I know, football is mad. He'll earn more in a month than 90% to 95% of the people on this board earn in a year !

Correct, I'm not a big Conway fan but he played well on Saturday, he should get the chance to do it again at 'Boro. Same goes for Downing.

Because week in week out he's not been this good previously. He could just as easily play against play against 'Boro on Saturday and get the shepherds crook after half an hour again. Same goes for Downing to be honest.

I'm coming around to rewire your house tomorrow - do you want me to do the job or my 19 yr old apprentice ? Listen, me and you aren't going to agree on this. I think the club have dropped a big bollock with this signing, you think he's a star in the making. In time one of us will be proven right. Let's leave it at that shall we ? I've got a fence to Creosote.

He's cost the club megabucks, we needed a tradesman not an apprentice.

We need to forget about Chapman. Unfortunately he's one of those players who's career will be blighted by injury issues,

Just as well isn't it because the lad is nowhere near ready to replace Graham.

Yeah, you'd have to have played a bit to know that. None of them were all that easy. Ask that guy at the Dingles v Newcastle on Monday !

If they go up it's money well spent. The mentality you are pushing is the reason why the Dingles are second from bottom of the Prem. Brereton may be on less money but we won't be paying the £7 million over the next year or two with magic beans.

Err, Mowbray " expected " us to win. He said so immediately after the Wigan debacle. I can see why he was so confident now.

I see that Grabban got two more yesterday. What a poor signing he's turned out to be.

We played them at a good time Chaddy. They seem to be where we were about 3 years ago. Turmoil at the club.

Mm, what Danny Graham did today was what I consider a major impact.

Only if you disregard Breretons fee which interestingly they have down as £4.5 million. Thanks for the information though, really comprehensive, I couldn't really give it the time it deserves. 12 points above the drop zone is great for this time of year. Only another 21 to go and we can breathe easier.

The natives are certainly getting restless over there.

Huth a year or two back would have been good. I think that ship has sailed now.

I'll let you know when I see some.

How Mowbray got a 4-2 out of that team I'll never know. Great win, made my day. Dingles getting beat as well - Happy days.

Lets hope Forest " forget the price" in January.

Which clubs around us have outspent us massively ? I don't know about you but when I look at the League table the first thing I look for us how many points we are above the third from bottom.

You're dead right about that game at Old Trafford. We'd been running away with game playing 4-4-2 with Gally and Sutton up front prior to that game. Roy Boy loses his bottle in team selection and we go out 4-5-1 with a lone striker and got rightly battered. There's a lesson in that. Subsequently the wheels gradually fell off and the internal differences caused by that game saw us tumble down the League

No manager gets every signing right. Kenny signed the odd dud, Souey signed one or two. Fergie signed several duds, some them expensive duds. Roy Boy specialized in signing duds. Having said that a good manager will get his signings right 75% of the time. Average managers about 50% of the time. I'd suggest that Mowbray is running at less than 50% at the moment. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong because if I'm proved right things won't be looking rosy come May time.

I'd take that now. We need to stop the rot.

Win, lose or draw today we need a performance. A repeat of Preston and Wigan will not be tolerated. Having said that can't see the prospective team doing much. There are players in that team that weren't good enough last season at a lower level. Come on Rovers, come out fighting and put a smile on our faces.

Playing the buying very young English players is a risky game. That's why I thought the Brereton deal was a gamble we didn't need to take. Two or three seasons back the " Brereton " was Zac Clough at Bolton. Loads of big clubs were casting an eye over him but Forest pulled the trigger and signed him for a substantial fee. He can't get a game on loan at Rochdale at the moment.
