If anything I think this is a signal that we want Jed out on loan for the foreseeable so he can develop into a future number one for us. If Cox or Belly got injured, having to pull Jed away from an important loan spell to bench warm would suck. Here we get a young lad who can give us that option, perhaps for a couple years, while Jed hopefully progresses up the pyramid and into our side

I initially thought this meant end of Belly, but having looked this guy up I suspect he’s here as an extremely budget third choice option to bench warm in the event Cox is away with England.

I can’t see JM moving on. Hopefully that was BS. He’s a great asset. This is the only mention of JM I can find on the Gill's forums; "I wonder if we will go for John Marquis ( Millwall connection with Harris and now Malone) although he has got a year left, but played 36 games last season, so Rovers may not let him go?" It hardly sounds like the OP's ITK!! That’s an absolutely classic forum born rumour 😂

It is an interesting 'project' though and they are sadly more than likely going to be bypassing us in the pyramid in the next couple of years. I've seen a lot of loyal Wrexham fans moaning about the project, over the last few days. They are saying they were promised they will put their local fans first etc. Now they are saying they have sold out tickets for Uk based fans and only international tickets remain, for their game! They are becoming more and more like a circus. Yes they are trying to grow their brand, but tickets should never be held back for international fans! At least we can get tickets the majority of the time 😂. I think they will get over it when they steamroller their way through League Two next season and have a completely transformed home stadium from the cash injected

Signing a 20 year old keeper... Great. This transfer window is starting to remind me of one's gone by. Quite clearly our ground stops us from attracting the type of quality players needed to compete at the higher escholongs of L1. As for losing Marquis, be a bad move for us. He does a real job and has the experience in this league needed. I hope we just don't sign kids on loan, very rarely come off, and it's not sustainable for the football club. We've had plenty of great loan goalies in my time. This kid is extremely highly rated. It could be a gem.

The latest letter of objection doesn't seem like the typical letter from a concerned local resident, I wonder who's behind such a detailed letter of objection: I am writing to express my strong objection to the planning application submitted by Bristol Rovers for the construction of a new stand at the Memorial Stadium. While I understand the importance of development and progress, it is crucial that such projects adhere to current standards, regulations, and the prevailing local and national planning policies. The application in question, however, fails to meet these requirements and contains numerous deficiencies that warrant serious reconsideration. First and foremost, the contention that the proposed development is no more harmful than the 2008 planning permission is inherently flawed. The 2008 permission has expired and was never implemented, rendering its relevance obsolete. Moreover, the evidence upon which it was based is now outdated and no longer consistent with the current planning landscape. As the local development plan has changed since 2008, it is inappropriate to rely on this defunct permission as a basis for the current application, and therefore, no material weight should be given to it. To ensure that a sound and robust decision is made regarding this planning application, it is imperative that the applicant submits the following reasonable environmental information: 1) A comprehensive transport assessment must be provided to demonstrate the impact of the proposed additional capacity on the surrounding road network and car parking. 2) A Travel Plan should be submitted to demonstrate the measures the applicant will implement to minimise reliance on private cars, encouraging sustainable transportation options. 3) Detailed section drawings must be provided to illustrate the relationship between the proposed development and nearby residential buildings. Particular attention should be given to potential privacy infringements and amenity harm, with appropriate mitigation measures proposed if necessary. 4) Details of the proposed cladding materials, supported by high-quality rendered CGIs, must be presented to demonstrate the external cladding's aesthetic quality. The Council should be given the opportunity to approve samples, considering the prominence of the rear elevation 5) A thorough daylight and sunlight assessment must be conducted to evaluate potential harm to nearby residential properties and to propose suitable mitigation measures. 6) A comprehensive noise assessment is required to determine the potential impact of crowd noise, public address systems, and fixed plant on nearby residential properties. Mitigation strategies should be included, building upon the 2008 permission's requirement for a noise insulation scheme. 7) A lighting assessment is necessary to ensure that any lighting installed in or on the new stand does not harm the nearby residential amenity. 8) A comprehensive construction environment management plan should be provided, outlining measures to mitigate harm to nearby residential properties during the construction phase. It is essential to address air quality, noise, and vibration issues promptly. 9) A crowd management plan is needed to demonstrate how the flow of supporters entering and leaving the stadium will be managed, along with any new mitigation measures that may be required. 10) No piling should take place until a ground investigation and piling risk assessment have been carried out and approved by the Local Planning Authority, considering the potential for contamination as identified in the 2008 application. 11) A survey should be conducted to assess potential interference to television and telecommunication reception due to the size and materiality of the stand. Any impacts arising from the development must be adequately mitigated 12) A comprehensive drainage strategy is essential to demonstrate how surface water will be managed to avoid increasing flood risk elsewhere. 13) The application lacks detail regarding potential sustainability measures during both the construction and operational phases. The applicant must include information on how the proposal incorporates sustainable practices. In conclusion, the absence of essential information and the reliance on an outdated planning permission make this application unfit for consideration by any reasonable local planning authority. As a concerned member of the local community, I urge you to delay any decision on this matter until the applicant provides the requested information, and the public has been given the opportunity to participate in the consultation process on the additional information. A transparent and inclusive approach is essential to ensure that any planning decisions made align with current standards, promote sustainable development, and protect the interests and well-being of the community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will carefully consider this objection and take the necessary steps to address the deficiencies in the planning application. Wow that guy seriously needs to get a life

He has no close control. I don’t! Loan to L2 until Jan and see if he can get some form back. I don’t disagree… my point was badly made to be honest - he is not a striker and I agree first choice should be move on. No idea other than ego why Barton persists with him … Huge Moment of truth in Barton’s leadership this year as if Loft , Evans and McCormick add little to zero again they will need to go in January surely? Have absolutely no concerns over Joey getting rid of players if genuinely not up to it. He’s probably the most ruthless of managers I can remember.

Not saying he's wrong but that's only one person blaming CT, on our match thread fans were blaming Belshaw for our first goal and Hoole for the second. A few comments on their forum as well; "Thompson,Tymon,Edwards,Taylor should be be nowhere near the matchday squad on the evidence of what I’ve just witnessed" "From this I’d hope Neil will see tymon, Edwards , Taylor, bonham and Thompson should have no future at the club" - Reply "Hard to argue with that - They're all League One at best" "Taylor on loan...Edwards let go" "Bonham, Taylor, Edwards, Stevens, Thompson and Brown are dreadful" "For me Wilmot isn't good enough to be a centerback..... and Taylor certainly isnt" "Taylor not good enough" "Taylor reminds me of a donkey." "Jesus Christ. Connor Taylor was in a different postcode. sh**e" "Taylor is poop." "Taylor having an absolute shocker so far, certainly can’t be a starting CB for us this season. The lad isn’t ready yet" - Reply "Better not be anywhere near a starting place" forum fans in talking sh**e shocker! 😂

This was more concerning 😬 True but he shouldn’t have been played the ball there with the very high press like that on him and where was the angle from the defenders to give him an easy option to pass to? He had nothing on from what I could see? Blaming Luca for this is a cop out. Sorry but this one was on Belly, total panic from him. He could have got rid. Passed it straight to their player ffs!

A fantastic option if we are looking to score no goals and watch a big lad get bullied by smaller defenders. I didn’t see anything to suggest he’s league 1 Stabdard in current context. He did not fit the tactics we ended up deploying imo, not his fault, huge potential and will score goals next season … I agree though not a fit for us

Is it true that Tom Davies from Everton is training with us? It's either him in Portugal training with us or its a twin.

He’s quality. Just fell foul of a bit of a tactical switch up from us. Was used in a way far from what he’s best suited to. If he’s in L1 next season he will score 15+

Rovers will probably end up selling Aaron Collins for the more realistic 2 million, whether that be Stoke City or Sheffield United. The club would grab 2 million, which would help sign two or three players. Cant always rely on loan signings. UTG. There’s no way in hell Wael’s Rovers would take 2mn for AC10 right now. Double that and you might be right. Just because we’ve been put over the garden barrell in the past doesn’t mean we will be now. 2m + CT would tempt me

Seen someone on twitter suggest the lad behind Belly could be Goncalo Cardoso who is a left footed centre back. He currently plays for Marítimo in Portugal. Does look like him in fairness. Was on the books of West Ham. View AttachmentThat’s extremely random! But could imagine us being in for a left footed CB

Imo no point him being here as #2, as he needs to play. A (good level) loan would be the right move.
