  1. Mowbray really does need to change the team. We're really struggling
  2. When Mowbray should change the team around....he doesn't
  3. Brereton is so annoying..... needs to keep possession much better than he does
  4. Forest were pretty average but if they up the pace you get the feeling our defence will fold. We're going to struggle for goals this season, that's for sure
  5. Lenihan loves that 60 yard diagonal ball..... it never works
  6. Gallagher's limited but he'd be so much better playing in his best position in the centre. I actually feel sorry for him
  7. Brilliant by Rothwell, should be 1-0
  8. Rovers have won one, drawn one, and seeing as we're an average side, we're now due a defeat, and the fact that Forest haven't won a point so far, there's only one way this is going to pan out
  9. Luton riding high in the league with the only goal so far tonight scored by one A Bell.
  10. Blaming Bayliss is a bit far fetched. Silverwood has been in charge since October 2019. He is a more powerful figure than Bayliss because he's in charge of selection and coaching. England have not won for 7 Test matches. Silverwood is the man responsible, and that includes picking the captain. Root is carrying the batting but there's no hiding from the fact he made a complete hash of it yesterday. To recap, before this series, Bumrah averaged 2 in Test cricket. He cannot bat. Shami's recent innings have been lasting, on average, eight balls. The pair had an unbroken stand of 90 for the 9th wicket
  11. England's bowling strategy and Root's field settings at the tail enders was wrong. This isn't hindsight.... it was bleeding obvious during play and was pointed out by several former captains who were astonished at what Root was doing. His captaincy was weak and thoughtless. India showed how to bowl at tail enders It's been pointed out to you more than once that hiding behind the county schedule is an excuse for England's perennially hopeless batting. Many of India's players haven't played "first-class" cricket outside Tests for years. The best players can play across all formats. The worst thing is England are being bullied in their own backyard by a visiting team. Any thoughts on England's pathetic display? .
  12. I was at a "youth" tournament a few years ago for professional clubs' under-8s. One of the coaches told me some of the tots in his team cried when they fell over because they grazed their knees.
  13. Agree but that's the cut throat world of football and still misses the point of why we missed him
  14. Harwood-Bellis (a future England player IMO) and Elliott and Tosin were stand-outs and Mowbray clearly has a good relationship with Liverpool and Manchester City in order to bring them to the club but there's been a few mistakes ones too and if you look at his overall transfer record including permanent signings it's very "mixed" to put it politely.
  15. To be fair, Clarkson could be a player and if he's as good as Elliott we'll be delighted but it still begs the question of why Rovers again failed to secure such a local talent as a youngster and why we continue to use the loan market that merely serves to help the development of Premier League clubs' young players instead of identifying and signing players of our own on permanent deals .
  16. "I could have done things differently"..... Root after the game. Not good enough Joe. Why not be honest and admit you made a huge cock-up? This was a game that England could and should have probably have won. Instead it's been a humiliating defeat England under Silverwood are rapidly descending into the shambles similar to the 1990s. The batting is the weakest I can remember. Silverwood is responsible for selection and coaching and is the most powerful figure in English cricket since Ray Illingworth 30 years ago. He needs to turn the series around or he should go
  17. Careful. You're not allowed to criticise the club
  18. Perhaps he'll explain what he means by his statement. Rovers have a history of missing local young talent so it wouldn't surprise me if they missed another one
  19. He's a Clitheroe lad. He says he played for "Rovers when he was younger". Rovers have missed plenty of fine local young players over the years. He looks like another one
  20. But he says he "played here when I was younger"
  21. Well there you go. You should have known better Pathetic. Silverwood out
