Swanson likelihood or just made up rumours?

Yesterday if anything proved that Buckley is never a right back. I have not got a clue why he didnt play young Pike instead?

Mowbray just got it so very wrong again

Unless we've offered a curly wurly and a packet of love hearts I doubt very much we've offered any money for a player.

Pretty sure Mowbray said we wouldn't be making any permanent additions in this window, only a loan from a premium club, perhaps 2.

No idea, but short of rumours these days so I thought i'd just post it.

Not convinced this is a reliable source, just make shit up. Plus I'm pretty sure Mowbray said we have no funds to buy. Unless the owners have changed there mind or there is a loan to buy in the next window deal, if that's permitted. Or maybe they know money is coming in from a sale.

Will go to Stoke. Why move when you don’t have too?

I'd take that Brighton keeper who played last night as backup rather than Pears to be honest...

Get this when things are tight money wise Rovers and Mowbray released Fisher after the Leicester pre season game only for him to rejoin MK Dons and become MoTM twice in amongst some very good displays. 
 

We then spent 300k and associated wages on two other keepers 🤦🏼‍♂️

You mean Balcombe at Brentford on loan to Doncaster. Thought he was immense against us, strong keeper.

[neophox]

Carter scoring the winner in league one in a tough game against Gillingham away keeping a clean sheet. Mowbray must be fuming now.

[neophox]

Yaya Touré at Brockhall...snap him up at centre half... 37 years old.

People need to chill out about Balcombe. He made a decent double save but other than that his kicking was awful and he had nothing else to do.

Other teams' players will always look good when you play as awful as we did

He was.

Doesn't mean he is as good as people are making out. Frankly I wouldn't want him.

But can he defend ? Amari Bell had a similar write-up when we bought him.

Doesn't matter, he's on the t'internet so must be brilliant

I wonder did Yaya bring his boots? I would imagine he could do a job at centre half. I'm actually deadly serious

For me he could do a job as manager and player.

Only 37. I would have thought he was older
