If Rovers are under manager's orders to play like this Tomasson hasn't a clue...... -

BBC preview for tonight saying Luton have won only once at home this season I wonder who that was against? -

What I do NOT want to see tonight is more fannying about with the ball at the back. When did it ever lead to a goal (except against us) -

Dolan starting 🙄 I really wouldn't Good to see Brittain back -
World Cup cricket in the US... really? Like football, cricket has sold its soul to Mammon, driven by money only, summed up by the the nonsense that is the 100. Australia squeezing in a tour to South Africa in the same summer as an Ashes series is crazy too. Money rules. RIP Test cricket

Lancs Live......"The Chilean". Someone born and bred in the Potteries isn't Chilean. Just because he plays for Chile doesn't make him "Chilean". He's an Englishman who plays for Chile. I wouldn't sign if I were him, some lower Premier League club will take a gamble on him soon

Reducing the number of county cricket games is not the way to produce a top Test team. It's almost inevitable England will get hammered again in the next Ashes series, there'll be more hand wringing, another review, and nothing will change, and so it goes on. The only conclusion is Test cricket is not a priority for the ECB.

The dreaded "Project" word. The poor old Wolves manager had one of those until today -
OK so you've got a thing about Le Saux but there can be little doubt he had more to offer as a player than Wright (good though he was). For a start, he was left footed, which made the team more balanced, he was quicker, and he was far more of an attacking threat. In case you're in any doubt, England caps: Le Saux 36, Wright 0. Rovers were a better team with Le Saux

We were dire at Luton and we were dire for most of the match yesterday so is there any reason to expect anything different at Cardiff? The slow, laborious build-up and unnecessary passing from the back which has cost us so many goals is reminiscent of Mowbray and will lead in the end to the same results Cardiff 3 Rovers 0 And that's being optimistic -
Wasn't Alan Wright one of the first signings of Kenny Dalglish's reign? Good playe but we replaced him with an even better one - Le Saux. That's how we were then and how you win championships - always strengthening and signing better players than they ones you have

We have, many times, not least since Tomasson took over. Luton's two goals in the last match came directly from our defenders playing around with the ball at the back -

If I were Dack I'd be annoyed too - Dolan doesn't have a football brain. The manager's got his favourites and Dack isn't one of them. -

I wouldn't pick Dolan even for the bench ..... sorry just don't rate the lad. Brittain not playing doesn't make sense .... he was our best player when he came on as a sub at Luton and he's the best footballer in the club -

Those big old leather balls were excruciating if you were unlucky enough to head the laces which were usually hard and stuck out - and in the wet the balls got heavy and nearly gave you concussion too. An old pro once told me his club used to soak the balls before kick-off to make them heavy, boot the ball downfield from kick off and hope to knock out the opposition centre half - or at least give him a bad headache. No wonder so many older players have dementia Greaves looks to be wearing boots with nailed-in studs. The first bad injury I had (of many) at footie was as a 10-year old being caught on the thigh by a lad wearing his dad's old boots. A nail was sticking out from a stud and made a 3-inch gash. It was painful. -

Hendry and Patterson look reasonably slim and fit but one of two of the others have really let themselves go. Would not have recognised Speedie if I'd walked past him in the street
