It was back Dack or crack We cracked Struggling to see why, but not much about this club makes sense. All the best, Bradley

As a going concern, bugger all as things stand. How would you like to buy a business that loses £20m/year?

I do remember the game but I don't remember the goals. Bolton were threatening to catch us and I think that put them in their place. Not only did we spank them, we properly outplayed them too. Great days

I seem to remember him knocking in a belting free kick

I would absolutely agree that this summer is pivotal. Let's see where we are come early August and reassess.

I think the origins of this are the owners. No ambition other than vague mention of a "project". It's balls, it's absolute bloody balls. The way this club is set up with so many people on easy Street, we'll never be successful. I tell you what the project should be. Never take a backward step, let no one outwork you, be second to no one when it comes to hard work, preparation, application and belief. Never give anything up, and if you go down, go down fighting. Instead we get all this cobblers about journeys and projects. It's just displacement talk, deferring actually achieving anything to some unspecified future point. It saps the life out of people, ruins morale and ensures you'll stay stuck where you are

Full disclosure: I didn't see the game yesterday. I wasn't even keeping up with the live scores to be honest. But I do get the feeling we're scared of success. The minute we're in a position that there's no chance of success, we turn it on. It was the same when Bowyer was here.

Following this club can be so draining at times. How costly was that last minute goal at Preston? It's going to be a very long, dispiriting summer

I'd not heard of him before. Matt Woods of course I had heard of. think he emigrated to Australia, didn't he?

Just done a quick Google and it would seem to be Roy Stephenson yeah Before my time, but I like the older stuff. Makes me forget that venkys are a thing

Nicked off of Facebook, who's the fella in the background?

But why bother to own us then?

Totally agree with that. Particularly when it gets to Jan/Feb and the pitches are heavier. Flogging yourself in training doesn't help, and you should already be conditioned due to close season work, and the games and training you've already had. Disastrous transfer window notwithstanding, maybe this has had an effect on our form tailing off in a gig big way?

Weird isn't it I thought the proverb was train hard, win easy Train like a machine, play like a balloon, doesn't resonate so well

There's a tiny part of me that still hopes that they'll sell up soon. If they're choking off the funding (making a change from choking their gizzards) then perhaps they're getting completely hacked off with the losses. If they're thinking they can get the losses down to nowt, they're very much mistaken. They're slow learners, so the penny when it eventually drops, may see them sell? It's the only hope I have left

I've not enjoyed it at all. Admittedly there was a cup run. But the way that ended left a sour taste. I do like the ici perspex retro kit I have now though. And the sixties kit. Guess that's something

Fair point. Or he may have put feelers out, put his name in the frame. I guess we'll find out. If it was me and there was an offer there, I'd be off. You're on a hiding to nothing here.

From where I'm stood, the club appears to have an incoherent organisation, with incapable people like waggott occupying key positions and being vastly overpaid. It's not an organisation that's going places, and I don't feel it ever will until venkys decide they've had enough, of they ever do. So if you're at the club and someone comes in for you and you are talented and have something between your ears then of course you're going to go. I did have it wrong about jdt, but then again, we're so difficult to predict. I think given what an absolute train wreck of a club we are, we have no right to even be thinking of the play offs. I'd be surprised if what he's done here has gone unnoticed elsewhere

I've still got my ticket stub from the play off final. I remember that missed penalty, someone took out super, I remember him giving Newell the thumbs up. Certainly the last ten minutes was something akin to the Alamo for rovers. I can remember it now. It was an unbelievable day. I think the overriding thought is that I fell so old now. What happened? Not brass farthing in my pocket, but so much energy and not a care in the world.

Think he does hospitality for the club. At least he did. I'm glad Derek is in good health

Oh it would've been forty of years ago. But it's no wonder we've got ex players now with so many issues, when things like that were happening

I would hope and pray that wouldn't be allowed these days. No bandage, no stitches, nothing by the looks of it. Yeah, it's bravery. But medical discretion is the better part of honour. I know Hendry is worried about the damage he's potentially done himself. John McNamee isn't very well, he's another tough ex defender. I've been reading a bit of Rob burrows book. It makes for sobering reading. I don't want to be a stick in the mud. I know people like watching gladiatorial contests. But if guys are playing like that every week, they're risking their health

Noel Gallagher you say? Maybeeeeeeeeee

Even better than the real thing

I'd definitely take a point right now ta. A last minute winner for Burnley that secures them the title. This is the stuff of nightmares
