Who tells the story…not 150 best, favourite…👍

So many wonderful players in that list. I was shocked to see that snake Dougan. In the early fifties we were struggling to avoid relegation to the third division (which would have been for the first time). Quigley and the ageing Langton were game changers as were Kelly, Elvy and Briggs. I've voted for the most obvious ones having to leave out the wonderful fans favourite Ferguson. People think of Garner like I do of Tommy Briggs.

Rushing Carter back to me seems like desperation for the sake of one game before a two week break. Maybe have him on the bench in case anything else goes wrong. Moving McLoughlin in the middle and bringing Riberio on the left seems more sensible to me. Also think he might go with experience with Forshaw rather than Montgomery from the start, and maybe bring his energy on after an hour.

Maybe look at the link for comments about his from a former Rovers vice chairman Walter Hubert.

I am going to be over positive and say a straightforward 2-0 win. The Iceman and his Axe with the goals.

All we need is Moussa Baradji .... The one day I don't put my earphones in my pocket for work 🫠

What if Edwards' wife wants to go and live in Dudley?

Eustace exploited Pears' weakness in the air in the first few minutes at their place. Now they have Carlton Morris who will be his normal, physical self.

Can already hear the fingernails of lady luck dragging down the blackboard of results for this one...Sadly I feel like Rovers have self-sabotaged and become victims of the hard man-slog that is Championship football just at the wrong time, with an otherwise winnable game at home against rag-bag opposition now becoming more of a challenge to compete. Coupled with the day being ostensibly one of 'celebration' it feels like there may well be (self-inflicted) rain on the parade, despite the sunshine and feel-good factor of three hard-fought wins on the bounce. Certainly the loss of our talisman keeper between the sticks, with his strong hand style, rapid reflexes, distributive excellence and ability to organise those in front of him, is a major concern. His 'understudy' blazed the ball straight out of play from a goal-kick on his first act of return midweek, demonstrating (worryingly) little or no change in approach during his time on the sidelines. Ho hum. On to the game. The Rams have also picked up a bit of momentum recently, and can be expected to want to dominate, although their manager will have less insight into Rovers tactics than he might had there been a more familiar nucleus to our line up than the completely re-engineered side his pseudo-Rovers-Rams will face. That might play to our advantage. Football is a game that is highly sensitive to factors such as confidence, and our team can rightly take some kudos from having ground out three successive wins following a painful fallow period. Stability and team spirit are highly volatile factors too, though, and we now have to chop and change with our ragbag journeymen international player soup squad to find a combination of resolve, drive and flair capable of battering the Rams. So, here goes.. Rovers rally, Rams retaliate - Rovers 1 - Derby 1 Rovers revert, Rams relish the resigner's return - Rovers 0 - Derby 2 Rovers Rampant Raiders (w)reak Resounding Result on Retreating Rams - Rovers 3 -Rams 1 Meh.. at least the sun will be shining and we will be in Blue and White at home 🙂 COYB! VENKSTERS AND VANITY PROJECT VENDORS OUT!

Hope this isn't his Dack moment. The lad looks capable of playing at the very top.

Big job for VI facing a very physical side without the intended backbone of the squad. (Toth, Wharton, Carter, Tronstad, broken foot guy, Cantwell)

Puts Edwards in a strong position to dictate the January transfer window at Boro...

Edwards would be crazy to take that Wolves job especially with Boro chasing promotion and looking decent. Wolves's job isn't an attractive one for me. Need major signings there in January to stop getting relegation or money to spend.

Exactly, JE's instructions shoot at every opportunity he will buggar up at least one. Heartbroken for Toth.

Does it get us past the January window?

I was thinking similar due to the way he just pulled up. Let's hope plug head sees it as a chance to get his shirt back and puts in some inspired performances. I won't hold me breath though. Wharton out too, Carter also making the decision to let Hyam go look as a stupid as we all knew it was. Not fancying Saturday at all now.

Finally got to watch the game. Good 1st half decent 2nd with some dodgy spells but we never eeally looked uncomfortable. Now I have not been a big fan of Miller but he had a very good game tonight MoM for me. Another incompetent referee so.e complete misses and phantom calls, one for a goal kick that should have been a corner if he can't see that he should not be reffin. I will leave it at that. Morishita needs a goal, I like Ohashi he is always in the wars and needs to be offered so.e protection by refs following the rules of the game. How bad is Toth cos Pears only action tonight was to kick the ball into touch and yes his hair looks stupid. Kind of dreading Saturday now, can we get special permission to play the legends?
