Incredible that Burn and Partington are injured ... How exactly ? They haven't played a handful of games for us between them.

Slightly Bizarre - not one recognised centre back available to play at Melksham tomorrow. Shows how 'thin' this squad still is.

This burn? Looks fit as a fiddle to me. EDIT - obviously he could be carrying injury here or picked one up here. ![](https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/contentassets/b0f1471755f541bb8ad8e34cba398c4d/jmp_brfc_preseason_training_rt0212.jpg/Large)

I would agree that it looks a little thin and we probably need another centre back. But James Clarke can play there, we've got Lockyer, Burn, Partington can play there and people are thinking Menayese might make the step up this year. I think we'd be a little unlucky if we didn't have at least two of those available at any stage of the season. Could definitely do with another one to strengthen but it wouldn't be a travesty if we didn't sign one before the start of the season like it would be with strikers.

James Clarke is probably more suited to a CB role than he is a RB, but agree we could do with adding to our options in that position. Ideally I'd like the big, dominant left sided CB Clarke mentioned, but also a replacement for Hartley.

Of course it might be that DC has half a dozen trialists lined upto play in the centre back positions but has chosen not to list them on the web ....

Same here... I was going to go to Yate tomorrow also, but dont think I will bother now. Very disappointing. Are Melksham higher in the Pyramid than Yate? No Melksham are two leagues below Yate which is why I find the squad split strange. Melksham are on league bellow Yate and on paper probably have a stronger side. The above post is #FakeNews.

I had expected that the squad would be split, was planning to go to Yate tomorrow but a bit disappointed it is just the youngsters. Melksham's manager Darren Perrin is a good friend of DCs from way back, or so DP told me when I bought my ticket. DC promised to take a strong team, and he's kept his word. I would like to have seen a few youngsters, but getting a look at all of the new signings should be good. The new stadium there is pretty tidy too.

I could hardly tell you anything about his ability/attributes. I saw his first half at Coventry, he looked pretty solid tbh, big, strong, good in the air and had a fair turn of pace! After he went off I thought that's when the game changed, he was highly thought of at Middlesborough as well. Just hope he gets a good preseason under his belt, he could be a big player for us next season !
