I hate sounding snappy or sarcastic towards you Parson but it sounds as though you're happy to applaud them all the way down to League 1 (and maybe beyond).

Could I repeat Mattyblue's question towards you, what is your opinion on the overall state of the Club and direction of travel?

A question that sounds a lot like trolling.

One can despair at the state of a club but enjoy a decent 90 mins effort from a team. I did.

It's a perfectly fair and straightforward question to ask.

Hypothetically, is it trolling to wax too lyrical about a team that can regularly produce a decent away performance but repeatedly stinks the place out at Ewood?

(Not something I'd accuse Parson of btw as I know he is genuine in his opinions but there are others)

You're beginning to sound a bit like like Ismael there, I didnt think it was a foul, but fouls get wrongly awarded or wrongly not given all the time.

Just because a foul was awarded it doesn't mean we automatically have to concede from it, it's our job to defend it properly, no matter what stage of the game we're at, then it becomes a complete non issue.

It's always someone else's fault with Ismael.

With respect Rev I think you’re a bit off track there. The discussion was about whether Hedges was “stupid” to make the challenge. Some think he was and some of us disagree. I don’t think anyone would say we don’t have a duty to defend any free kick awarded whether it’s a correct decision or not.

I do agree with your last sentence though

Of those players, who do you think are upgrades on those we had previously?

I'll give you Gudjohnsen over Gueye (which isn't particularly difficult), but the rest?

Think Alebiosu and Brittain is close one and Im a massive Brittain fan. 

Miller and Sanderson similar 

Think Morishita and Dolan could be close one given time

Big if. Equally, it will be very difficult to maintain the away form across an entire season, both will level out to a degree.

Lets hope so cos home form need improving quickly..

We are set up to play away from home. Hence why our away form so good.

Hard to close out games with some of the dreadful squad players we have.

If we taken our early chances yesterday game is over before that free kick

Gestede said we have a better squad at the start of the season. I know even you have agreed that he was wrong. So I dont get why you think we could challenge for the play offs with a weaker squad.

Cos anything could happy. Players could adapt and form improves or we get everyone back fit and stay fit. Also League is wide open

Nonsense. It’s the Wrexham match thread. Many posters, including me, enjoyed our performance at Wrexham. Or is that “waxing too lyrical” for you?

We'll have to agree to disagree there then. I can't stand Hedges but didnt think it was a foul nor did he do anything wrong in that particular instance.

However I think whether he did or didn't do anything wrong is virtually irrelevant and completely secondary to the fact we need to defend the free kick properly.

You're being uncharacteristically antagonistic and trying to get a rise out of me for some reason.

Not playing.

Moi? on his ignore list? Say it ain’t so, I have his books!

If you've bought my books you have both my thanks and my sympathy for having to read what I write.  But my thanks are genuine.

I haven't been ignoring your questions for any other reason other than it's not something I'm prepared to engage in.

Health issues over the past two years have made me realise that life for too short to engage in endless debates about things over which I have no control.  I love watching Rovers, and hope to do so for a good while longer, God willing, but that's as far as it goes. 

I'm happy to post about matches and players that I've watched but that's it.  I hope you can understand and respect my point of view on this.
