Can't do anything about that goal. I don't mind if we loose and we play well. We can get something out of this!!

Bennett will start. Rothwell will be on the bench It will be another frustrating day. 3-0 Fulham.

Can't have Evans or Smallwood at CB the ball wouldn't end up out of our 18 yard box.

Honestly i think we've already replaced him. You know how it is with announcements.

Be happy with Mulgrew going.

"Aggressive enough" is the phrase in general for Mowbray. He's not aggressive enough to tell his ancient pals who are league 1 standard (Bennett, Mulgrew, Evans & Smallwood) that they arn't good enough and at best they deserve to be on the bench, even better, leave. Mowbray as a manager is not "aggressive enough" to move us forward. We need new ideas, someone with eyes open to start the talent we have and to sign some bloody defenders.

Not sure if its been mentioned but Carl Jenkinson to Forest. Would've been a decent signing.

Would love him back!

Yeap that's exactly what i think. We all know Armstrong is Mowbrays favorite also. Poor Rothwell - But hey we can get some good cash for him come January and purchase another striker to add to the wing MUHAHA

Just watching the derby & Huddersfield game. With the same defence against charlton we are going to get some hammerings this season.

Nope it went on 5 million pound striker who isn't even worth 5 million. Also that 5 million pound striker will probably be played out on the wing more than down the middle. FFS have we signed any defenders yet?

Nail on the head there. Never really been a fan on Armstong as per your explanation above. Arma will always be first choice winger for boring Tony despite his inconsistency. Rothwell is much the better player and should play ahead of him IMO. Only thing going for Arma is that he's got a few goals. Other than that he's bang average if not below.

I'm really hopeing yesterday was a wake up call for Boring Tony and the dire need of some defenders. Like most though I don't think it will change much. A hammering at Fulham is on the horizon.

Yeap. He almost looks scared of what's around him. Not strong enough.

It's crazy how much we've all looked forward to this knowing deep in our minds that our defence isn't good enough. Bowyer saying on sky sports his morning basically we were going to win and we loose. I know it's first game but this shouldnof been the easiest game of the season. We've bottled it and for someone who hasn't liked Mowbray since the start it Dosent bold well. Fulham away next...5-0?

We've just lost to a newly promotion (very poor) charlton side at home. Let that sink in. Haha F***k of Boring Tony!

LOL.

Yeap. Quality player!

Don't avoid the point I was making and saying I'm talking crap mate. The point is Rothwell should be starting. No ifs no buts!

He doesn't though. Rothwell did more than enough at the end of last season to show that he can track back and cover. It makes no sense at all.

Sigh. As we all expected, our most influential and dangerous player is on the bench. It's amazes me how, this donut in charge can't see the difference Rothwell brings to the side. There is no excuse to benching him whatsoever. He was our stand out player for the last few games. (Would of been all season if he'd started) He comes off the bench against rangers makes an instant impact. Has another great game against Bury...Now he's on the bench over Stuart Downing!?99% of the fans think he should start. Why on earth can't Tony see that. Seriously fed up now of Tony & delusion methods.

I believe travis is starting.

Come on Mowbray don't let us down. Start Rothwell, an make sure Evans & Smallwood are no where near that starting 11.

Unfortuantly you've wasted your money then.

Walton Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Travis Johnson Gallagher Dack Arma Graham Thats the team I think we will be seeing tomorrow. Really hope Rothwell is in the place of Gallagher but really cannot see it. Shame really as the lad hasn't done anything to warrant being back on the bench. Rothwell in the team above with yon man at the back and we have a team to challenge for the top 6.
