What happened to Harry Aderson yesterday ?, about to leave the club ?? It seems convenient he's out injured again when there's rumours about him leaving and JB's suggesting they could be a surprise departure (s).

It's not rocket science, the defence needs sorting out.
Only 2 teams have conceded more than us in the division. Meanwhile only 3 teams have scored more. That is ridiculous.
We need to learn to shut the back door!

Geordie Maradona doesn’t make the bench again today. Can’t see why they won’t want him playing football week in week out.

I just don’t get a club 8th in league one can’t sign anyone and has to wait for window to end to see who’s available on loan when you have teams in league 2 with lower attendances getting players over the line early doors ? It just shows no ambition, I know January is the worst window to buy someone but we need wingers and defenders asap It’s like wael is thinking we’re not going to make play offs realistically and we aren’t going down so let’s just free fall and see where we land at the end of the season and look at players in the summer, It’s probably the business thing to do but by then the winning feeling has gone and everyone is watered off and want to leave

We need to learn to shut the back door! It isn’t just about the 3 lads that play centre halves or the 2 wingbacks. Yes we’ve seen some individual mistakes with misplaced passes or being caught out with a simple ball over the top or a keeping mistake. It’s more than that. It’s how we defend and set up as a unit in and out of possession. It’s how we mark at set pieces, both zonal and man for man. Do we even have the right players in the right positions? Theres been a lot of tinkering all season without us ever really settling. A lot of knee jerk reactions maybe from the manager. Did the loss of Bond make a difference? Are we trying to play too much risky football from the back? There’s a whole host of reasons and not just the simple brushstrokes of every defender of crap, because they’re not individually IMO.

Some good players in positions we need strengthening too, for example the left backs/wing backs Nathanael Ogbeta and Harry Boyes to Peterborough and Lincoln respectively and the centre half Dynel Simeu to Morecambe.

Whilst JB would clearly like another promotion on his CV does Wael want all the hassle Championship football would bring to the Mem. This week's pre match presser could be an interesting one if JB's not getting the back he feels he needs

Hope we can nail him down to an extended contract.

Bristow looks a good option. But only signed last summer so would take some cash? (Even if Saunders is included)

How long have you supported Rovers, as I can't recall us ever backing a manager to mount a Championship push since we moved back to Bristol, the fact Wael seems to be content to stay in Jordan doesn't bode well for that changing this season.

How do you know there's no competition over players already signed, that's just "fantasy talk" if you think every other L1 club is signing inferior players and then we'll mop up all the best ones later in the window.

Not sure what Wael's location has to do with any transfers, I'm sure those who are actively involved in the transfer process will know exactly what they have available to spend. If they need him to sign off on a fee he can do that wherever he is

Rumours of Saunders to Tranmere with Ethan Bristow coming our way….. Their other full back Josh Dacres-Cogley isnt too shabby either, arguably their best player and out of contract in the summer
