Bob Crompton. Best ever. Bar none.

I don't know a whole about him, but know he's held up as one of the greats. RIP big man.

Just to add Anelka and Lampard were also targets for Jones' tackles all game. He was a bloody menace. My Dad remarks that he was easily as good as Duncan Edwards at the same age that day.

Just thought I'd clarify for @Maphsa that Branch Road and Livesey Branch Road are different roads.

I wouldn't brag about being inbred, mate

I didn't really get into Rovers properly til I was about 10. He'll be fine.

I wonder if we'd look at flipping it so that the right fb attacks sometimes, with the left ticking in?

Favours our right wing too much imo. Need to protect the left too

A more mobile, less bulky, Jason Roberts, imo.

Can't find much about Bormuth. 57 apps in last 3 years is all I can glean from anywhere reliable. Doesn't sound like he plays that much BUT nor did our last defender signed from Germany.

Absolutely. Defence is a real concern, and I hope we're not relying on throwing our young bucks in at the deep end.

This time I'm not having a difficult time in between jobs this time I'm working full time, due to buy first house and getting married later this year. Life treating me better, I'll treat you lot better

Indeed it is ?

I concur! Ten years ago I was a pillock. Now... well... *cough* moving on...

'I think his use of light in this particular piece is stunning, darling.'

It's not "c", it's 'c'. You should put a full stop at the end too. If you're going to criticise someone, set the example pal. I also agree with his post and your follow-up.

I'm starting to think this might suit us best: Walton Nyambe Lenihan Williams Bell Travis Johnson Rothwell Dack Breo Gally Gets our best X1 onto the pitch (imo) and easy to turn into other formations without subs, or only one sub. Depends who we go on to sign off.

Well Dunny was at Burnley and Gt Harwood before us...

Opinions differ. #MessageBoard

@OssyLad Stop repeating yourself needlessly, and in a way that's trying to wind up others. It'll be sin bin again next. Make your point, substantiate it, debate freely. I'd also suggest others stop rising to it. Report instead. We're adults here. Apparently.

Been a Rover since he was 6.

Agreed. Failed to account for the fact we hired him in the first place ?

They both have a philosophy of 'good, passing football', so hopefully Johnno can drag it back out of Mowbray instead of being cautious.

Where would Buckley fit in a team that probably boasts Dack and Rothwell as among its best players in a similar position? Perhaps as a narrow rotating trio behind the striker, but ahead of midfield, that doesn't hug the touchline?
