That's why I said 'I think'. That is my opinion. We have first year professionals on more than £50k pa.

I think he will be on around £4k a week. He was on a professional contract when he joined from Liverpool and as such will have been on decent money.

Mowbray had said that based on what he has seen in training not in an actual game. And then he sends him out on loan again. I just don't see him improving the quality of the squad and it will cost perhaps £200k in wages.

Norwich are at Leeds on February 2nd. The sales of blood pressure tablets in Leeds should spike in the days before. And if Leeds are deducted points and don't go up every Anger Management course in West Yorkshire will be fully booked.

Memo to Mog the Smog. There's a star man running down the right, His name is Adam Armstrong and on the left he's shite.

That's not fair at all. They sing about Bertie Bee saying something to Bill Shankly and then "we are the Longside, Burnley" ad nauseam. Perhaps we should sing about Rover the Dog ?.

It's a song that's catchy with a bit of license with the words to make it rhyme. By the way was there ever that promised riot when Jordan Rhodes was sold or does Danny Graham really score when he wants? And as for King Kenny's magic hat.............. ?

I was going to mention his overall performance at MK which I thought was his best in a Rovers shirt. He was almost unplayable in the first half and scored twice.

The elephant will always be in the room whilst their name is above the door but they are rarely mentioned by any Rovers fans I go to the games with or people I speak to about Rovers. It's almost a case of out of sight out of mind. Hopefully you can get to a game and see for yourself.

I think the same pretty much every game. Pace is undoubtedly his asset but he/other players don't use it enough. Bennett's ball was a peach which got him in behind for the second. One school of thought is that he is far stronger on the right which I agree with.

I thought it was Lenihans fault. Smallwood was in front of him but he got himself into the wrong position trying to win a ball he couldn't leaving a gaping hole in the middle. It wasn't dissimilar to the Newcastle goal on Tuesday when he almost clattered Bell in his desire to win a header, missed the ball and let them in.

Despite another generally poor game the result keeps a little run going with another clean sheet. I thought Ipswich were awful and only when they were behind did they show any real ambition. There are lots of good things going for us at the moment but there are also lots where we can improve. If Lenihan can be convinced he doesn't have to win every ball he can go on to bigger and better things. Rodwell alongside him was very good and his reading of the game is up there with Mulgrews. Both full backs were better in the second half although to be fair most of the team were. I'm happy with results at the moment as that is the most important thing but for the purists the last two games must have been purgatory. Onwards and hopefully upwards.

I have seen a few of his videos and the lad is articulate and completely inoffensive. On the face of it there does seem to be a pettiness about it which comes as no real surprise to me. Hopefully the lad retains his enthusiasm for Rovers and it doesn't deter him from going to the games.

Although I haven't read his postings (I don't have Twitter) I wonder why he has started going public just now. His profile was briefly raised recently in the soccer sides which was covered by Sky. Perhaps he is about to write a book. The norm for has beens is to raise their profiles just before a book comes out. Whichever it sounds like he still has a high opinion of himself. His shameless public backing of Kean whilst aiming a low blow at the fans is what I remember most about him.

Now Rovers are contactless there is no reason I can see why people have to queue for a ticket then walk round to the turnstile they are entering from. Surely a few turnstiles which have a facility to print tickets (or a system of allocating seats) can be utilised. Anything is worth trying.

Was he playing Apache ?.

I can only speak for the Darwen ones and they are independently organised by two or three people. We go from the Craven Heifer and it's £3.50 for adults. Going back some time there used to be a line of Corporation buses outside Woolworths in Darwen and these left when they were full. The return buses queued at the bottom of Cravens Brow to go back to Darwen. It was the same from Blackburn Boulevard. It probably wouldn't work now as a park and ride because there are very few free car parks in any towns.

I sit in the JW Upper and recognise lots of regulars for league matches. Last night there was a significant number of people I haven't seen before. It would be interesting if the club put out the numbers of actual season ticket holders and non season ticket holders who were there last night. The club should be contacting the latter to see what they can do to make them regular attendees.

I think that will be Mowbrays excuse to leave him out if Evans is fit. But he is a lot fitter than both Evans or Smallwood-Mowbray who looks dead on his feet after an hour in every game.

And yet they have VAR in the stone dead rubber at Burton next week after saying it was only being used at PL grounds.

I haven't a clue mate but something about the whole episode just isn't right.

I don't think we have the players with the nous and intelligence to play anything but a flat back four. We had three players who could have stood in at right back playing tonight.

I actually feel for the lad now. Clearly out of his depth, confidence shot to pieces and physically weak. Somebody has dropped a real clod paying so much money for him

That may be true but it just never looked like a three. Reed spent more time in the orthodox right back position as did Bell on the left. Nyambe and Lenihan were too close together.

I didn't see it that way. For me we started with a 4-3-3 which I thought was bold.
