Know a Charlton fan. Marriage material. Funny, likes footie, lovely figure and a nice lass to boot. Hope we make her cry. Up the playoffs

I do think he is slowly improving. If the price was right. Ie cheap. I'd rather see any cash invested elsewhere. At the end of the day he's never going to make the grade as a number 1 at Brighton. Let him go to us. Cheap fee, sell on clause just in case he does kick on

Watching Preston play. They are a right bunch of twats. Ben Pearson has had cramp more times than the rest of the league combined. The kind of player every opposition fan hates but you love him if he's your own. Preston are nothing special. Goals from set pieces. Then waste time and cheat their way through the rest. I genuinely wish we had some of their shithousery

I guess in a sense he still has some time to turn things around. But I'm pretty sure he is going to go down as about the worst signing in our history given the circumstances

Someone who watches the youth team. Is Rankin-Costello an attacking midfielder at all. I'm sure I've heard people say he has played wing back. To me he looks like a player who doesn't know his best position but where he is better than average at youth team level can get away with being put in a multitude of positions. He showed a couple of nice touches yesterday but on the whole looked like a fish out of water. He doesn't look like it's in his locker to really run at players which begs the question why is he being played so far forwards. Can't help but think he's been a bit hung out to dry position wise in his first foray into the first team.

This is when this message board gets tiresome. You've made the statement. You back it with evidence. K-Hod has clearly said he would comment if given the example to go on. Rather than tit for tat, nooooo you find it.

Good half. What is going on with I follow though

Don't know if it has been mentioned. But Burnley have recalled Nahki Wells who is QPR's top scorer this season

It was pretty obvious it was serious. Also in terms of how it happened. It wasnt so much of a foul, foul in that Morsy didnt actually put a tackle in. But all Dack was doing was letting it run out of play. And Morsy has kinda run through him. Which is just the type of player Morsy is. A thuggish cu** who tries to land one on anyone and everyone he comes into contact with. He didn't as such tackle him. It was unlucky. But the bloke is an absolute thug who is going to inflict these kinda injuries on players by the way that he plays with no regards for other players safety at any moment. It was an unnecessary nudge which has seen Dacks weight bearing leg buckle. The bloke is a wa*ker

I just love the bloke. He has helped reignite my passion for football. Being able to audibly hear his screams on the telly was horrible. He's my favourite player since Matt Jansen. I think it is a season ender in terms of promotion hopes. I'm sad for the bloke

He just isn't a footballer. He looks uncoordinated and has the strangest posture. The bloke isn't an athlete at all and doesn't have the technique to get by either. Some people say he's been badly managed and some fans want him to fail. I don't think any of that is true. They are just saying what they see and that is that he simply isn't up to it. We've had our pants pulled down

I know. Which is why I am of the opinion he is never going to make it, we've had our pants pulled down and he is generally a crap player

He did show a good bit of skill on the wing. He managed to knock down a couple of long balls. But generally with the ball at his feet he looks so clumsy. And off the ball he doesn't have a football brain. He didn't know when to press when to sit. Gallagher on the other hand led the line and was constantly yelling at brereton, directing him where he needed to be.

I was there. He wasn't

I can see us playing 2 ways going forward. The tried and tested 4231 against teams that sit deep against us. Dack to try and pick holes in compact defences. Then away from home a compact 442 like we played against Bristol. Replace brereton with Armstrong. Him and gally to work their socks off up front and the 4 in midfield to be narrow and compact. Perfect for a counter attack. In Gallagher i trust him to lead the line. The goals haven't come yet but he offers enough in his all round game to merit his place. I think in time he will show himself to be a quality addition with a 10 to 20 mil resale value

His posts make me smile to be honest. If you let that kinda thing wind you up then you really need to look into ways of being a more relaxed human being

His biggest issue with his ability in the air is he isn't brave enough. He has the height. Watch the goal. He is looking the other way and flinching rather than clearing anyone out that is in his way

Funny how some people are saying semi ajayi or however you spell his name. When he absolutely was a realistic target and exactly what was needed in the summer

I work abroad a lot. Got chatting to a guy from Pune in a bar the other night. A very well educated guy. He could only talk about the venkys in glowing terms, how they were an example for Indian business and actually had a surprising knowledge around their various interests. He had never heard of Rovers. Says a lot

I think the point is that any minor slip ups for him are magnified and in my opinion that magnification in the press stems from his race. So it's no wonder you say other players manage to not get involved in these incidents as they don't have the press trying to hang them out to dry all the time. With this incident all it shows to me is that he really cares. It's no big deal and I'd rather a player be a sore loser and take things too far than just go through the motions picking up their salary.

And the 150?

What is this #fov150 thing meant to mean?

You never know. We could stumble upon a cracking appointment. Unlikely but possible. The dice has to be rolled though. As we know exactly what direction we are heading under Mowbray

At the time I was angry. I live on the south coast. I turned off the telly. Pissed off at the inevitable. However many years later. Those images of fans running on the pitch. Kean puffing out his chest. I'm not sure I realised at the time how those memories would stick and how much it actually hurt. But it really was a sad fu**ing day. We went onto life support the day venkys took us over. But that really was a hammer blow. That has become etched into my memory

Great post. Some really interesting stats in there which back up what many of us are thinking. For me Mowbray really is showing his complete lack of tactical awareness. I believe his thinking is coach the players on a short passing game, instruct us not to play long balls and tell the players to try and play through the lines or some garbage like that is the extent of tactical instruction he is giving. That along with his cautious ness around opposition players has sterilsed us. I am not making a comparison here but they are just an easy example that jump into my brain. If you look at a team like liverpool, yes they have individual quality but they also have a serious of set plays within open play which they resort too when individual excellence isn't paying off. That includes taking the ball wide to attacking full backs who cross from deep. Slightly narrower wide forwards who create the space for said full backs. Players with pace in the correct areas for counter attacks. And a team which all run into the exact same positions when losing the ball. Clearly we dont have that quality of player but those set drills, almost American football style plays can be coached at any level. It is the creation of easy options/plays when the team is lacking ideas. Players know where to go, where the ball is going and where their mates will be. I see non of this at Rovers. Simply a one paced windscreen wiper football from one side of the pitch to the other, mainly between our 6 most defensive players. At some point they will inevitably lose it and we are exposed because of where possession is lost. The tactics are keep the ball, hope Dack can pull off a moment of magic. Its appaling stuff and I am pretty sure most of us on here could give players that instruction. And the players themselves will be casting sideways glances that there is so little structure that they are allowed to bring into their play. If they can't practise it on the training ground how can they produce an "open set play" in a game. Sorry for the lengthy post. I just cant believe the lack of direction in the team. I'm sure Gallagher would pop up with a few goals if it was clear from our play when he should linger at the back post or attack the near. Make all those headers he is winning mean something by communicating where the ball is going when we are in more dangerous areas of the pitch. Rocket science it ain't. Rant over.
