Mm, they'd love him in prison, especially in the showers.

I'd take a 1-0 win now. We need to get the show back on the road and we're due a result there.

You could be right but we'll never know now. To be honest if you're just looking at one player who would guarantee us promotion we needed to put the boat out for Ronaldo.

I'd put the goals at the side of the pitch. We'd be in for a feast then.

It's all about getting a return on the wages. If A.N. Other comes on big bucks and get you promotion it's a steal.

Not to mention the Gladwin signing. Remember him ? Looks like he came with an injury and he's been missing for almost a year now !

That makes two, well done.

I can't answer that because I haven't got the access to the scouting network we are supposed to have. Basically I don't watch football for a living, Why have a dog and bark yourself ?

He was a massive exception to that rule. How many other top managers are there still managing successfully at his age ?

That could be a very, very long list. You can add Ashley Ward and Dahlin to it.

Only if you're simple to start with. Are you seriously telling me that only the players that actually changed clubs were the only ones available for transfer ?

The older you get the more cautious you get. That's true in football just as it is in most other walks of life.

Anywhere out of the bottom 6 will do me.

What has any bodies thoughts on Dack got to do with the signing of Brererton ?

Not that one again. How are we supposed to know who was available and who wasn't ? If you come around with a cheque for £1mill Joe Bloggs won't be available, come around with a cheque for £3mill and it can be another story.

Coming on and actually doing something when Graham goes off would be a good start.

I'm in no way advocating firing our manager however I'm concerned about our recents results and the constant conceding of goals.

We can forget all about Mowbray being shown the door. Rovers are still running on auto-pilot with no real director involvement that I can see. In this case things would have to get dramatically worse before the Chicken Chokers took any action. However I think the board of directors at other clubs would be walking around with nervous looks on their faces this morning.

Yeah we're back to where we were a while back. No obvious first 11 and no real pattern of play that suits the skill set of whoever we put out there.

I've had the feeling all along that Mowbray was offered the chance of taking this lad on by whoever runs the show for Venkies. I'd be surprised if Mowbray had actually had him scouted at a serious level. It was a take it or leave it deal. He possibly thought " What have I got to lose ? " . Well we'll soon find out out. For that sort of money we needed somebody who was the first name on the team sheet, not somebody who was the first name on the subs list.

He needs to grow up. It's not a school playground on here.

You may not have noticed but Nyambe is injured.

You can forget that, he's our player. We just start paying for him in the New Year.

Lost in team selection I'm afraid.

Towards the end of his time at Rovers he was poor. I remember seeing his stats and he was bottom of the class regarding saves made. Like you say every shot from distance was a goal. Maybe he was " bad with his lamps " as my dear old mum says.
