At least we have Pears to cover for him🤣

Every game I have seen Markanday play he has been extremely poor for 99% of the game, then hits a stunner in the 1%. He loses the ball too easily when he is playing on the wing. His best position may be through the middle, up front. Take from this what you want, but I would say Markanday is just slightly better than Hirst, at the moment, and that is a low bar.

For me Bolton will always be rivals. Manchester road and the railway end, in the Seventies, was a daunting place to be a Rovers fan.

For me, world cups are there to stop me having to watch cricket.

The way he is playing, Hirst will be lucky to keep his U21s place

our league position would suggest, yes.

Markanday has been very poor for the U21s

Because there is no dominant team in a league, does not make it piss poor. In fact it can be the exact opposit, the Scottish premiership for example. Two stand out teams at their level, but a piss poor league.

Usually the only way to beat a solid foundation, is to have better players.

Being second in the league will offset any morale problems a bust up with Dack will cause.

I wonder if Dack will be with the U21s tomorrow ? With him not making the squad on Tuesday, and the return of Travis and Pickering. The likelyhood of him being in the first team squad are slim.

I have thought about it. I don't agree with your statement. For me, that is the end of it. It is pointless repeating the same views.

Because there is absolutely no way of proving, that bringing Dack on earlier would have changed the outcome. We did not lose any games becauses of the length of time Dack was on the pitch.

Who knows, not us that's for certain.

I agree Dacks inclusion earlier may or may not, have changed the results. But what I will say is that the high-lighted statement is utter bollocks, as it cannot be proven.

Have you see the league table recently

You have answered your own question there.

And by January we will have played them twice this season. So no, returning player scoring against us syndrome.

Neither of them are, at present, good enough for the first team.

Get a taxi from the station to the Brown Cow on Livesey Branch Road.

Reasonable prices for, admission, beer, food, and a win..

Have you seen Markanday play? As a winger he is awful, he is nowhere near good enough to take a first team central striker role. He may become a first team player in the future, but for me ,at present, he is miles away.

Money.

If we stay in the top two I don't care who JDT picks.

I am basing my judgement about Hirst from what I have seen for the U21s. I am not very impressed.
