Lots of neg around JB, some people can’t get over it. The only issue I have is that they never admit that they are wrong, if JB gets top 10 this year he will be the more successful that Holly and DC which will really put noses out of joint. Assuming you mean Ollie we finished 5th & 7th in L2 (now L1) in two out of three seasons he was in charge, I guess you haven't been following Rovers that long? Only really promotion, or least a play off final appearance, will put him ahead of Ollie. Technically 4th would be better then, FYI supporting Rovers since the glorious Gerry Francis (1st spell) days and in my opinion we play some of the best football I’ve seen since then |

Welcome to the gas Connor. A 6'6'' jumping wall was just what we needed to compliment our defensive options. He's going to be a massive threat at set pieces as well. Excited for the new season.

League 1's player of the season still with us.
Javani Brown along with Collins was the leagues most creative player before his suspension.
Luke Thomas when he was fit was pretty much an ever present for a team that reached the Play Off Final.
A fully fit, raring to go Scott Sinclair who I feel will be like a new signing.
Marquis goals per game time was very good last season a proven goal scorer at this level.
Our options going forward has to be one of the best in the Division as it is anyway without bringing anybody else in.
We've massively improved our defence which was our weak link by bringing in a pretty much ever present commanding, no nomsense, leader at Centre Half from last seasons Champions.
More experience and leadership at the back in George Friend with near on 400 Championship appearances.
Connor Taylor back home, who played in The Championship last season.
Plus the 2 young lads from Brentford who are highly thought of.
Grant Ward signed permanently will be like a new signing, if Macca can get back to his form of 2 years ago, and if, it's a big if we can get and keep Josh Grant and Jordan Rossiter fit then that's not a bad midfield as well, if we can bring in another Bogarde type and more experience in the mould of Coutts and Whelan, then it could be a very good Midfield.
The squad is looking far better quality wise than last season.
I can't see why we shouldn't be aiming for the top 2/3, let alone the top 6.

Rossiter,Gibbons will hopefully be back some time so looking good.Think we'll win tomorrow and delighted Connor is back.Stoke fans wishing him all the best but reckon not quite up to Championship standard but reckon he can prove them wrong.
