With all due respect were the “ project “ argument falls down is that clubs like Rovers can’t sustain a successful team over that period of time. If we had any really good players they’ll be lured away by clubs further up the food chain just like Armstrong was. Let’s just say we’d stormed up the league playing brilliant football - how long do you think JDT would hang around ? One of the bigger clubs that had just been relegated would be after him like a shot. The only way it works is if you have a shit hot senior management and scouting system that can identify replacements before you need them as Brentford and Brighton have done. We couldn’t be further away from being run along those lines if we tried

Time Is On My Side - Irma Thomas.

Time Of The Season - The Zombies.

Projects are for clubs with A* senior management such as Brighton, Brentford, Fulham etc not for clubs like Rovers who basically have no senior management at all.

I did until he got that long standing back injury. That’s guaranteed to make life more difficult for a footballer - see Dahlin.

I’d be happy if I could see some style and a coherent way of playing emerging. As it is at the moment I can’t. This season has been really poor so far.

Too many Fish In The Sea - The Marvelettes.

Here I Go Again - Country Joe and the Fish.

He’s a better bet than Vale. That’s all that matters at the moment.

On The Road Again- Canned Heat

Dolan is one of the few players we have that looks like he enjoys playing football and wants to be out there.

Good to see. I believe their first team was playing tonight at Blackpool.

Mowbray didn’t like guys with a bit of fire in their bellies, he preferred son-in-law material.

They’ll be better off. Saving the 35k a week and the £10 million fee if by some miracle we were to get promoted.

I’m not a fan. That fuck up at Rotherham was enough for me. If I saw that in an under 15’s game I’d be shaking my head.

10 v 11. Looking at the Ipswich team promotion is their priority.

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles.

The complete lack of contrition on behalf of all concerned after the Dingles debacle told me all I need to know about the current set up at Rovers. No point playing Dack up front, he’s unsuited to that role and you’ll miss his late runs into the box.

Weigh up whoever is the most comfortable playing on the left hand side out of Brittain and JRC and blow Pickering out.

That’d probably beat last nights team.

How can that be right ? There’s a real real conflict of interest going on there. The panel should consist of people who won’t be impacted by the decision one way or another.

I think they wanted somebody who they could play a more direct game with if they needed to. When their usual intricate short passing isn’t working.

I don’t think so. They were crying out for a central striker last season and most City fans thought he was “ the last piece of the jigsaw “.

I could have gone up to my son’s house to watch it. I’m not feeling great at the moment so I gave it a swerve. I didn’t want to end up feeling worse. His text after the game “ Can I have those two hours back please “ ?

I don’t think his legs are up to a midfield role these days.
