Under no circumstances must Bell ever play for this football club again.

If only we still had a Tony Parkes to step in and sort it out.

Just watched the highlights over and over on Sky. OK yes the defending was poor each time the ball came into the box but all 4 goals came from our right side of midfield. In fact 3 goals were very similar in the build up play with weak as piss challenges in midfield and no urgency to close down the ball. First goal. Look at Armstrong daydreaming in no mans land and then his half arsed attitude to running back. Fuck knows where Bennett thinks he is. Miles away from play. Look at him walking after the ball goes over him to the back post. Second goal. Someone at the time said "knife through butter". Accurate but Bennett was the most forward player totally out of position and the game. Challenge from Williams was like a girl but look at Bell's attitude at the back post just walking towards the ball. Third goal. A repeat of the second goal. Lenihan then stands the ball up well but Williams and Bell absolutely no urgency to get close and win the ball. Bell walking. Fourth goal. Another repeat. This time I think it was Rothwell weak as piss challenge but then his attitude to running back to make another challenge is none existent. Again Bennett way up the pitch completely out the game. Again look at Bell walking at the back stick. Was a sympathetic penalty but probably just about correct. Was a pathetic display.

Would you take a punt on Joey Barton ?

Good post Chaddy

I never get this. When did this happen ? His frailties relegated us. We got promoted in spite of him. One good run last season. The rest crap. This season a continuation of the same.

Huddersfield 3 up in preparation for us.

77 minutes. 4-1 down. 1 shot on target (penalty). That is 77 minutes without a single shot on target from open play. Tony - please explain.

pardon ?

Those fans spending £200 to go today should be compensated by Waggott from the Tax fund.

If anyone says "give him til Xmas" I am getting banned.

Holtby on for Graham. He has completely lost the plot. Does he know we had no shots in the first half. let him have his 6 games then he can fuck right off.

Can't wait for Chaddy to post the passing stats from the club site to prove Tony is a genius.

Tony Mowbray :- "the first 6 games were hard ones. The next 6 games are easier and we intend to get 15 points" Sane Fans :- "bullshit Tony"

30 mins played. zero shots on target in fact zero shots.

Away from today's game, Craig Conway has joined Salford City and goes straight into their side for the League Two game with Walsall

Hopefully he is lining them up like this :- Walton Bennett Lenihan Williams Cunningham Evans Dack Rothwell Downing Graham Armstrong

Selling trainers to fund an election campaign fought on the platform of Venkys Out. Cant think of anything better !

Rhodes = instinctive striker Gallagher = lumox Rhodes = instinctive striker Graham = instinctive striker

This is what Mowbray does. Concentrating on getting certain players on the pitch instead of picking a well balanced side ? Who will score the goals in that team ? Although I agree that team is far more likely, I don't think it will win many football matches.

I never rated Cairney at all Chaddy. Ability, yes. But I always thought he thought he was gods gift to football and his attitude to playing here stunk. Perhaps that was just because he wanted to be in London but we were never going to build a successful side around that lad. I consider him one of my least liked Rovers players of all time. The opposite of the words on our badge.

And the fact is they were bought by "bigger clubs" because of the goals they scored. i.e. proven goalscorers Whether those particular moves were right for those individuals careers is another matter entirely.

Starting Line up :- Walton Nyambe Toshin Williams Cunningham Johnson Travis Holtby Rothwell Gallagher Graham 60 minute lineup :- Walton Nyambe Toshin Williams Cunningham Dack Travis Holtby Arma Gallagher Samuel

We all acknowledge that DG is getting older and needs to be replaced. That is why we need to buy replacement strikers (we have). Play the strikers as strikers (not wingers). Those strikers need to be good enough and score goals. I thought Arma played well against Forest and is better out wide. He has pace and not much else. Certainly isn't a centre forward. Gallagher has been rubbish since he came, playing out wide. OK I will rephrase that to completely ineffectual. BB was scoring goals in pre season. Samuel has been scoring in the reserves. Mowbray has 2 things he has to find a way to achieve this season. 1. Get us into the top 6. 2. Find a replacement for DG / find an effective way to play and scores goals without him.
