Wendy Saintss Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 33 minutes ago, FTOF said: Given that two of the most recent topic headings on The Bristol Rovers Forum are "We desperately need a decent striker" and "2 days to go then and no sign of strikers", I think it rankles with the Bristol Rovers fans too. Even after we signed Gavin Reilly last year, loads of punters (mostly the ones who have had a meltdown this close season) were saying the same things on here!

He didn't score against Partick Thistle. Gavin Reilly's 11 league goals last season certainly helped us win the Championship. But 11 goals with the runaway champions playing alongside Lewis Morgan & Cammy Smith, suggests that his goal tally in the top flight might not have been prolific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Mr Optimistic said: Some posts on here are so stupid, unintelligent, idiotic, brainless and moronic they really do not merit anyone wasting their time with a counter argument! After winning the title in April JR was asked "when the planning for next season begins" he replied "last month" - that advanced preparation went by the wayside when he was poached. It took two weeks to replace JR so when Stubbsy came in we were by then two and a half months behind schedule. Spending the first two weeks of his tenure chasing Showbiz Stars, in particular taking an expensive risk on Heaton, just exacerbated that problem and it currently looks like neither of them are automatic first picks! We’re going into the league campaign understrength - not all of it is Stubbsy’s fault but some of it is, whether you like it or not. I look forward to your synonym laden reply!

Competitively, we played Thistle in the Betfred cup where we (and Reilly) scored no goals. We also played Aberdeen in the Scottish cup , where Reilly scored a goal.

Stewart did O.K. However, I don't think that he's got the type of physique that can be "bulked up". I think that will hold him back in his career.

Lord Pityme Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Whats missing from Stewart's game is what makes Crouch, Kane, Fellani and all the tall players effective.... and that is being a sheer pain in the ass, being all over defenders, drawing fouls and always an aerial threat. He needs to be meaner, uglier and a feckin pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
