you do realise we where talking about Conway

Conway for left back.

The only bitching I have heard is after a mistake, the only problem is , he has made more than most.

Is Reed cuptied

That is the crux of the matter, you should be picked on how you are performing now, not what you did in the past.

I am grateful for the effort that he has put in at the Rovers, but I hope he only makes the bench.

Long may it continue.

Just didn't like bobbly ground

Is Smallwood banned for three league games or does the cup match count as one?

If smallwood takes Travis's place, I think TM will lose all credibility with the fans.

perhaps they are waiting for the banks to open, to hand over a cheque!

Ideal for a walk on safe standing area.

The main problem is that he uses up two touches whenever he tries to control the ball.

I may be wrong, I was under the impression, that under the present laws of the game, a DELIBERATE handball was an offence and a caution.

I am looking forward to the West Brom game, mainly due to the fact it's the first home game since September that I have been able to get to by train, so I can have a few beers pre-match.

If the ref gives it, then he has to think that it is deliberate, so by the rules he should book the offender. In that case ,yes. I am not agreeing with the rules. But we are playing the game to the rules as they are. If the rules need changing that is up to the governing body not the referee.

He did nothing yesterday ,for me to take any hope that he is going to become a reasonable player, let alone a star. I pray that he proves me wrong. I remember John O'mara saying that" The Rovers fans hadn't seen the best of him yet". Sadly we had.

But every deliberate one should be.

Neither of them needs to be on the same wave-length. What would need to happen would for both to come to the right decisions for the team. Similar to Clough and Taylor.

Yesterday the current system worked well enough until we where given the chance to take the game. Then through lack of a plan to take that advantage, we chucked it away.

Perhaps TM needs someone in, to help him out a bit more with decision making. In my experience (not in a football environment) I have found it gives you a better view of things if you have someone to tell you their opinions, rather than just agreeing with yours.

I just hope its someone else's bench.

I thought Graham and Dack should have been brought on as soon as they went down to 10. Instead TM dithered for ten minutes and let them organise themselves, whilst we sat back and let them. Then all bets where off with that stupid challenge by Smallwood. One positive from the game, Smallwood will be banned for three games.

That is when a confident manager would drop him
