McCarthy and Jeffers looked like two strangers on Sunday, so getting Nonda up top with benni is a must if we are to progress.

A reprieve for Micky Gray then?

Bit worrying when were talking of protecting Franny Jeffers Lets just hope Nonda gets fit ASAP.

It would appear that Mourinho has gone and made a tit out of himself again. He's accused Eidur Gudjhonson of diving since he joined Barca...now I could be wrong but I swear I've seen Drogba, Robben, Joe Cole and even captain marvel Terry taking the odd tumble in the past

I do agree Pleasure, but the thing is you can practice and practice set pieces but it only takes one player in the 90 minutes to turn off for a split second and you're screwed-like we have been that has now cost us at least four points in the last three games.

So has anyone found any gems yet? Im just past Christmas with Rovers and am around midtable having just signed Figo and Recoba. Neither are getting any younger but I'm in real need of some creativity to turn 0-0's into wins. My best players have probably been Nelsen who is an absoloute rock and Benni Mac has bagged a fair few. Yet again Spurs are overrated and seem to be on course for the title with Berbatov scoring a goal a game!

Rovers.co.uk say that Roberts injury will keep him out for 3-4 months....similar time to Reidy and Nelsen then.

I thought we were all saying that the injury problems on FM 2007 were exaggerated?!

It's a recurring theme though with the odd game being the exception (ie Bolton). Whoever said the board really need to back Hughes in January couldn't be more spot on.

Sky just showed we had close to 60% of the ball second half. Why is it that we dominate possesion EVERY game and never back this up with good chances that the possesion should provide? Roberts' Meta-tarsel Broken

I thought Gally and Peter were the only bright points from a miserable, miserable afternoon. After Basel our next 3 fixtures are Villa away, Utd and then Spurs home. Sav, Reid and Nelsen must've been cringing watching that. Sparky said before the game that he was interested to see how the 'squad' as a whole would do...I think he got a resounding answer.

Humiliated. We could play all night and not score. Edit-Or not!!!

Although West Ham have been average at best and as annoying as John Motson is I don't think we could argue if he said that Rovers have produced one of the worst footballing halves by a team this season-devoid of ideas, sloppy at the back, nobody tracking their players etc. We havent created one chance and McCarthy-who should be our biggest threat looks so disinterested it's untrue. Lets get at them!

That is quite possibly the most uninspiring selection of players on the bench that I have ever seen Rovers have to put out. Man we need a central midfielder! Lets hope Sergio shows Gamst how it's done. Comon you blues!!

I suppose fans up and down the country will moan like crazy about their own players' stats though-although I do agree with you!! The scousers on si games' myspace are constantly moaning about Sissoko and Kuyt being too low etc. I would however like some of MGP's stats to be given to Zura and Nelsen!...Despite Benny not having the best stats he certainly knows where the net is!

Forget what I said earlier Bucky Rover, Ive just found out shops in my home Town are selling since yesterday Pro for £30. Never ever am I pre-ordering games again as you just end up getting them for the same price at a later date!

It's vitally important. If we lose this that will be 3 losses in a row with games in the league against Villa, Spurs and utd to come. Those 3 are probably aside from Chelsea, Bolton and Arsenal the 3 teams you wouldn't want to face right now...so Sunday really is a huge game.

But you'l save nigh on 8 quid won't you? I knwo what you mean though-my Amazon Pro has yeah to be despatched.

A solution to our central midfield yes, but we'd be screwed on right wing until Reid (who was never that great there) comes back. And also why move Bentley when he's finally found some form after all these years? Apparently Nonda and MGP have gone off injured Edit: Sorry Le Chuck just read it properly and seen that you agree that it's a gamble switching Bentley! Double Edit 2-0.You can't play a high line against Kalou and Robben especially with our pace at the back.

I stand corrected!

OPretty sure Flowers never got near to a Cantona pen-I could be wrong though?

I think Pedersen too would be best. But I dread the outcome if he missed...he'd get lynched!

I think it's important-despite it being an opportunity to rest a few players-that we don't get stuck in a losing streak. We have four very tricky fixtures in the league to come up so it's imperative that morale in the squad is high. Oh and how great would it be to beat Chelsea and to see Jose declaring that they didn't want to win it anyway?

Isn't Upton a bogie ground for us? And also despite us being so hard to beat under Hughes were always the team to play when you need to break a duck, so like many others despite them not scoring for over 11 hours: West Ham 2 Tevez, Harewood Rovers 1 Nonda

Sky sports believe that Neil has turned down another new contract.
