With the right manager, Palmer would of been a decent player. Doesn't help when you hardly play and when you do, you're out of position. Palmer got way too much stick for my liking. Him & Rothwell together would of been lethal IMO.

Let's hope so!

Probably because Gallagher used to play for us and Mowbray will assume that's what the fans want. Will loose my s*** if Rothwell is demoted back to the bench. Sad thing is, it most probably will happen.

Is that Twitter? Just looked on this and hes recently followed Arma & Chapman.

I'm the same. But the longer it goes on the more frustrating it is. We are 5 days until first game and still nothing.

Nah want/need at least 2 imo. But got a feeling 1.

I feel we will sign One player now until the end of the window. It will be on Wednesday & it will be a decent centre half.

Haha tickled me that.

Super Joey Rothwell is one for Joe isn't it?

Aye good point. If I see Evans starting and the likes of Rothwell on the bench then that's it for me.

I think we all would. However i'm excited to see Johnson in the middle. Think him & Travis could work. Personally feel Johnson is more than an upgrade to Evans - We will see though.

I believed he featured against Preston. Saw that on his Instagram. Not sure about anything else though.

He has certain elements to him which are key to maybe seeing out a game. A perfect substitute role. Travis & Johnson (also Reed) have what Evans have but also have an threat in the attack. Something Evans does not have. Hence why he needs to be on the bench IMO.

Are Evans & Bennett classed as "backup" though? I honestly don't think Bennett ever will. Possibly (Hopefully) Evans will be this season.

Yeap. Its almost like primary school behavior. I can't even believe that mowbray rates the likes of Evans, Smallwood & Bennett? Yes they have done their good deeds and been good servantS. But we have to have better options in order to move forward.

Would love to see Travis & Johnson in the middle for this one. Feel Brereton should start. With his current form only right for him to keep it up and gain the confidence he needs. Of course Tony wont pick an 11 without me questioning. That will be Rothwell on the bench.

100%.

Here's hoping. Him & travis are the difference for us this season.

Agreed. I honestly don't think Mowbray rates him. He's almost too positive for him. Like last season with Reed. The comments Tony made about him & Rothwell last were Shocking! I mean imagine saying you prefer Evans & Smallwood in the middle over Reed. The maddest & most deluded comment I've ever heard.

Sigh. He won't start - Can put money on that. Some of his comments don't half wind me up. Tony, your pals need developing. Either that or getting shut of.

Surely we have to see a defender today?

Im giving him the first few games to see but I'm more or less with you. I see Mowbray starting the season with the usually suspects. Then come February (when it's too late) referring to the quality we have. I hope to god TM proves me wrong.

Hart injured now. Need to see some defenders Tony!

Breo!!!!!

Sometimes the case when given the honour of captaining the team, before the ultimate doom of leaving.
