than someone they've only seen play for other clubs. There are no guarantees but Taylor performed excellently for us in L2, no reason he can't do the same in L1. True. But Connolly was better when on loan, so was McCormack. I thought Mark McKeever was one of our best wingers ever when we had him on loan. Then he was awful when he signed on a permanent. Hopefully Taylor can break the trend and the others can get better this season as well. Jamie Cureton was good on loan… total flop when we signed him lol

Bogarde's Instagram Story Sounds like he’s referring to a chance of championship football to me

Surprised they are looking for him to replace a £40m player!! Plus it's a big leap from Rovers to a top 3 chasing Championship side. I think he’s worth a shot in the championship, but if I were a Southampton fan I’d be fuming with him replacing a player leaving for that kind of money. As you say it doesn’t seem like the signing of a club aiming for the top

Still no news on George Friend - seems to have gone missing for a while now. Not mentioned as injured which is odd. Maybe it’s just a minor injury then and not worth mentioning, don’t know tho of course

Well just got home , the two boys had a good day ,plenty there for 7 year old who did me proud by 'scoring' in the shooting game, not so much for teens, got there around noon, plenty of queues for kids stuff, plenty of money being spent in store including by me for the lads shirts , should be pleased they wanted one and i was ,i think! did not go into ground till 12.50 , did not see any interaction by players with kids and fans, may have missed it, a lot stayed on after full time so not sure if they were rewarded, shame if not. Forgot about being cashless so gave grandson cash to get himself some food, queued for a while then had to come looking for me to pay by card, yes i know it's my fault but it still annoys me! As for the game well i know we can't read to much into it but blimey the number of time we lost possession in dangerous areas either by getting caught in possession or by a woeful pass was worrying, i include the new keeper in this who was a mixed bag, made some good stops and pinged a few great passes BUT he was guilty of some terrible passes at the back and got caught a few times as did his fellow defenders, still early doors though. there were some positives , Marquis must start and i see no reason why Ryan Jones should not be in the first team squad, Hoole gets better and better and has 'filled 'out looking a much tougher proposition now, the highlight for me was Jones overlapping down the left before pinging a superb cross on to the head of Marquis who although did not quite get the header right, that's what i love to see! Spirites were neat and tidy but did not make most of plenty of possession. Based on today, 'work 'to do and if we are going to play out from the back, which is an admirable approach, a big improvement is required. Appreciate the assessment as I didn’t watch the game. I never worry much about half hearted defending in friendlies as I imagine the players have to think about things like not getting themselves injured for the opening game. If a another player gets ahead of them in the pecking order it could be very costly to their whole season

Anyone have an assessment of Cox today? Curious to hear opinions on him being number 1 or not

JCH seems to have come up a few times this summer. Not sure why as in my eyes he's going to be looking at the champ, not dropping back down to us... Can’t see us paying that significant a fee either
