Thanks, I had not read the Post article. Was concerned Belshaw was going.

I thought strange signing but must mean one of our keepers is moving on?

Ha ha - I'm Josephine Public! My son recently spent some time with a gentleman who had been approached with regards to investing in Rovers, which included the club having a new ground. I think it's fairly common knowledge that Wael and Lansdown are both open to having investors on board. Not tonight Josephine. The only thing I heard was that Wael was now open to outside investment (which he wasn't a few years back), but still wanted to retain overall control. Not sure how that narrative feeds in to a new Stadium becoming a reality. After 7 years, it would appear to be that we are moving towards as a new stadium with the speed of an asthmatic ant carrying a very heavy bag of shopping. Copyright Blackadder. (Sorry, off topic. Appreciate your comments BG. I'm a professional cynic and my hearts not in it). I'm sure though Wael has "a cunning plan"

My gut feeling (only based on a few matches I have watched live) is that we are not good enough to get promoted. Attack and midfield seem pretty solid and we look good going forward but the obvious issue is defence. We push a high line which is why we are good in the attacking half but on the counter the defenders are not quick enough and some of the defending is woeful.
I admire the style of playing out from the back and we look our best when doing so but many times I can see too large a gap between defence and midfield which means when pressured we have no option but to play long ball tactics. If we then lose posession it puts our defence on the back foot and midfiled playing catch up. It's why we ship too many goals. Promotional prospects are based on solid defence.

He did play U21 for England. Don't think he played much for Chelsea, if at all? 14 games for Chelski, scoring 1 goal. Better record than Timo Werner

That is a very decent percentage of the home support that will receive automatic banning orders. It might well have been 'good natured'. Perhaps supporters went temporarily insane after witnessing Tom Nichols scoring against premiership opposition. But there is no point in having "a law" that the EFL then choses not to enforce. If I’d been at any of our games where TN scored I would have gone insane and invaded the pitch.

I was condemned for pointing out the attack on the Scunthorpe goalkeeper and told I was making it all up.. Glad I was correct doubt those who criticised me will apologise mind you. I heard you say at the time, just hoped it wasnt true.

I hate this sort of thing. fans of a football team you don’t support and know zilch about in your constituency? Work them like a pub stripper with a jug. thingum won’t be MP much longer anyway, Greens will take this seat from Labour. Say what you like, and for the most part I agree with you. I’m happy though with any Rovers publicity that doesn't involve punching something or someone.

Not just Rovers but 'Gasheads' too, must be a first surely.

Do you think having The Quarters contributed significantly to the players fitness levels? If so then the investment is certainly justified. I dont think Ive seen a team in L2/L1 play at the pace they did for the entire game on Saturday.

We’ve had many good keepers at Rovers over the years, James must rank as one of the best. Congratulations Mr Belshaw, well deserved.

He was doing his job as a professional, protecting the players. An outpouring of joy spilling on to the pitch can be forgiven but what I witnessed was bordering on moronic that went beyond that. I dont blame the ref at all.
