"We've done everything we can" (in relation to making ST's affordable) - Waggott (about 12 minutes 20 secs in) Utter shite.

That's opened up a can of worms. If the NL are requesting £3m a month think what the EFL will ask for!

Manure's U23's tend to go on loan to the Eredivisie. Ours go to Barrow. Manure's U23's squad is made up of young lads anyway, most of whom won't play for their first team. Their U23 team is hardly a reflection of the actual players they have that are under 23. Some of our best U23's are the ones we've got from the 'big' NW clubs, who they released. That said, our Academy is in fantastic shape at the moment and long may it continue.

Mowbray wanted 2 x CB,LB,GK,CM a few weeks ago - he's got a 1 x CB so far. The squad is thin in certain areas, namely defence and GK. An injury to Johnson/Holtby and we look short in CM too. Those are the areas, especially defence, where you don't want to be relying on kids who have yet to prove themselves beyond youth team football.

Aye, a family of 4, with no prospect of being able to go to Ewood any time soon, are only going to buy 1 Season Ticket/Pass.

The Holy Trinity of Gayle, Garner and Kennedy > Dolan, AA & BB?

We've just played two really poor teams who have scored 1 goal between them in 6 games. On the other hand we look a lot better than last season. This team is nowhere near the standard of the Souness team that got promoted to the Prem, It's not even a discussion.

I'd compare it with the Brazil team of 1970. Mobrazilia!

He's doing ok for someone who's 100% not a CM. ?

Sigh

A contradiction

J Another was Jay McEveley marking Beckham out of the game on his debut. Thought he was going to be a star

Why did he play CM and CB as well? because they were the problems areas, not up front.

Why, would King have scored more than Rhodes? Would King have made up for Willowe in midfield or stopped us conceding goals? I think you need to accept that whoever was up front would have had very little impact on those areas.

That's like saying Shearer limited how we could play. The fact we had a 25 goal a season man had nothing to do with us missing out on the play-offs. That's a bizarre statement. We missed out because we conceded too many goals and drew too many games. Nowt to do with Rhodes.

"I've spoken to the owners, as obviously we've known this for two or three days and we need to bring someone in in that position. We are light and can't solely rely on Jack Robinson playing that position all the way through" - Wilder

12/13 - 27 goals 13/14 - 25 goals 14/15 - 21 goals Aye, bag of shite.

The catalyst is surely the way we play. Last season was turgid sideways passing masquerading as possession football. This season appears to be a lot different (didn't see yesterdays game) We'll know more after 10 games.

Bowyer is now Derby's U23 manager or coach. Started a few weeks ago.

My wife makes similar noises during lovemaking. Well, that's what the Gardener told me.

Team full of squealers. It was Travis the other day!

Of course we do. We're threadbare in there if we continue to play a 3.

I think that's Travis again squealing in the background when the goal goes in?

Yes, he's been very lucky in that regard.

Agreed Let's call them wingers - we've only got 2 - Chapman and Dolan. A goal and assist from them yesterday. Better than a season of watching Gally fall over his own feet on the wing (not his fault, he should never play there). Dolan has already proved in 2 games the folly in playing a target man on the wing. What a waste of a position that was last season. I would love a left winger.
