If you look at the mock ups on the previous page I think that the Red logo stands out even more and actually looks good on the kit - likewise with the white on the away. The black logo just merges into a black blob if you ask me (mind you, my eyesight isn't what it used to be!)

My first ever away shirt that one & I still have it. Mind you It's a bit of a tight fit these days being size 'Small Boys (SB)'! Does anyone know when 'Away' kits became just that and not a 'Change' strip which was traditionally only worn when there was a clash of colours? Is it some kind of new regulation or something driven more by the kit manufacturers to promote sales? Anyway, darker blue for me, halves on the right side, white shorts, blue socks (I always liked the ones with the red trim from the 80s). Away - have to agree with the suggestion of any colours as long as it's halves (barring claret & blue obviously). Red & black, yellow & black, green & black etc etc

Danny Boy all day long!

Artists & Soldiers. Artists & Soldiers, that's what you said Tony. Well, the artists you put on the field are more like Painters & Decorators and as for the soldiers, the ones I dip in my egg put up more of a fight!

I don't think it's pressure from above so to speak. But I think he's very aware that the tide is starting to turn with the fans. Whilst there's no hatred along the Kean/Coyle lines, people will only put up with watching defeat after defeat and listening to the same crap coming out of his mouth for so long and that time is more or less at his doorstep. I also get the feeling that there's a bit of discontent in the ranks adding to the pressure. So whilst I don't think he's in danger of getting sacked any time soon, he's basically in a job where the boss thinks he's great but all his work colleagues, suppliers and customers, who he used to get on well with, now all think he's a bit of a nob. That sort of pressure starts to manifest it's way out eventually.

Mowbray is starting to get on my tits now! I think we are seeing signs of a man under serious pressure starting to lose the plot.

Ok. U know me by now. I only post when I feel the need. Rodwell for me is the best midfielder we have by a country mile & needs to start in there. Rothwell needs to start - I don't care if he's run over TM's cat, he has to start. RS I love him to bits, but is out of his depth. Recall Downing at all costs, he's not the best ever but he's a CH and apart from DL is the only one we have! If I can see this and TM doesn't then, thanks Tony, but we have to move on.

? I think Warwick Davies would win his fair share of aerial battles against our back 4!

Tony Parkes for me - qualifies on all fronts. Player, Coach, assistant manager & manager (albeit caretaker). Over 30 years service to the club. If that doesn't justify a spot then I don't know what does.

I feel physically sick after watching those last few minutes! Why can't we ever see a game out?!! Merry fecking Christmas!! Cheers Tony!

Don't know if it's been posted elsewhere or not, but it looks like this one is available via the red button: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/34681/11587962/david-pruttons-boxing-day-sky-bet-efl-predictions

Wow! Off topic I know, but what just happened to the message board in the last hour! Are we celebrating the birth of a new baby boy! ?

Looks like our Tony might still have a soft spot for the baggies! FFS!

That squad under TM would absolutely waste the rest of the league. Don't get me wrong, I think he's too overly cautious at times but he's not daft enough not to realise that with cairney, Rhodes, gestede, Duffy, Hanley, king and Conway in his prime at his disposal he'd walk this division. That was an embarrassment of riches criminally underused imo.

Absolutely loving it! More labore than arte today but who cares. Great result! I have say I think we've got a bargain with Rodwell. He's different class to anything we have. Him & evans in midfield look great together. Get him tied to a longer contract Tony. I don't think we'll be able to hold on to him if he keeps this up. At least if he's on a longer deal we'll get a few quid when the vultures start to circle. Would also love to get reed on a perm. Am gonna enjoy a few pints tonight at my missus 40th and she has the bonus of me being in a really good mood from the start!

I wonder if Tyrone will 'donate' his user name to Ben when he finally cracks it!

I always knew there was 'something about you'! Don't worry Tom, I won't let anyone know that Kylie is on in Liverpool tonight - your secret's safe with me!

I think they've let a 5 year old control the main camera for this one!

Am I asking too much to question why it's not in HD? ?

Thanks for that Mike, I was starting to get cold sweats when I could only get the Ipswich match! Phew.

Oops sorry. Reading goals for instead of difference! Doh!

Realistically we can only go back to 5th with a win tomorrow - can't see us winning by more than the odd goal or two if we do manage to put them to the sword.

Not quite true - he played a couple of pre-season games for Watford whilst on trial there this summer. Granted, not exactly competitive games though!

Very good article. If he means the things he says & puts those words into action TM might (and I mean might) have just pulled off a masterstroke.

A bit 'meh' on this one. Lad certainly has ability. Does the desire & attitude match these days? I'm not so sure. TM has a good record of getting players motivated though so could turn out to be a shrewd signing. We'll see. Anyway, he's a Rover now so welcome to Ewood Jack!
