You're surely not suggesting we take a chance with another player who might come good in 3 years time are you? We want to get promoted this season don't we? All those things that people said about Brereton were true at the time. For almost 3 years he was hopeless. Now if the point of this club is to wallow in the bottom half of the Championship forever while paying large sums for players who can't contribute for a long time, then by all means sign another Brereton. Good for the owners---bugger all use to us. Clubs like UTD and Liverpool can operate this way but I'd suggest we can't. Not if we want the rest of the fans to depart.

Don't forget to wear your Rovers shirt!

Possibly the best outcome. Dolan could come in for Rothwell.He's always looked to me like a No 10. Not that I want to lose Rothwell though. At last we seem to have depth in the squad, the subs bench looks strong. Maybe that's another factor in our rise---competition for places.

Reminds me of Roy Vernon. Looked about 8st dripping wet. Didn't hold hm back! Mind you Roy could shoot...

I feel the same about Butterworth but he can't even get cameo role these days! I hope we don't lose him.

They have negotiated and so far failed to make a deal. Meanwhile, according to your definition, the club encourages Hedges to screw his club.

He scuffs it. All the keeper has to do is get down on one knee and wait for it to arrive! Surely this can be coached?

Yes--what happened to those big changes we were meant to see? It wouldn't be Waggot bull-shitting to a fan would it?

All this talk about who we should sign! We've got to third with what we have. I'd be happy with keeping them all and having cover at right-back. Oh, and get rid of Clarkson and maybe loan someone else. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The more players we have, the more fiddling around from Mowbray.

An American rip-off I think you'll find. Took for themselves the £53M Burnley had carefully built up over several seasons. "lent" the club money to keep going and charged it 12% interest. Club now over £50M in debt! They are not football fans those owners, they are money men. Should not be allowed, the rules are crap.

Very complacent here. We might move on, we'll have no choice, the issue is will we move down? Losing 3 of your very best players doesn't seem a recipe for success to me! Might never get another chance of promotion like this for years. We can keep this side together to the end of the season and therefore we should.

If only he could shoot!

And once again the opposition had easily the most possession!!

Boro score a 2nd!

That's what I said! If you expect to sell Brereton for £25M and see Mowbray given £25M (or anything like it) to spend on players, you're going to be disappointed too!

I don't think anyone has written either of them off. But I'm prepared to be disappointed. Wise way to be with anything Rovers since, oh, about 2011! Similarly I wouldn't be assuming anything about £25M from the sale of Brereton----should it happen.

Long-term we need English cricket to connect with more people so that more "ordinary kids" play the game. Increasingly we are forming a side from the elite Public School system as more and more of our free schools sell their sports fields to pay for printing paper and the like. The gene pool is too small. In particular we should try to engage various ethnic populations--West Indies, indians, Pakistanis and so on. I mean "engage" in a different way than Yorkshire have by the way. Finally, live international cricket should be seen on Free to Air TV again.

And he's 32 and been around forever!

Time for a wholesale clear-out, including Root as Captain---no leader of men and poor judgement. Selectors and back-room staff as well. The whole series has reeked of amateurism. Supposed to have put a plan together months ago and have stuck to it. Resting Anderson and Broad for the first Test and "saving them " for the second was apparently part of the master plan. Beaten before we started.

If the story is true then at least we know that our owners know we are third!

They are not the sort of signings for a club which should have promotion ambitions. IMO of course and delighted to be wrong but I haven't seen anything special in either of them( although my viewing of them has been limited.) But if they are to be replacements, then I think our promotion bid will stutter.

He imposed a system on players who were not able to carry it through. And he kept imposing it when it was obviously not working and we were leaking goals like a sieve. Now it feels like they've had their straight-jackets taken off this season and they are enjoying it.

Saw P.P Arnold and the Nice At Richmond Festival 1967. She was great, thought she'd died when I first saw the photo! Good bill that--Fleetwood Mac, Cream ,Pink Floyd, Who and a few more!

Remember that could happen to us and cost us a top 2 place or place in the play-offs. The only questions should be about the timing (and whether the tests were genuine which I'm sure they were) But I do agree that unvaccinated players shouldn't be in the count.

Who valued Khadra at £250000? Scrooge?
