Need defenders. Sign midfielders. Tis the Mowbray way. Makes total sense in for this darcy. 

Need defenders. Sign attacking midfielders.

That is a remarkably bad shirt.

[tomphil]

Yet another signing for the sake of it this would be, all down to possibly making a few quid on him in a few years.

[Paul Mani]

?? bloody hell, let’s not get our knickers in a twist over a tweet from TC9!!

[Norbert Rassragr]

I hope it isn't another midfielder. We've needed a CB and LB for ages now, and everyone can see it.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

It better not be a bloody midfielder ?

[RoversClitheroe]

He's a class player Ronan Darcy

[TruRover]

Have to say I feel like people are overreacting to this. I like many hope it is a CB or a LB as they are clearly needed, but I also feel like we need another midfielder, esp as were going with this 4 - 3 - 3 formation. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter what order we sign positions, aslong as we sign all of them. If the right player comes along then we arnt gonna turn it down because we want to sign other positions first. I’m sure (Hope!)the club isn’t stupid enough to waste finances on less crucial additions, I’m sure they’ve set out a budget for each position with a centre back and left back having the majority of our budget dedicated to them. 
 

One thing I am worried about is that there seems to be a disturbingly lack of left back rumours.

Unless Cunningham is lined up to come back?

Apparently he land badly after catching the ball from a corner. Stretchered off with oxygen. Must have been a heck of a landing. Probably knee or ankle I’d say.

Could be his leg Stuart. I've seen it happen before if you land awkwardly and if your weight goes up your shin bone.

[rigger]

How could we possibly do that. They have sold 5000 season tickets.

[tomphil]

How fit is Cunningham at this point ?  How many games did he actually play for us ?

Would that just not be taking the easy option again.

[neophox]

If Kipre joins Rovers he comes as a he will play games at Rovers and not sit on the bench. The guy was good in a midtable Wigan side. Solid player.

Ouch. Open fracture?

Yeah, Rovers were playing Fulham at Ewood years ago The game had only been going about 2 minutes when their centre forward and our centre half both went up for a Fulham goal kick. Our guy heads it back down the pitch, their guy comes back down, stumbles, and goes over badly. You could hear the crack on the Riverside. The guy was an experienced striker aged in his late 20's and he never really played again after that ! 

A really innocuous incident that you saw many times in a games in those days that went badly wrong.

Sounds horrendous.

I know that's an away, but I've always been impressed how Bolton manage to take such an inoffensive concept like a plain white shirt and every year find a way to make it look disgusting.

This formation does not suit Armstrong, Travis or Dack. Why is Mowbray persisting with a formation in which our three star men do not fit?

I saw worse as an young amateur player. One guy got a bad break, he was crying out, it was cold and wet but we couldn't move him. We sent for an ambulance but the security guys couldn't find the key to unlock the gates to let the ambulance onto the pitch. Eventually they found the keys and got the gate open only for the ambulance to bog down on the pitch. We had to get the poor bloke onto a bench and carry him to the ambulance. Then we had to push the ambulance back onto the road. All in all in must have taken about 3/4 of an hour to an hour to get off the lad off the pitch.

I've never forgotten that one.

What’s worse is that because of the cutbacks in the NHS is that 45 minutes is probably a fast response time these days!

The crack of Cissé's shin when he was running alongside McEveley still rings in my nightmares. I shuddered on the BBE when it happened, albeit I tried to rationalise it away as his shin pad at the time.

It wouldn’t be tony if he didn’t buy a midfielder he has no intention of playing

Agree with dack. Disagree with the other two. 

Armstrong from the left of the 3 is probably where he is best. Travis gets a bit more license to get up and down in the right of a 3.

Dont see where dack slots in though. I'm worried it's as a false 9

[sandstorm]

If its not Kipre, who is it then? Very much doubt it with the Bolton lad.
