'Squad is shaping up well' - How Bristol Rovers fans reacted to latest signing

Bristol Rovers fans have been reacting to the news that the Gas have signed striker Tyler Smith.

The 20-year-old has joined Rovers on a season-long loan from Sheffield United after spending last year on loan at Barrow and Doncaster Rovers.

Rovers fans had been crying out for a new striker, and many were keen to see the new attacker in action.

Daniel Ball: Squad is shaping up well. Still in need of at least another winger, playmaking midfielder and possibly another striker though.

Nick Hibbs: Welcome to the Gas, Tyler - "a star in the making". Just give us all you’ve got, that’s all we can expect. No more. No less.

BRFC Discussions: Good loan signing that Tyler Smith is. Really good goalscoring record in the National League, scored a couple at League One level and was called "a star in the making" by the then Doncaster manager. He is only 20.

Chipstead Gas: Surprise signing but lets be honest we have been surprised by loan signings in the past like Lumley, Sweeney et. He's a young kid, lets see what he's got.

Weeksy: Decent. Needed another striker in and realistically it was always going to be a loan.

Harley Rich: Scored as many as Jakubiak in considerably less games but still not overwhelming. In an ideal world would like another more senior striker if we could get rid of Reilly or Nichols.

Lee: I think as Donny were pushing for promotion they decided to stick with their experienced choices because he only joined halfway through the season. Apparently played quite well when the manager chose him though. Very very quick, too.

Concurrental: Sounds like a solid loanee at just 20, then. Hoping he can push on this season.

Rob: Good move to see if he can make the next step up, looks more than capable to me.
