U21 team to play Watford in the Premier League Cup tonight

Nah, there is a clause in his contract that kicks in after 59 minutes!

Now that is feckin' brilliant!

Doctor Feelgood And The Interns - Mister Moonlight

Awful signing

on at 60 minutes,injured at 70,out for the season

Mr Mister - Broken Wings

Seeing the Aussie smugness turn to panic was nice.

You beat me to it!

Precisely. For that reason I certainly wouldn't consider Liverpool FC to be worthy applicants and probably not Rovers. It's a bit like Bill Gates asking for a charitable hand out. Whether or not we SHOULD have received funding though isnt really relevant. If we were turned down, what else have we done about it? I think we can guess the answer.

Even if he does I expect we are on a hiding to nothing with him. He’s been built up in the minds of the supporters, and the words of the Ewood brain trust, to be the answer to all our problems. Unless he’s extremely good he will no doubt divide opinions in the extreme. Half of us will see him as a pointless signing and waste of money, half of us will cling onto any positive shoots he shows and advocate for patience. Pretty desperate for a player who didn’t even have a Wikipedia page til well after we signed him!

Lord Lucan on Shergar

Hedges gave the ball away high up the pitch and then was completely out of position leading to one of the goals though.

If Preston are a sleeping giant then We are world cup champions 🤣🤣

For me I think it was more a criticism of Mr Aloof's logic. Hedges isn't very good in the air and is our best left sided wing back. It was a double whammy for me and whilst it didn't cost us the game it contributed to it in my opinion.

That's harsh on Hedges. In fairness Hedges was not in the mix for the 2 goal header challenges in the Derby match. Miller and McLoughlin were outmanouvered by Morris for the first and Alebiosu was wrong side and not strong enough for the second.

If you read what the Heritage Lottery funds, it's clear that they are there to preserve heritage wherever they may find it. Sadly, they have a limited amount of money and an avalanche of worthy applicants. At the seminar I attended they made it clear that they welcomed bids from any sporting club - amateur or professional.

Weekend bump with (arugably) the highlight of the 1980s as Rovers lifted a trophy at Wembley. Where you there? Did you think that was as good as it was going to get? The first of four visits to Wembley in the following eight years.

Yeah, he said something about Hedges height allowing us to win more aerial duels. And we conceded 2 headers.

Did Ismael try to justify it by saying Hedges was an inch taller than the other two or am I completely imagining that? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.

Someone mentioned Pickering, but Ribeiro too? I can't think of any reason you'd play Hedges LCB with those two available.

More likely to see Lord Lucan or Shergar...

Wonder if the international man of mystery himself will make an appearance on the bench tonight?

'January ain't easy ya know' will be getting an airing soon, then it will be 'window doesn't close until the start of February so as long as we've got a few bodies in by then it's fine'. We needed defensive reinforcements yesterday, suicidal decision to sell Hyam on deadline day to the mighty Wrexham, potentially cost us Championship status there and then but hey, at least that money will help them meet their targets from the accountants back at HQ.
