Sounds to good to be true and yet people tell me football is better than ever now. I was born abit to late for all that sadly .

Clearly a white man. The PC brigade will love that

Was at city yesterday and they sang to the tune of brimful of Asher He's big and from Barnsley and the number 5 He's big and from Barnsley and the number 5 Everyone needs a John stones in the middle , everyone needs John Stones And repeat. Could change it easily to any number of players

ARE YOU WATCHING SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY !!!! YOU CAN BANG ANOTHER £20 QUID ON YOUR BID AFTER SEEING THAT

I'd say it's two men competing for a ball

To be fair Armstrong looked comfortable playing their, more so than Samuel. Whilst I believe he would be far more effective down the middle we have Graham up top and hopefully Bennett in the middle their is no one else to play their who could do a job as well as he could so for the team as a whole can see the logic of playing him their

He could toss it off for next few months like Joao did. He's no commitment to Rovers yet you guys seem to fall, for it. Only foolish fans buy into this nonsense. I understand where your coming from to a point. Alot of players come and give minimal effort and only join for self serving reasons but for every joao there is a Sam Gallagher. We've had some fabulous loans over the years. I recall Eyal berkovic and Alan mahon helping us get promoted last time around. He was on loan at Coventry and didn't seem to have commitment issues. By that logic we shouldn't play players in the last 6 month of their contracts if they aren't re signing. He's a young English lad with alot of potential. Lets help him get his career started and I'm sure he will repay us with commitment and goals

Can take a decent penalty to by the looks of it. I'm really excited to see him. Got a good feeling about this lad aslong as he is played down the middle and not shunted out wide

The progression is getting in the championship with the help of his goals securing more tv money and exposure to attract better players

Maybe he wasn't for sale due to his potential and was just sent for valuable game time and experience. He scored a bag full of goals for a poor Coventry team in this league their is no reason he couldn't do it for us with dack slipping a few sexy through balls in. He did well enough to earn two more loan moves to championship clubs. Let's not write him off before he's kicked a ball. I think the lad is exactly what we need up top and a good signing by TM. Im actually quite impressed he pulled it off. Get behind the lad FFS

We've got mulgrew Charlie mulgrew I just don't think you understand He is a Scottish man He's better than zidane We've got Charlie mulgrew

I'm all for trialing it and if successful it can only improve the game. I hope it works but at the same time don't start adding extra reasons to use it so in time it's gradually ends up stop start and endlessly going to the VR. The reasons stated for it's current use should be the only reasons and kept that way. Anyone know why it's being trailed tonight and Wednesday but not for the city game tomorrow ?

I agree . Doyle should be in front of hart in the pecking order. Hart should never have signed. I don't know who he knows but to play at Liverpool even at youth level into his 20s and then get a move here , someone owes someone a favor. Having seen nuttall play u23 and first team football im not sure I would even offer him a contract being honest. Agree with the sentiment though, that we need proper seasoned players and have the young lads around the fringes , coming off the bench etc. Without trying to contradict myself are we not better playing the likes of Tomlinson over Evans and whittingham. If you factor in the wages of Evans and whitts, plus age and how injury prone they are, I'd even question whittinghams desire at times, to a young local lad, on low wages (which would of freed up a decent wage for a winger at the start of the season) Passionate with the potential to grow and improve. The other two don't put in better performances even with all their experience. I suppose TM would be damned if he did damned when he doesn't. Ala nuttall

Tomlinson Travis Doyle Wharton

Runner up so far after that goal gladwin scored at brockhall where he beat four men and rabona'd it into the top corner from 25 yards with his week foot

Mark Hughes , tugay . Wouldn't swap them for pace. I know your going to say different positions and right back requires pace which is true to a point. However a football brain that can read a game and isn't error prone and makes the right choices over a rapid but positionally unaware liability. If he's so fast he can grab the ball from the back of the net and Sprint with it back to the centre spot. Caddis offers nothing going forward nyambe offers nothing full stop. Easy decision

I'd take a brain over pace any day of the week

I'd swap caddis' n nyambe but apart from that. Decent. Good to see Willem get on the bench. Onwards we march

I fancy a win here. 3-1 rovers

I would of loved a group with Argentina, Iceland and Australia. Always nice to beat the Aussies, revenge against iceland and guaranteed to be fired up and a good test against a beatable Argentina, another team I love beating for all the obvious reasons . Still happy with the draw and we should progress.

It also helps the fans and press new why the oystons had Blackpool and who exactly owned the club . We however still have no idea why the continue to own us and who actually pulls the strings. When we find out this we can find ways to hit the right people where it hurts . Until then our cause is disjointed and will never be unified with very minimal if any impact. Still great news for them and I hope they get all the success they deserve. We can but live in hope xx

BUT it's the senior lads poker night so we might struggle for numbers and quality

Lads played well tonight. Looks like a few might be on the bench tomorrow

How much for two adults and a three year old. What's parking like. Haven't been to Leyland.

Just checked. The wigan team we beat 1-0 in march. That line up has three players who played and beat Blackpool last weekend. Assuming that was their best possible team and due to the result it shouldn't be to dissimilar tomorrow. They finished below us and HAD a losing mentality. They had a huge turnover of players. The only difference is the manager. Hmmmm. Oh and they are firmly on course for automatic promotion with ( I'm guessing) a far inferior wage budget
