Someone of tender years, that seems to have serious back injuries. Could be a punt on his injuries not being a problem in the future.

If the new lad turns out to be any good, I can see Pike being released.

I will not come to an opinion about any player until I have seen them play. But as an u18, I personally think he will be behind Cirano and Pike for the U23 right-back position. It is only an opinion. He may well be better than the two that I mentioned, but he will have to prove it. I doubt Everton are letting him go because they see a future for him at their club.

If a right-back he will be behind Cirano and Pike.

I'll agree, it was a train.

The form has to improve at sometime.

I'd settle for winning the last three away.

Thanks for the info.

Surely all the Rovers have to say, is that it was a tactical substitution.

The similar muddled tactics that have been used to try to get fans buying tickets.

At least we still have a window.

I want Luton, Sheff Utd and Boro all to lose, whenever they play.

Ewood Express, I was on it as well.

Funnily enough Pratt did exactly the same for the U23s, perhaps that is something they practice at training ?

No postal ticket, no attendance for me.

It is difficult to set the world on fire if you are injured or played totally out of position.

Still not heard any injury news, about Ash Phillips, he was at the game today. I think the last time he played was at the beginning of February.

I can see Wharton eventually breaking into the first team as a central midfielder. When that will be I would not like to say. What I like about him the most, is his ability to quickly see a simple ball when under pressure and give it. He is quite strong and very tenacious. Rarely gives a bad ball, or loses possession.

I think we will sell more season tickets without Mowbray, than with him.

A good win, I was disappointed with west ham in the first half. We were never under pressure. Second half was totally different with west ham going more direct. I was impressed with the Greek lad in goals, he controlled the box, Batty and Wharton showed well, with plenty of aggression. It was a battling performance, which saw west ham reduced to trying dirty tactics. A thoroughly entertaining game. Longelo the west ham left-back looked a good player.

A hard game tomorrow for the U23s against wet spam.

Same here, even if they sent it by post.

Either of the two right wingers that are available, Hedges, Dolan.

I like Van Hecke, Kharda I could take or leave, but as both are loanees I don't credit the recruiting department.

So you would rather keep a proven, shit department ?
