Squad

Adam Smith signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Adam Smith and Bristol Rovers agree another 2 years.

Market

Northampton Town join the queue for Jaydon Bishop

Add another name to the list: Northampton Town have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jaydon Bishop. The answer from Bristol Rovers has not changed — yet.

Squad

Luke Harris in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bristol Rovers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Jack Murphy at Bristol Rovers

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jack Murphy is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Dion Sanderson falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

Bristol Rovers release $310.8K for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Squad

Oliver Wilkinson: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bristol Rovers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

LA Galaxy come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bristol Rovers did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Ollie Dewsbury puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bristol Rovers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Only the photograph left for Ollie Dewsbury

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ollie Dewsbury will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bristol Rovers the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Bristol Rovers

Dion Sanderson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
