Well I think it helps when you have eleven fit players on the pitch and a central midfielder who can pass the ball forward. Somehow TM got a combination of players on the pitch that undid Stoke and should have gone on to win. That said I think it's at the stage where the decision-makers might be asking TM how he sees us progressing this season.

Very poor. Central midfield is key and we are too deep and ponderous - Travis looks very poor and needs some time in the 23s to get fit. Elliot is also struggling and Rothwell looks out-of-sorts. The only good news has been the new lad and a passable half from Douglas. Have to say against their astute manager, this game looks done and dusted.

What a stupid thing to say.

The thing about Trybull is that he's not physical enough to proect the back four, or creative enough to get the ball into the right areas of the pitch quickly - so far anyway. he may perform better in a different system.

Not sure why losing our top scorer and this season's best player makes any sense at all.

From LT Barry Douglas is on a season-long loan from Leeds United, with the recall clause within his deal understood to have now passed So, for once, you are right.

Sounds very positive, and I have read that Douglas can be sent back.

Very good piece by Sharpe. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19000155.verdict-rovers-now-underperforming-well-underachieving/

I was. In 1963.

I wonder what the MB would be like after the Trelleborg defeat.

I think you know.

Plenty of chances to win it.

I understand your frustration, but I get the impression we have talking to other clubs for some time.

I'm not sure this is fair. According to the LT/LL we have approached a number of clubs and are well-placed to take the lad from Everton on loan.

IN the LT today.

Bradley Dack during his time with Little Feat.

Bradley Dack looks uncannily like a younger Lowell George from the band Little Feat.

I was kinda joking.

Convinced that Gally could be a centre-half.

And the Knobbers lose.

A dire game for long stretches, but thankfully Big Club were as bad as we've faced this season and two pieces of exceptional skill gave us the win.

...and another assist from Elliot. I'm thinking that the pitch looks very poor.

A very, very poor Big Club performance has made it easy for us, but I just can't see us not conceding. Great finish and good half from AA.

It's in the thread, but all injured.

The long-haired fella from Newcastle and the Scottish lad in the PL was a low point.
