Martyn and Tom. if Tom Gorringe and Starnes ask you for any supporters' feedback to this interview, I'd be grateful if you could mention what I wrote in previous post. Ta.

good interview indeed. One thing I didn't like at all in Starnes' response about supporters financial contributions via last season's season tickets. I donated my money like probably hundreds of supporters did to the academy so why the hell can't he tell us how much money has been handed over - it's the supporters' money !! I can't understand why he wouldn't want to reveal how much !? Can anyone suggest a reason why he won't ? I'd say it'd be very good for supporter- club relationship to do so.

Happy with that. Good squad depth happening. We even paid a fee for him too. Our bench could be the strongest it’s ever been! It'll need to be strong. With the size of players we're signing, and five subs, we'd better order a steel one. Alright, I know.
Our Jonah's surname sounds a bit like a karate shout., so how about a unified shout of "AYUNGA" when he scores? just dragging out the AY - sounds good.

So you didn't think Davies was committed to the Gas and can't play at L1 level, right ? He's a very good League One defender, but his last 5 seasons; 2019/20 - 22 Games 2018/19 - 25 Games 2017/18 - 26 Games 2016/17 - 16 Games 2015/16 - 38 Games Averaging 24 games a season in all competitions when we play nearly double that in the league alone isn't great is it? Would your work be happy if you were unable to 50% of the time for your previous employers? and does your Wiki search tell you that he only played those number of games because he was injured for all the other games ?

Stroud ! Walker has got plenty of pace, can play on both sides of the pitch, can score from distance and has a few tricks so he's got a good chance. He's got to beef up a bit so he can handle challenges better and rough play a bit though - he's still young - 17 or 18. Good prospect.

Ultimately he is because of his injuries, good player when fit though! If my Grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bike. So you didn't think Davies was committed to the Gas and can't play at L1 level, right ?

Is it really, as I assume Ehmer and/or Baldwin were brought in on the basis that he was going to be out. Perhaps it means we're going to be playing 4 at the back after all with Ehmer, Baldwin, Kilrour and Harries fighting for the two CB places? Let's have some more players getting injured because they are no longer part of the starting 11 - we'll do well then, in it !

The only thing Fleetwood owner can't do and that's bribe people to go and watch the 1st team play - what was their average last season ? 2.5 k ??

Bold statement for sure. Our signings have been encouraging but let’s not get carried away. They’re good textbook signings but they cannot be judged until at least half a season in. Many were saying in January we’d had our strongest window ever but from my point of view they didn’t cover themselves in glory. The loan signings did well but the permanent signings hardly got a game in. I made sure I added that ‘could’ for good reason so didn’t sound too definitive. But so far I’ve been very impressed, I believe our centre backs are very well covered now, and fullbacks with Little and Kelly covering Hare and Leahy. Luca Hoole can also cover whilst learning. Forwards are almost sorted, Effective difference in strength and skill for JCH, Ayunga and Daly, with either Phillips or Hulbert breaking through. Wingers are almost there. Nicholson, Rodman, Barrett. if we could get JML back/failing that another winger to come in. Zain Walker also breaking through and Bennett could be called upon. I hope now we can bring in a creative creative CM Who can string this all this together. But even then Grant, Upson ogogo and Hargreaves can all do a job there, with Tomlinson also covering. Obviously I know we don’t know how this is all going to play out, but on paper alone, we are starting to look really strong all over the park, something I can’t really think we’ve had for the best part of 10 years. I still think we may need another 2-3, one in CM, a winger and possible another forward. But really if this was the squad for next season I’d be very happy for it to compete 50-60 games. you've got a lot of good Gas knowledge there but I'd add that Harry Warwick is the more likely one to support our 3 main strikers this coming season.

Big Chap for sure - with some supportive coaching he could just turn out to be an aspired signing. Well Done All.... If he scores early in his career with us confidence will soar. Good Luck Lad !! How tall ?

Is he the first Jonah to sign for Rovers ?

Difficult to sign a proven goalscorer / target man who is happy to be backup to JCH. I think Ayunga is a gamble worth taking. He's still young, certainly has the physique to cause defences problems and scored a good number of goals in National League South. As cover for JCH and an impact sub I think he could do well and should only get better. Yes very true. We've signed a few players on loan or permanently from Prem/Champ clubs but it's also worth a punt to sign a young free scoring player from the lower leagues to see what he can do. I'm sure it's not been an expensive move by the club either.

Not a good appointment in my opinion. Ben Garner is in his first proper job (academy doesn’t count Ben) and needs support from an experienced head.This guy is basically in the same position. The lead two (manager and assistant) should at worst be a blend of experienced and inexperienced with one taking up the slack for the other. For instance, GC bought in Joe Dunne who had experience in management. This can’t have been cheap either... Mansell (and Maher) are experienced heads.

2 and 1/2 half pitches !! Will that 1/2 be as useful as half a snooker table ?

Good game dominoes, but isn't it a pain to turn them all over afterwards?

I am not sure why the club lets the EP know about Rovers targets, sure there are always rumours on the internet, but I think the club should not broadcast the names of targets through any official medium and only mention players after they have signed. So far this summer none of our imminent signings has arrived maybe this will soon change we shall see. Edinburgh post: "We have a free column on the back page that we need to fill, so this Scottish player is coming back from the MLS and we need a team to link him with. Bristol Rovers? .... yeah that'll do! I also believe Donald Trump is a great man ! You can choose to believe or you can forget about it.

Just popped up on Twitter a few of minutes ago, no mention of the Sunderland guy 2m 🗞🔵According to reports, Bristol Rovers are set to announce the signings of former Gillingham captain Max Ehmer & former Chelsea youngster Josh Grant, this week. #BRFC #EFL_HUB so that agent was right - lots of clubs chasing Baldwin's signature.
