Medicine Head - One And One Is One

I might have to have a stiff drink first. I can take us being out skilled but I’ll never accept a Rovers team being out-enthused.

We were at The Lowry last night to watch “ The Mousetrap “. Looks like we were the lucky ones. You can’t get a signal inside the theatre so as soon as I got outside after the performance I turned my phone on. I saw I had a one word message from my son. It just said “ awful “. So I turned to the BBC scores, my heart dropped to my boots when I saw 5-0. I texted him “ what happened ? “ . He’s so pissed off he still hasn’t responded ! I’m building my self up to watch the” highlights “ so blame can be correctly apportioned. The whole staff should be doing the same this morning. No punches to be pulled. If you want to know “ Who did it ? “ in “ The Mousetrap “ - it was The Chicken Chokers with a rolled up bank account in the boardroom.

Well if we haven’t we’ve only ourselves to blame. Two winnable home games to come.

Joe South - Don’t It Make You Want To Go Home

There’s a story on the BBC site regarding Danny Murphy. It says he was addicted to the “ Colombian Marching Powder “ after he finished playing football. He couldn’t have been on it at Rovers because he couldn’t summon up much more than jog then.

I take my hat off to Luton. They’ve had a tough time with getting pipped at the end of games but not once have they given the impression of feeling sorry for themselves. They’ve gone at it to the best of their ability in every game.

The Shirelles - It’s Love That Really Counts

An ex-workmate of mine is a dingle fan. He was bemoaning their luck the other day. I told him “ you look like you’re going to go down inspite of two rival teams being handed significant points deductions, how much luck would you like ? “

That’s going to be a really tough game.

I hope not.

REO Speedwagon - Take It On The Run

Percy Sledge - Out Of Left Field

Maurice Williams And The Zodiacs - Stay

Not only that but when he does play he usually comes off around the 65-70 minutes so we still need adequate subs to come on.

The Adverts - Gary Gilmores Eyes They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

Rumours are/were that Gally was on more than £10k per week.

You need two players, at least, for every position. Obviously there will be a difference in levels of ability.

He’s only championship standard when the guy playing alongside him is banging in the goals. His goal scoring record is nowhere near good enough.

It takes time to regain your confidence in your body when you’ve had a long term injury.

And as soon as they reach the required standard we give them away and we have to start all over again. It’s not sustainable.

It’s like any job - the time to start throwing your weight around is when you’ve established some sort of reputation. When you have some credit in the bank. Until then you keep your mouth shut and just get on with the task.
