I would wrap our key players in cotton wool, afraid Wigan will be a bit naughty tomorrow to try and show us. Let's avoid any serious injury to Diaz, Buckley, Rothwell and such and sit them down for this one. Oears in goal too so we can see if he is as good as he was last time out.

How many times have we wrote off "unimpressive" signings only to have a large serving of crow shoved in our face. Mmm, let's see... Friedal, Samba, Nelson, Santa Cruz nany more I am sure. I like the look of the unpronounceable named full back. Bit recless bit some exquisitely timed tackles too.

I hope Ryan's demands are not way out in left fiels. Someone shiuld sit him down and give him the long long list of excelling Rovers players who moved for greener grass (or more of it) and failed. Funny the club has sold countless top squad members but life has always gone on. I was devastated when Tony Field left but one Gordon Lee and I was like Tony who. Similar things.with Jones, Bailey, Hird, Barker but we have always managed. As the saying goes Mr Nyambe, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. COYB.

Ha Ha me too , read it about six times trying to figure it out.

Or a contract thread.

It all shows just how poorly this club is run.

Put like that I can definitely deal with it.

I will live with what makes life easy for you. I prefer the single thread.but if it helps to have two then I can handle it.

For those discussing fans getting on Breretons back affecting him, do you remember his initial upturn in form began immediately the behind closed doors games started. Coincidence ir was he affected by the moans and groans.

Ref definately poor, Van Hecke was lucky at the end not tonwalk. He has to watch that side of his game. By the same token the reckless lunge from behind should have seen the terriers player walk. You could see after about 30 mins our lads looked tired, they all need a break for the cup. Can we please give Khadra another shit at freekicks and corners. He was iutstanding with then against Sheff U, not seen him take anything since. Give him another shot, some real quality deliveries.

Agree, I don't like it. I don't always come on right after the game and was wanting to make a comment or two on the other thread and couldn't. I hear other posters breathing a sigh if relief they dodged my wisdom.

Is it just you and I that see that? I will give up on this subject now, I really hope it works out and I am proven very wrong. I also hope Tony resists the urge to stuff him in the line up as soon as he can.

I AM open minded abiut what he might achieve, just if the opinion that the contract be offered after he had achieved some if it. Not before.

The block was excellent, everything else. His heading is poor, he miscontrols balls coming to him more iften than not, seldom beats a man, has a ooor touch all round. He has his moments and yes I admit I was too harsh. Watch him come on and score the winner now. I maintain giving Gally a fresh contract is not right given circumstances with others.in the squad.

I respect that, disagree. Do you think he is deserving of a new contract? Just my opinion he is not. I will agree he runs around a lot and puts in the effort but he really is not very good at all. Probably a coincindence our best football has come with him not in the team.

Why oh why have we done that? In my mind the worst player on the squad and I am sure it will serve to alienate our other contract holdouts. Baffling.

I am not sure this team needs that at this point, I wiuld be very concerned about someone like that tipping the team spirit. This group right now looks to be everything we stand for, a blue collar town team living it's motto. and I for one am loving it. Homegrown talent providing the Labore. I think the type if players we need are good solid unassuming players that are good at their craft with no glitz or glamour, let's keep Diaz as our fancy pants. It is just.working.right.now.and I would be very very wary of upsetting that apple cart.

Bloody hell, that's half my take home pay from when I lived there.

It adds interest to other games.for me, makes them worth watching,.more footy with something to shout about and that's great isn't it. What being a fioty fan is all about. I am loving my football again due to Rovers recent success and currently watching more games than I have for a few years, wife not so enthusiastic as I am as she has to sacrifie her silly ass programs for my footy. All good.

That's true but we do keep one eye on the teams around us, anything that makes our life easier is good. I really enjoyed watching Derby rob the Cherries the other day.

Sturridge? Absolute no for me. We do not need anymore been there done that once great billy big boots players to come in here and stroll to retirement. I think he would upset the chemistry this group has.

We need to be more consistent on the right side defensively.

Interesting parallel in the City game, he let City finish their move before stopping the game.

Yeah and Tony puts him out wide too and I think he looks better going thru the middle.

Leni,beck,ham. He was superb tonight bar the typical rush of blood. His distribution has been coming on for a few games, it works. Tosinesque? Buckley needs to work on shooting I think almost every shot he has is soft. If he could get some velocity on em he might.score. Inreally thought our goose was cooked when Gally came on bad choice by Miwbary but he got away with it. Khadra can pull a rabbit out the hat at any moment. Gally? well let's just think Tommy Cooper. RIP. We would have lost this in the past, hit the post rolls on the line comes out, they hit the post rolls on the line hits the other post and goes in at that moment I thought we are.not winning this. Well done huge sigh of relief, don't meddle Tony. DO NOT START GALLAGHER against Hudds. Just wanted to add, I wish we would let Khadra try corners again and PLEASE stop with the short ones unless we trying to kill the clock.
