Well if they want to give it us we’ll take it

Lulling then into a false sense of security; great idea

There’s barely a game happening Should have had a penalty though

This lot look awful if we don’t batter them there are huge issues here

Seems an odd atmosphere around, struggling to explain it but feels somehow muted

According to Tony he didn’t want to cast an injured player aside who couldn’t ply his trade This isn’t the first time Tony’s own sense of decency has got in what’s best for the club

Just seen the football league are appealing it

So they have no actual punishment and now face Doncaster with a completely new side and a much better one than if they played it at the time. This is all for the benefit of Bolton whilst Bury got buried!

Sham of a punishment - I expected 9 points at least for each game

We snuck that in about Gladwin didn’t we, previously he wasn’t under contract but sticking around, now he’s had his contract extended till January? So despite never doing anything decent for us then being injured forever we actually renewed his contract

Well they have a new manager in place Gerhard Struber Not convinced he’s not a baddy from Die Hard though

I actually think Downing has been our most consistent player this season, barely had a bad game, hardly ever loses the ball.

Where’s Big Bad Brad Lyons? Injured or out of favour with the under 23s?

Worrying about Chapman, he obviously doesn’t want to be playing in the under 23s but last night was a game with a bit of focus, at Ewood, decent opposition and it seems he couldn’t motivate himself for it. After all the talk about him and his attitude he should be trying to prove people wrong not helping with the label

Maybe this is part of his problem, talking about the seriousness of football! It drills the individuality out of people, let people play with passion Tony, let them off the leash man I see shoots of it with Travis, he’s still a great young player but he seems to be coached to play more like an Evans or Lowe type, the forward passes are reducing.

I see Ivan Toney who many of us suggested as a cheap back up option is now being touted at a £10m plus transfer fee in January An outlay of less than a million would have got him at the time, we really did use that striker money in an awful way!

32% possession and 4 shots to their 15 Narrow defeat is the spin

Agreed Soon it will be ‘give him the Christmas period’ Then we will limp through with more losses with the odd win thrown in then it will be ’give him the January window’ then ’may as well see the season out’ It never ends

So we were told to praise Mowbray for his subs last week He deserves slapping with a medium to large fish today, 2-1 down he brings Evans on? Can only think he wanted to protect the narrow loss

Officially in the international break now go go go sacky sacky sack sack

Amazed people are saying it’s clearly not a penalty, It’s soft but it’s a foul anywhere on the pitch

Not sure I would agree that Armstrong is developing well, an absolute waste of a shirt most weeks

We talk about Bennett being undroppable but Armstrong for me is absolutely stealing a living at the moment, there’s no way Chapman could produce less. Anyway a moment I enjoyed today was after Buckley was mobbed for the goal Travis made sure he went to the corner alone and took in the adulation from the fans. Travs play style may have been diluted and dulled to a point but he’s come on a lot in maturity in the last season or so, think it will be his last with us here. Also I’m going to enjoy Tosin whilst he’s here, behind maybe Holtby and Downing he’s probably our best passer of the ball, vision is second to none, his nutmeg pass to Dack deserved a goal.

Is Dunn Buckley’s agent? He seemed to be getting a lot of congratulations after that goal

Yep we need one of those nice mutual agreements, we need to push on and we won’t do it with him here No malice, no hard feelings but time for a change
