I would drop Evans - Needs a damn fine kick up the arse - He is way better than currently showing. One moment of quality this season the free kick at Burton. The rest has been woeful and the penalty last night was embarrassing. I don't think Coutts has been much better - gives the ball away far too easily in dangerous positions ... Loft deserves a start ahead of Marquis who has been a real disappointment so far although we are not playing to his strengths. It's no wonder we are struggling ... we only have a few consistent decent performers at the moment - Collins / Belshaw / Finley - the rest are either still growing into the season or actually haven't realised the season has started yet. Coutts isn’t 100% match fit yet, can tell that. When he is, he always buys himself that half yard on the ball. Was the same last year took him a good 10 games to get sharpe

Christian Doidge set to sign for a L1 club on loan, reports in Scotland. I’d be happy with that. Think it’ll be his home FGR though! signed on loan for Kilmarnock until the end if the season

I’m hearing a new fax machine has now been sourced, the problem is that it was imported and has a EU electrical plug. JB has sent Andy Mangan down Asda to sort a adaptor but time is running out.

Declan John, left back at Bolton, might be available. If we wanted a slightly more experienced option/competition for Gordon.

Evans played well last season but there’s no space for sentimentality and if we’re underperforming he should be dropped like any other player.
The time on the bench might help him recoup his form. Could be that were overworking him given his current fitness levels. Wasn’t he injured a short while back?

Imo Antony Evans is absolute quality, tremendous vision; cannot believe with a month of the new season gone, why anybody would say otherwise; this fella helped get BRFC promoted a few weeks ago, pull yourselves together. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

As we said last season Evans and Collins function well together. Collins is no longer ahead of him. The dynamic has changed.
Also, when you have attacking players like E Anderson,S Nich ,L Thomas ,H Anderson playing the forward killer passes are in greater option.
How we fit in Loft and Marquis i dont know but Collins is better centrally upfront.
Joe needs those attacking players to come in rlse trouble may lie ahead.

Really shocked we have heard nothing yet again …
Surely they aren’t going to announce five people in one announcement - equally …. surely they have deals done.
Most strange !

No players is immune to criticism because of their past accomplishments, Evans included. He’s started off this season slowly but I retain hope we can get him back to his best. He put in an absolute beauty of a through ball last night on the right hand side, possibly for Harvey Saunders who I thought was disappointing overall

My niece took over a year to return to work after longcovid and was up and down so who knows how it has affected him?

Don’t think he’s 100% yet.

Joey always said it was going to go down to the final day as far back as 2 weeks ago - not sure why the surprise! Tomorrow is going to be a busy one...

Reminds me of those who wanted Alan Shearer dropped before Euro 96 because he was going through a bit of a goal scoring drought. Luckily the man who mattered (Terry Venables) knew best. I trust JB to know how to get the best out of Evans, imo that means persevering and letting him find his peak form and fitness.

English Football League Owen Beck [Liverpool - Bolton] Loan Josh Martin [Norwich - Barnsley] Loan Edouard Michut [PSG - Sunderland] Loan Baba Rahman [Chelsea - Reading] Loan Brandon Thomas-Asante [Salford - West Brom] Undisclosed . Meanwhile the big rovers story of the day on the website and twitter is Captain Gas recounting his day at the mascot’s race…surely even Rossiter’s retrospective three match ban is more important than that? Transfer wise well we’re still not seeing the value at the end of the window JB predicted would get shaken out and those arrivals he said would be worth the wait are making us wait some more. I expect a couple of loans tomorrow but I doubt they were our original targets…still neither was Elliott last January so it might not be a bad thing.
