Quite possibly one of the best players rovers have ever had.....quite an acheivement for a goalkeeper!

just drove from Rochdale to haslingden.....no problems. motorway is fine and the minor roads aren't too bad either...we passed a gritter on the motorway so looks like they'll be out tonight. Should be fine for tmw!

Here here Bucky!!

good news. Sounds like he's a decent player...and he's got pace!

the criticism of Dickov not scoring enough is completely unfounded when comparing him to Cole. Cole scored 11 goals for us last season while Dickov scored 14 for leicester. The problem lies, not with the strikers, but the supply and support coming from midfield. something which has already started to, and i'm sure will continue to, improve under hughes. Dickov will score more goals this season than any of our previous strikers have in a season since we got promoted....then you will be eating your words!! (or i will be eating mine!!! )

ive just been bought the latest kings of convenience album 'riot on an empty street' for my birthday and have to say its the best album ive listened to this year by far!! Also just bought over the counter culture by the ordinary boys which is also worth a listen- very smithsy!
