Against Bolton. I can see Big Fat Sam being spiteful enough to get a young player to knobble him, so potentially not a good move.

I can't agree with that at all. I have never seen anything to suggest BFS is sort of manager to do that, which is a pretty nasty accusation. Nor are any of the managers I think of in the Premiership. Well, except maybe for Warnock...

Sav is out for the season

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where's the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

Sorry

Love it!

[Flopsy]

oh please we need a defensive midfielder not some fat showboating stepover pie eating pony

[Radagast]

Tugay and Dunn did us as a central midfield paring for the final third of our sixth place finish under Souness as I remember.

Of course Tugay was several years younger and Dunnie probably several pies lighter.

Now this is where Hughes' managerial skills have to come into play.

Given that My Little Pony is now long term crocked, he has to get Fat Boy to snort a couple of lines of amphatimine sulphate, do a couple of laps up and down Pendle Hill, get some sleep and then be ready for the next big game. No pies.

That's my solution

[LeftWinger]

Do we know if Dunn is going to get a run out tonight? I only live round the corner from the County Ground so might pop down if he's playing.

Im in the same boat LW, the "squad" is usually posted on the offish site sometime in the Afternoon.

I'll probably go anyway, I usually do - no excuse not to with where I live!

[JC4LAB]

Hughsie seemed to help Bellamy with his injury proneness keeping him on the bench if necessary..Dunny should be the same I hope..

[den]

Official site mentions Nelsen, Jeffers and Roberts as possibles for tonight, but no mention of Dunn. The full squad will be named later.

I've been once when we had Jansen, Amorouso, Enckleman, Gresko, Jemal Johnson, Paul Gallagher playing - can't remember if there were any other first teamers or not. It's great being able to stand right next to the pitch and watch.

[mode_m]

Welcome back Dunn! I am happy he has come back, and I think he may feel he has something to prove now and will play extra hard (I am an optimist, what can I say?).

[T4E]

Interesting point there. I was reading Paul Sturrock's column on the Swindon Town site and he said there will be a clause in new contracts along the lines that players live in the vicinity of Swindon so that they can be part of the community and are not driving long distances to and from home.

God help them.

Wasn't it more Flitcroft and Tugay in the middle? In fact I thought part of the bust-up with Souness was Dunn's insistence that the middle was his best position.

Correct. 2003 was Tugay and Flitcroft, Dunn was a substitute most of the time, or rightwing.

[tchocky]

I'm sure he will be in the squad for the Chelsea game. Hughes not risking him tonight as we are so short in midfield.... Here's hoping anyway.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It would be foolish to play any of the returnees tonight, it's no way to start a comeback on a treacherous pitch.

[American]

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am that we pay money for the guy and he isn't even anywhere near the shape he needs to be to play. He had to know he was likely going to move somewhere (and likely to us) and should have gotten himself in at least enough shape that he could have played today.

Very unprofessional and I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

[DP]

It's a 1 million pound gamble, and on his day he's a match winner.

Certainly not worth getting more and more angry about

I think there is a difference between "fit", and "Hughes standard fit"

[todd_could_take_tyson]

Surely Dunn would known how fit he needs to be to play in the premiership and for Rovers, after watching rovers numerous times as a fan, if he was serious about rejoining rovers? Hes obviously been lazy during his little holiday off.

[Exiled in Toronto]

I think there is a difference between "fit", and "Hughes standard fit"

...and a much bigger difference between Dunn's idea of 'fittest ever' and 'Hughes standard fit'

I like the comments Hughes makes on the official site, along the lines of, 'It's the fittest I've ever seen David and we might be able to get him in shape to be involved in a few weeks or so.' i.e. 'Christ, I'd forgotten what a fat pig he is!"

[tonygreenbank]

I`ve heard from a source who works at Parcel Force who deliver to the Rovers Training Camp that poor Dunny has sustained a back injury in training. I cant confirm this but if it is true it`s a blow for us. Could explain why he hasnt figured yet.

Liking the translation EIT!
