Paul Ince mk 2. Campbell will be a disaster with his arrogant and aloof attitude. I saw an Ipswich fan on TV recently who was annoying at people saying 'be careful what you wish for' after McCarthy announced he was leaving. Well they really should be careful what they wish for now.
-
In truth most Oldham players did but that tells me a lot about them as characters given that they are now relegated.
-
Rakeem Harper played more games for us than any of our own players. What about Ryan Sessegnon at Fulham? If you are good enough you are old enough.
-
Three games to resurrect our coffin. ?

You need to get out into the garden for a while Nick ?. I think Ed Sheeran is safe for a while yet.

Terrific for Accrington and great credit to the owner, staff and players who have greatly punched above their weight to prove that money isn't always the key to being successful in football. It will be interesting to see how much they increase their playing budget by next season. I don't think it will be massive as their owner seems to be grounded and realistic.
-
Some interesting games today including Barnsley v Bolton, Sheffield United v Millwall, Middlesbrough v Bristol City and Fulham v Brentford. I would really like Bolton to go down especially if we go up. I would rather have a long away trip somewhere that go to that soulless retail park.

Last season a relegation scrap, this season a promotion challenge and another potential relegation scrap next season. According to Mowbrays logic that could be three seasons without any of these talented kids being given a real opportunity to become a first team regular. And meanwhile the squad is bolstered by the likes of Caddis, Whittingham, Samuel and the guy who thinks he is better than Dack.

I just want the best players out there every game irrespective of age. Our bench on Saturday didn't inspire me in the slightest.

I think (although I don't know for sure) that Rovers hands are somewhat tied here due to the restrictive nature of the Northcote agreement. Northcote see themselves as some kind of blue chip company and charge silly prices. I won one of the 1875 draws this season and the prize was hospitality for two. The food was average and the choice limited. I took my granddaughter and she had chicken nuggets and chips. Quite frankly McDonalds is better than what she got. I also believe that Northcote don't have any control over the Blues Bar hence the choices and prices which are much more reasonable. For an event like this it should be pie and peas or a one course meal such as curry or chilli.

To quote Andy Holt himself 'it's just the way they roll'. Up yours EFL ?
-
I wasn't but a close friend was. The incident happened right outside the referees changing room so he saw the lot including Warnocks lackey scurrying out of the disused corridor that divided the away changing room and referees room.
-
And Ternant ended up with a bloody nose from that after Blackwell nutted him.
-
As I intimated earlier you need to grow up.
-
I have met a few genuine managers but you are correct in your generalisation. Warnock however was the worst example I ever came across in nigh on fifteen years.
-
He then signed Diouf for Leeds having called him a 'sewer rat' after the Givet and Mackie incident. Warnock is a walking hypocrisy.
-
I know that. He personalised it by saying lucky for me because I didn't want Warnock.
-
What a childish thing to say.
-
I wouldn't. There are lots of players and managers, current and ex who dislike him. He is a nasty piece who is prone to the odd bout of cheating.
-
It wasn't the fact he didn't shake hands hands with Warnock that riled him. Quite simply it was that Warnock team lost and the circumstances. Warnock is a nasty piece of work and has a litany of previous for upsetting opposing managers, players and supporters. I honestly don't get this handshake nonsense between players and managers. The fair play handshake happens and then some players spend the next ninety minutes trying to get each other booked, diving and haranguing the referee.
-
Instead of looking at miniscule rule infringements the EFL should be championing Stanley as an example of a well run club who operate within a small budget and are on the verge of promotion. Andy Holt has been an excellent and responsible owner and deserves to be given more respect by faceless bureaucrats who don't live in the real world. Embarrassing is the only word for them.

The EFL would be better off investigating real corruption in football. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43617974

Clattenburg was the original nomination but he took the cash on offer from Dubai. The FA tried to get a late nomination for Atkinson but it wasn't accepted. Of more worry is the fact that England can't fill the ten places available to be FIFA referees. I think there are only seven referees for ten places and included in this are the likes of Atwell, Tierney and Madley. It's a real indictment on the FA and PGMO that this has happened since 2000 when the full time list came into being.
-
I agree. It seems like there are a number of deluded Ipswich fans who think they will become the new Barcelona overnight. There are lots of similarities with some Rovers fans and Allardyce here.

As opposed to the total football from Mowbray? McCarthy has done well in jobs at Wolves and Sunderland and despite having nothing to work with at Ipswich kept them as a stable Championship club. He also did well for Ireland in major tournaments.
