He was the sort of guy who tried to get off with everyone's girlfriends and tried to turn people against each other. He'd tell people's girlfriends that their boyfriends had cheated, stuff like that. Just a really awful snobby little sociopath. He was being a pest with someone's missus one night then claimed he was going to knock her boyfriend out (her boyfriend was supposed to be a pal of his too). After dark the lad went after him. When confronted about it he was almost crying and begged for forgiveness. This is the same lad who led the charge against Take That era Robbie Williams on the mean streets of Stoke. Didn't stop him to continue being a complete dick though. I was only there a year but mutual friends always bring up memories of him stirring up shit.

A Wharton for Morton. Pickering upgraded. Diaz sold, quality winger in. Gallagher upgraded. That's a decent team.

The best senior debut since Damian Duff against Preston in the cup. Needs to play more, that guy could be the engine the team needs.

He once told us him and his mates beat up Robbie Williams on a night out.

Anyone still having flashbacks about Buckley and JRC's performances in that first half? Someone make it stop.

I get Bowler but why wouldn't Styles come here? Has he had PL interest too?

Although I agree in principle, at the moment the team is more important. If we don't strengthen significantly we'll keep struggling. But we do need a decent goalscorer and someone to replace Brereton on the left if he's going. At some point we should get rid of some of the players who clearly aren't going to step up like Butterworth, Pickering, JRC and Edun and replace them asap.

There was a lad I used to know at Uni and he used to always refer to his home as "the potteries" like it was some weird cult. He was also a tw@t of the highest order. I can't explain how annoying the guy was. What a f***ing intolerable wretch. Not a week went by without someone wanted to slap him. I didn't know they were all like that.

Coventry forced him out for the cash, maybe he was very comfortable there. Robins didn't have any part in the decision too.

Is Van Hecke definitely coming in?

Blackpool are a point behind Rovers. If he's doing okay then isn't JDT? There won't be any semblance of scoring against the opposition because if Brereton doesn't score, the team usually doesn't. And it's been that way since Armstrong left. He took over with the team in a shocking state, star player on the verge of leaving, an injury to a very good defender and the guy who has provided the most assist and he's only 2 and a half months in.

He has played through the middle, I think they were short of strikers and played him upfront for a few games. I imagine he's played center midfield for cover too.

Are you deliberately overlooking the injury list, players leaving, lack of transfer activity and the fact he's been here for just 2 1/2 months? Let's not forget that the previous manager had 18 months of being goalscorer-phobic and it's easy to see why we're struggling for goals. We've been struggling for goals since January.

Some Burnley fans were in meltdown up till a week ago. Look at what a couple of signings has done for them.

On this it says he's played mostly as a left winger for Malmo. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/veljko-birmancevic-2022-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics

That's great but we won't be improved if we have bugger all on the left. Hedges has played well so far. Be nice if we could have Bowler and a left sided player too.

Bowler is a right winger, he'd take Hedges spot.

I doubt Rovers would pay £4m for him anyway. I'd prefer to see a decent left winger to replace Brereton tbh.

Forest want Bowler so we've no chance. https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/forest-bowler-blackpool-bid-transfer-7519712

Hirst started for Rotherham 3 times. Edit: 4 times, actually.

He's been here 2 1/2 months vs TM's 5 years.

Why is Gyokeres very unrealistic? Coventry need the cash it seems.

To be fair he was about 20 years old wasn't he? But still, underwhelming. And especially if we spend a lot of money on him. Can someone explain to Venkys that Adebayo is still only 24 so they can make a good profit on him when he's sold on?

They were fighting in the second half, there was just no one to put the ball in the net. Ref didn't help too.

Because he was very good when he came on today.
