  1. If Morton isn't taken off something will be going through our tv screen! Think he's feckin useless.
  2. Feckin embarrassing. Advocated Kaminski started here - Pears at fault with both. Take your chances and win matches. Commentator said 'it's what you do with the feckin ball not how much you have of it'. Men against the bottling boys. Our feckin horrendous window is now biting us in the bum big time - hang your head in shame Broughton.
  3. Heart says Rovers, head says Huddersfield. Have backed Huddersfield at 2/1 - would be delighted if my bet went down but at least there would be some consolation should Huddersfield win. My team: Kaminski JRC Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Wharton Hedges Szmodics Dolan Leonard No places for the useless / the mard / can't be arsed with IMO, Gallagher, Morton and Brereton falling into at least one of those categories. You can just imagine Warnock ensuring his players try to psyche some of ours out of it 'tha wont be able to run round in Spain with a broken leg lad'. If we are to go down then let's go down with all guns blazing - on the front foot from first whistle and give it a 'reet good do'.
  4. Contradiction in terms there. 'Gutted' is generally recognised as meaning, bitterly disappointed, devastated, shattered, utterly fed up. For many, Easter Sunday is inspirational and signals a new start. Happy Easter Chaddy and cheer up lad, it's only a game!
  5. Certainly not pointless bringing them into the discussion. The points are he is 2 to 4 years OLDER than they were, he would be playing at a LOWER level and unless you give a striker a chance you will never know just what goals they have in their locker. I've seen Leonard, Gallagher, Vale and Hirst and I've seen enough football over the decades to know that Leonard can only be an improvement on, IMO. three of the most useless strikers (Gallagher, Vale and Hirst) I've seen in blue and white and it really is a no brainer. There is no risk and EVERYTHING to gain should he bag the goals to take us to the play-offs. IMO, the only risk is persevering with Gallagher and getting nowhere.
  6. You miss the point again Chaddy. When Rooney, Owen and Rashford debuted at 2 to 4 years YOUNGER at football's highest level, no one knew they would prove to be such talented lads. For feck's sake, Leonard is almost 20 and scores goals for fun. You give him a chance and he might just set the Championship alight - unless he gets his chance we will never know. The bench is no feckin good - do you honestly think he can do any worse than Gallagher, Vale or Hirst!?!? It's as simple as that and an absolute no brainer.
  7. Was Wayne Rooney ready at 16, was Michael Owen ready at 17, was Rashford ready at 18 - Leonard is almost 20 and there's only one way you find out if they are ready. Yes, I have seen Leonard play - an obvious eye for goal averaging more than a goal every two games. IMO, Gallagher has never been great (ironically it was Coyle who got the best tune out of him) but his recent performances have been rank. If Leonard is no better than Gallagher, Hirst, Vale etc then there really is no point in having him on our books.
  8. We have Leonard who would surely be no worse than Gallagher's recent sh1t shows - it's a no brainer.
  9. It closed about 30 years ago - plenty of new builds to look at round there though!
  10. Sad to say, we've bottled it and blown it. Warnock's Terriers will maul us on Monday. IMO, selection of Morton is feckin inexcusable. He's played one game too many for Rovers now. Adam Wharton MUST be given the rest of the season - he's the most talented midfielder we have FULL STOP. Huge, huge black mark for JDT. As far Gallagher, words fail me. We must play anyone there bar Gallagher. Give Leonard a go - look what happens when young lads get a chance, Owen, Rashford etc. IMO, Waggott, JDT and Broughton all guilty of no ambition, negativity and lacking bollocks. Our attitude is all too negative - for feck's say when you have an opportunity like we had this season then you grab it by the feckin balls. We need REAL MEN AND REAL LEADERS from board room to dressing room - ruthlessly hungry individuals with a CAN DO attitude. A glorious Easter weekend tempered by the muppets in blue and white and their string masters. Thank goodness the world has viticulturists and enologists - my solace tonight will be found in a fine red or two.
  11. If you are in Sole Seafood and Grill then Rovers would be last thing on my mind!
  12. This is a MUST win game. In fact, given our last 5 fixtures, I think we need a minimum of 7 points from the Norwich, Huddersfield and Hull games. I think Huddersfield will be the most difficult of the 3 games as Warnock has proved the catalyst for their mini revival and no one will fancy going to Huddersfield. I think we need a further 14 or even 15 points as there's always one team who makes a charge - take your pick from Norwich, Coventry, WBA and even PNE and three of our last eight games are against those teams with games against Burnley, Luton and Millwall thrown in for good measure. It will be tough but I remain confident PROVIDING JDT gets his team selections right. I don't want to see Morton starting another game for Rovers, whatever sh1t has been going on with Adam Wharton needs resolving NOW (as I believe he could be the difference in making the play-offs or not - it's clear as day midfield is our achilles heel) and Dack has to be brought into games far earlier than yesterday's 81st minute (30 minutes of Dack almost guarantees you a goal and/or an assist).
  13. Absolutely nothing to fear here. Think Brum have only 13 points from their last 13 games. Very confident Rovers will have more more enough to win this by a couple of goals. Games like this simply HAVE to be won at this stage of the season. Think Rovers' win at 2/1 is great value - get on them and get that Easter nest egg built.
  14. Don't disagree, however, to have him on the bench as a game changer would be huge.
  15. Any team promoted is going to find it difficult as Burnley's Cup thrashing at City showed - and Burnley are miles ahead of any other Championship club. We might well find life very tough in the PL and come straight back down, however, the chance to sort out the club's finances would be immense and parachute payments would give us a great chance to bounce straight back. What is the alternative? You can't plan to go up next season or the season after as it might not happen! Grab it by the b@lls and see where it takes us. Too much 'can't do', 'can't be arsed' has plagued us and held us back. We need huge doses of positivity and a CAN DO attitude.
  16. No worries for me - we are going up through the play-offs. I fear no other team. In the main since the World Cup, we've shown we can mix it with 'the best of the rest'. No doubt about it, JDT has learnt from some earlier season 'woes'. We don't p1ss about with the ball at the back as much and our play is more varied as evidenced by some of our direct attacks. Signs are that BBD is 'coming back', Dack has to come back whilst JRC, Carter, Szmodics and Dolan have made big steps forward in their performances. Thomas whilst not setting the league alight has given us a different dimension. The Cup quarter was a sickener and it's taken some getting over, however, in my mind, barring a spate of bad injuries, we are a certainty to go up. You can get Rovers at 11/1 to be promoted and they are generous odds - good money to be made!
  17. Dreaming here and seduced by the romance of the cup. Gone for Rovers' win at 6/1 and 3-1 at 70/1. For good measure, Leonard to come on and net becoming our new hero.
  18. Would be fantastic to make the semi- finals. However, sadly, feel this is going to be a bridge too far especially at their place. No denying they are a decent side and I think their experience, physicality and aggression will be too much. Would be betting against Rovers under normal circumstances, however, this is one match and occasion when I can't.
  19. We were right in the game until the last five minutes. Every team needs an Andy Todd!
  20. Yes you did - after that super early goal, thought we'd blow them away so bet 4-1 in play. Pre match was Rovers' win just shy of evens so a nice net profit. Tip for today at Cheltenham - An Tailliur e/w. Got it at 16/1 though odds falling.
  21. A Pinot Noir is terrific with a lamb curry! Though started with a Guinness particularly after Captain Guinness romped in at 12/1 at Cheltenham!! A terrific day, great win at Cheltenham, Rovers' win, bookies caned and super Indian and Pinot Noir.
  22. Huge, huge result. Think we'll look back on tonight after 46 matches!
  23. In the bag this - never in doubt. My win bet looks good so just stuck £20 on 4-1 at 20/1. Curry shipped in, wine uncorked, a good night.
  24. Wasn't Broughton with O'Brien in Manchester dining out until later returning to Brockhall? As DOF he should have been at Brockhall earliest ensuring all going well. He should have INSISTED the asministrators were also in situ at Brockhall. IMO, absolutely farcical on the day the window closes you have Waggot in Birmingham, Broughton in Manchester, admin at Ewood and others at Brockhall. Broughton is the DOF and it's his feckin responsibility to make sure all the cogs in the transfer wheel move smoothly. It's as simple as that.
