Squad

Taylor Moore breaks a bone — 100 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 100 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Malcolm Ebiowei: 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

Shaq Forde hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bristol Rovers can pretend not to have heard.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Harry Wilson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
