I expect to see Hedges and Healey this week.

But we didn't put on suncream, everybody knows that. That decision was taken, right at the start of the holiday. Does that mean we shouldn't put the Aloe Vera on now? Does it mean we should spent the next 13 days of the all-inclusive discussing the error in judgement? 

How did I miss this group holiday?

Where did you hear it from?

Makes no sense at all, seems a little far fetched.

Just somebody that works close to Brockhall. Not sure where Jeff heard it though.

I hope the information is nonsense, but the person I've spoken to knows people at the club.

I am praying it's nonsense but to hear it twice in a couple of days worries me.

Well Pasha is an absolute b*ll end if he’s happy to get rid of Rothwell this window. Would be suicidal.

Didn't think the good feeling could last forever did you?

I don't post on here very often so don't shoot the messenger. Current state of play is as follows:

We've had a small cash bid go in for a Burnley midfielder. Possibly Dale Stephens. Tony wants to stiffen the midfield after the Hull game.

However, Pasha is insisting that Rothwell could go the other way to fund the deal as he sees it as the ideal chance to get his wages off the books before the summer.

Hedges could also arrive late on next week if we can make the money work.

I heard the name Stephens last week. I suppose if Rothwell isn't going to sign a new deal it makes sense.

Great article and it really highlights how well Mowbray and Waggott have done to turn our Club around. 

Trav will be back for Monday. Panic over! 

Markanday is obviously the Khadra replacement for next season. I expect he'll be an impact sub once he's up and running. I imagine we'll see him in the squad against Boro. 

Anybody with negative comments about Trav and his performances, what are you actually looking for from him? 

How I'd be lining up on Saturday

Someone is waging a one man war against one of our great players, Nyambe. I wonder why?

Nyambe is an average Championship full back. I doubt he'd be greatly missed if he left. There are better players out there, that are attainable.

All we did mainly under Hughes and Allardyce is sing every single players name too the tune of the “Benni McCarthy” chant! The Salgado song was probably the best too come out of those era’s, and obviously the “Turkish delight” song for the main man. Both those songs still get sung away from home at times so maybe you do have a point..

What were the lyrics to the Salgado song again?

But while the owners and senior management don't change, the team can't carry on regardless can they?

Example---we lost 12 players last summer, we signed 6---some on loan.

Example--we have several players out of contract (or soon will be) and this has been allowed to run on and on.

Your attempt to distinguish between the club and the team is disingenuous.

Your'e blaming the fans, they didn't relegate us or appoint Coyle or dismantle the squad.

 

We lost 12 players and signed 6 and our squad looks far better and fresher. 

We have several players out of contract soon and we are negotiating new deals. If they go, then so be it. That's the player's choice. We'll bring in some replacements.

I refuse to buy a season ticket and instead spend more money buying individual match day tickets for both home and away games. I appreciate it makes absolutely no sense but I feel like I’m making a point and will continue to do so until I see a proper operator running the club. 

What point is it that you're making? 

Brereton suspended for the next game

I think we'll see 3 or 4 come in 

Maja loan to buy 

Hedges Permanent 

Plus 2 others to replace any outgoings.

Intriguing. I look forward to someone spilling the beans. Where did the photo come from?

The original tweet has been deleted

I have absolutely no issue with Dack liking that post. My issue is with his reaction to Benno's response. The whole squad should be keeping their heads down at the moment and putting things right on the pitch before taking to social media. 

1-3 Brewster with a hat-trick. Mowbray blames the pre match meal not being hot enough for his young squad. " Tony Sort it Out" to hit the charts at number 7 then slip down by Christmas. 

Chris Wilder to be in attendance praying the tombola stops turning and is packed away so he can set up his new office. 

We all moan like hell at 5pm about lack of tactics and team selection. 

Rinse and repeat until May!

Apart from Mills. I know he got 2 wickets but he's a batsman's dream.

Before yesterday his figures were 

5-44 off 8 overs. 

Hardly a batsman's dream.

Be good if he came back in reasonable form and we could jettison the useless Gallagher out of the side once and for all.

Remind me. What did Gallagher do wrong on Saturday?

There’s quite a few rumours on Twitter that TM will be gone by next international break. Was wondering if anyone on this forum had heard anything?

Find it so depressing when I can’t even get excited about a win due to a complete lack of faith in the manager. Change is needed!

I can't find a single mention of him going by the next International break, and believe me I've been looking intently. 

3-2 Reading. Rovers 2-0 up at HT.
