With Mowbray picking the team it would have been that anyway.

Marshall ain't no Burke

There's always a chance. A dogs chance and no chance.

But the ones who want to sit could move the 10 yards to NO2.

It's a poor do if the incomings fail. If we carry on gaining points, it's a success.

Is that your opinion, or do you know the poster. I do not see anything wrong with being literal. It is better than talking bullshit. I am not inferring that is what you do.

But that as got nothing to do with someone making outlandish claims

We will see at the end of the season.

Because it's all about opinions. You think we need a striker, I don't. You don't think we need another left-back, I do.

Some fell on stoney ground.

Only in a fire-sale

I'd like to think that we are planning how to beat Luton, but I doubt planning comes into Mowbrays thoughts.

Dack is a problem for the future. Next year at the earliest I would expect.

Particularly as Mowbray doesn't pick sides, with wingers.

It would work as long as the Rovers fans were at the Jack Walker side rather than at the riverside. I bet the police would complain about both sets of fans being in the same end

And don't even mention Colin Hendry.

Did you see in my original quote, the word cover. The U23s are still professionals. They might be small but Dolan and especially Burns, harasses and worrys defenders. As for Chapman, that is your opinion. Mine is that he would do alright as a forward. My main forwards would be Gallagher and Brereton.

We actually have cover in the striker department (Gallagher, Brereton, Burns, McBride, Chapman, Dolan). Our cover at left back is threadbare, (Pickering, Cirino).

I am not going to argue with you, over my opinion. But it is a good job Alex Furguson didn't read those same statistics.

I am not lowering my standards. Those I have mentioned, I think will play Rovers first team, or above, regularly. You mentioned Buckley, not me.

Personally as well as Garrett, I would add Burns, maybe Pike, definately Phillips.

So basically we have got Pickering and Cirino for the left back position. Last season we had Bell and Douglas. To me that is an improvement.

Are there any strikers, of the required standard, who want to be at the Rovers ?

But your statement was along the lines of, if a player does not want to come to the Rovers in the first place. Then forget them. My point was that, this was exactly the situation with Mike Newall. Luckily the Rovers did not follow your mantra.

I am glad we didn't adopt that stance with Mike Newall
