Jaakkola on the bench tonight - presumably will also be on Sunday for their game v Rep of Ireland - so will miss the Ipswich game I would assume.That one's slipped under the radar! So we've gone from having a strong looking starting 11 for Saturday to now losing our goalie and centre forward.

For the record. 1-0 to Wales. Our defence kept Kiefer Moore quiet last week, but Finland couldn't.
Tom Lockyer played the full 90 and was probably Wales' best defender IMO.
No time on the pitch for Jaakkola

It's not so much being in the shop window I'm worried about, although I obviously am, but more the fact that we could lose him to International duty just when we need him most. This is a worry. It was very telling that when Jaakkola was injured earlier this year that BG did not persist for too long with JVS and signed Jamal Blackman on loan for the rest of the season. Clearly he must feel JVS is something of a risk between the sticks if he did not give him an opportunity to have a run in the starting XI while Jaakkola was out? That was absurd. Perfect time to give JVS minutes and build him potentially into a player to push Jaakkola. I don’t really see the point in a number two you don’t trust to deputise.

Whilst I agree, it hasn’t been “rumoured” we are looking to sign another keeper so maybe JVS has impressed/improved during pre season. I suppose the window is open for a while yet. What’s Blackman up to? I think BG must just accept that there will be several games this season we will have to play our #2 keeper. JVS certainly had some minutes in pre-season and I don't recall seeing much wrong with him in that time, so he will be starting in AJ's absence. Blackman has signed a season long deal with Rotherham in the Championship - not that we could ever expect to have him come to Rovers while Jaakkola was fit anyway

What you up to this Saturday at 3pm Chewwy? Can you get yourself (and your Sondicos) to Ipswich?

I don't rate JVS that highly, but he may be on low wages. It is strange to bring someone in but when points are at stake I don't blame BG getting in a keeper like Blackman - he is up there with Jaakkola.

It is strange to bring someone in but when points are at stake I don't blame BG getting in a keeper like Blackman - he is up there with Jaakkola. The thing is we got barely any points anyway. In the ten games Jamal played, we got 9 points. Now, this isn’t a criticism of Jamal because I don’t really think he did anything wrong. That said I’d have preferred to have given ten games to our player to help with his development and get a better picture of what his chances are to progress going forward.
