Chaddy made as perfectly reasonable point so simply because it's him you took the concept to a ridiculous  level just to have a pop at him.

No Al. It wasn’t a reasonable point. That’s why I took issue with it. Players have a responsibility. It’s not just down to what they do in the shirt.

I agree with you, any other view makes a mockery of Mowbray's much quoted 'right character' selection process.

The bollocks posted on here at times is surreal.

Danny Graham should be sent out with the job of bullying Jedinek. Villa fans don’t rate him at the back and he’s their weak spot. He’s also been playing Tunzabe who hasn’t been comfortable at full back. We need to attack them from the off. Reckon it could be a 3-2 game.

I was predicting a high scoring draw, but we actually have a pretty good record at home against Villa, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we knicked the win.

Either way, I’m expecting an exciting game. Hoping to see more of our new signings tonight... in particular Reed and Brereton.

Thats totally unfair.

Rickys point was an extreme case of how the situation isnt as black and white as chaddy portrayed by implying that anything off the pitch is nothing to do with us. If his "private life" involves him doing things that get him in court risking a custodial sentence, and put himself and his club in the negative media spotlight then it becomes very much relevant.

Chaddy then replied by calling Ricky a "clever ass" before then inevitably playing the victim when he got a bit back.

[Colt Seavers]

I have a horrible feeling that Mowbray will start Smallwood, but will have Dack on the bench,with Reed, Brereton and Rothwell also failing to make the starting eleven.

Hope I'm wrong!

Suit yourself but if it hadn't been Chaddy you wouldn't have retaliated. I believe that it was reasonable.

With good reason IMO

[Neal]

Cheeky request but if anyone has a spare ticket going for today then please drop me a message. Come on Rovers!

[only2garners]

I think Rovers might have a few left Neal...

Smallwood fortunate not to be dropped.

Strong bench 

[Tom]

Smallwood is a lucky boy to be playing

[rovers11]

Decent side with a strong bench. I’m surprised that Bell and Smallwood have kept their places,; not surprised that Palmer has lost his. Dack is the key man as always. 

[ChrisPriceBaldSpot]

Can't remember the last time our bench was that strong. 

Come on Rovers 

[West Yorks Rover]

Not surprised Smallwood starts, TM loves him, would have like to have seen Reed given his chance, but a decent bench apart

from an out and out goal scorer, let's hope our £7m pound man can shine if needed.

First instinct to scan straight to the bottom - Dack, Dack, Dack? Yes, very good! Then his supporting cast. Great to have him back. 

Not ecstatic about Smallwood. Must be getting close to last chance saloon with all the options biting at his heels.

[Husky]

Not so cheeky request. Can anyone recommend a good curry place?

 

[dallydally]

Decent side but a really tough game. 3 points would be great

[AdamRochina]

pretty much a side we could have all predicted, would like to have seen bennett in the centre i feel he is wasted out wide, (needed a proper winger in the windows)  i dont rate smallwood anymore hes lost some of his tenacious no holding back type of play and seems to be timid and just lightly jogs about at times. 

to the game though i think villa might have a little to much for us but if we can show that rovers spirit we have seen recently then maybe we can steal something, come on rovers

[Fraserkirky]

Very disappointed to see Smallwood in the team still. Must have dodgy pictures of Mowbray.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

On Sky, it's all about Villa.

 

[Husky]

I had a dream the other night that we got hit for five.

Though in the past I have also had amazing dreams about dating ideal women, so perhaps there's nothing to worry about.

[AdamRochina]

seen villas line up they havent gone for a crap tastic back four this time with jedinak in there ect,  learnt from his mistakes as bruce, damn

[AdamRochina]

great save from villa, close from us, set pieces and crosses might be key here

[Bigdoggsteel]

Bennett isn't having a very effective game. He cannot handle tight marking
