You could say the new keeper replaces Ward and Jaakkola in the 1st team squad. That the new centre back replaces Thomas. That leaves Kilgour,westbrooke and clarkes replacements to come throught the door. I dont think Clarke will be replaced. Gibbons,Anderson,Gibson and Gordon can all play in that position. So that leaves 2 incoming. Pretty sure he will try for another LB/LWB as we need a first choice in that position to improve the team, pretty much every other starting player is good enough. Back up to Rossiter and another CB Plus one wild card, winger, playmaker if possible So I'd say 3 or 4 more This is what I'm hoping for.

I’ve had it confirmed that my ticket is now gone forever - I’m gonna have to buy a new bloody ticket for the rearranged game! 😂 I’m not massively surprised this is what the system does, but it’s not really put across in the clubs announcement at all. Surely that's no different than if you sell a concert ticket, if the gig was then cancelled you wouldn't expect to still get into the rearranged gig? Yeah, I’m under no illusions that it’s expected behaviour. It’s just annoying.

So, the first game of the ticket exchange and Boom. So, you sell your ticket coz you can't make it. If its postponed and you can make the replay, can you buy your ticket back? I’ve had it confirmed that my ticket is now gone forever - I’m gonna have to buy a new bloody ticket for the rearranged game! 😂 I’m not massively surprised this is what the system does, but it’s not really put across in the clubs announcement at all.

Seems Ethan Bristow deal is £150k plus Harvey Saunders. Decent fee being spent again. Fair play to all involved as he was linked with Port Vale / Posh this window too. sauce

Does anyone subscribe to Alan Nixon on twitter? Says that Middlesbrough want to end a loan deal early. Hoping it’s not about Coburn. i don't but that's on about cancelling their Muniz loan, not coburn

Some of these posts are hilarious. We are 8th in the league having just come up. We have problems to solve and are sometimes inconsistent, hardly a surprise.
Can’t really find it within myself to be angry in the slightest. Onto the next one, it’s been a great season so far and we’ve wobbled a bit recently.

Sad to see him leave but the right decision. Gotta say I'm amazed at anyone that doesn't feel a bit sad about this! A great guy and one of our own. Hope he does well.

Don’t think Collins is going anywhere this window and also confident we’ll be holding out for a big fee. Wael will be in no desperate need to sell, AC won’t be in a rush to leave, and I also think it’s best for him that he sticks around a little longer to further develop.
We’re miles ahead of where we were as a club 5 years ago. We may not be many league positions better off, but I think we’re a totally different force.

I see Chuba Akpom is attracting some serious interest from the Premier League/Bundesliga. Is there any possibility that if he were sold, Middlesbrough would recall Coburn? Or have we tied him up for the rest of the season?? Boro can recall if they want but have stated they want him to stay. They’re currently finalising a deal to bring in Cameron Archer - even if they lose Akpom I think they’ll want him to stay. He’s making great progress here.

Just doesn’t fit the way JB wants to play, and these things happen. A move is best for all parties - it’s testament to Alfie that 99% of Gasheads will hope he lands a great move.

Negatives for me is Gordon over Clarke (clearly its a personal thing between player and manager) Hoole should be playing at right wingback with Clarke on the other side! We need to utilise sinclairs talents by playing an offensive fullback like Clarke who after the 3 changes away at Derby showed! Evans is rarely in the game these days but LM is just as unreliable to replace him. Imo we need to strengthen at LB and a playmaker type player in January as we are going to make hard work of staying up comfortably otherwise. I honestly don't get this - I can't really criticise us atm. I'm over the moon with how we're performing, growing as a team, and playing with the kind of fighting spirit we surely all dreamed of a few years back. There's only one way we're heading and I honestly haven't checked the distance to the relegation zone in months.

Enjoy it while he's here, downside is he will be attracting attention, likely we would sell Wouldn't be so sure about that. Impressed by Wael's funding of the club recently and can't imagine selling our star players is high on the agenda - it'll cost a lot to find another AC!

There were other scenes though where he almost told the "story" of the game, which I think is what Joey's doing on this page. I can imagine him firing everyone right up while scribbling it down. Not sure how he's managed to do it without having to cross anything out mind - impressive. If it were me I'd be making mistakes all over the shop!

The flip chart is a bit of an odd one. It looks you could wheel it out for any game. Nowhere does it say "try to close Bannon down", or "expose the centre backs' lack of pace" for instance. Does this come out for all away games? It would somewhat dampen the impact if he wheeled out the same one for every game! Anyone that has seen Mikel Arteta on All Or Nothing (highly recommend) will know this isn't that uncommon. There's an infamous pre match speech he gives where he draws a brain and a heart to get the Arsenal team up for it.

I'm sure I read somewhere that this case is due to be back in court on October 31, does anyone know if this is still the case? It was acknowledged to be "late October" but haven't seen a specific date, odd how quiet it is.

And who broke up their play simply to get the ball rolling? Rossiter. Just does the simple things all over the pitch with well timed interceptions....very underrated. Glad I’am not the only one who appreciated how good Rossiter was Saturday, in fact either Loft, Gordan or Rossiter would have been worthy winners of the man of the match. We are starting to see why he was so highly rated as a youngster at Liverpool & is doing a similar role for us like Kante does for Chelsea of breaking up play with his non stop workrate , winning the ball & then passing it forward to our strikers. Another +1 for Rossiter from me. Awesome performance. I was aware of Rossiter from his younger days as a real promising talent - I'm surprised he's fallen into L1 but he's still fairly young. Hopefully this is where he gets fit for good. Our recruitment is top drawer.

For me it's a certainty and I know this post is a massive negative and we are still in September but this has all the makings of disaster written all over it and I'm not just talking about the football on the pitch. Take away our poor luck with injuries so far and look at the bigger picture and I see for 1 that JBs signings this season are his 4th or 5th choice down the line of main targets if not further 🤔2 and again I will be shut down for saying this but (Wael) needs to employ a man who has the knowledge of running a football club and who can make off the field decisions and push this club forward. For all his so say money and debt he's cleared for the club he has no sense on how to progress a football club and we/he is losing 84k per week at Rovers so where is the future for him and us financially? I can see Joey walking by January and personally I don't lay the blame with him for our poor start but Wael has been here long enough and I can't see him being any different than the previous when it comes to progression off the field. With many places to build a stadium and the option to redevelop our current ground we still see and hear nothing good and I'm afraid we are going back to league two. 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Unlucky for John particularly after his goal at Exeter... lucky for us Coburn has arrived in the nick of time.
