Hoole rejected a contract at yourselves. Rossiter was offered also offered a contract by yourselves as well as Stockport but opted to come here. If we avoid any major injuries, I don’t think we have a bad squad at all. Also looking like another decent player from Villa will be joining us early...
Josh Feeney set to sign on a season long loan from Aston Villa.
Judging by X, their fans are shocked as they thought he would be on the bench this season. Would be delighted with this one as he sounds too good for us!
We’re written off most seasons before a ball is kicked, yet we’re the longest serving club at this level now with 10 consecutive seasons, it almost feels like the ‘Sky Bet Shrewsbury Town FC League One’.
I was concerned at the start of the summer, but after seeing our transfer business to date...
Salop 2-1 Derby County (O’Reilly & Bloxham)
Derby still haven’t beat us in all competitions since 1995, quite remarkable. Apparently Tommi O’Reilly is one serious player, can’t wait to see how he gets on this season.
I’m not at our friendly vs Derby this afternoon, but apparently we’re dominating Derby and Rossiter is running the midfield. Some fans are saying to offer him a contract at HT!
We have Jordan Rossiter playing for us on trial this afternoon. Read from a few Bristol Rovers fans that he’s always injured but when fit a very good player. Wouldn’t be against him joining permanently but obviously it’ll be a huge risk with his injury record.
Joshua Kayode set to join Salop on a season long loan from Rotherham. 6ft3 so should be decent at getting on the end of crosses from O’Reilly and Shipley.
Thoughts Millers fans?
I watched a bit of Copa America and despite Jamaica going out in the group stage, this kid did look very good tbf. Lightening quick so should do more than okay against League One defenders.
The Yank commentators did say that he was getting plenty of interest from English clubs, any idea on the...
He started off well but has gone so far downhill I question how he’s a professional footballer at times. Seems like he has an attitude problem. Rumours that we’re looking to offload him but can’t find anyone to take him unfortunately.
Most arrogant and insufferable fanbase I’ve witnessed at this level across social media too. Takes some doing to overtake Wolves and Sunderland with arrogance but Brum fans have really taken the piss with it. Seen some of their fans genuinely believe that they should have an invincible season.
Don’t know anything about the lad apart from the standard ‘highly rated’ nonsense, but what an announcement video! Can spot Jon Nolan training with us in the video too.
James Bolton was outstanding for us and a big player in the year we reached Wembley twice. Bit unusual for a RB to be 6ft2 but for him it works. You won’t see him overlap much as he’s more of a defensive fullback than an attack minded fullback. Won’t see many wingers beat him as he’s strong and...
