Without everybody jumping on to me saying in Mowbray we trust,( old hat) Ive give my reasons many times why I think it will be a decent investment, whether it’s this season or next, but just find your comments saying you find simply absurd that Mowbray has sanctioned the deal, very strange and without any foundation I will leave you with this stat. Mowbray at Rovers. managed 89 won 45 drawn 28 lost 16 Think it works out at just over 50% win rate, lose 1 every 5.5 games ,that’s the best record of any Rovers manager in 143 years. Yes I know one of those seasons has been in league 1,but we’ve been there before. I just think he wouldn’t have sanctioned the deal, unless he thought he was getting a decent player, and you have to respect that record, and no, not saying he’s perfect in everything he does, but after the dross in managers we’ve had in recent years, I will trust him better than most, time will tell.

But no one seems to mention Armstrong playing wide, sometimes it comes off like Leeds, other games like yesterday he didn’t do it. Just because he was 6/7 mil if Graham and Dack are doing it, he will have too wait, or he’d have to change the system, Mowbray has bought him for the future, could be this season might be next, still early to make predictions but I think he will make it.

Strange isn’t it, peoples different opinions of the players, you say Evans offers nothing, while he had a quiet game yesterday, he’s played out of his skin this season, Palmer played pretty well last week thought he didn’t do anything when he came on yesterday, 4 points against decent opposition in last two games with QPR in top form, I’ll settle for that.

Still wouldn’t drop Graham or Dack, if starting him he would have to start wide right, and bide his time.

Yeah, will probably have to see a few more games, before we make up our minds, and once he starts games we get a better idea, I’d like him to start next week, think a team like Rotherham could be a good game for him to be eased in, but probably be on the bench.

Well the fact that many Forest fans didn’t want him to leave, the clips I’ve seen of him at Forest, not just down the middle, the game he destroyed Arsenal, and the many plaudits who thought he could end up costing 10/12 mil, and going to a top club,it’s called potential, oh and Mowbray rates him as well.

Think comparing him with Duff, is a little unfair, I do remember him small blond lad from Ireland, certainly was around then and a bit further back, To give you a clue I remember the other Irish winger, Joe Haverty, now that goes a long way back. I know you said you go back to jolly Jack, but I go back one further Dally Duncan, so we are both knocking on and seen probably more matches than most on here, not sure if you saw Fred Pickering play, now he stared in the youth cup final as a full back at 18, next couple of seasons moved up front, banged a load of goals in, record transfer to Everton, scored hat trick on his England debut, point being you couldn’t tell at that age what he could do, just saying give Brereton a chance before making your mind up, regardless of transfer fee.

Well it ain’t point scoring from me, how some posters have made their mind up he is useless, is the bizarre bit, like most normal folk need a bit more time to assess the lad, and to start comparing him to Duff like Mercer is banging on, is crazy.

Well if you’ve done all that, how can you make an assessment on Brereton you’ve hardly seen him play, how you can say he’s a dud already is really a silly statement, I don’t know yet if he’ll turn out a good ‘un or not, too early, as I’ve said many times I believe Mowbray on this issue before you, mind you he’s a football manager and you’re an accountant, big difference. So you might think I talk nonsense, but the comments you come out with, I think it’s you who talks the nonsense, I am surprised you’ve watched Rovers through thick and thin and still come out with the comments you do, anyway looks like we both talk nonsense with very different views.

Confident lad, think he might end up a top player.

Is that right, I know at least two on here who I think would like him to be a flop, not fake news.

Nobody said he’s the new Messi, but he will end up a decent forward, worth a go on a free, why do you come out with garbage like that, you say you hope you’re proved wrong, I really don’t think you mean that, think you hope he fails,you basically don’t know what you’re talking about, or you’re winding everybody up.

What a strange comment.

He’s not quick, and could be worth 1 mil, all arms and legs, rubbish, it’s like you don’t want him to be a succes, because of the fee, you’re wrong, end of.

Yep was a joke.

No Travis and Downing in Squad as both playing u 23s, could be good news re injures to others.

Ha ha nearly got you?

That was in response to Marty’s sarcastic comments, what’s wrong with people on here. please don’t mention wind ups it was a joke,got 48 ban for supposedly winding people up, why didn’t you mention Matty comments, even though to me it was a joke.

Well I’ll ask you,do you think I’m positive?

Ha ha you crack me up, let’s just enjoy the game 3 points would be nice, but not certain ?⚽️

Just up at Brockhall,talking to TM, you would not believe the team, this MB in just over 2 hours will go mental.

Last point on this, first of all never attempted to shut any one down, so people calling me positive, is that not attempting to shut me down, I don’t think it is, like when I think people being negative isn’t, but you only seem,along with others, to question me, anyway that’s life,enjoy the game,??⚽️

Are you for real, you’re saying no one has called me positive, ha ha I give up, enjoy the game.

Not said trust Mowbray in everything he does, I just thought on the Brereton situation, we should trust him, he doesn’t seem the type of manager to pay up to 6/7 mil on a duffer, I just personally don’t think we have seen enough of him to make any judgement, and till Graham and Dack aren’t doing the business he will have to bide his time, regardless of price. Now that’s MY opinion, not questioning yours or others, I respect yours and others opinions, and you should respect mine, but I should be able to post different opinions than you and others. No need for the sarcastic comments in your last sentence.

Why do I try to shut people down, I’m just putting my view across, and then the usual who disagree with me on nearly every point, shout me down and call me positive, but you don’t seem to say anything to them,think you should be a little fairer in your judgement.
