As it stands we have a stronger squad than at the beginning of January, and we are second in the league. If we win on Saturday the window will be forgotten.

I knew I was missing something. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

The way it has been handled has certainly upset some fans. Another example of : A little knowledge can be dangerous.

Perhaps he is home-sick ?

I am an optimist. Rothwell shows some bollocks, and powers the Rovers to promotion, with the help of Dack who returns at the begining of March and scores 10 goals, in the last eleven games.

Their carpark must be nearly full.

One more booking and Van Hecke is suspended for two games.

Another center-half ?

Success in my eyes is winning on Saturday at Swansea.

The moral of the story is .............

I would never be in a Burnley trench. So don't worry about that.

No, what I am saying is that one persons input to that atmosphere will not change the whole that much.

What do you mean : If you go down. Don't you mean when.

What's a cheque book ?

They are all professionals, they have to play to the best of their ability, they don't have to like each other.

If Joe earns his place in our promotion team, I will cheer him. I wonder if he will be turning out for the U23s on Friday, or the first team on Saturday ?

Good old Dumper.

If we pip them for second place, they might still go up. If we beat them in the final, we go up they stay down.

No, his contact is up at the end of this season. He may have no job whichever division we are in.

Or Mowbray thinks if we go up, he will be potted.

Wouldn't it be nice to beat them in the play-off final.

I agree, but there may come a time where the option has to be taken. Let's see how the situation unfolds.

The thing is all the players are professionals. The best outcome for everyone if Rothwell stays, is that the Rovers get promoted. If we need Rothwell to achieve that, then the rest of the team have to accept that at work. Away from work he might be ostracized.

Adam Wharton, may be a bit too soon for him, but he could replace Rothwell !

Adam Wharton as a replacement for Rothwell ?
