According to Wiki he made 10 appearances for Fortuna Dusseldorf last season, they finished 10 th in the Bundesliga

Rothwell and Buckley on for Dack and Graham. Liam Feeney on for Pool.

Anyone would think he was talking about a teenager, Rothwell is 24 and a half, he's made well over 100 first team appearances.

The bit I noticed was about Joe Rothwell being young and needs to develop, he needs to bloody well start.

Just reading that West Brom's Centre Back Hengazi has had ankle surgery and will miss the start of the season, maybe they've asked for the City lad back ? Or maybe not then.

You could be describing Tony Mowbray there Den.

I can only see us getting a battering today, Rangers 4 wins from 4 so far, goals galore too, F 19 A 0. Might not be a bad thing if we do though, concentrate the mind on getting better defenders in.

30 clean sheets in 69 games for Wigan, not too shabby. He's probably as good as we're going to get, more worried about getting defenders in myself.

Just been posted on Rovers website, Tony Mowbray says nothing is imminent, he has also said again that he thinks/hopes prices will come down closer to deadline. Nothing imminent, probably means nowt will happen for another week at least imo.

Has anyone mentioned Yakou Meite, young player at Reading, turned 23 in February, put in some excellent performances last season in a poor team. He's very quick, strong and can finish, reckon he could turn into a top player, I think he scored around 12 or 13 last season. Transfermarkt reckon he's worth £1.5 m, I think we'd have to pay quite a bit more than that though. Come on Tony, get in there lad.

Just had a look, all look to be decentish signings too.

No surprises here, let's face the facts, Preston have a very capable and ambitious young manager, who is desperate to succeed in getting them into the Premier League, or at least give it his best shot. We have Tony Mowbray, who gives me the impression that we'll be ok as long as we improve slightly on last season. The German lad probably fell asleep half way through their conversation.

Pretty poor dropping 2 points at home to that lot considering their recent away form :- Last 8 away games :- W 1 D 0 L 7 F 4 A 17

This performance won't do much for ST sales.

I thought Swansea were supposed to be rubbish away from home, could have had another there.

I was thinking 7 or 8.

He must have been down the gym. Well done lad !

Has he been knocked off the ball yet by their smallest player ?

Rovers players appear to be on the beach already.

Leeds 1 Wigan 2 And Wigan have been down to 10 men since the 14th minute.

Cardiff should have had a couple of pens when it was 1-0, Colin will be fuming.

Rothwell should have wrapped it up there, apparently.

WBA 3 PNE 0 It's all gone to pot for Preston, was AN tapped up a few weeks ago, I wonder ?

Millwall and Rotherham both winning now, could they ? could they ?
