  1. Consolidation season so I view it as a success albeit there are a number of positions that need strengthening. Our league position is better than the two other teams that got promoted which would suggest a decent season overall. TM has brought some pride back to the club and its very noticeable that our owners are rarely mentioned anymore. I hope some innovative season ticket deals are announced as a fuller Ewood is something we'd all like to see. Big decisions for TM regarding ins and outs, new LB, CH, CM, and possibly CF and GK required. Danny and Charlie have been two significant players for us over the last couple of seasons, but are we now at the crossroads with both of them? Realistically, a top half finish next season, a few younger players establish themselves, and more emphasis on attacking football would be good.
  2. Well done Rovers, bumped into a couple of my Bolton mates this evening and, as Corporal Jones used to say.....'they don't like it up 'em' ?
  3. This is the match we must win!! My memories of my youth are littered with near death experiences at the hands of Bolton fans. My schooldays regularly saw me running umpteen miles in an attempt to escape the inevitable 'duffing', although it did serve me well as I went on to represent Bolton running in the 100 metres ? I blame my dad, if he hadn't brainwashed me, dragged me on the bus into Bolton, then the bus or train to Chorley to my uncles, then to Ewood every other week I may have had a much more positive outlook on things. As it is, I'm a Rover living in enemy territory. More recent times have seen Bolton fans enthusiasm diminish significantly, with the most ardent supporters either not attending games or not wishing to discuss anything football with me, (I do try to discuss their situation but they tend to dismiss me with an avalanche of abuse ?). Anyway, enough of my torrid time as a boy, come on my Rovers, let's have a good win to allow me to visit my local pubs with my head held high and a subtle smile for all my Bolton mates.
  4. Unfortunately not as I don't have sufficient spare time on my hands! ?
  5. Just trying to provide some balance against the drivel posted by the usual 'goldfish' ?
  6. Well done TM and the mighty blue boys. Think we are now at a point where TM is close to his best 11 after all the experiments. Next season is looking promising. Onward and upward, COYB
  7. No Charlie again and we win again, hmmmm! Great result today, we have gleaned a lot this season and hopefully our management team will make the right decisions. Big transfer window coming up!!
  8. They were doomed once Lambert was appointed.
  9. Think I can just make out Madon on the Blackburn End!! Then off to the pub, 'reckon I know 9 of the team for Saturday lads!
  10. No, I think it was Frankie goes to Hollywood
  11. I can see where you're coming from, possibly should've said 'anticipated lower than average attendance' - maybe against the 3 or 4 teams who have the lowest away following.
  12. Lambert sent off in the east Anglia derby! Looked like handbags to me.
  13. Why not offer a ST that can be paid over 12 months interest free rather than 9 months with interest? Make anticipated low attendance games £10. Cup games £10 with ST's having first dibs on their own seat. Catt B games £20 with £2.50 being redeemable at bar / club shop. But I do fall into the camp that believes success on the pitch is by far the biggest reason floating fans attend.
  14. Travis had to be subbed, he was on a yellow and very lucky to still be on the pitch, not to have subbed him would have been risky to say the least.
  15. Well that was a poor game. Travis had his worst game I've seen and I just hope it's a blip, but being next to Smallwood doesn't help. Thought TM was right with the players he brought off and Rothwell coming on, surely he must be due a start soon. Nuttall should be better than he is (if that makes sense), he just doesn't look ready for this level. Couldn't see what happened for their goal, but it looked too damned easy, will watch highlights later. Anyway, getting manager and player of the month certainly put the mockers on.
  16. Well done TM and Armstrong, obviously the panel who voted aren't swayed by certain posters on here!!! ?
  17. I don't want to get too excited yet....... what a positive move this would be........it can't be true.....can it?
  18. Just back, very bad traffic for some reason. Excellent performance today, probably the best of the season. Our midfield bossed the game, Evans and Travis didn't give them a moment on the ball, and Armstrong and Reed bombed forward giving us great attacking options. The back four looked solid, Rodwell reads the game so well and Bennett had his best game at RB. Well done TM and the boys, 4 wins on the trot makes us one of the form teams in the division. COYB
