Don't do it Hughesy.

Learn from others mistakes not only do I have two useless shirts with Warnock one the back, I also have a dog called Warnock. Should have just called him Fido.

[LeftWinger]

I of course can tell people that my cat is named after Rovers reserve team substitute Julio.

[Hughesy]

Junior is the name... and its not based on him anyway.... For what its worth I think Hoilett will stay anyway.

[LeChuck]

Don't do it! I've got a cat named Santa Cruz!

After reading these posts, I imagine Waggy is off to collect puppy Lardarse as we speak.

Will your next jersey have Fido across the back too?

[roversmum]

Of course, the obvious name won't date...

ROVER, Rover, here boy

[Steve Moss]

"Rover" is the name I've had engraved on my mug at my favorite Lake Havasu bar, Mudsharks. It's been awhile. I need to get down there and throw a few back.

Personally, I think Hoilett is a good bet for re-signing. Sam is an excellent man manager and I am confident that he'll convince Junior and his father that he features in the Rovers' long term plans.

Any news of how Sam's trip to Canada went?

Incidentally, it was no match to judge him in but Junior was if anything even worse than MGP at Stamford Bridge! Let's hope he gets a proper opportunity v Peterborough

How can you judge Junior's performance compared to MGP? He got about 15 minutes......

Junior really wasn't worse than Gamst on Saturday. At least Junior was prepared to get on the ball and put a tackle or two in.

If MGP is ahead of Junior next Saturday then Hoilett has either played exceptionally badly against the Posh or MGP (throw in Andrews and Roberts) must be Big Sam's love child(s).

But Hughesy, there are plenty of fans who want Hoilett in the starting line up and Pedersen kicked out of the club now. They've seen as much as that, as well.

Ped - get rid.

[Hughesy]

Not sure who you are talking about...Iv suggested MGP should leave, but to be replaced by Gunnarson or Adam Johnson (Getting too much headlines elsewhere now).

Not hoilett. I think Junior has a big future but im not sure its on the left wing!

[den]

I wasn't talking about you Hughesy, but look at the team selections in the match preview threads.

[AggyBlue]

He has a big future, it might not be at our club though. What's the latest on his contract?

[Big Fat Sam]

I wonder if Hoillets appearance against Chelsea which goes against Sam's normal sub's with the big boys is a result of his chat in Canada?

[JAL]

Very disappointed in this lad tonight, very.

No end product, too casual, no good at defending, potential eh!

[Tom]

I thought he was OK, played some great balls across the box which on another day would have been converted

In his defence, playing wide in a midfield four isn't his natural position, so it's no surprise he has some failings there. He's more than young enough to learn these parts of the game, which I guess is what these kind of games are ultimately used for.

Someone who is a slender build with pace and trickery is always going to end up as a winger, so he'll need to work hard on the defensive side of his game before he can be a first team regular.

Those balls across the box SHOULD have picked out the Rovers player not just hit and hopers.

Hoilet was too blame for their first goal, could have been the cause of another one first half. Macdonald was screaming at him to pull his finger out mid way through the first half. Thankfully they lost a man which allowed Rovers the LUXURY of keeping Hiolett on the pitch for the full ninety, eleven v eleven Rovers were struggling with Hoilett in the team.

Didnt see one thing form Hoilett tonight to suggest he MAY make an allround premeirship player, he made Emmerton and Pedersen look far more capable seniors players.

[Tom]

Pedersen and emerton ARE more capable senior players, the lads only 21 or so he has time to develop

19.

You'll be saying that when hes 26, 27, 28 and so on.TCO

I thought Hoilett got better as the game went on but tonight showed that he has alot to learn if he is going to play on the wing. The defensive side of his game is poor at the moment and this is something he is clearly going to have to work on if he wants to make that position his own. At the moment he looks far better when playing just behind the front man. Nonetheless, I think is has great potential but clearly needs to improve certain aspects of his game.

Come on parson blue, were is the end product in this lad, i've yet to see anything in him. He was lucky they had a man sent off.

[Hughesy]

Linked up well with Salgado in the 2nd half...put a few good crosses in too, which nobody was on the end of...6.5/10
