EVO always somehow comes up smelling of roses......

Some run that and to think they were struggling at the bottom end when he arrived.

Ex-Millers player Richard Smallwood at Bristol Rovers.

Bristol Rovers signed a player, I thought the Millers should have signed at the beginning of the 2025 - 2026
season, the player centre-half Alfie Kilgour.
Kilgour played for Mansfield Town, up to the end of the 2024 - 2025 season, refused a new contract, he played
against the Millers last season for Mansfield Town, he was a outstanding defender, plus he could move the ball
from the back, which we could have done with his talent this season.
I posted on Millersmad, that we ought to go for him, when he turned down the contract with Mansfield Town,
Nigel Clough wanted to keep him at Mansfield Town, but it seems Bristol Rovers offered better terms.
Steve Evans made Kilgour captain of Bristol Rovers.
