Mike Ashley will sort it out I'm sure!

A pretty clear evaluation of Wharton's value to us from Lancs Live: Wharton's unbeaten streak In the 104 league fixtures that Scott Wharton has played in his career (including play-off fixtures), the defender has lost just 22. Note that this includes loan spells at Cambridge United, Bury, Lincoln City and Northampton Town. It's staggering. Since returning to Rovers following his successful stint with Northampton, the team have not lost any one of the 17 league matches Wharton's participated in. The fixture against Brentford in December 2020 had the potential to tarnish that record as he was stretchered off with an Achilles fracture but even on that occasion, Jacob Davenport's rescue act ensured this phenomenal streak remains intact today. Besides just his winning mentality, Wharton's presence has fast become an imperative feature in the success of this Rovers side. He brings a balance to the defensive unit and his ability to slide a pass when Rovers are operating in their own third is crucial to alleviating pressure. It doesn't matter whether it's 15-yards through the needle to a forward or a 50-yard switch, Wharton's got the pass in his locker.

Good music that has stood the test of time.

The only one to be given an acceptable new contract! You couldn't make it up.😭

Yes, I've been wondering about him. He went from prolific poster on football matters only, to completely absent. Give us a word Stuart to tell us if you're OK---if you are OK that is.

3 day tests the norm with England now!

Pears should have taken the match ball home after that game.

That team is starting to get on my nerves!

That group of lads is absolutely flying eh? A year or two on could be a very good time to be a Rover!

My point exactly!

Can't help reflecting that once again possession had no impact on the result of this game. We had 34%!

No?

That would mean TM admitting he'd dropped a bullock with Pears!

We are very dependent on him playing every game. Wrap him up in cotton wool and let him out on match days. The alternative is unthinkable.

!974 that 3-0 Cup defeat at Everton. We weren't 3-0 worse but we were a poor second that day.

He's one for the future surely? in the meantime we have to keep him interested.

Worry about Dolan. If he's frozen out, plenty will come for him.Doesn't deserve it really.

This!

My apologies, teach me to read it properly!

Let's hope its with us!

Dolan is a player who needs regular first-team football too, will this signing push him down the list?

Well what sort of argument is that? Any player is at risk of serious injury at any time, its a part of the game. If we can't sign good players because they might get injured, what's the point of it all. Shouldn't have signed that Shearer ---too risky.

That's the reason why we don't want any sales!! That's not a reason for failing to bring in some cover. Some would risk us fielding an under-strength team as injuries/suspension take hold.

Nyambe's greatest asset is his speed up and down the right flank. A central position would rob us of this asset.

You're dead right there! Up amongst the 4 or 5 worst grounds in the whole League. For a Rovers supporter anyway!
