If rovers are waiting to sign a player rather than any player then we need patience. Styles and Bowler there clubs will do what we are doing with Diaz go to the wire to see if a bigger offer comes in from teams who get desperate. Van hecke is being assessed by Brighton there is nothing we can do. The Same possible applies to Cantwell. I would prefer the right player than just picking from the end of contract/ released players. The current outfit seem a bit more professional and may well stick to the plan rather than panic

This league is about the manager and organisation. Mowbray was terrible. We have a decent championship team. I want to see players who are committed to the cause even if they are only kids. COYB On side note everything we do is amateur.

I can’t get my head round this young kids idea. How long do you say they are to young. 21 / 22. A career only lasts into their 30s. Get them up and get them in. If their not good enough it won’t ruin their career if they have character it will make them work harder. You are shaped by adversity and challenges. Carter Wharton garret etc. Give them squad and pitch time.

I wouldn’t mind Phil jones

That is a great observation

Rothwell at his best was inconsistent. Let’s see how many starts he gets before he’s shipped out.

That is funny the two that have left are your favourites. The ones that are no longer rovers players.

I think it’s to early to judge hedges. He came at a time we had already hit a wall for whatever reason. Even Giles who I rate looked crap. I think Mowbray had lost the plot by the time he arrived. Let’s see how he does under a new manager

It does and guess who was in charge.

Your right and he is being found out at the level above. Shooting endlessly and not bringing team mates into play does not work even on the playground. I can’t remember the match but even the commentators said he was just taking endless potshots at goal. In my opinion give me a man who works for the team rather than one who works for himself

Do you not feel if our remit is to look at bringing players through the academy patience is needed. Dolan is 20 and still learning his trade if he was the finished article he wouldn’t be here. The positives for me is there is lots of growing room, he wants to be here and he comes across as a genuinely good guy. He puts 100% into it and works his socks off for the team. I’d prefer Dolan to Armstrong for example who played for himself

Sorry I’m on holiday and just joined without looking. Thanks for confirming my memory. I was cautious because I thought I’d imagined it

Things that aren’t going well I’m the world global warming plastic in the sea destruction of the rain forest ukraine fuel prices yet the fact Burnley are in deep shit makes me feel at one with the world. The above will lead to global catastrophe but as long as they go first who cares

This may be in my mind but didn’t metcalfe( one of the greats) do a half way line one against Newcastle.

False beards and glasses is typical Rochdale. Nothing to report there

Is that back of the blackburn end hard birdy

I would prefer one of the big 3 farke, carvalho or dyche but I know I ain’t getting that. I’m pretty sure we won’t pay compensation for someone of calibre in work. Looking at the other options Ferguson appears the best of the rest. I feel physically sick at the thought of some of those names on the list of possibles

I wanted him gone last year on the 2 wins in 17 before the shit show this year. Not because I hate him. Never meet him so as a person no opinion. However as a football manager to big him up he’s bang average. What he is good at is talking himself. That is just an opinion. Let’s see where he ends up. If he’s as great as you feel then it’s premiership here he comes but I doubt it

So he wants to be close to his family in the north east and challenge in the premier league with a team with money. That will be Newcastle. Answer no chance. He is an absolute dreamer who overrated his ability and his standing in the game. This is the guy who was on his way to chesterfield before his agents intervened. Even Pulis implied he got it easy. I will almost guarantee this will be the biggest and best job he’ll every get and he messed it up

It is time for them to move on but Mowbray has sung their praises for the last 5 years. Now he questions. Get him out the door up to Hartlepool. If they where so bad he should have resigned. He’s made a great living and now he stars thinking something not right. He makes me laugh. Playing the cards for himself the old lag

He’s the front runner for the Hartlepool job that is so hilarious.

Just got back from work and don’t want to work my way through the line of thought. This is hypothetical staying not actual. I’ll be glad to see the back of him tomorrow and that’s a fact

Mowbray should be laughing all the way to the bank. The lack of communication has allowed him to get away with 2 wins in 17, a 7v0 home defeat and the absolute shit show that is the second half of this season. He’s benefitted from the shite they dish out to us supporters and now he’s grumbling when it happens to him. Welcome to the party Tony

If the team put even half the effort of the away support we’d already be promoted

So which games have you been to. Fulham Coventry Peterborough. You must be standing somewhere else than me because a lot of us are fucked off. So which part of the longside do you sit
