Butler again with a regulation catch. Pick your best wicket keeper England. It's a specialist position like goalkeeper.

There is very much a feeling of deja Vu at the moment with these rapidly increasing numbers of infection with more and more clubs unable to fulfill fixtures.

I applied for a paper copy this morning. It does say it is only valid for 30 days in the information. Not sure how this is presented on the paper. Thought I would share with you rigger don't want you turning up and not being allowed in.!

Boris to address the nation at 8pm

England win toss and will bat. Lot of grass on wicket overcast conditions could be a difficult first session

Ball no6 in tonight's draw from 7pm

An article in today's Guardian suggests EFL and premier league in secret talks to do away with parachute payments because of the distortion it causes at championship level.

Both Saxton and Mackay had seasons where they over achieved. Cannot say that about Mowbray to date. The next six months may determine that.

There are a number of nobbers holding off buying because they prefer to be in the top tier. They could well be disappointed this season.

Full stop. Accident waiting to happen. Expecting another red before Christmas.

The power of some of Ben's finishes this season has been Sheareresque.

Let's hope your optimism is justified

Trouble is when he has used five at the back it has been to try to see the game out.

Very true. Have you ever known mowbray play great attacking football?

A back 5 for the visit of the mighty Peterborough. No thanks. Could be lowest gate of the season tonight.

For those who have an interest in non league football Bamber Bridge play Chorley in the LFA challenge cup this Tuesday night. Chorley include ex rovers Adam Henley and Willem Tomlinson. Bamber bridge include two lads on loan from Blackpool Lewis Bange and Harry Apter who are far too good for this level particularly Apter. Rodwell Grant is also at bamber bridge on loan from Preston and well known to sparksrover I think.

Is mowbray brave enough to play that starting eleven away from home ? Probably not he will be worrying about the opposition rather than giving the opposition something to worry about on the counter

Plenty of barmy army chants yesterday but TM blue and white army didn't seem to have a rendition. At the end in injury time there was a brief up the football league we go but by the time it got to mowbray is our king it had been drowned out by something else.

What he said was that as a league 1 club he questioned the affordability of having a cat 1 acadamy and would rather have that money for the first team.

Think what you like but I heard this in an interview given by mowbray

The quote is 100% accurate. I remember it well.

There was no thought back in 2015 to avoid an embargo with this sell off so what has changed since then? The potential housing development?

If the V's are raising a 13 million mortgage as suggested with Rovers paying the interest in the form as a rent at £750,000 as suggested by Phil then they have got the vast majority of the money back immediately.

The 16 million has already been spent there is nowt left. Hence this deal done 4 months ago lenihan Nyambe and rothwell no further forward in re signing if there were funds available for increased offers surely we would have seen progress in these negotiations. In my opinion it would have been better to take the hit of the transfer embargo. It would have focussed mowbray,s mind.

At the end of the day the club no longer owns an asset which it previously did and is now incurring an annual expenditure to use it using money which may previously have been used too offer players improved contracts who now we'll leave for naff all. How is this a good deal for the club?
