I wasn't too impressed with the last minute 3 at the back against Newcastle. I knew we were stuck for bodies but I think Bennett-Nyambe-Lenihan-Bell as a 4 would have been a better bet. As it was we looked lost and only got into the game after about 1/2 hr and by then it was much too late.

We should have been up for the Wigan and Preston away games but we were shambolic. I usually wait whilst after the game before I make my predictions. It seems to work better that way.

Weren't we paying that to Rhodes back in the day ?

Makes you wonder what would have happened if Matty had't have had that accident. Cole and Jansen was a good partnership. I know were lucky to have Jack financing the club but we were bloody unlucky with injuries in that period.

Yeah that was a bit of a mystery. He'd be on mega bucks at Rovers I imagine.

I agree with that, you could say they brought out the worst in each other.

I thought Cole was a very good signing, until we replaced Jansen with Yorke. Once Souey teamed those two up it wasn't long before they were in a competition to see who could run the least.

Well if Forest are prepared to " forget about the fee " I'm sure we will.

It's not so much that he's " undroppable ", he's all we've got.

What did we do with Kevin Davies ?

We went into the window desperately needing a back up for Graham and we've come out of it desperately needing a back up for Graham. Short term signing or long term signing, we needed somebody just in case Graham gets crocked and for the last 20 minutes when he's run out of puff. Nuttall isn't the answer at this level. Samuel won't play again before the season is almost over. If he does he was barely good enough before, I can't see a serious injury making him a better player. As for the Six million dollar man, if he'd come up through our ranks he'd be off on loan to Stanley or Lincoln. To be honest I saw more footballing ability in Tomlinson and we've just released him. Well we are were we are. As other people have said we've let our sense of entitlement run away with us. We should have been happy with finishing out of the bottom three, maybe we've got altitude sickness being so high up the table. What surprises me is that our management team seem to be surprised that even bit part Premier League players are on big bucks ! I thought even the dogs in the street knew that. I don't know much about Assombalonga but from what I read he wasn't a like for like Graham replacement. Gallagher I've seen play and he definitely isn't. Austin would have fitted the bill more in that respect. I find it hard to believe that we seriously looked beyond these three, There must be players in the lower leagues capable of running around with a bit of purpose at the end of the game.

That would have a great signing for us.

He's been injured most of the time at Rochdale, he's hardly played for them.

What's the problem with Charlie Boy ? I thought he was just unwell a few weeks back.

Noel or Liam ?

At a pure guess I'd say around the £250k mark.

So the only two strikers we were interested in in the whole of Western Europe are one player who played for us before and another player who plays just down the road in Mowbray's home town. To be honest it's hard to believe we were seriously looking. In future don't pee in my ear and tell me it's raining Rovers. Maybe our scouts are still waiting for their bus passes because none of them must have a passport.

It's the twitter generation.

You don't still believe in Father Christmas then ?

A short term signing but aren't they all. If they're no good they're out of the team and if they are good sooner or later they get sold.

The team more or less picks itself for once. I fancy a very hard earned point here.

Henderson at Rochdale's got that many in a bad team.

If you've got it it could be ! Just trying to lighten the mood on here.

Maybe they meant it's a disease were you feel the need to make things up ?

Bloody hell, he makes me look slim !
