So point out the factual inaccuracies in what I wrote.
It's not a question of me being "clever".
I am NOT the one saying that Wilder would definitely be better than Mowbray.
I don't pretend to be able to read the future.
That's you.
So what you're saying is, I should agree with you - even when I don't?
I have no idea what Seventwo means by "playing the man and not the ball".
If someone expresses an opinion I don't agree...
Robin - I take your point, but the bottom line is that sites like this are about opinions, and I can't see that I should be pretending that MY opinions are different from what they are!
Sorry - I don't understand that post at all.
But "awful" compared to what?
We are just watching the facts-of-life in modern football.
Almost all the money is to be found in the top half of the PL. That makes the Championship a competition...
You keep putting words into my mouth!
I am NOT talking him up.
I simply will NOT condemn a player on the back of a handful of performances.
It's the same with Trybull.
He was poor against Luton,...
Have you got the Grand National winner and next month's COVID figures for us too, Champs?
I'm sticking with 2-1 as well, but if we get an early goal, we might well get four!
That was Gallagher's best game for us by a country mile. It was as if the goal he got against Luton was all he needed to boost confidence.
Like Saxo, I was a bit surprised by the swarm of...
Champs - I didn't say it was easy to win three in a row.
In fact, my point was the opposite. Because it's such an even league, any team which DOES manage that shoots up the table, and I really do...
Holtby was keen to play, but Mowbray felt he needed another few days.
Remember, performances in training are monitored very carefully.
I think you're being too harsh on Ayala.
You called him...
So stop following this level of football, Champs, if you're expecting something more than what the Championship has been for years!
I actually enjoy it for its unpredictability and evenness.
For...
I simply reckon you look at Rovers too much in isolation, Champs.
The Championship is like treacle - very difficult to get out of.
Most of the clubs who struggle into the PL don't stay for long....
I still don't get why a midtable Championship team should be described as "crap".
Or why you should be dismissing Luton because of history.
Why were you so sure, Champs?
Luton have beaten some decent teams this season, and it's almost impossible for us to get a settled starting-eleven at the moment.
Dack, Holtby, Ayala, Williams,...
To be fair, Champs, their goal had a strong element of luck to it.
The first Luton player was clearly shaping to shoot, but when he slipped, the ball skidded forward unexpectedly.
Excellent...
2-1 to Rovers, obviously.
Random reactions.
We played really well in the last 20 minutes.
Until then, it was frustratingly stop-start.
Fussy, inconsistent referee and a midfield stalemate.
Gallagher for a midfielder was...
Team guesses, anyone?
Pears (although there might be a slight bluff going on with Kaminski)
Rankin-Costello Lenihan Wharton Douglas
Buckley Johnson Rothwell
Elliott Armstrong Brereton
I wish players wouldn't do that.
He is asking to be targeted as well.
Champs - I think we all know the dangers of such injuries, in respect to the long-term.
To supply a more optimistic note, though, at a much lower level of sport, I have a personal story which might...
I hope that's right, Robin.
And Dack only a month away too!
I'm sticking to a 2-1 Rovers victory.
Only Armstrong ruined things for me last week!
O:)
