One to watch warm up at half time?

We’ll have all the bargaining power with Downing, he’ll be on nowhere near what he was on last season if we sign him. Might be alright as a backup/cheerleader a la Bennett, but shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team.

Unless they’ve realised the Greek keeper is a bit shit?

Wouldn’t say he had a bad attitude football wise, he’d just do anything and everything to win. We could do with a few more like that now, Trav is the closest we have.

Has there ever been an ‘ITK’ on this board with a worse record than JB?

They definitely aren’t though, are they? Btw we’re talking about a deal being done pending a post-deadline day medical, that doesn’t exist.

Yeah that “signed, pending a medical” thing is bs I think, I’ve never heard of it before.

Their lads are 100% Rovers fans.

What are you on about?

If you enjoy having to score 3 every game to get a draw then carry on mate.

There’s a fine line between giving a kid proper game time and relying on them too soon, Mowbray tends miss the line every time. Dolan is a kid signed for the u23s, we shouldn’t be relying on him to fill the winger position, no matter how good he looks in training.

Wish people would strop rewriting history on Cunningham, he was bang average in his few games with us - just being an upgrade on Bell doesn’t mean he’s good enough. That’s not even mentioning that he’s had an injury that most would struggle to come back from, avoid.

Sharpe wouldn’t print it without the club’s say so, so I’m surprised that the club have allowed him to print it without it being done. Could it be Mowbray sending a message to the club of a different centre half we’re in for, telling them that their centre half is not our only option?

No he hasn’t, he’s been awful. The most useless full back I’ve seen play for Rovers, can’t defend, can’t attack, runs through treacle.

Apart from the comment about Derrick being a big asset for Rovers, he’s been nothing short of dreadful since he arrived.

Doesn’t matter because a contract is a contract. Unless they had a break clause of some description, they will have had to buy themselves out of the deal. We’ll probably get a percentage of what they should have paid and the opportunity to get money from a new sponsor for the season, might not be too bad for our finances.

Narrator: Ben Whiteman signed for Derby County

Agree that he’s not brilliant, but nowadays the teams in the bottom half of the Prem aren’t that much better than the Championship imo.

Does anyone think he should still be our manager next season?

Mowbray out.

Sorry, are you suggesting Bennett isn’t slow and has positional sense?

How can Mulgrew be worse than Bennett at left back?

We would be the worst team to ever get in the top 6.
