The way he rolls people is his outstanding attribute. It takes him away from opponents in an instant, sometimes 2 or even 3 of them and space just opens up for him.

Luck has nothing to do with it!

Mowbray please read this!

Didn't Chairman Mao say it? Ha, just looked it up---attributed to Robespierre of French Revolution fame. That was one mother of an omelette!

Oh dear! You've lost it now! NO-ONE but NO-ONE on here is pleased that Brereton is not doing well. That's a nasty slur. I would prefer to be wrong about Brereton every day of the week because I AM A ROVERS SUPPORTER! Having come close to agreeing this was a bad transfer, a friendly post from SB and Blue has sent you scurrying backwards again! So you haven't changed your mind or you have!!! Which is it?

The problem is TM is still considering loaning Travis out. Cannot fathom that one at all.

As I said when you denied ever saying you'd give TM a 6 year contract extension, I often change my mind. I just don't pretend I haven't.

I must be dreaming then. I thought you had-----many times. Biz liked your post but I'm sure he's defended this deal many times! So has Chaddy. I think you're coming round to the majority view without wanting to admit it!

As many have said you don't get very much for 7M these days----------------and we haven't!

You don't usual do subtle but I think you're shifting your ground there!

I've never seen him play but it doesn't sound sensational.

Don't forget selection issues.

Personally, I hope we buy a centre-back who can go straight into the team. I'd play Lenihan as a defensive mid-fielder with Travis, and Reed farther forward. I look with great anticipation to that.

Surely, if TM doesn't get us up in the next 2 seasons, he'll be potted? God knows what happens then! Unless the plan is simply to produce an endless succession of Dacks!! As opposed to an endless succession of Breretons of course! If that's his decision he'll already be on marshy ground!

Surely you mean "after" we spent 10M on strikers?!!

They'll have to do more than knock on the door, they'll have to dynamite it!

You do know that I and others have been calling for Travis' selection for a long time don't you? Keep up!

Ah, so If Smallwood had been available, Travis would still have started--is that factually correct? Travis's performances when chosen, do make TM look stupid---fact. If TM continues to ignore him, Travis will leave, either on loan or, worse, ask for a transfer. Not fact, my opinion. Well-founded or far-fetched? Sycophantic----course you are. Never made a criticism of TM in your life!

Not the enthusiastic endorsement I'm looking for.

Usual sycophantic crap from you. I remember you taking the piss when I cast doubts on the summer transfer window! Just to remind you, TM has done great things for Rovers, he is a genuinely good guy and deserves the chance to take this club further. However he does not deserve forever, he has made plenty of mistakes that deserve to be pointed out and, in short, he is not God. You want to see Travis go out on loan while Smallwood replaces him?

You seem to overlook the manner in which we have thrown so many points away needlessly. Manager bound to get stick in this situation.

This is a poor reflection on Mowbray. He has been forced to give Travis his chance only because Smallwood is suspended. Travis has taken out the M.O.M. award! Makes TM looks stupid. Let's hope TM recognises the inevitable.

Let's hope that game marks the end of Travis loan speculation.

I'd take him. He is big, tough and ugly and that's what we were hoping for. We'll only see one Mike England in a lifetime!

Glad to hear it!
