Yeah I’ve been to Boundary Park many times watching Rovers and my Rugby League team. Next to nearest ground for me. It’s not that long ago they beat Rovers, that’s the last time I was there I think.

I called it a day because I couldn’t handle the mental side of playing again. If it’s gone it’s gone.

Anybody in this league playing us should be confident. Aren’t we bottom of the current form league ? It’s the usual Mowbray bollocks. Doesn’t know his best team and doesn’t know what formation to play. As for them being up for it more than us. Tell me the last time we were up for it more than our opponents. They used to call it - “ lack of moral fibre “ in the old days.

“Almost” is the operative word when we’re discussing Mowbray.

Why not Nyambe, Brown hasn’t kicked a ball a first team level yet. Pickering’s not a fullback for me either. Three things you need to play there sucessfully - pace, pace, pace.

Brown and Johnson ? I Don’t think so. If Pickering gets a shirt he’ll be one very lucky boy.

That’s why he’s over rated. Just my opinion of course.

You’re letting the players off lightly. They’re No1 culprits for me.

It’s his knee I’d be worried about.

That’s the problem, we haven’t got a Tugay MK2

You mean his best half season. What’s he done since January ?

There’s more chance of him turning up at Watford I think.

It makes you wonder. Reduce the fan base to the point were they can shut the place down without too much hassle.

How many players has Mowbray actually improved ?

They might have two lots of ears but they never listen to the fans.

There’s more chance of me playing for Rovers next season than Brererton.

At least they’ve not ruined my Saturday this time. What’s the world coming to when I’m relieved we aren’t playing !

He needs to do something about his liking for cheap bookings. He gets booked too often for a player who isn’t particularly physical.

Write down a list of the 20 most likely candidates, then tear it up because the new manager won’t be on it. That’s what happened the last two times. Who saw Coyle and Mowbray coming ? I didn’t.

We’re back to normal with a Mowbray team selection. He doesn’t know his best team again and because of that he doesn’t know what formation to play. Any players reading this - forget the usual bullshit as to how well we’re going to play. Just do it, and then you can talk about it.

And we haven’t got one of what I would consider to be a “ hard man “ in the team. Travis is only playing at it. They’ll all soft lads who think kicking the ball at an opponent is being ‘“ hard “.

I believe you.

Lenny and Pickering as full backs ? Not for me. If we’re playing 4 at the back one of Wharton, Van Hecke and Lenihan will have to sit on the bench. Next to Ayala no doubt.

I don’t think he invented it but he’s certainly popularised it.

I remember the last time Everton were in this predicament and in the last game of the season the opposite goalie phoned one in. And phoned one is being kind. Later on he just happened to pay £19,000 in his bank account, just a coincidence obviously.
