Thanks for the review Tony.

We've already got Nyambe, Reed, Bennett and Travis who can play right back.

Definitely. I liked the lad a lot but his style of play pointed to a succession of muscle injuries

Brunt's another Whittingham for me. He's been a good player but his legs have gone.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in January regarding Reed. We'll know we mean business if a serious bid is made.

I see the Whelan family have handed the reins over to the new owners at Wigan today.

Correct.

I remember seeing him make his debut for Rovers and he really looked the part. A very skilful, clever player who was Bryan Douglas's understudy that day. He was about 5 ft 7 ins tall but about 9 stone wet through and he never really developed physically. Such a shame because he had plenty of ability.

My next door neighbour had that early in the year. he was out of hospital in a few days and out cleaning his car on the drive within a week !

We got lucky moving Fred from left back to centre forward. We were stuck for a striker in the reserves because of injuries and he offered to have a go, the rest was history. He'd have ended up at somewhere like Rochdale with Dave Wells if he'd have stayed at left back. The least said about Joe Haverty the better.

If we're still well placed when the window opens after Xmas will we be in for another striker ?

There's a lot of if's in that.

" Lowe challenging " ! He must have been calling the other guy names. Classic photo.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Jason Lowe captain England U-20's ? Enough said.

When Pogba was there as a lad nobody at UTD was too bent out of shape about his performances and expectations were quite low. When he comes back to the club with a massive price on his head they are concerned and expectations are high. That's football.

And we were still robbed !

I'll have a bet now he keeps them in the league.

You want to tell that to the UTD fans who are less than impressed with Pogba. Of course the £90 million fee will have nothing to do with that either. Do you really believe what you post ?

I had that once in a Quiz league I was in. I'd have never guessed it was West Brom.

It'll be interesting to see how he plays on Saturday. Shop window ?

Yeah Jim was good. A very calm and unshowy goalkeeper who was very consistent. He made that job look simple.

Not by me renrag. Even so that's not as great as it sounds. Eddie Hopkinson and Alan Hodgkinson, Tony Waiters all had caps at that time as well as Banks and Springett, Gordon West and Peter Bonnetti were coming through and got caps slightly later. Lots of other Div 1 teams had Welsh, Irish and Scots goal keepers. I didn't think he was big enough and I lost count of the times the ball ended up in the back of our net and I was stood there thinking " How did that get in there ? " A bit like Robbo in his last season with us.

Well how many times have we been in a similar situation.

I keep telling you I'm not a pro scout. However are you seriously telling me that there isn't another player in the whole of Europe that can't play a similar role for £7 million ?

The trouble is he's treading water at Rovers whilst we desperately needed a back up for Graham. We live in the present not two years in the future.
