It’ll be another tough game, we don’t do winning in a canter irrespective of the opposition. Anybody else think Earnshaw might get a game ?

Err, Oxford v Rovers in 1964. We were near the top of the old First Division and flying, scoring goals for fun, they had only just been promoted to the old fourth division. When i saw the 3-1 score come in on the old BBC teletype I thought “ They’ve made a mistake there, it will be the other way around “. No it wasn’t ! Not a replay but any Rovers my age will still bear the scars !

Can you see Plymouth selling ? I suppose they’re thinking the=money will allow then to strengthen in several positions.

Chaddy, Danns will be twice the player Leonard will ever be. Trust me.

Of the two I’d rather have BBD. At least he’ll be out there on the pitch. I was hoping for something better to be honest.

Rudy joined Boro from Aston Villa not Rovers. Obviously he’s mates with Rudy from that time. Once Travis is back playing I can see Forshaw replacing him after 60-70 minutes so we don’t burn Travis out again.

The game has moved on massively since that win at Anfield. They could probably field a reserve 11 that would beat us easily.

Some good player in that team. Imagine having Dunn and Jansen on the bench now L

Jeff Kenna was a good player, agreed about the other three.

That was possibly the only thing Frandsen did in his time at Rovers. Thommo with that last minute shot at our goal. What a great player he was for Rovers

Centre half is another story. They probably run the least of all the outfield players. You can easily play there until your mid thirties if you’ve looked after yourself.

I was right in line with it behind the goals. It was going in until the second it didn’t ! He tried to finesse it into the far corner when he didn’t need to.

Playing for Leeds the ball is in their opponents half most of the time and he still does nothing. It’d be worse at Rovers. He’s playing from memory Jim.

Didn’t he go to Bury ?

If we still had Szmodics he’d have walked away with the match ball yesterday. Where we’d be if we still had Sammi ?

They might be thinking of signing another striker so maybe he would be surplus to their requirements.

Redford was good, at Arsenal.

John Byrom, Fred Pickering, Roque Santa Cruz, David Bentley. The second time around was pretty poor.

Wallace’s ship has sailed. He’s certainly not the answer to our lack of pace up front. Hopefully it’s just speculation.

I’ve watched him 3 times recently and I’m still waiting for him to do something. Avoid.

We’ve just signed the “ experienced head “ in centre midfield in Forshaw apparently, I can’t see us signing another one.

Me too.

That was a real howler. He should have thrown his cap on it.

He’s got all the ingredients. It’d be a sleepless night if you knew you were up against him the next day. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your shin pads.
