Derek Shaw must be involved somewhere.?

Yep. Utterly cowardly pre-meditated act on someone who was on the floor. He acted like those vile scumbags who kick someone in the head after they've already been knocked out. At least those goons have the 'excuse' of being pissed. Did he do Mulgrew in the same match? The context is he knew what he was doing. When WBA scored he ran over to the Rovers fans to goad them instead of running the opposite direction to celebrate with the rest of his teammates.

Born in Garstang and on Rovers books till L/pool nicked him off us aged 11.(acc to Wiki) His career hasn't been great TBF. He's played 4 games for Cambridge on loan. You need to stop talking to Nicko

You may find Page 3 of this very topic raises a chuckle

Finally.

Press play. He tells you 6 weeks. I can't do anymore

6 weeks till he's back in training. It's going to be March at the earliest till he's available to play you'd think.

In the spirit of goodwill to all men and Auld Lang Syne and all that stuff, I hope Raya smashes J-Rod in the face tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Has it been bombed?

I think we'll get 2019 off to a great start with a 2-1 win.

West Brom always conjure up three images. Carlton Palmer coming to Ewood some time in the 80's and being beyond brilliant. This:- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH WHAT A GOAL! But best of all this:- One Simon Garner...….?

Ian Herbert, Jen and LInz to reform Mike Flowers Pops. Groovy!

The next manager will be someone out of work who has got promotion to the Premier League before, no matter how long ago - just like the last 3 managers (and near miss Warnock) That's the level of thinking that goes into our managerial appointments. Lump on King Kenny if Mogga gets sacked.

Very enjoyable. Thanks for doing it. You're all a lot prettier than I thought you'd be Not sure about the Sheff Utd red décor though.

A perfect description of where this team is at currently. No cutting edge and can't defend. They need to get back to what they were doing earlier on the season when we were nicking 1-0 wins.

He didn't have £7m to spend on a striker. Or even £1.75m on a 'wide forward'.

Not heard of any links yet. We need Chaddy back to take charge of the links

If you think it's a League 1 squad then how did you expect us to maintain our good start? By your own assessment we were massively overachieving being in 7th. That wasn't going to last with a League 1 squad. Spending £10m on players that have not improved us is the real crime here.

It's all relative. 6 points based on our current form is a good return. The caveat being our current form is appalling. 'Good enough' is also relative. What is good enough will depend on the owners and Mowbray's agreed objectives and targets. If it's survival then limping to safety is good enough. If it's mid-table safety then our current form is now verging on not good enough. If a top 10 finish is the target then Tony could be in for a bollocking soon. Given the summer outlay and Mowbray keeping his players the summer before, I think Venky's might be getting a bit concerned by now. It hasn't gone well since Mogga signed his long-term contract. Personally I think mid-table is a good achievement for this season. Our form does have to change and change soon for that to be achieved.

You are, but not that for that reason?

Time-scale mooted? I think it needs to go. It's an appalling stand and totally incongruous to the rest of the ground.

They play where the winger would be. I have no idea why he does it either. He only does it on the left though normally and AA's goals and assists will tell anyone that it isn't working. '2 and a half' attackers is the bullshit mantra.

I think I may have quoted t'other fella but from the quoted bit in your reply to him. Humblest apologies sir.

No logic to that. We do have 'wingers' they just can't play on the wing (Armstrong). TM calls them 'wide forwards' but they occupy the same space that wingers do.
