Wheelton Blue

That's the nub of it to me. We have two thirds of a decent side. What they do in summer will tell us everything about the 'project'.

You've been pretty adamant for months that we did the right thing by not selling Brereton, but now you're seemingly of the opinion that we should sell Wharton.

One who plays well twice a season.

I totally agree. People say that Dolan is 'developing'. Developing into what, exactly? He can't shoot, can't head, can't cross, never beats his man, is easily brushed off, constantly gives the ball away.... His redeeming feature is that he runs around a lot.

What exactly is the £2 for? It's all computerised and automated, so it's not like it's costing an employees time. I know it's only pennies to us in the grand scheme, but that's a few grand overall the club will get for doing naff all. Rip off.

It's the same old story. Do the lazy thing and fleece the ST base to hit the revenue numbers, but make no effort to increase revenue elsewhere.

I think a membership type scheme is the way forward. Pay an amount at season start to secure your seat, then pay an amount for a ticket per individual match. If you don't buy a ticket say 24 hours before KO, then your seat is freed up.

Exactly how I feel.

I very rarely watch PL matches, but for a change of scenery I decided to switch on the City/Arsenal game. Embarassing half and half scarves everywhere. What has become of the City fan base?

I had a couple sat behind me in the JWU. B*stard this, b*stard that....absolute no nowt goons. Constantly kicking our seats & verbally abusing/threatening the ST holding lad sat next to them. They got their just desserts when a steward threw them out.

I do. It's all about presenting a united front, as they would do with any signing.

They sing it like it's a badge of honour, when in reality they're playing at being the northern equivalent of Millwall, and let's be honest, no one really gives two hoots about them in the main.

He's a Pedri type player - some way to go obviously!!! - who's easy on the eye and has the natural knack of finding space and the right pass.

Arguably he's given up judging on recent performances, but he's also not a very intelligent footballer.

'JDT out' Some 'fans' are beyond clueless.

Obviously disspointing to lose to that lot again, but there was much to be positive about last night. For large periods, we had the better of the game against the division's best team. Our general play was very good, but we all know where are deficiencies are. I'm genuinely optimistic for next season, if - and it's a very big IF - the club invest smartly and Broughton does what he's paid to do. Our fans were excellent again last night, great backing. In hindsight, we perhaps should have given them the whole end - we might have actually heard them. Plenty of other sides have had far better vocal support than the Clampets. Their support remains a myth.

Come on Rovers. Let's do over this shower of sh*t for once.

5k lower isn't it? The ends hold 8k each I thought.

As I said after the PNE game, he flatters to deceive. The second half summed him up. Looked good on the eye, but when it came to the crunch, he fluffed it. He's not a winner.

Admittedly, I've got a bee in my bonnet about Dolan, but I'll despair if he starts the game.

I think Morton will be a bigger loss tonight than perhaps people may think. Not because it's Morton per se, but because we've no ready made replacement who's either got some games under his belt (Garrett), or would have to move positions (JRC). I hope he doesn't go back to 2 in the middle; we might then get rolled over.

Ability and mentality tend to go hand in hand, The better players have more of both. I don't think we've 'bottled it' though, as some are suggesting.

This season isn't down to mentality IMO. It's a lack of ability.

The time to judge Tomasson is after the next window or two. He's currently operating with two thirds of a good side, the other third being poor. Recruit well and the ball is then in his court.

To me, Hedges always flatters to deceive. He's often nice on the eye, but nothing much comes of him. We need winners; he isn't one.
