Maybe the Rovers thought that they would need Batty over Gent, as cover at left-back, who knows ?

But what the ref should do, is allow the throw, then give it as a foul throw, and turn possession over to the opposition.

Thats because they don't want our season ticket money yet.

Gent has always been the understudy to Batty.

Ian Holloway, usually calls Bristol Rovers, the gas.

Then you should move to Preston.

I think the last question and answer are the most important.

That is asking one of the three forwards to play in central midfield. None of Dolan, Szmodic or Gallagher fit that role. Personally I would play 3 center-backs, two wing backs, three central mid-fielders, and two forwards. This can be a more defensive minded system, it depends how good your wing-backs are.

Stoke away a few seasons ago did exactly the same bringing on Peter Crouch.

I don't think asking 10 goals a seaosn from a striker is asking too much.

that will leave us with only two central midfielders, and that has been a big problem for us.

I totally agree, the problem comes when the choice is between Dolan and Szmodic for their best positions.

And that doesn't mean a PNE fan.

Smokey Robinson will do.

Dispite two goals yesterday, I would still not offer him an improved deal. If he was to score six more goals between now and the end of the season, I might change my mind.

Funnily enough most of the keepers on our books have decent long kicks, under JDT it was an ability under-used.

We won.

Perhaps they were going to play three central defenders, but had to change plans when Wharton reported sick. Who knows, I know I don't.

Not when they are on loan at another club.

In which case he might make a statement at the end of the season.

Will I get in for free ?

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

At the moment Trav is an Ipswich player, why should he comment on the Rovers ?

Was she the one given the boot ?

The problem is a lot of the poorer teams also attempt to play it, usually with little success.
