a player + cash deal for lucas if we except now. i would say that is not a bad offer and so would be inclined to except. if we get this deal again today, then we should except.

Accept the deal???

Could go either way this one, but it will all depend on if pool offer something decent today

I just wish people wouldn't refer to him as "Emo." What did the poor guy do to deserve that?

Emo is pretty insulting, but its much easier to spell and shorter then emerton

Brett certainly offers a lot going forward as a Right Back although I'm a little concerned about his defensive positional play. However, hopefully that will come quickly and sometimes attack is the best way of defence.

From the games i have seen, his defensive side of the game has been better then his attacking, as he is linking with bentley well but a few times they have both been a little to tricky for rach other and not realised what the pther was doing resulting in the ball going out. But that will come with more time.

Emo for RB! Lucas for LB!

Pretty rude the way he treated the club, as he could have easily said he didnt want to play for rovers. Good luck spurs, lets hope your good form continues

Good to hear he is doing well. It was the best for him to go to further his career. He's happy, wolves are happy and rovers are happy

I remember Lucas playing a good run of games as a left back a couple of season ago and aquitting himself rather well. I can't remember for the life of me who was playing on the right at the time (certainly wasn't John Curtis).

he has also played left back for australia on more then one occassion

Wasn't all doom and gloom the match, bentley and emerton seem to be linking up well, just the strikers need to realise what they are going to do with there crosses as they go into good areas just the strikers are in the wrong spot. The full backs were impressive with them both rarely beaten. Roll on Sheff U

some on this site could use some

Bentley had a good game for the most part and I was surprised and disappointed when he was subbed. Nobody has mentioned so far the brilliant backheel pass that gave Benni his goal. And he was certainly quite effective as an AMF especially in the first half.

Umm, didn't it hit the defender and bounce back to benni?

Rugby league and union as well as australian rules football all use the tribunal system

Yes.These are my opinions which I'm entitled to. It's not the result that makes me dispondent. It was the inept team performance.

I'm not saying you can't have your own opinion, but i didn't see savage perform as badly as you say, neither did bentley

We're carrying on where we left off last season. We are not playing together as a team. I've seen more movement in a fitted carpet.

Everton are the usual Moyes team; all running and playing together and wanting the ball.

Rovers are slow at getting forward, they do not support each other. Often when we have possession we are forced back into our own half. Then the ball goes back to Friedal who has to hoof it upfield, because there is no-one competant to throw it to, and we lose possession again.

The second ball is usually won by the opposition.

Re individuals; Todd and Zurab played well. Emerton had a very good game at right back. Gray was awful, losing possession regularly. Reid was holding midfielder and therefore didn't get forward enough.

Savage is the problem. The man is totally useless as a footballer. He cannot tackle, control the ball,create anything. He would be the first for me to drop, putting Reid in his place and bringing Mokoena in.

Bentley on the right and Pedersen on the left were ineffective.

Roberts was fouled and beaten in the air most of the time by Yobo but Rennie the ref ignored it all.

We'll lose to Chelsea 3-0 and then away at Sheff Utd we'll get kicked off the park and lose 2-1

Played four.......1 point and bottom 3 :-(

Did you watch the same game?

I dont think bentley faded, he was subbed before i saw anything of that. He did more then gally, but gally didn't really get any opportunites as the momentum had swung

Rovers 2-1 Chelsea

Bentley Shev

Benni M

Well what we really should be gratefull for is signatures like the one you have.=)

Seconded!

How about the sky sports article, ruud talked us up to him!

Good first 60-70 minutes, then it fell apart a bit. Not really a drop from the rovers players, more a pick up from everton. Bloody McFadden and co

Emerton did well, also was impressed by bentley, he did a lot of good things from the right wing but i did see what everyone means by he is a bit of a lightweight when he was pushed off the ball by kilbane when he was streaming forward.

Good signing i think this will turn out to be

Well done LD.

ouch

Blackburn 1-0 Everton

These games are always 1-0 or 2-1

Roll on next game. The players are not really going to want to dwell on the result so we prolly shouldn't as well. But atleast it is a wake-up call to the players, THE PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON HAS ARRIVED!

Those four likely missing, but does anyone else notice todd's name not mentioned at all?? Does it mean anything?

Thats what i would go with aswell

Same
