The fact that it’s always game over when we go behind tells me how hard most of the players are. That’s what happens with a soft set up.

I do’nt think so. We’re’nt they not relegated at some point pre war ?

Too easy. Or Hedges crossing, that’s probably too easy as well.

They’ve always been a top division side since I started watching in 1960-61.

I see Rhodes came on and didn’t do anything. He’s slower now than he was before. I wouldn’t fancy playing either of those two in the play offs, Forest especially.

I’m not talking about strikers. I’m talking about guys like Giles who are hugging the touch line yet insist on coming back inside every time. Spence is trying to get around the back of the defence all the time. It’d help if we had full backs with the pace Spence has though. How many goals has Brererton scored like that this season ?

They’re playing another game to us, it’s not fair. Are you allowed to run around like that ?

I think you know what I mean. Fulham beat us in a stroll on Saturday. They wouldn’t beat either of these teams in a stroll.

I’d say it doesn’t matter, they’re both a goal better than us at the moment. They’d both give Fulham a game.

Forest have that Spence going outside on the right and banging the ball in every time. None of this left footer cutting back inside nonsense.

Brilliant game, end to end stuff, Forest just scored with what we can’t do - work a set piece.

Good game so far , two good teams zipping the ball around. Forest robbed with an offside goal that wasn’t for me.

Just watching Forest v Hudds. Why is they can take real corners and we can’t. Both teams are quicker, more urgent , more decisive than Rovers.

I think I’d give Rothwell a go instead of Johnson.

Darwen.

What was life like in Div 4 Longers ? Give us the benefit of your extensive experience.

Trouble is the lad will probably want to play. Brazil in the Maracana ? It’s everybody’s dream.

Does Tony know he’s wearing ear rings ?

Anybody think Hedges worth a start ? If not why did we pay a fee to sign him ?

A long way back then. A bit like a good pal of mine who is a Darlo fan. We had many happy hours at Feethams. They had a fanzine back in the day called - “ Mission Impossible “.

What league are Macc in now ?

By the way I’ve seen Rovers play in the league at Rochdale and lose. The Monday morning afterwards at work was interesting. That was in the old div 3. Not to mention the League Cup semi final when they were an average 4 div side and we were flying high in div 1. We lost 3-1 ! ! School next day was also interesting. Rovers eh, so un predictable.

This should have a thread of it’s own.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen City play at Rochdale in the league. When City were in the old third div Rochdale must have been in the fourth. I remember a pal of mine who was a City fan being gutted when they lost at home to Bury !

Shouldn’t that be grammar ?
