Me too! But I'd hazard a guess Rothwell won't start. Hope I'm wrong.

Good news at last!

Are you really trying to claim that there is a connection between the MB and not having a "loud and raucous Ewood Park'? Ridiculous if you are. What you are on about is actually censorship on here. If people have doubts about the way things are being handled at Ewood----this is the place to express them. That is what its for----all things Rovers. I take it you wouldn't prefer people to express their "negativity" at the ground? In reality, people will say what they want to and there's nothing you can do about it, nor should there be. Rather than look for the traitors within, how about we return to talking football?

I honestly think he will start with Johnson/Travis. I'll be furious if he doesn't.

Its always behind the team. This idea that criticism on this MB translates into negativity at the ground is absolute rubbish. One of the reasons i'm often critical is that I want the team to win so much. I have never booed or heckled a Rovers player in my life (sorely tempted though!)

God what a touchy person we are! It was a genuine question. We have more than one weakness as far as i"m concerned. However to think that we play the likes of Barrow, Blackpool and Bury away to improve our away form is as puerile as it gets!

Which one?

They are his best two buys by a million miles. Hardly typical of his ventures into the transfer market though.

I'd do both.

Always away, always against inferior opposition (Rangers excepted)-----smacks of saving money to me. Don't want the cost of staging a game at Ewood in front of a small crowd. Hardly adequate preparation for a new Championship season?

That's too complacent. A centre-back was the priority. If we could pay £5M for a striker we could have got a defender (or 2) before now. Risking a last-minute panic buy here.

Thought exactly the same thing. On past record he will come up with a new excuse for TM! As I've said, lives a charmed life that Mowbray.

Why sign our most needed player on the last day of the transfer window?

The defence didn't let 69 goals in last season because there wasn't enough competition! They let them in because they weren't good enough! And they still aren't!!

Good in the air, scores goals. Even when, it looks he hasn't done much it'll be there on the score sheet.

You really think that? Player of theSeason?

Well 3 clubs will have managed it and they'll be promoted. We won't be one of them.

probably!

We could change our name to "Cadbury's Assorted"?

Well, he scares me!

I don't read it often! The first time would have been in the early 50's!

We don't have any silly money left, hence the "obsession" with what has already been splurged.

Charlton have just been promoted. We kept that momentum going in the early season---why can't they? And we have a shocking first game history of failure to win. So, I'm not counting on anything---especially with our defence.

By the club "yes" but every media site said £5m. Are you saying all of them got it wrong?

Don't worry about the fans, they're way ahead of the manager!
