They could have had BBD for that permanently I reckon. He’d do more.

“ Club management don’t expect promotion this year “ . Tell them to let me know when they do - I might start watching them a bit more.

Cantwell will be like the second coming of David Bentley. Another one who lost his way badly

A guy on the Norwich site was saying he hasn’t had an assist or scored a goal in two years. If we are betting the ranch I’d rather have someone who is less of a gamble. Two years ago I’d have snatched his hand off but two years ago he wouldn’t have looked twice at Rovers.

I think they’re a bit more than rumours.

That doesn’t help, that’s for sure.

I hope this isn’t true. The lad has lost his way completely. We can’t afford to be re-habilitating players at this point in the season. A loan would be bad enough but no way should we be signing him permanently. The new Marcus Maddison.

Yeah, Dack’s done ok in that role but another player capable of doing similar things would be handy.

At the moment our centre midfield is weak and that’s were lots of games are won and lost. What we have at the moment is all of a muchness, they can all run a bit, head it a bit, tackle a bit, pass it a bit. What we really need somebody who can create chances. IE a Berkovic style player.

He didn’t do enough often enough for me.

He still wants paying. Anybody coming from Chelsea won’t be on peanuts.

Luxury player.

The worst thing in the world for a player is to know that he’s in the team every week irrespective of performance.

I noticed they were attacking with bags of pace against Everton maybe they’re loaning him to slow the attack down a bit.

More or less that’s exactly what he did.

Yeah Emerton probably had his best game for us in that match. He looked like a World beater. I remember watching him play for Australia in central midfield before he came to Rovers. He was the best player on the pitch, so we played him out wide.

It’s not just that is it. He was instrumental in getting the ball from half into our opponents half safely.

It was down hill after the Wolves game. My son tells me he was watching a game on TV were Souness was really slating Amoroso. Six months later he signed him !

He’s too “ head down “ for me. As we used to say. - “ he dribbles when he comes up to a pair of feet “.

If we bring our “ A “ game to this match we should win. It’s up to JDT to ensure 1) The team selection is correct. 2) The tactics are correct.

I agree, I was an avid watcher. Why did it go off ?

A childhood hero of mine. He made some fantastic records but as you say there was a history of mental illness in his family.

A guy on the Norwich site was saying Cantwell hasn’t scored a goal or made an assist in two years. Exactly what we need.

When I was thinking about the Dingle game I thought we’ve got a better keeper, better centre halves and a better striker. Where we were going to fall down was centre midfield and that is a key position.

This was genuine. There used to a shop in the Arndale in Manchester that sold replica shirts from all over the World. The choice came down to the Napoli “ Buitoni “ shirt and the Samp “ Phonola “ one. Later on I got a Flamengo shirt. It looked great but the material made you stink of sweat.
