    Oxford vs Chesterfield..

    Fair result. Thomas and Taylor should have had us out of sight by the hour mark, then Evans should have had a hat-trick. He's obviously got too much quality for this league (although I found the adoration from the away fans pretty unpalatable). Worried about losing Dunkley (hamstring) and...

    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    I'd be surprised. We've signed Christian Ribiero and have back up as well. Could he play further up maybe? Would seem a strange one. Just picking up the O'Dowda comment about him being our best player as well.... He has the potential to be absolutely terrific, but he wasn't in our Top 4 players...

    I went to the game yesterday. You could afford to lose that last paragraph, the rest would describe his performance very accurately.

    Nope, course it is! I've been pretty clear about my definitions I think - would like to hear yours as well, but up to you. Hardly anything in it I'd say, few extra people through the door at Rovers, never won anything bigger than the third tier. They're bigger but they're not a more attractive...

    I've had to look into this now to improve my understanding of the colossal Barnsley Football Club. Average league position of 42nd and an average attendance of 8k last year in League One, vs 51st and 7k in League Two. That doesn't say 'Significantly Bigger Club' to me. Bearing in mind the...

    It's amazing the psychic people of Barnsley are on such low incomes in my opinion. Predicting Wembley before they'd even made the playoffs.

    Didn't say we were. Said a club we outnumbered by about 10k at Wembley last season weren't 'significantly bigger'.

    I had Burton and Rotherham in my head, Barnsley as well. I don't think any of them are significantly bigger than us or Rovers, no.

    Ha, hardly a huge difference in size is there? Between Rovers, Oxford or any of the Championship bottom dwellers. I'm guessing Matty Taylor's priorities would be ... Money, Location, Club/Personal Development... We'll offer plenty of money, his hometown and he'll take over a lad's status that...

    Wright's gone to Sheffield United. Will go down as a legend here in my eyes, two promotions and rarely had a bad game. Comfortable in possession and an excellent defender. Lacks a bit of pace and height to be top class, and can easily see why we're going with Nelson, Dunkley and Martin ahead of...

    Pre-season Friendlies

    Drew 1-1 at Solihull. Wasn't great. Thomas scored.

    Happy with Nelson. As has been said, adds to the growing list of players that may have sell on potential. Ribiero's played 39 games the last two seasons, so hardly made of glass; but more cover for right back too. Skarz the interesting one. I'm concerned he'll struggle. Against any sort of pace...

    The fixture or fixtures you are looking forward to the most for the 16/17 season, and why?

    Think I've got 7 new grounds this year, so that'll make a nice change. 'Looking forward to' is a bit strong for Oldham away though, no disrespect. Swindon home and away. That's it.

    Fair point. Re-read your post and can see where you were coming from with Beano now. The parallels are clear. Was just the Appleton not rating Hylton thing that bugged me. People have been saying that for about four transfer windows! The only concern I have is that we now need a couple of...
