Anyone else surprised at the lack of content so far in pre season? Hardly any interviews, nothing with the manager all in our first pre season at the new training ground. 

Our media team is just dull, other clubs are so much better at posting videos and pictures as well as engaging with the fans. Kind of annoying really.

Just Perez and Evans missing now?

 

Guess evans is indoors with Justin working on injury recovery? Perez no idea? Potentially got COVID?

All adds to the mysterious, sometimes aloof, coolness of the clubs persona.

No it’s boring imo, before matchdays  they used to ask a question like: Name a country and we’ll reply with a player and the fans loved it. Why even have social media and not engage with the people that love the club?

Don't they still do that? With things like who people want to see content of etc are fairly common during the season.

Sounds like Evans is struggling. The usual case of fixing the problem and having a knock on effect on the areas around it ….

Evans is there, as reported by Tanner a few days ago. He's not in pics so probably indoors in the gym/physio. 

This picture looks like it belongs in a university prospectus... maybe a shiny pamphlet to promote The Seagrave Academy..

Exactly the same happened last pre-season and we were rife with rumours around players being fined for breaking protocol and Rodgers supposedly livid. I think the club just want to focus on training and hope that everyone else just fcuks off for a bit and leaves them alone. No problem my end if he would at least put out a statement saying g a left footed right winger was guaranteed to be joining and that I'd be on the panel.

Theyve done virtually a daily update and three interviews a week. More than they've ever done.

Not a word from the manager or staff though has there? I admit I have been away for a week and garried on rattler so forgive me if there has.

They did a podcast with an interview with Matt Reeves, but yes no manager interview. RL and co will have a virtual press conference with him after Burton and each of the pre-season games so we'll start to get lots of info coming through from Saturday.

There’s a clip of Pep doing the rounds where he says pre season is the only time he really gets to do proper coaching. If this is what Rodgers is concentrating on as well as transfers, then I really wouldn’t blame him ignoring interviews to say things such as ‘the lads look sharp’ or ‘we got the balls out today’

Would prefer he spends 100% of his time preparing the team then talking to us.

If that's all you have to be annoyed about the club is doing pretty well.

I think all the Belgians are still on holiday, aren't they? Anyone who went far in the Euros will be.

Could be. So that'll be Tielemans, Praet, Castagne, Kasper and Ward still to return, any others? 

[RowlattsFox]

So with Ward and Kasper not there yet are we expecting Daniel Iverson to get an opportunity in these first couple of games?
