Because he is desperate to be home with his family ?

Personally I think for Vale to be in the team against Birmingham, he has to be either be a straight replacement for Gallagher, or we change our system and have two central strikers, Vale and Gallagher, I would prefer the second option.

That statement is impossible to prove or disprove.

He had a better second half than the first, although he did score two well finished goals in the first half. Both second half goals coming from our wide left players taking on the right-back in dangerous areas. I don't see who Vale would replace except Gally. If I was going to start any youngsters, it would be in place of departing loanees/contract rebels. Adam Wharton for Rothwell, Barnes for Van Hecke, Brown for Nyambe.

Rovers win 4-3 Vale scores all 4. Not a great team performance, but showed good spirit to come from behind twice. Chelsea could have had the game wrapped up with the headed chances they missed. We looked poor in the air at the back, something that needs working on.

He came on as a late sub in the last two U23s games.

Burns is ideal in a high-pressing team, he is fast and aggressive. A replacement for Khadra, he hasn't got as many tricks as Khadra, but he knows where the goal is.

Hopefully !

Because Mowbray won't be in charge. Of the players you mention, I would say only Van Hecke is a major loss.

I would say that is a top half team

Get down to Ewood tomorrow the U23s take on Chelsea. No pressure on the Rovers, Chelsea could do with a win to try to avoid relegation.

Get yourself a season ticket then.

Nyambe is very good at recovering a situation. But if he didn't make mistakes in the first place, he wouldn't have to. I still rate Nyambe as the best right-back at the Rovers. I don't think we play him to his strengths.

I don't care what every other teams do. If they get away with it, and we don't, then that is something else we are not good at.

Easily cured, stop diving, stop cheating.

woeful or wonderful ?

High - My first game, City at home in the cup, we lost 1-4 but it was the start of my love affair with the Rovers. Low - Palace away in the play-offs. Sublime - Tugays warm-up against Newcastle at Ewood.

Correct.

I for one thought we might challenge for an automatic place, but I expected a play-off place.

What's wrong with feeling entitled ? With the amount of time, money and effort I have put into supporting the Rovers over the past 50 odd years, yes I feel I am entitled.

Good old Charlie Austin.

It is the Rovers that have been piss for the last 3 months, we shouldn't have had to rely on QPR.

Stop worrying about the past, let's concentrate as a club, on the future.

Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out. I'll have to save up from my limited budget for a season ticket.

Make it as public as possible, and he might lean against Bournemouth to show he isn't biased.
