What do you expect? Fans to start doing cartwheels when we concede goals??

Good start.... Oh well, there’s plenty of time to put it right.

I agree with this tbh. Fundamentally, I have no problem with us starting the season with the players that helped us get promoted, but I’d have liked to see Palmer and Rothwell start, really. Definitely Bell as well. He’d slightly help address the alarming lack of pace in the side...

Probably best not to start trying to be too smug until he's signed on the dotted line....

You just know that Nicko's come back would be 'things can change very quickly in football' or some vague nonsense like that. Then you'd still get gullible gimps eating out of the palm of his hand on Twitter.

Credit where credit's due, JAL's putting some meat on the bones here and not posting cryptic nonsense that makes steam come out of Chaddy's ears, so there is that....

Not true. We just don’t like people being dicks. Nothing posted in the recent past has been fitting of such a description though, so everyone will have to try harder, clearly....

People are that desperate for a signing, they will believe anything.....

Out of our league, those two. Mirallas going to Olympiakos I reckon and Vlasic is still very young and highly rated....

Right, re the 'happy clappers'/'doom mongers' debate.... Can we discuss why we disagree with people, instead of labelling en masse? It's getting very tiresome. Every single supporter is different and no doubt has their reasons for believing as they believe. The season starts on Saturday, so we'll most likely have something tangible to be happy/sad about then! Thanks ladies and gents.

Bit sassy that, Chaddy.....

Ultimately, as long as it arrives before the first HOME game, I’m not bothered. There was a problem with mine, so I had to re-order it, but it’s all sorted now and direct debit comes out on pay day each month, happy days!

Downing isn’t scouse.... Unless you believe that Scousers come from Somerset, I’m not underestimating you.

Remember what we talked about, JAL. Either say what you mean, or don't bother saying anything.

Which Evertonians are these then, JAL?

Are you sure Nixon got that wrong? That's really not like him......

No good if you have OCD!

The last few times I've been out on the ale in Clitheroe, I've seen him, so that would fit. Given his past endeavours, he can go and sit on a telephone wire for me.....

It’s not one sided at all. In fact, loads of warnings have been dished out to those on the other side of the debate. It’s mostly down to manners and respect tbh.

Yet if JH had called Unsall a 'happy clapper', imagine the reaction from those of a similar mindset. It's hardly unreasonable to say that a team that was in the league above us last season they are in a better place than us, to be fair. Quite simply, if people followed the guideline of 'not being a dick', then we'd be better off on here.

Asking someone that spends hundreds (maybe even thousands) of pounds following this club and giving up loads of his time presumably using holidays from work to do so, frankly deserves a lot better than 'are you ever positive about Rovers?'.

Is there really any need for this comment? Especially as he pretty much goes to every game home and away??

Can you rein it in a bit, please?

Hmmmm. Antonsson- chipped in with some vital goals initially, but then faded badly after his injury. Armstrong made a big contribution when he came in on loan. Payne, hit and miss. Chapman didn't get enough game time for me, but he looked very promising when he did. Dack- awesome signing. Smallwood- Looked excellent to begin with, but I felt that bookings thing kept him reined in too much..... Bell- Hardly played. Samuel- I've not completely given up hope on him, but I want to see more from him. Downing- Did a job for a bit. Nuttall- Hopefully he does a job in the future. Leutwiler- Has he played? I've never watched him.

If we blow some of our budget on a centre half, particularly ahead of a striker, when we've let Wharton go out on loan, then I'll be a mixture of annoyed and confused.......
