Would have to say Rovers being Rovers we lose this one Tony being ex manager and all. Would love for Tomasson to give his side a beating. Imagine Mowbray being up for this one.

Me too everytime.

We won but OMG had we been 4 up at half time as we should have been that 2nd half would not have caused me more years off me life. Take the 3 points but still much work to be done.

Hirst, don't think he has it, that's one thing but I think he is a bit lazy and looks scared to get stuck in to me and that is not OK. I noticed him closing down up front on a couple of occasions, full steam ahead to the opponent yet when he got within a few yards he stopped or slowed down avoiding having to get stuck in. I would have yanked him unceremoniously after the 2nd one.

And the ref not seeing two fouls unless he took it that the pull cancelled out the push.

Did you know ESPN dies an On Demand where you can see the game after the fact. Just found this out will save me a bundle in missed wages.

We saw too much of that again, sooner or later one team is going to have a field day and totally embarrass us. I am just not seeing the style of play that JDT said he wanted to play. Why on earth does Hirst get to take the Penalty.

Underwhelmed to say the least. Markanday has caught my eye more than this fella and he seems to be in Siberia somewhere. Please prove me wrong cos we splashed decent cash and this calls into question the recruitment skills of our DoF and manager.

I been asking that for a while.

Yes we have, no one been there to stop Kaminskis kicks going into touch.

I hope Diaz is back to his best, looked kike he might have had one eye on Chile last game. These breaks stink, this whole World Cup mid season thing stinks too. Not sure this is going to be a proper season, players will be distracted by the upcoming event. Even after I thinkn t will take some time to get into the daily grind again. What a cluster f by FIFA.

After watching USA the other night maybe we will. Yeah opinions.

I am really glad proper footy is back this weekend. God I hate those International breaks.

Any thoughts on why Chaddy, what's your opinion on it? To me he has looked good enough. To add my tuppence worth GB should be given a pat in the back for getting Ash and Adam signed up. I was convinced we would lose one or both so kudos to GB and probably so.e for JDT as it sounds kike the manager is a good positive influence for these kids.

So none of our downside was Tonys fault, what a plonker. He had miney to spend in January when we were 2nd and he and only he chose not to. Remember the "we din't play that way" line as a readon not to sign a striker and that was nit the first time he CHOSE not to spend.

1-0 to the 4 L's.

Pope was terrible, thought James looked really good, better even once Daka and Mount came on. Ehat a shame Pope spilled that shot would have been a great win itherwise and one for the confidence. Hope Maguire never kicks a ball for England again. He's lost something, like his heads gone. Don't see us getting out the group.

Sort of what I thought.

And why. has Markanday vanished? I thought he looked decent. Is he injured what?

That's it then, Bristol had not won away either. We fix what ever is ailing our opponents away win banker now.

Agree to a degree, not sure I would have given Buckley 5 years, not based on his poor play so far this season. Adam and Ash, get em signed up and from my very limited watching of these two young Wharton would be my priority over Phillips. Get em both signed. Lengthy contract with a low basic and some very sweet performance related extras.

I think lower end, 15-29 in that region, don't see us clicking 100% for some time perhaps after the January window if JDT has Greg's support to buy who HE wants rather than Greg's selections. Not saying JDT not involved but just my suspicion GB may have pulled rank in at least one signing, SS fir me was a GB firced signing. Of course this is mere speculation and I am not intending to stir the pot. Just that one signing thus far feels odd.

With all due respect games on Saturday should go ahead. To me it is no lack of respect to play them. A welcome distraction at this time for most I would think.

I just watched the post match interview of JDY and I must say he looks a little down, has stress written all over his face. Nit the bright smiling cheery character he has been. Is reality setting in? Is he now realizing he may have bitten iff more than he can chew. I still have faith but does he?

We have pace he chooses to not play it though, Markanday looks quick to me and he can't get a kick in the league
