And from a purely selfish point of view, I want to see the Rovers win the FA cup in my lifetime.

Plus it's U21s, and now we are using the better players from the U18's. Success of the team is secondary to personal development.

We could be drawn away.

I want us to go strong, and then draw Fleetwood in the next round.

Lose on Tuesday and we are out of the cup. Lose on Saturday and we are still in the play-off race.

Suntan lotion.

Without Diaz we play a system that suits the players we have.

Interpretation is only in the mind. I will carry on believing that he is here till June 2024, or until another contract is signed.

To progress we need to have the replacements already at the Rovers, before players are sold.

No it doesn't. What it states is that he is signed on with us till June 2024, or until he signs another contract with us, when there will be a different end date.

No mention of a years option, where did you get that from ?

I watched Markanday a few times for the U21s. He was played as a right winger, and looked awful. To show how bad, it was a toss-up between him and Hirst as to who was the worst. Having said that when he came through the center of the pitch, he looked dangerous, and has a good shot.

Up Town

In my opinion, yes we would want O'Brien. What Forest think of him, has no bearing what-so-ever on how he would perform for us.

We should have had a verdict within 24 hours of the window shutting. Isn't the Tuesday deadline just for the Rovers to present their case. Then the EFL get a certain amount of time to present theirs ?

The Rovers web site, in their preview of todays game says that it is a 15.00 kick-off, yet in the fixture list it is down as 13.00. Does anyone know for certain which it is ?

And us.

Waggot will come out with the same old bollocks about not being able to reduce ticket prices, because it will not be fair to season ticket holders. All he needs to do is reduce the ticket prices, then let season ticket holders into the home game, if we get in the play-offs, as part of the season ticket to make up for the reduction.

If we signed him on promotion, O Brien would take Mortons squad place, so in my opinion , yes it would be worth it.

He doesn't have to get in those positions regularly, he just has to get in them more than he was.

Hadrians wall

I think the most important positions to fill, are in the stands.

And these people are probably paid for the job.

I helped my uncle Jack, off a horse.

New manager bounce, my arse. If we are good enough we will win.
