I will wait until that happens... and only then admit I was wrong. 2-1, good guys. it’s the hope that kills you 😆

Tony could play the same 11 today that thrashed them 3-0 at Deepdale on November 24, minus Wharton. Add Dacky & Travis to the squad since then, & they’ve lost Davies. I like our chances.

I’m not seeing square pegs in round holes in the future. Good health (& hopefully sanity) is being restored, & new players getting acclimated (particularly defenders) so we should start seeing players in proper positions. Also... hopefully Dolan gets some game time this week. If not a start, perhaps he comes in at 66’ with some fresh legs & creativity. COYB!!

Good grief, 7 goals in 8 games... what’s happened to our scoring

BB for equalizer now

Time for Gally to come off

Playing from behind again we need Dacky

Amazing he’s only 27. when I first began following Rovers, he started for us at RB.

Austin already in Foul trouble, maybe he will play cautious

Right!

I love it when Gally scores, it’s never expected. And, he’s scored 4 times in league play. He’s a round peg in a round hole today, oughta be fun!

I’m interested to see Elliott today. Overall, his work on the pitch has been excellent, but he’s calmed down somewhat of late. He will eventually go off on somebody.

I’m not seeing Bennett, Evans, et al., unless the team is gutted by injuries before tomorrow. Mowbray can pick his 11 easily, and still have a decent bench to pick from. If we’re gonna keep our current form, going on the road shouldn’t deter us. I agree with earlier poster, 1 point is to be expected, 3 shouldn’t surprise us.

Yes, I like all these, but Brennan suspect for me as well. I would also agree on the players you want to re-sign. Let’s be realistic about this; I doubt the owners make more than 2-3 signings... mainly defenders; resign a couple of those midfielders, “long in the tooth”, & hope they pan out, with the addition of a couple more loaners. 6-8 signings... hmmm. Doubtful, at best, we bring in that many, History is not on our side, but to do that, the owners will probably want Arma or someone worth £ to be sold. Maybe two somebody’s. I don’t want it, y’all don’t want it, nevertheless, It will have to happen, for us not to continue to rely on short-term loaners to fill out our roster.

You put a lot into this; it will take awhile to digest it all, and make a reply. is there a list of players who will be out of contract this summer? That would help. Thanks!

That sounds fair. Mowbray isn’t very complicated as a manager. But, I believe him to be trying to right the ship, and move us upward. I’m pretty sure all these loans wont get us where we need to be, but they are steps in the right direction.

Harwood-Bellis immediate need; Pickering arrives for next year, when we are sure to lose a warm body or two. Mowbray isnt perfect as a tactician, but he’s doing what he can, bringing in player personnel. He’s been dealt crumbs, but he’s baking the cake. Let’s see if he can get it iced on May 8.

Rovers are not a PL side... but could be, if we could hold onto players like Branthwaite & Elliott. We’ve managed to develop several of our own “homegrown” players; this summer Is crucial to re-sign a couple of our younger players, hopefully, have fewer injuries, & commit robbery or otherwise hold onto the two I mentioned.

We should jeep getting points in February. The month of March has had me somewhat anxious all season- Reading, Millwall, Swans, Bees, etc. I’m not conceding anything, it’s just going to be a tough month to get points in bunches.

I used to always wear a Rovers shirt on game day. But I did not for the entire month of January. Dallas Cowboys, University of Texas Longhorns, I even wore a Liverpool shirt today. I think I’m onto something good here. You’re welcome😂

If we get there, you will have a lot of company. About everyone on the ‘board, anyway 😄

8th on the table, wasn’t sure we would ever make it. But key players returning from injury, & a good addition in Branthwaite, we could keep moving up!

Kaminski by far our best addition this year

Only 3 min... c’mon lads...

Defending has been on today
