Well blow me down. The things that can happen when you don’t take short corners, eh?

Might be me misremembering, but I swear he’s regressed. He’d be lucky to get a game for Renford Rejects on this form.

When did Trav turn into a pound shop Keith Andrews?

Think I’ve got some Coyle-era mint imperials somewhere. Any interest? Make me an offer on them. I don’t like them but the shop didn’t have any humbugs.

But that means if we get four corners on Saturday and another four on a Wednesday night our set-piece takers would be paying the club.

Can’t remember how much I paid for them and they’ve melted together a few times since, but with inflation lately we’ve gotta be talking at least £3, right?

I’m just gonna live blog re-runs of the 2000/01 season instead of putting myself through another year of disappointment. Can’t wait for the first home game against Palace on Aug 12. Should be a good year.

More chance of me managing to sell the quarter of chocolate raisins that have been in my glovebox since Michael Appleton was manager.

What is a Lewis Travis and what is it for?

If they’ve offered him more than £30k a week Villarreal will probably be on the phone to their lawyers right now asking how binding a pre-contract agreement really is.

I’m honestly feeling nostalgic about Egil Østenstadt and Nathan Blake at this point.

The 2013 Jordan Rhodes would have looked like Erling Haaland in this team.

Quite a few games this season we seem to react really badly to teams getting physical with us. Hull was a prime example and we’ve sort of done it again tonight. We’ll be on top of a game and suddenly the opposition puts in a few strong challenges, it gets a bit chippy and when the game settles down again we somehow end up on the back foot.

It was tongue in cheek. Wharton has a very long way to go before he’s half the player Tugay was, let alone turning out for PSG.

Probably hoping we send Wharton back to them instead of Morton. 🤣 State of their midfield this year Wharton would be starting for them in August. But if Morton’s turning out at Anfield every week they’ll be lucky to make the Europa Conference League.

I think they made the “character” comment when he was winding up JRC actually. But all the same, if he likes diving and general shithousery someone should introduce him to Diouf.

Tugay didn’t didn’t even peak until he was about 34. Imagine how good Wharton will be in 15 years. Probably at Bayern or PSG, though.

But apparently the Sky boys think he’s brilliant for it. 🙄 Not sure if that’s because they hate us or because they’ve been rimming Burnley all year.

Just in case you were wondering if Ashley Barnes is still a tw@

Random one: is there a team that is worse at throw-ins than Rovers? Always seems to take an age to decide what to do and then give it away.

I think this is about the time I’d decide I was “injured” too

50/50 challenges that we invited by trying to pass out of our own penalty area

Really? I haven’t been so confident a Rovers striker wouldn’t score since Grabbi. I’d rather have Egil Østenstadt back than watch this lad.

On tonight's evidence he doesn't have any ability to do anything useful at all. Even closing down, purely an effort thing, he sort of sets of lumbering as if it is some hardship and gets there just in time to turn around and walk away as they pass it around him. He'll find his level in League 2 eventually.

Yeah, didn't like O'Shea getting booed for rolling around like he'd been crippled then just standing up and walking away. Yet in the first half they were hoping BBD was injured. Nice fellas.
