I know but unless you are a bloody good con artist there has to be something there that people want to watch. Putting transport on for no one to use seems the least of the concerns. I live within minutes of walking to the ground and it would take all my time at present to go. Its a shame but its the position we are in. Maybe it would be better trying to get people to buy into away trips and making them into great days out that people wish to attend with the match as a side issue to create support because the stuff being served up as present wont draw the crowds. WE ARE the Rovers I agree

We've seen plenty of other players return from long term injuries, re injure themselves with similar types of injury in the past. Paul Warhurst and Kevin Gallacher are two that spring to mind. These thing happen and not always someone's fault. As lots of said it may of been because of fatigue but so can any injury. Any player playing three games in less than week could have suffered it. Mowbray's a plank should not be manager I agree but to beat him with this is IMO is wrong. Now if you were to ask me if Dack should have been still on the pitch because of his performance, I personally would have took him at half time.

The only worry is that with our fall in season tickets and the apathy that is around the club, is that buses maybe from outreaching towns might be a touch over the top. Car sharing might be more in order. With the Dingles in the premiership, we may have lost the floating Lancashire supporter. I think we may need something to pull in more local support as well but the club do not seem too bothered about that either.

Fair points but they are exactly the same problems that Mowbray inherited. He has tried different things but we are still making the same basic mistakes as from day 1. It does not matter what formation we play when your defence makes the same mistakes week in week out, season in, season out. There is no pace in midfield so transition is slow from either attack or defence. It does not matter if we have one, two, three or four there. How many times do we think that player x should be there or player y should have closed quicker. Everything is too slow. It does not matter who plays upfront because 9 times out of 10 they are too isolated because we cant get the basics right. There is no progress under Mowbray, nothing has changed. Its all smoke and daggers to hide it.

Sad to say but the option you did not mention will be the most likely outcome. Lose and Mowbray stays

As Ive said before when Gallagher plays down the middle he reminds me of when Kevin Davies played here. Davies goes to Bolton under a proper coach and he becomes a different player. We'll never know if Gallagher could become a better central player because Mowbray hides him out on the wing. I disagree that he can't hit a barn door. The few time he has played central he has scored.

No but neither can SG

Not all Hughes' football was good to watch. When we had Dickov up front it was very basic and in your face. This is not unlike Dyche, Moyes, Allerdyce and a degree Hodgson's today. This changed once we had Bellamy but still had a direct option with Kuqi. That is where Mowbray fails as we have no variety.

I understand contracts better than I know how to put you ignore it seems!!! Plodding around in midtable does not seem to put the manager's position in question. As I dont know what the maanger's KPIs are so I dont know if promotion is beneficial. His contract may say avoid relegation. You though seem to know what is in Tony's contract so I bow to your obviously superior knowledge.

It was you who mentioned AKON oraginsing a defence. All I was saying is that it is irrelevent because Mowbray cant organise a defence. If you are hard of thinking thats fine but I will explain. I happen to agree if Sparks as Mowbray is under no pressure to deliver and is well paid so why upset the apple cart? Youre now on ignore so I wont have to reply anymore.

If Mowbray could organise a defence then your argument would have a relevence...but he cant so we aint going up

Only pushing top 6

4 youre forgetting about Williams as well

It hasnt stopped him with midfielders, he just rotates them

I see it as one of two ways:- i. WE haven't made an offical bid and Crewe are trying to get a bidding war hoping any other club to make a bid. Barry Fry used Rovers several times in the Uncle Jack days to try to sell players by announcing weve bid for players. or ii. We have bid and been rejected so Mowbray is denying were interested as not to upset our existing players and he does not rock the boat.

He maintained his stance and did not mess us around. Mowbray had us hanging around. As soon as he let his feelings known we should have moved on and not wait for him. Why was it stupid? He had chance of premiership football, with no financial penalty to him. He is young enough to get set up if it didn't work out. Its not like he wont get a Championship club is it? Once a player is on Mowbray's wanted list he very seldom leaves it so it would not surprise me if it did happen

Correction.....mainly the same players bar the keeper. Nymabe, Lenihan, Wharton and Williams were all here.

All the way through the summer it was widely reported on most media sources that WBA was Kipre's prefered choice. The only sticking point to it was Rovers were the only bid accepted and as such Kipre hung on as long as possible for his "Dream Move" to the premiership. We were always his 2nd choice so agreed terms and medical because as we were Wigan's choice until shortly before he moved.

For him not to be counted as a senior, does he not have to come through our accademy? I think Chapman is classed as a senior.

Both these examples fall down by the fact that of the time of their eventual arrival Rovers had changed manager and in some cases several times. They are not the case where the same manager returned for a player who had changed his mind and signed for another club

I suspect that Trybull was only ever cover for injured Travis so with Travis on the way back then it makes sense for him go. Now with squad numbers tight we need to bring in defensive cover so surplus numbers in midfield should be sacrificed. If Trybull had excelled then I'd keep him but like with Douglas these loan players must go if possible.

He certainly did. It was a great equaliser if memory serves me It was the same day that we saw Simon Garner stood outside the player's entrance before the game with a can in his hand. These were great times to follow Rovers away

What he may have lacked in ability, he had what several of our present squad lack. He had heart and would battle.

Really? Lambert was lined up when Bowyer was binned, Mowbray arrived very quickly after Coyle, Appleton arrived for Berg and of course Kean got the gig as soon as Allerdyce was binned. The only two that time was taken was when manager's quit in Kean and Lambert.
