Bauer, who was a target of ours, suffers serious injury. If all goes well I think he should be match fit by the next window if we are still interested. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45550089

And incapable of organising 'change of address' notifications when moving house. I thought they all had goffers to do the mundane stuff anyway.

Fom Livingstone's disinterested and limp coin toss up, our poor initial fielding it just got worse. 50 runs conceeded of 2 over, Livingstone early on and Lester late, and maybe 12 runs given away in the field followed by 2 suicide run outs. Poor play alround. Jennings ok but never going to threaten too much, Parkinson is good.

I agree with you, any other view makes a mockery of Mowbray's much quoted 'right character' selection process. The bollocks posted on here at times is surreal.

I am struggling to understand how the Club management including Mowbray and the tightly knit dressing-room did not know that this situation was developing. It developed over many months, someone else at the Club just had to know. Ordinary Joe Bloggs would be eatinģ porridge for breakfast well before now. I am also convinced he has been missing recent games because of this and nothing else despite our being fed bullshit.

And he got a nice weekend off from working for Rovers. Injured my arse.

Another excellent edition and I enjoyed the whole show. Thanks to all involved.☺️

A modern day poor man's George Best and we all know how that ended. Both loveable rogues with a winning cheeky smile and a liking for the 'good life'. TM has his work cut out on this one methinks. I hope he buckles down and behaves but do fear for him.

I await the LTs account of this, no doubt to be confused even further. Mind you they tend be a bit slow on this sort of thing. Can't wait to hear the punishment handed down by Conway Mulgrew, who sound like a Scottish Legal firm or a Scottish prison warden played by Fulton Mackay. I think they will just do the bedsheet trick. Thing is how did he pass our own much promoted fit and proper, right sort, good personality tests.

I was just abour to ask you for next weeks winning lottery numbers...

TM seems to like a challenge to get a player back to form. It failed miserably with Caddis so hope for better luck or at least player participation in the challenge if Rodwell shows up. Personally I am not against it if the deal is ok to us.

If we have bid £8 milllion for Brereton then surely his Agent wants wages at a level that would be out of synch with our aim of a 'happy' dressing room. Money is after all the root of all evil. Have terms even been discussed by Rovers with this player?

At the right fee, I do agree I'm a poet, just didn't know it.

Perhaps, I had thought HITC a site run by Agents to sell their wares until they belittled Brereton and us, cheeky buggers!

I saw an unmarked Dennia Law v Burnley at OT lash over the bar no more that 2 yards out! I was on a school trip dosing at some Manchester Uni and wasted on Strongbow cider, that's my defence for being at OT .....

I know its HITC but still an interesting proposition. Suits Spuds business approach. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/08/21/do-tottenham-cant-miss-chance-to-sign-nottingham-forests-ben-bre/page/1/

What those stats do prove is how bloody good Jimmy Greaves was. Alf Ramsey with the national team signalled the start of a more tactically defensive formation approach which went quite quickly into league football making goal scoring, imo, a more difficult occupation.

Expecting a cautious approach http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16439359.boss-mowbray-to-stick-with-rovers-tried-and-tested-for-now/?ref=mac

If Arma gets a go up front we will be looking to Dack and Palmer in particular to supply the bullets. If it works it will be good football to watch.

Thanks Chaddy. A good watch. He looks capable of playing across the front 4.

Just finished listening to the latest issue of the BBC Football Daily podcast. Interesting and spoilt only by featuring the Scottish moron who was obviously using it to get back in circulation now the season has started. What a motormouth he has, quite stunning. I am quite fond of Blackpool and for their fans sake hope they avoid this cockroache but fear he may get it to complete Oyston's vendetta. I also wonder if another Scottish cockroache has applied as a way back into the English game. NB: No offence intended to Scotland or Scots in general.

The ECB Stokes contract is £750k pa, how many England games did he miss? fine him pro-rata ie loads! Make him think twice about misbehaving, he has previous too, and stop being a fool. At the time of the incident I was in Stokes corner. I followed the Court case and evidence as closely as possible and became convinced a guilty verdict was the only possible out come. If that had been Joe Public they would have been nicked.

Forest load the fee because they know we need a striker and know that we are running out of time and options in this window.

If its loan to buy presumably we pick up all the wages at Forest level or renegotiate completely with the player. Anyway the Clubs appear to still be miles apart on valuation so it could drag on and may not happen. If it completes this week I will be pleasantly suprised.
