I hope Mowbray scouts this game, cheaper than a caravan around Europe: Morocco v Namibia, Africa Cup of Nations 2019 Group Stage, 15:30 UK time, Eurosport 2

At Brentford, Bennett had his arse ripped numerous times. Completely pathetic performance as are Mowbray's comments of Bennett as a classic utility player. He is shit everywhere.

Total honesty from Square Peg Mowbray: "People have learnt over the last few years that I like players with the ability to play in different positions - Elliott Bennett being a classic case at the moment.

''He has us forgetting the owners and those problems. For the first time in years'' Count me out of that ''opinion''.

FRIENDS REUNITED, someone at Rovers PR/IT dept has a sense of humour https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2019/june/friends-reunited/

We don't get him and he becomes a 3rd or 4th choice CB. Yeah ok. Maybe Sharpe can play as he's provided excellent defensive cover-up here

in 40 appearances last season Downing averaged 1.2 shots per game, 1.7 crosses per game and 1.5 key passes per game and was involved in 3 goals. His pass success rate was 82%, and it was mostly midfield style sideways / backwards. Travel with the ball, in your dreams Tony. More horseshit from an expert.

Another start at Boro would have given Downing a year extension plus a pay rise.

Is Chapman the one who is never fit, so we bought him.

The Ladies preseason fixtures are impressive with 3 WSL opponents included https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2019/june/ladies-pre-season-schedule-confirmed/

Does Tony drive a Ford Expedition EL or similar? Still, if it saves on budget cost, so not all bad. From the little I saw of Downing last season he had completely lost the pace to run past players, played more in midfield with lots of sideways/backwards passing and not in a creative sense. Nondescript at best. Still about ok at freekicks. I wish him well, for our sake, not his and not Mowbrays.

Yes, Tony needs a fresh set of ears in the dressing room, and a Boro Boy to boot.

Which is actually considerably more than me.

Oh Yes for sure

There are 7 weeks left in the current Window. Existing Rovers being touted as ''like a new signing''. NO, they are not.

The thing about Hanley is maybe Norwich are in no rush to offload. He's one of 4 CBs at Norwich so unless they recruit will be kept, plus he's still Club captain as far as I know. Norwich fans in the main seem happy for him to stay.

More like they just don't know, almost unbelievable.

Thanks. Fantastic detail

I'm working my way through the 'A' list but stuck a bit on the 'codes' Using Atko as an example as he made a decent amount of appearances at Rovers in the 'FL' detail it shows 224, which I take to be appearances, plus 33 'apps' - what are 'apps' - as a sub? Also stuck on what the meaning is of 'wdn' (withdrawn?) and 'ns' Any guidance will be appreciated.

Who are their 3rd favourite EFL team

The EFL have changed their transfer window in line with the PL. The deadline for Championship Clubs for all incoming permanent and loan registrations will close at 5 pm on Thursday 8 August 2019. Free agents can be signed by a club at any time during the season, if they had been released by their previous club before the end of the transfer window. Quote 'and some players that we might look to buy, polish them up, and then sell on', after converting them to defensive midfielders or wide strikers

Now that Bowyer has signed on again he has to rebuild his depleted squad, he needs CBs more than we do! and an owner still desperate to bail out. Having said that I think Bowyer has done a cracking job there and a great motivator.

I honestly did not think they could be so bent.

Fixtures out, makes me feel better already. Bring em on

You are applying good business practice to our owners. Think about that for a moment or two.
