I'll put some balance to this... Westbrooke is no doubt a very talented boy, however if I was an opposition player I would target him and bully him out of it, too lightweight, can't tackle, bottles headers and 50/50s,you can't be a modern day midfielder without being able to complete. We can't afford any passengers, good luck to the lad, hope he proves us all wrong.

I hope he has his head in the right place and can prove us all wrong, be a real treat if he can find some form and be a useful squad player this season. I for one will support him if he dons the famous quarters, seems like a lot of unfair criticism targeting him when still our player. UTWestbrooke

2nd goal was a foul less said about the 3rd the better but still a creditable result

I saw somewhere that we were playing Porto B and not their first team but that information could be wrong.

A players form and how good that player looks often depends on the performance of other players on the pitch, the coach, the job the player is being asked to do etc
ZW has only been seen play in a poor team that ran away with relegation race.
Iโd like to see what he can do in this squad and itโs for him to prove himself like all players.
Every season you start from scratch. Whatโs gone before is history.

Westbrook surely played when we had winning spells under BG, PT and JB during his first season at the club, even if they were short-lived?

Fair play getting a pre season run out against an outfit who are Champions League/Europa League regulars. Some of those lads will be internationals and worth tens of millions, also throw in the climate & conditions. Sounds like we handled ourselves well.
That being said, who the F is wearing number 5 and sticking their head down there for the third? Jaysus wept ๐๐๐

A good experience for everyone at Rovers. Current Portuguese champions ,2x europa league winners,2x champions league winners and winners of the intercontinental cup.
Someone pulled a blinder getting this fixture. Can only thank everyone at Porto for giving Rovers this opportunity.

Playing in that unlucky black kit โฆ no surprise we lost.
Sooner it is burnt the better.
Seriously though we looked like an early pre season side โฆ wasnโt great.?
