Which bit?

A disappointing performance. We had the upper hand all game but couldn't turn possession into goals. Some responsibility must be taken by the provider quartet of Dack, Armstrong, Downing and Travis. Gallagher, on this showing has work to do. The keeper looks okay, nothing more, but the fullback areas are really where we struggle. After a frustrating first half a lucky goal had in poll position for 20 minutes, when a Rovers' second looked inevitable. Poor defending and the game was over.

What a strange response.

Rothwell at fault for the corner?

1/92 into the season... anyway, of the newbees both Johnson and Downing have looked like good investments. Walton didn't seem at mistake for the goal and Gallagher looked ok. Dack, Travis and Armstrong were below par of three of the back four looked poor.

Just noticed - you are boycotting. Explain that one.

I do not understand how a small number of posters get away with, several times a day, making the same point over and over again about TM. He 's an idiot, he doesn't know what's he's doing, various players are useless.... They include Stuart, Rev Blue, Mercer, and others. Lately, egged on by mods this seems to be the new norm, each encouraging the others to be more outrageous than the last. When you try and call them out you are banned by one of the ring-leaders.

Hard to be even-handed when you're trolling the manager - as I've found. 20 years membership, three months, three bans.

Just checking - is this moderating?

He may not be the greatest manager in the world, but bumbling idiot he is not. What a lack of respect.

I always remembered Dalgish in his Liverpool days buying players who then had to wait to force themselves into the first team.

That's not what you said, but...... Goalkeeper? Defensive midfield?

We've signed five I believe.

Fair do's, strange what time does to one's memory.

Barcelona was sold out.

I can’t see any real criticism of our forward line and midfield on this thread. Just a defender or two short, with we are trying to address. And within our budget.

Off the pace.

Got us promoted and mid-table.

How can you "generally, only" sign players? It's one or the other and the sense from the sentence is clear. But thanks anyway.

"Only ever brings in players from his previous clubs." Dack, Rothwell, Gallagher, Johnson.

I drink Burgundy now.

Mild was 35p a pint first time I went into a pub.

You've posted this 25 times this month.

Thing is, you attack TM on nearly once a day, every day, whatever he does. It seems a bit obsessive to me.

Sorry, still pondering what your "huge concern" is. Frankly I think you're making it up, for effect.
