From a mate of mine in that area: “There are a few lads on our football team who are wycombe fans and they love ainsworth obviously but there is no science to his management. They smack it long to the beast. Nothing wrong with that but if fans are expecting a young, Eddie Howe-type tracksuit manager they’ll be very disappointed” Personally I’d take the punt on him.

The denial of our situation reminds me of this.

I have that sinking feeling. The thought of Tonebola in the dugout vs Barnsley is depressing yet sadly inevitable.

The main reason I think folk will have is fear of the Venkys incompetence. Or he’s a nice guy who likes choccy biscuits. Neither are good enough.

Free hit today as no one expected anything but 5 points from 24 is relegation form by anyone’s definition. International break... DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ONCE.

Yes that could prove costly over the season. Much like a certain managers win at old Trafford.

In a food analogy we have a lot of decent ingredients to work with just a chef that’s only capable of beans on toast.

Dominating corners.

He’s lucky that there’s so many crap players in the side who make weekly clangers Bennett, Walton and Gallagher particularly he slips through the cracks of the criticism he deserves.

So a soft penalty a Bennett special and an early consolation goal.

In 3 previous games this season we’ve scored 2 and lost. Wouldn’t be surprised if did that today.

Could be a cricket score.

Boro winning ? was hoping woodgate was done for and an sos to Tony the home town hero.

Unchanged side. Unchanged tactics. This is bitterly cynical but part of me thinks he’s done it vs the best team in the division away because if/when we get stuffed it’ll give him carte Blanche to tinker to his hearts content. Then for the rest of the season it’ll be when we didn’t change it up leeds stuffed us. But credit where it’s due. The most successful teams generally play the same players in the same positions in the same formation.

T minus 2 hours before one tombola machine spits out random names and another machine choosing the formation. The only certainty is Bennett will be somewhere he is exempt from the lottery.

There’s 6 teams between us and the drop. I think boro, Stoke and Huddersfield will come good. Well not even come good just finish ahead of us. Think Barnsley and Luton will struggle. So realistically I’d like us to stay ahead of Wigan and reading. Sorry what am I talking about we’re in a play off push. Silly me.

Puyol at centre back!?! Disagree with Tonebola there with beckenbauer, Bobby Moore, baresi. Would also be tempted to put maldini at LB over Carlos.

Incredible score from England yesterday. 241 with 31 dot balls is some going. Plus with a slow start could have been 250+. Probably scored more in those 20 overs than we’ll score in any innings when the real stuff gets underway. 4 wickets from Parky but he took some tap. Malan 103 from 51. But the latter just signed for Yarkshite ? don’t know how they do it. Lancs crying out for an experienced no 4 as well.

This is possibly true but unfortunately that have a plan A which is one more than Tonebola has.

I put £30 on at 8/1. Just before pne scored it went up about 16/1 tried for another £20 but they scored as was doing it and all bets suspended. At 2-1 to us Preston still pretty much went to evens. Its been bloody miserable as a rovers fan of late. But for folk who are prepared to financially back their dim view of rovers it’s been rather lucrative.

Bookies have us at 7/1 in a 2 horse race. To be fair could be longer. Another interestingly priced game. If there’s someone who went on Saturday as a jw walk on and is going today they’ll be £87 lighter on 2 tickets. Anything more than £20 in the championship is a rip off.

I’m not convinced by those numbers. No way Eeyore is on £2 million a year it just isn’t happening.

If those wages are right it’s bloody scandalous. If that wet paper bag is on £40,000 per week I will literally give up going. Anything over £5,000 would be exceedingly generous considering he’s useless and we’re £150 million in debt.
