Rovers v Magpies, should be a decent season opener. We've a small squad and it looks like at least four won't be fit enough for the opening game. However, Jordan Turnbull, who's missed most of pre-season through injury is likely to be available in central defence with Brad Walker moving into...
I’m surprised that so many of the Twitter pundits have Accrington doing badly. They beat us comfortably last game and had their management team, including Ged Brennan in place back then. Morecambe, with their financial issues and Newport and Barrow with changing management look more likely to...
1 year deal for Omari Patrick. He's looked reasonable in pre-season trials and Adkins' playing style may suit him better than recent approaches. We'll see.
Signed mainly as left-back cover, but has height and is reasonably quick for a defender and we are short at the back due to injuries. Reports seemed encouraging about his pre-season cameo last night. Expect Zak will get game-time but mainly off the bench
A decent 3-1 win for Rovers over a strong if not full strength Blackpool xi featuring Robbie Apter. Injuries meant Brad Walker played in central defence, while Omari Patrick, still shown as a trialist scored the third goal/
3-3 draw at AFC Fylde. Game started badly with new signing Declan Drysdale going off injured in the opening minute. Had to use Education Hub player Jack Bentley (Jim's son) as makeshift central defender and he struggled. 2-0 down at h/t became 3-0 just after the break. However, Adkins made subs...
Any thoughts on Omari Patrick, Sutton fans? He’s been training with Rovers and played as a trialist in the Preston friendly. We were interested in him during his spell at Carlisle, but didn’t seem to make much impact with you?
Tranmere did play a BCD friendly at Preston on Tuesday, winning 0-2 with Josh Davison getting both. 4 trialists involved at some stage, think the two from Blackburn plus a former Leicester young keeper and Charlie Kirk.
Think Charlie Kirk was a triallist at our BCD win at Preston yesterday. Any thoughts, Crewe fans, his second coming didn;t seem to work too well with you?
Any thought on Declan Drysdale, Newport and Gillingham fans?
He was a triallist for Rovers yesterday, having first being one of the kids that played well in the 0-1 NL league season ender win at Maidstone back in 2017, when Mellon was trying to protect any more of the depleted first team...
Morecambe feature 3 Rovers old boys amongst their new glut of signings after the embargo lifted.
George Ray was iffy for us, seemed to do ok at Barrow
Paul Lewis probably had his best spell at Rovers as a makeshift forward under Keith Hill. Doesn't have the creativity or positional sense to be...
Lost 2 60 minute games at Blackburn BCD 3-0 and 5-3. First match was a strong line-up for the hosts against what seems likely to be close to our first choice xi until any new recruits arrive, the second showed a lack of defensive depth with no natural defender to fill the left-back spot.

Two signings from non-league clubs for Rovers to file under development.
Josh Williams Midfielder from Connah's Quay Nomads 19 year old and made a Wales C squad, 2 year deal.
Sol Solomon Striker from Marine 23 year old on a 1 year deal. Bit surprised he hasn't been given 2 years also, fairly...
Cameron Norman looks like a decent recruit for Rovers, though his signing-up interview suggests he’ll be playing on the right rather than in central defence. Highly thought of at Newport, so what went wrong at Milton Keynes?
Bit of a meh signing. Lost his way at Rovers after a bright start and was released from his contract, then signed by Stevenage. Chipped in with a few goals at L1 level but didn’t earn a new deal. Unsure he has the mental toughness to make a significant impact.
