  1. Lenihan is closing in on 100 games for us which I think gives him experience. Impetuous describes him perfectly recently and hopefully the coaching staff are working on this weakness. Improving the collective is the aim and I think this could be achieved with Rodwell and Mulgrew.
  2. Lenihan has on the whole been decent but has been prone to crucial errors recently. His distribution at times leaves a lot to be desired. It won't happen in the near future as Mowbray has said Rodwell isn't fit enough yet but moving forward I think Mulgrew and Rodwell would make us better defensively and add a bit more creativity.
  3. There is absolutely no justification for such an extortionate price. I don't think there will be too much change out of £100 for those who bother going. Also factor in that many will have to take time off work. It really surprises me that clubs don't consider all the above factors when considering prices. It shouldn't surprise me though because I realised long ago that many clubs (including Rovers) see supporters as cash cows who are there to make as much as possible out of.
  4. And paying a fee for them both when they are out of contract in the summer would be crazy.
  5. He looked the player that lots of people knew was in there. I'd like to see him and Mulgrew together.
  6. Today was a good game to watch with Rovers having their almost customary slow start and then pretty much dominating play for long periods until Forest equalised. Some decent chances were created but not taken but overall the resilience we are showing will stand us in good stead. The first Forest penalty was clear I thought with Lenihan losing his player once again. Mowbray should really work him on the training ground for defensive set pieces. We should have had a penalty when Dack was impeded, it was arguably clearer than the earlier one. The equaliser from the spot was soft but the Forest player was caught by Rodwell. He made a meal of it but if you are making contact, however slight you are giving the referee a decision to make. After that we could quite easily have lost. If we could start and finish games as good as we play in the middle hour we would be top of the Championship.
  7. Is it available to buy in person today?
  8. Leeds are charging £40. If you aren't going to Bolton because of the cost surely Leeds will be too much. In the summer I recall you saying that you would pay a lot more for your season ticket and watching Rovers was more important than your job. I'm sure you wrote that you would pack your job in if you couldn't get time off to watch Rovers play at home.
  9. Last season I joined along with the people I go to games with. None of us have joined this season because of the sheer greed of the club looking to make a fiver out of us. It's not the money but the principal. I'd like to see the take up this season compared to last.
  10. The distance is irrelevant. I know lots of fans who travel by train everywhere so they can have a drink invariably in a town centre before and after the match. The rail replacement option just doesn't cut it for many.
  11. Sometimes I wonder if Mowbray lives in the football bubble despite of him making a great play of his working class background. The supporter base is largely drawn from hard working folk and money is tight and watching football is expensive. Getting bigger crowds is what we all want but there has to be an understanding from the powers that be that there are many reasons why gates haven't significantly increased this season. A price increase on season tickets is one factor and the TV deal all the clubs agreed on will have an effect on any non 3 pm Saturday kick off. it appears sometimes that Waggot lives in the bubble too.
  12. Six years and I detest him as much now as I did through the lies and corruption. Time will never diminish them feelings. It's strange how he never got work again over here pretty much proving us right about him.
  13. And the real irony for Leeds is that should they get promoted they can only charge visiting fans £30 maximum. Leeds are here in a few weeks and we are charging adults £27. I understand Rovers are bound by some EFL regulation on visitors vs home fans pricing but I would love some clubs to rebel against this and charge them what we have to pay.
  14. For lots of good supporters loyalty will only be stretched so far. I have spoken to quite a lot of Rovers fans in the last few days who aren't going and the main reason is that overpriced product that will be Bolton against Rovers. They can watch it at home or in the pub, have a few drinks and it would still be cheaper. Championship football is in danger of imploding where travelling fans are concerned. I envisage our lowest ever away support at Leeds on Boxing Day at £40 for an adult ticket. I certainly understand anybody who is boycotting the away games where greed comes first.
  15. I wasn't aware they had changed this. Getting five yellows in the League Cup would take some doing though.
  16. I wish we would stop conceding goals at any time. We have let in ten in our last five.
  17. Mulgrews calf injury was reason enough to not play Lenihan. Charlie might be fit but calf injuries can be recurring if not given enough rest. Just heard Williams has been sent off to compound this.
  18. According to the LT reporter he might not have started as he was on four cautions. I think he picked up on this from Mowbrays pre match presser.
  19. If Mulgrew is still out it could be Williams and Downing at centre half on Saturday. Daft decision from Mowbray to start him in my opinion.
  20. It is one of the clearest penalties you will ever see.
  21. Great character from the team. Hopefully they can nick it now.
  22. Lenihan has been rash in the last few games. The alarming lack of foresight in not signing another Championship standard centre back could yet cost us.
  23. Starting Lenihan with four yellow cards already makes no sense to me especially with Downing on the bench.
