That's disappointing news, but please keep it quiet and don't let the FM dude know as it will change in the game. I love FM and have been playing since the Amiga, getting rovers promoted is child's play, but once up Jones is always one of my no. 1 targets. Him supporting rovers means he will talk and I can get a 150 ca CB, who is home grown for the UEFA Cup. 

I'm sure he will still claim to be a Rovers fan if pressed. But his past comments dispel that possibility for me.

Can't have been easy to be a rover and witness the destruction of your club from within. We all say things we regret, but we also need to remember they are just words.

Defender's are coming. 

And bloody hell do we need one, kipre on loan if poss, will do. 

Dack, Travis and a strong CB and we have the makings of a good team on paper, whether TM can transfer that to the pitch, is another question.

You don't know which comments I'm referring to do you? They have nothing to do with the state of Rovers at the time.

Do you have a link or can you provide further information so I can find them, I am curious to read what he said now.

Tony off to beg for money for a CB. With only 2 fit CB's, and one of them being made of glass, we really are fooked. At least Tony gave Stewy a contract though. That's nice.

I had a go at finding the comments but they're probably buried under all his Manure days stuff. Basically after we beat them during a relegation struggle where we badly needed points, by one goal I think, he described it as the worst moment of his professional career. Even though he was part of the team that got humped 7-1 by Manure. Fan? Feck off.

That is just awesome 

[RoverCanada]

Reading today that Bournemouth may be pretty keen to offload King in January before his contract expires. He's only made 6 appearances so far this year (3+3) and he's still agitating for a move.

Maybe won't get the £5m we could've hoped for last January (£25m x 20%) or the £2.6m possible from the West Ham offer of £13m in the summer, but maybe they'll still get £5m...? So £1m for us.

That plus maybe Trybull heading back to Norwich (as speculated given his omission from today's squad)... and there's your budget for a CB loan?

We need a budget for sacking Mowbray and other fools..

Fair play Bruce, he should consider what he has said. 

Big Sam is now at WBA, maybe he'd give us kipre?

Yes, must have missed that one.

They really do give Mowbray a free pass at the LT.

"Ressurect any lingering hopes of making the play offs" is more accurate.

I think with Big Sam going there he's more likely to hold on to him to be honest. They'll have a lot of defending to do before the end of the season.

Quote from Sam Johnstone after yesterdays draw at Anfield. -

"Everyone knows what the manager is like. He has come in and changed things very quickly and the lads are reacting to it. We dug in deep, we ran for 94 minutes, it was tough at times but it was a great point away from home. It feels more like a win "

What I wouldn't give for a Rovers team that runs for 90 odd minutes.

That effort reduced Liverpool to two attempts on goal in the whole game.

You've got one to be fair. They just aren't managed very well.

There's " running " and "RUNNING " mate. I know the difference when I see it.

We need somebody to stand up in the middle of that defence. The cock-up between them which led to the Wednesday goal was laughable. You'd think they had never met.

Or lost the power of speech. All it needed was a shout. What Douglas was doing there is a mystery. That's the second goal we've conceded when he's turned his back on the ball.

[Mattyblue]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Trybull goes back (if possible within the loan agreement), he showed a bit of dissent towards Mowbray when taken off at Stoke, and TM has questioned his training ground efforts... he missed Boxing Day for ‘personal reasons’ according to Sharpe.

What was the reason for being subbed when having a good game against Stoke ?

I wouldn't say he was having a good game. It was just a slight improvement on his last well below par appearance.

In comparison to some of the others he was having a good game. In my opinion.
