2023. 2024. Aren't we all supposed to be riding hoverboards by now?
I didn't realise that 'Boro are rock-bottom - at least after today's defeat. Meanwhile, Preston North End are top! You might have thought it would have been the other way around. Hopefully it's a season of playing clubs at the right time, and we can do PNE over twice. Surely they can't keep that going for the entire season with a squad like that.
I also think Ipswich Town will tail-off at some point. And perhaps even Plymouth (even if they are in the bottom-half) who I thought were very lucky to get anything from our game at their place, let alone beat us by three goals due to silly mistakes from us.
I reckon Russell Martin could be the first managerial casualty of the season. I watched their opening game at Sheffield Wednesday and, although they won by one goal, they were a typical possession team with no cutting edge. They are obviously being found out, and I think confidence in Martin will nosedive very quickly.
All in all, a very interesting Championship season, and one that I think we probably feel disappointed to be sitting 8th in already. Come on, Rovers. Let's do it under the radar and remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint!

Meanwhile Darragh Lenihan scored for Boro to rescue a point at Sheff Wed. Russell Martin must be edging closer to the exit door at Southampton after they lose at home again, this time to our opponents on Saturday, Ipswich Town. Who would have thought that the top two teams would be PNE and Ipswich?
