Does anyone still have the infamous "Join the push for promotion" flyer? Sometimes I wonder if I just dreamt it.

I guess we should go full circle. Back to the fitness and conditioning issues, as it's either that or the conspiracies are true. Groundhog Day.

Yes there is that angle. I think he's as likely to be popping up in celebrity Big Brother as he is putting in the hard yards on the zero gravity treadmill or pool.

One good thing about Brexit is that the UK will supposedly be importing chicken with even more steroids. Get him on that and add some beans. He'll soon be storming through defences like Alan Shearer, right?

One thing for sure is that strikers playing on the wing are going to score even less goals than they normally would. And I think we have a winger that we signed to play for the U23s don't we? Get Mulgrew back. He'd be our top goal scorer now Dack's gone. I suspect he might have gifted Wigan a late win, yet put today's awful free kick by Holtby in the top corner. End result 3 points instead of 2. ?

Several days ago I would have seen 1-1 as being a good result for us. But now I see the top six as not really involving us so I wasn't too bothered about the result either way.

2020 is already over. 'The Rooney Effect'. Remember 2004, he got his toe stood on and limped off. Nobody dare say it. But all the players and coaches and fans knew the dream was all over. I have a feeling that's what has happened to Rovers. The season is over now - And with a negative manager and no leaders (Lenihan aside) in the dressing room and a preceived weak mentality as a whole I can see this manifesting.

Preston gonna 'Do a Rovers'?

Put them on the naughty red button?

I've already said this in previous threads. If your zillion dollar star striker isn't coming on when it's 0-0 at home to the bottom of the league team, he simply isn't ever going to come on. Someone needs to stop being such a coward and admit they pulled a massive stinker. Brereton needs to go out on loan to a league 1 side asap. He's not going to get any better by not playing - he's not working with Pep in training, so I really can't see the point in maintaining the current status quo. Just pure cowardly face saving.

We don't need a Dack as such. We really just need to change formation and our way of playing without Dack. Most importantly we need a goal scorer....as we currently have NONE. Which is absolutely shocking! For all his goals Dack is yet another player that never seemed to be able to actually hit a ball. Also in some ways he actually seemed to slow the play down a bit at times. Unfortunately we don't have a manager that is capable of changing things. I've lost count of the times Armstrong has run down the wing with no support so has had to check back. Years in we still don't actually have a way of playing. It's like we're still playing Champ Manager without looking at the instructions. We're more jumbled up than this message.

It's dumfounding. Especially when we have so many 'midfielders'. The team set up just seems all wrong. We have pace and supposedly at least a couple of players that are more than hoofball centre mid blockers....so......

You knew straight away it was at least a season ender. Some players don't ever come back as the same player after a massive injury. ? From a business point of view. There goes any profit until at least 2021. Time for The Stingies to get their cash out. From a football point of view, it's happened before a transfer window... So no excuses about it ending our season will hold any weight.

PNE 1 up. Great breakaway-ish goal! This is why i'd rather play Leeds than the stodge teams.

Don't phone it's just for fun. So imagine you're working for Rovers PR Machine (lolz). The half season tickets are on sale. What's your Marketing Slogan? I want one based on Fantasy and then one based on current Reality. Shoot! ....

Has he gone back to Citeh?

It's bizarre. All the money went on 2 strikers with really poor goalscoring stats. One thing that's been concerning for a while now is that no matter where we are in the table, our goal difference is always poor.

Mowbray and Mourinho ruined Christmas!

Another point. The unbeaten run continues. Zzzzzzzz!

The Tories lost 1-0.

Williams heads onto the top of the bar. Uurrgghh!

These guys are expectedly Wiganing us.

Tories are 1 down.

Perhaps we'll hear a future 'Birmingham came here and played like Barcelona' Mobrayism?

Crap free kick. We really miss Mulgrew's 10 goals.
