Careful, remember when Mowbray thought we were ok for centre backs and let the back up man go because he felt sorry for him.......

Failure to prepare.

Which time ? It happened more than once.

Fun fact . Steve Bruce has written three crime novels. I suggest if anyone likes a laugh to find them and give them a read. Unintended comedy gold 😂

 

Not sure if you ever listen to Quickly Kevin, but there's some doubt that he actually wrote them. Some whispers that the just put his name to them to get more publicity. I choose to believe the legend though. 

 

On a similar vein, was there any talk at the time that Matt Jansen laid down a couple of tracks on an album in 2002, alongside Ron Atkinson, Ally McCoist and Frank Sinclair, amongst others. Strange days.

I didn't realise Ayala was injured, oh wait a minute, he isn't. So I don't see the desperation for another center-half signing, by next Wednesday.

He has been injured in the warm-up before now!

With it happening before, means the odds are longer that the same will happen to him again.

I’m unusually confident about this. We’re good enough to get a draw. Wallace v Pickering and Swift v Travis crucial areas of the game.

I would say BBD vs Furlong is a crucial area but we got to play on the front foot and play our game with the ball

Back down to earth with this one I think.

Rovers 0 WBA 2

Certainly would have taken 6 points from the first 3 though. Think we desperately need a centre half before Wednesday.

I don't get or understand this sort of mentality tbh. Haven't won their first 2 league games and lack of strikers they have. We have won our 2 league games and played well in both.

I don't know if this has been posted already on here but...

There's a double page article on Jon Dahl Tomasson - I refuse to abbreviate - in today's The Times. (Behind paywall.)

Something's happnin, fellas...

Someone sound has copied and pasted it into another thread, if you wanted a butcher’s?

[RoverInverness]

As you very quickly point out to anyone "it's my opinion".

I don't have to think that Rovers will win every game for the rest of eternity because we have made a great start.

The championship has form for upsetting you when you least expect it, and I expect tomorrow to he one of those days.

What for, to sit on the bench ?

Absolutely. Be suprised if Ayala makes it through 2 games this week. I'd rather not throw Phillips into a championship game just get as it can be relentless. I'm baffled that folk can't see that we need a centre half as a matter of urgency.

I know its your opinion. Yes the Championship can be like that granted but given that WBA will play Robinson up front and Grant is injured and Davis decided to join Watford not them. 

Also don't rate Bruce either as manager

Honestly I think it's just the club being open to easy PR (and still having some name recognition despite the last decade) and JDT being an interesting appointment (and apparently quite approachable). 

Borderline world class player during his career, involved with that excellent Danish international side as a coach and obviously won the league twice at Malmo. It's a far better story than say Appleton being appointed at Blackpool.

I totally don’t remember this! I don’t remember any talk of it on here, but could be mistaken. I surely would have bought it, if I’d known about it 😂 Can’t find it on Apple Music 😔

Mentality? You sound like Martin Russell. Guy gave his prediction - nothing to do with mentality.

If west brom are without a senior striker then I feel we could steal a win here

I don't think it is that people don't see a need for cover at center-half, it is just the urgency that is being called into question.

Would love to if was closer but in Devon,  only see live rarely. 

[yankfan]

Has to be:

 

             Kamenski 

Britain Ayala Wharton Pickering

         Travis.       Buckley 

Gallagher.   Hedges.       BBD

                    Szomdics 

 

Side has looked good so far, so naturally expect a 3-1 loss

[Mum63]

Anyone any idea if my daughter will be able to buy to watch match in Spain as she’s there on holiday so missing to match

Looking forward to a loud and proud rendition from AC DC pre match, makes it so much better and you cant beat a beat of THUNDERSTRUCK at a very loud level!

They played it at Swansea last Saturday too but the volume didn't match ours.
