I think it’s an accurate description of what has gone on, Charlie prefers to be at Ewood and is willing to fight for his place. Nothing sinister in my view. All the stats pertaining to results with him in the team fail to apportion blame to the rest of the team, who were playing poorly on a collective basis last season. Let’s see how it goes, if he can reproduce his form up to the end of Jan last year, it will be a major bonus.

Or maybe he just loves it at Rovers and just wants to see if he can get back into the team.

Football is all about opinions, I just think he’s a very good player.

Delighted to have Charlie back, best footballer we’ve got.

Looks like Preston about to sign Scott Sinclair from Celtic.

Exactly

Any teams that might get relegated because Bolton weren’t deducted points for missing games will be creating hell for the EFL. A free for all precedent has been created by favouritism for Bolton.

Well done, Mercer, after your aberration about the England Rugby team your prediction about Rovers doing a S. Africa on Wednesday comes true! No doubt, lashings of red tonight.

What happened Mercer? Hope Mowbray was watching S. Africa not England, who looked knackered and were out-coached.

Rovers will let her have an OAP season tkt, just call office or go down. My brother turns 65 2 days after season starts, they let him have the OAP tkt.

Hear, hear to all you say, Herbie. We owe a great deal of thanks to the folk who keep this site running.

There should be a parting of the ways with Conway, we need to comb the leagues for a stylish winger.

Kicking the ball out of play as an act of “sportsmanship” is one of the biggest problems in football. Totally ridiculous, because in 99% of cases there is nothing wrong with the injured player. The decision to stop play should be with the ref alone. If teams played on, it would cut out the nonsense in no time and time wasting feigning of injuries would be cut out immediately, especially if a goal followed.

I would say that Jim sums the season up really well in that article. For me, the best game I witnessed was WBA away, the second half performance being one of great football from Rovers, fantastic atmosphere in the Rovers stand and brilliant drama at the end.

Sheffield Utd are the best team I’ve seen this season. Fully deserve to be promoted ahead of Leeds, hopefully.

Definitely, looks more like a footballer than most of the other members of the team. If Mowbray is looking for players who can keep possession, then he’s the best placed young player we have......in my view anyway.

No way is Davenport ready for the first team, but John Buckley looked excellent. Rovers best player for me.

Probably because various agents have too much influence over the football authorities, and the people who want to be club owners.

We’re having a visit from old PNE And all the talk is about types of tea So put on the kettle and make up a brew To give us the strength to batter that crew.

I thought this was the Birmingham away thread, not PNE at home.

Absolutely accurate assessment of the situation. A lot of so called fans more interested in getting drunk and/or high than watching the game. Even in the stand there were “off their head” idiots abusing other fans. It’s a good job we didn’t lose or there could have been some serious inter-fan aggro, and I don’t mean between Rovers and Brum fans.

At game perspective; we needed to stop losing run and did. From the moment they scored we more than matched them, mainly because we set up further up the pitch. Not so sure that Adams was shooting for their equaliser.

One of the main problems in Feb has been the drop in form of Reed. He does so much covering across the back four but has not been as effective in the last three games. A dominant keeper who can organise the back four also needed, Raya nowhere near the finished article and has no real competition.

This is awful
