Brilliant from Maidstone. The English football pyramid is like no other and the FA Cup is the greatest cup competition in the world.

Something that I was surprised to read was that during Klopp's tenure they have only been runners up to City twice the same number funnily enough as Man Utd in the same time frame. I thought that Liverpool had been runners up to City more than that but it must just seem like more because they were both such tight title races.

Good riddance to Klopp going always moaning about something and talking down the English game. They won't Klopp is a good manager but he is no Alex Ferguson.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with basic football so I don't know why you have taken such offense to it. But your style is basic you are a direct team (like most of Parkinson's team) who like to play for set pieces be it throw ins, corners etc to launch into the box, there is not much free flowing football from you. There is nothing wrong with playing to your strengths and it is working for you in your league although let's be honest you should be doing well in your league considering your budget. But you are playing a 2nd tier team on Monday and you will need to show something more, you were very lucky to get past Shrewsbury in the last round and this will be a significant step up from Shrewsbury for you. -

You don't need to be God to know you just need to have been paying attention over the last 13 years. -

This will be like a cup final for Wrexham visiting former Premier League Champions and with our run of form they will fancy their chances. But whilst sides at our level may have worked us out the lower league sides we have played this season have not been able to handle our attacking intensity. Wrexham despite what they have spent are very average and play a very basic brand of football. The media will want the Hollywood story of their plucky darlings beating the former Premier League Champions but I think it will be a routine Rovers win. -

Just because a player says they want to play you don't loan them out at the first opportunity. It's about getting them off the book so they don't have to pay them. Travis is club captain and undoubtedly made our squad stronger you don't just loan him out days into the window if he wants to move on and you are happy to let him go then you sell him when a appropriate offer is made. -

Buckley was moved on to get a wage of the books and as soon as he came back Travis was offloaded from the books. -
Something has to happen we can't carry on operating like we are in perpetuity. I would take administration over a continuation of the last 13 years of torture. Of course there would be some real pain to start with but in the long term I believe the club would end up in a better place. I have absolutely no doubt that there would be party's out there wanting to buy Rovers just in recent years in the Championship and League 1 Birmingham, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Hull, Sunderland, Leeds, Coventry, Bolton, Wigan, Derby, Charlton & Blackpool have all been taken over.

They are more a Hollywood production than a football club. I watched their game yesterday on S4C and they were very fortunate Shrewsbury should have won comfortably but missed a lot of decent chances. One thing we certainly don't have any problems with the last couple of seasons is sticking goals past lower league teams in cups.

More penny pinching it is clear now that Waggott and Broughton's task from the owners is to get rid of experienced players on higher salaries and replace them with academy kids, free transfers and youngsters on loan. I have faith that JDT will keep us up this season but I would be amazed if he is here next season and I fear very dark times lie ahead. -
He was bugger all use the second half of last season for a team fighting for promotion in the Championship.

Time to accept that Buckley just isn't good enough to be playing Championship football. In a year or so he will be most likely plying his trade a league or two down the pyramid.

Broughton has signed three centre forwards during his time here (Hirst, Telaovic & Ennis) in a combined 30 appearances they have not been able to muster a single league goal between them. The man is clueless. -

Broughton has managed to sign a goal keeper who does nothing but cost us goals and signed strikers who never score. The bloke is dreadfully out of his depth. -

If an offer of 6-7M came in for Carter you'd very quickly open your eyes and realise you were dreaming. -

Or I can see the writing on the wall like I did with Mowbray about 3 years before you could finally see it. -

If he really was first choice I dread to think what 2nd & 3rd were like. It seems as though Gregg's identification of a goalkeeper is about as good as his identification of a centre forward. -

Have you ever heard of any club signing a player and saying we only signed him because we couldn't land our preferred targets. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
Ewood Ace replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
What do you expect him to say that he was really 6th choice but that the other 5 were either too expensive or didn't want to come. -
We haven't been able to what Australia have done over many years and be very strong in both red ball & white ball cricket at the same time. It always seems to be one or the other with England. What Australia and India have shown this tournament is that on the whole your best players are your best players regardless of format.
