    Starting today, kick off 12:30 if anyone wants to watch. Ben Purrington is in their team too.

    Should have had an assist, but his teammate puts it wide

    And another could be assist, first was a cross/pass into the box, the second a longer ball to put the player behind the defence

    Had a left footed shot blocked in a packed box

    watching the second half and he's in the middle of everything rovers do, even every celebration he's right in the middle....

    Newport County defence is comical...

    Performance reminds me a bit of coady.

    calm, assured, completes passes, makes progressive passes.  Interceptions. 

    Should progress a lot here.

    Steve Evans is unrecognisable...

    He definitely looks a cut above, albeit Newport are poor. Looks to be a very shrewd loan move

    Given Gough's age and lack of experience he looks very composed...

    4-3 now. Gough not being taken off says a lot at his age.

    Pretty sure he’s been shifted to RB too

    Yeah did seem to let his man go for the second goal

    He does seem to get knocked over a bit too easily. He’s still quite wirey and could do with bulking up a little

    Bristol Rovers are certainly worth the money this season; 2-3 and 5-3 in their two League games
    Bet fans wanted a refund for the boring 1-0 loss to Peterborough in the League Cup

    Part of the learning process and reason for the loan.

    He needs to start producing Kayne Ramsay-style highlight reels.

    The biggest praise I’ve seen so far.

    Hope this doesn’t turn out like Kanu where it was blatantly obvious we loaned them to a league well below their ability

    I think that’ll be the case here, and the issue is L1 clubs don’t want to or don’t have to gamble (from their perspective) on inexperienced u21s from a club at our level.

    Whatever happens he needed a bigger challenge than u21 football and wasn’t going to get many first team minutes had he stayed with us.

    This is a fantastic point. League 1 clubs will probably in the main want the pick of the local PL clubs U18s/21s talent. Which leaves our best young talents either looking at League 2 or Scotland for loans.

    It’s fine though because unlike with Kanu we didn’t play Gough in our cup game so he’s free to move to league 1 in January if he keeps playing like this
