or formations!

I'm told by someone who should know, that Nyambe's agent is asking for the club to double his wages. I'm guessing he is not on a lot so double is not excessive. Given we lose him for nothing this situation seems ridiculous.

Sadly, yes he was. Been a regular since early 50's. So much to be proud of.

I've forgotten obviously but I didn't realise the crowd was so huge. I thought the standard of play surprisingly high, especially given the state of the pitch.

but he thinks he should be sacked!

You need a wall and an understanding neighbour!

Yes, I was at that game too. Special train---so full we had to travel in the guards van reclining on sacks of stuff and parcels! Clear penalty as well.

What about that attempted back pass from Rashford? Wtf was he thinking? "I want a transfer'?

Let's hope its not McGloire!

The strangest story in Rover's history!

Exactly! Why does he always go for the ones we like?!! It'll be Dolan's turn next!

i prefer the "Magical Mystery Tour"!! (guess its an age thing!)

Actually I have to say Gallagher is shaping up a lot more this season. Perhaps with Armstrong gone he is more likely to get into scoring positions. He's scored 5 goals this season and doesn't take the penalties. He and Ben are doing what they were bought for at last. Still taken too long, still paid far too much for them and all the rest! But.....

Raya already is! How much did we get again? And its not like plenty people didn't say so at the time either. No hindsight involved!

They were good loyal servants for sure but Duggie (as I've always spelt it!) was truly world class. You had to be there to believe it. Even then you didn't believe what you'd just seen!

No-one who has a view is barred from giving it though. Not our job to represent what we might think fans think. Each poster on here speaks for themselves

Never seen a Championship Table so bunged up! We have the best goal difference outside the top 3, all of which were in the Premiership last season! 1 more point and we would be 5th!

Fair point but has enough pressure been put on the owners?---I really don't know.

I certainly wasn't confining my speculation to Mowbray! However, getting into a debate about who is or isn't "a real fan" is a waste of time. If we "somehow" got into a play-off semi final wouldn't you want thousands of extra fans to cheer them on? Couldn't you predict at least some of them might come back? There is so much more choice for people to spend their money on now. In the 50's people rushed home from work, scrambled out of their work clothes, gobbled dinner down and got the bus to Ewood.Other than the flicks or Mecca there wasn't much else. Not true anymore. Clubs have to work hard to attract fans and retain them. Since Venkys turned up, all the club has seemed to do is alienate them and we've lost thousands and are still losing them. Bolton and Blackpool have shown you can turn it around but it will never happen with Venkys , Maggot and Mogadon.

Sad for you---if only you could have been raised on Duggie! A more sublime childhood is impossible to imagine!

The only way we'll know is if the club is run well and everyone is seen to be pulling together. There are actual fans who attend, supporters who would if the product was worth buying in their opinion and "latent" fans who would be tempted by an enjoyable experience. What would be the number of fans we'd "allocate" to Bolton or Blackpool? If the question popped up a while ago we wouldn't have said near 25000 but now? It all depends on circumstances. I agree with Gav on this one. There are many Rovers fans waiting for someone with a clue to "tap them". If Bolton and Blackpool can do it so can we---always, of course, with the right leadership.

I've got to the stage where I"d sooner have a different rubbish manager than the one who's been here so long. So get rid!

500 pages!

Not so sure about that.....

Pity we have to put up with him for the rest of the season though. Sadly "unsure' isn't enough.
