The Squad 2022-23

[Boz]

Might Burton get more of a look-in this season? It’s only the first game of pre-season , but the Twitter account suggests he was quite involved in the match and got a goal. Jake does have pace which is a rare commodity in the current Rovers team. Could do without Jolley’s injury being serious.

He has been around the first team squad for a few years now, whereas most of the other youngsters of his cohort are long gone. The coaching staff must see something in him to have kept him on.

After the debacle when he started at Northampton and was then shipped out again I was amazed we gave Burton another contract. With expectations we’ll be in the promotion pack I’d be amazed if he featured. The club must see something in him but surely by now he would have had more than a very small piece of first team action if he was good enough

 

[Boz]

Sparky, I doubt he’d be a first team regular, but with the 5 subs rule Jake might be a handy player to have on the bench, particularly if the additional striker we bring in also lacks pace.

Yes very true plus if we don’t bring in a pacey winger Burton can play wide right

Kyle Jamieson who was the central defender triallist today, doesn’t get a good write up from fans of former clubs Barrow and Oldham. Hope we can find better, though he’s unlikely to be first choice.

Hopefully they've got others lined up Boz.
The trialist keeper has had a varied career and has had long spells as no.1 and then no. 2 at a reasonable level - sometimes dependant on the manager at the time and the odd injury. At 35 he's no chicken, but not necessarily too old in them of keepers. Player of the season last year at Carlisle and then released - go figure. I was defo hoping it'd be someone good enough with the pedigree to challenge for the no.1 spot. Not sure it'd be him, but you never know. That's if he's signed.

The triallist keeper(Howard) did well at Carlisle last season, but released as their manager prefers to have a younger goalie. The keeper Rovers were initially
interested in went elsewhere, I don't know if the keeper we signed from Bamber Bridge, Hewelt, is anywhere close to first team action, so if he's good enough don't have a problem with giving Howard a 1 year deal.

Howard has a decent pedigree and appears to have been mostly first choice at his recent clubs. He was Carlile player of the year last season which must be positive. Experience in Scotland and latterly in Lancashire before Carlile which seems to be a regular theme of Micky signings

From the highlights on the pre season thread Burton scored a good goal and also created a freekick in a dangerous spot by harrying the defender. He also seemed in decent amounts of space a couple of times and wasn't found. He is also yes as you say Boz very quick by our standards! I would hope yes he does get more involvement this season and for sure yesterday's efforts will help.

I don't think the trialist keeper was Howard think whoever it was is a lot younger than him

Suggestions elsewhere it was either Conor Robson from Stoke or Harry Tyrer a young Everton keeper. Both supposedly on trial this week at the Campus. No idea if true.

 

[O4anotherplayoff]

If it is Jaros then he is about number 5 In the Liverpool pecking order with zero chance of making it at Liverpool.

Jaros has now signed for Stockport on a season-long loan.

 

[Higgy]

Ref GK - Hewlet selected today v PNE.

 

[Sparky]

Strong rumours elsewhere that Doohan is signing for us permanently

Hopefully that is not the case - I suspect the comment yesterday elsewhere was a bit of a wind up. The latest from an ITK is that we have 2 options to choose from - mind you Hewelt played 90 minutes today I see and from the Twitter reports seemed to pull off a number of decent saves.

Mark Howard who we thought played on Saturday but didn't has signed for Wrexham

What a shame, when his non-existent Rovers' career was looking so promising!

The funny thing is on twitter they posted pic of his gloves and Wrexham fans thought it was going be Ben Foster as he has same gloves

Haha, yes, they are living in a little bubble at the moment. Can't wait for it to burst!
