TAA pulls a hamstring after all the debate. I'd guess lingard or ward-prows will replace him. very dull game

Surely not. that would be utterly pointless! Said it before the only thing holding this England side back is the man in charge.

Southgate loves a defender. Half the squad defenders. Whilst they all had a case to be picked why on earth pick 4 right backs? madness. Just needs an injury to one CM or CF and we're lob sided for the tournament. I'd have taken Ward Prowse for his free kicks and corners. Got a bad feeling were going to see a 5 at the back formation despite our attacking talent.

In the LET sounds like Douglas is fishing for another deal here after being released from Leeds. That would really sum up the club atm if he came back. he was utter garbage and is extremely lazy and unadventurous transfer policy. Bore off.

There are a lot of defenders picked in that squad. I'm hoping that's not an indication Southgate is going to revert back to a cautious 5 at the back. Its one of the most talented attacking pool of England players I've seen. To go cautious and play 5 at the back would be a huge waste of talent. Id also pick TAA every day of the week over the other full backs if hes fit. Very difficult to pick a front line as each player has a strong case to start. Good problem to have providing Southgate doesn't bottle it. My line up (if all are deemed fully fit): Henderson TAA Stones McGuire Shaw Henderson Rice Sancho Foden Sterling Kane Id even play mount as a CM against weaker oppositon.

Id forgotten Ayala still played (is contracted to!) us. Good value there.

He will be sacked long before TM.

Watching the fans of the greedy 6 protesting outside the ground with banners....can rovers fans do similar over Mowbray? I'd say Venkys but we're so in debt they could literally liquidate us 😞

I think if Fifa actually go through with this, there would be a player revolt. Harry Kane and co will not want to miss a world cup or Euros. I cant see Rashford after campaigning for free kids meals, being happy to play in a closed league for the enjoyment of foreign billionaires. Whilst wages are astronomical, most players came from working class background and I still think (hope) they have the conscience to know this is very wrong.

Really hope I wake up tomorrow to see Man U, City, Liverpool, Arsenal Chelsea and Spurs have been docked all points this season or even banned from league competition.

That sounds shit. A 1 league closed competition. Either I'm miss reading your posts or you're all up for a billionaires show comp that rovers would never have chance to be a part of. No thanks. Why are you on a Rovers message board if you're excited about Watching Arsenal play Man U for the 8th time a season? Strange.

This coupled with the abomination that is VAR, ridiculous rules no one understands, massive wages, owners who don't even watch the games and just buy clubs as a toy thing.....games dead. I'd rather watch my local league 2 side. At least they are part of the community. I'd love Uefa to allow it, then ban all players involved from international and existing domestic competitions.

Fuck me. Theres nothing you can really say to that is there..

Weren't we linked to Marcus Maddison a couple of years ago. He's come out and said he doesn't enjoy the game and is considering retiring. https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/no-charlton-athletic-return-for-marcus-maddison-as-he-considers-walking-away-from-football/

Erm...how far off the drop are we? Genuinely worried we'll be in L1 next year with the same dinosaur in charge, minus half the squad. Cant see us winning any games between now and season end.

Almost spat my drink out reading some of the comments in that last interview. Just shows how he knows he is immune and can basically take the piss. Reg Waggot: “I talk about the games to them, what they saw, they don’t like to lose as I don’t like to lose, but they see the team performing at a level. “If you were in their position you’d be doing the same, or may be you wouldn’t. Maybe you’d be a results orientated owner who, ‘lose three on the bounce, sack him and get the next one in’ but then you might have four, five, six managers a season if that was the case. WTF. What fucking level? A bottom of the table form level for the past 4 months? Fucking best mates bleeding the club dry. So arrogant its unreal. They are both in the same bracket as Kean for me now. think we genuinely need a protest outside the ground to get some press.

Same

Another day passes by with the immune Mowbray leading us into another game. The silence from the clubs board and CEO is astonishing. The only person we ever hear is from Mowbray himself....talking up what a good job hes doing. Cant believe the club is paying Waggot a wage. Literally does nothing.

The club is in a fucking mess. A hopeless manager who has his mates as the board, terrible form, and a squad who are mostly out of contract in the summer. Those remaining are a bunch or crocs Apart from a relegation it's hard to see how it could be much worse

He'd be played on the wing with Dolan as target man

Southgate a very limited manager. How has he not made a sub after a tepid second half and 80 mins gone.... England are like Rovers. Talented group with a limited Mowbray esque manager

Bellingham looks a good player for just 17. Pretty sure I'd have a shot of being an international if I was from San Marino.

Not sure why Lingard has been recalled. Shown nothing for 2 or 3 years apart from the last month. In my opinion there are better younger players that should be well ahead of him. He's a bit like Mowbrays Bennett and Evans. I'm assuming that they are using the game to test some players against a weak opposition, because its no where near the strongest team available

Expecting a routine 2-0 win for Norwich, while Mowbray serenely carries on to the next game. Not a clue of the lineup and I doubt TM does either. Cant see Johnson and Holtby playing midweek and weekend. Unfortunately i can see a return of evans.

Genuinely think we could go down and he'd still be here. Back to the dark days where agents and mates run the club. Any owners paying any attention would be making a change
