There's no space between "do" and the comma. It's all about high standards you know.

Before I pop my clogs I'd love more than getting back to the PL to see Rovers in a Wembley FA Cup final. The years roll on and you realise we're never going to get even close

Another disaster-waiting-to-happen keeper. We collect them like stamps

Losing with a reasoanbly strong team to a reserve Brum side down to 10 men. And the Tories are winning. Another great day. Thanks Tone. If yiu can't be arsed about winning football matches please go

Too late. The Ashes will have been and gone - again. Silverwood is looking like a very poor appointment

Silverwood hasn't been in post for very long but the portents are not good. For one thing, he doesn't seem very lucky. Very little has gone right for England since he too over, including illnesses and injury, and the same problems with the batting (and bowling) persist. Give me a lucky coach over a good one any day.

Another likely sub-par total on what by all accounts is a cracking batting wicket. Let's see how England bowl but I wouldn't be surprised to see S Africa make 450 plus, leaving England trying to save another Test. Yet more cameos by the top batsmen, 30s and 40s that should become much bigger scores. Silverwood's reign has not started well.

Martin Britt cost £25,000 from West Ham, a fortune for Rovers at the time. He had a wonky knee (done his cruciate) and the Cockney wide boys must have been laughing all the way to the bank because he was a good player and they would never have let him go otherwise. Rovers acted like an amateur club in not checking him properly. Gilliver was a good player too but should never have had that back operation with 1960s operating technology. Grabbi could play but looked timid and way out of his depth. Brereton even fully fit is the worst of the 4.

Trouble is, the No 2 is no better. Both goalies are tall, well-built athletes, but both are weak as kittens with no physical presence. Toss-up between them as to which is worse.

Even 7 points and we would be in 6th place., Pisspoor by Mowbray. I genuinely believe he and the club don't want promotion.

I'm certain Colin would stop us conceding so many though - and we would have a defined shape and consistent selection.

Having you watched Rothwell when he doesn't have the ball? I've never seen a player like him tear around at great speed trying to close people down - all to no great effect whatsoever.

It's not the worst squad, and we're still only 4 points off 6th place with lots of games to play. Don't you think that a tough nasty bastard like Warnock wouldn't get more out of our players?

I didn't say he did a poor job. That's your words. But we were relegated under his managership and it's on his track record

Warnock. Offer him a bonus on our promotion - which would provide much needed relief to our financial predicament - and I'm sure he'd come.

The ignorant make insults. Sensible people look at the reality that Mowbray was manager when we went down and was unable to save us despite having 15 games to do so.

Talking of mediocrity, Rudy Gestede scored his first goal in 2 years today in Boro's win at Preston

Tony took us down because he was in charge at the time. Rovers' relegation is on his CV.

Huddersfield, having beaten us 2-1, lose 5-2 at home to Stoke. This league is topsy-turvy and it wouldn't take much for a good manager to get us in the top 6 even now. Warnock would do it.

Millwall now in top 6 on 40 points. The league really is wide open. Only average results over the festive season (6 out of 12) would have put us on 40.

After one win in 6 it would be typical of Mowbray to put a winning run together. He frustrates the hell out of me and I don't enjoy watching his teams. I wish he would go, and soon.

I'm genuinely sick of Mowbray. Nothing will change for the better while he is there.

But nothing new.

Who has started looking down the table instead of up? Where's the next win coming from?

Good goalkeepers don't make silly errors consistently like Walton does. It's easy to understand.
