He’ll play for Spain one day. Not good enough for championship Rovers though.

The trouble is Mowbray would have had to sign about 15 players before he managed to get the “two or three players of the right ilk”.

It was all a bit sad really, nothing lasts for ever in football so that record had to end someday. I suppose you’ve got to be around for a while to realise that though.

I’d give him 5. He should have been gone long ago. We’ve been treading water for 3 seasons.

We seem to get more than our share.

Yeah.

Wasn’t he at Reading ?

And we sent Carter out on loan. They never learn do they ?

Looks like he’ll be signing that new contract now then !

Doesn’t it. I remember playing against a team who’s home ground was “ The Gravelhole “ . And it was.

Obviously I’ve not got a dog in the fight but I get the impression that a change of footballing style would be welcomed by lots of Burnley fans.

I suppose they had an excuse with the Covid regulations but that doesn’t wash anymore. If by some miracle we got to Wembley you could bet your house that they’d rock up for the limelight.

You’d still want to keep Dyche then ? Do you not think it’s time for a change ? Nothing is forever in sport, or life for that matter.

I always thought Oates was under rated. We could do with him in todays midfield.

And Franny Lee. I remember Bryan Douglas coming on as sub as we were being swept away by Bell and thinking that it was a changing of the guard. The modern hard running midfield player in Bell against the old time ball player in Dougie.

Same thing happened to my grandson’s Xmas present. He sent it back.

I’m trying to figure out what we’ll be collecting next season. We’ve had a go at collecting midfield players. Last time it was wingers. What next ? Strikers ?

It’s like I said before - it doesn’t matter who comes in. Rovers are a zombie club under this shower.

Thanks Tony. That made difficult reading. The aggregate score must be the lowest ever. Picking our man of the match must have been very easy.

We did our best but they were just too good, too fast on the counter for us.

And you came back for more ! I had a pal who was a City fan and he reckoned that was the best they played through out that cup run including winning the final.

If we were playing them tomorrow I’d want a two goal start.

When did we last play with that level of intensity ?

Did you watch Forest tonight ?

I’ve just watched the team that’s going to win the play-offs give Liverpool the fright of their lives.
