That’s two months away. Mike Newell came back from a broken leg quicker than that I’m really concerned about the number of players we have who are unavailable for selection. Are the medical team at the club up to the task ?.

I was reading the Rochdale v Gateshead report earlier. The ‘Dale are my local team. Apparently Gateshead had two wingers out wide all the game and they left two player up on the half way line when defending corners ! Their coach must be a genius, eat your heart out Pep.

What sort of team did we have out yesterday ? It can’t have been much of a side with the first team/squad playing in London yesterday.

What’s the state of play with Gilsenan these days ? It’s a bit worrying that the injured list is getting longer and longer with no sign of players returning.

Would you care to enlarge on “ they somehow might be worse “ ?

Like you say he should have been out earlier trying to deal with the ball in the air. Once you’re trying to defend an header from 3 yards out you’re on a loser.

I still have my “ Back To Mono “ badge I got in the 1970’s.

I thought he got caught on his line. He was nearly saving it over the goal line. I’d want my keeper to be more decisive there. When I played any ball in the air in the 6 yard box was the keepers responsibility.

4-1-4-1 I assume.

Mm, very nice.

Is he still in the 6th form ?

At least we know where to go now.

Mm, where does that remind you of ?

You’ve never lived. I could have told you just how and where and under what circumstances I bought most of my vinyl. They were like a snapshot of my life.

Joe Root reckons we don’t play enough 50 overs cricket.!

Especially the way Rovers are being “ run “ these days.

Ajax are looking for a new coach having sacked a guy who hasn’t been there a dog watch.

Got them relegated and played like shite doing it.

Yeah, we’ve all had “ the ones that got away “. I had a fantastic record collection until they were awarded to my ex-wife in our divorce settlement ! I hadn’t the heart to start again with vinyl so I re-built the collection as best I could with CD’s but it wasn’t/isn’t the same
