There are many very talented players in the MLS. They are affordable and more than capable of playing in the Championship. Richie Laryea of TFC would easily start at LB for Rovers. He has speed, defends well and scores the odd goal.

RIP Stuart. As a schoolboy, played both with and against Meccy. I remember stopping by his house in Mill Hill to find him kicking a tennis ball against the stone wall on the cobblestones of their back ginnel. That’s how you mastered ball control, old school. Remember him showing us his new boots paid for by the Rovers, for whom he had just signed. He had picked them up in Manchester. We were in awe. His sister, Christine, was the last girl that I dated before leaving for Canada. We all gathered at the Lions Dance Club on Saturday evenings. A good lad, Stuart.

Pressure is definitely on now. Let’s hope that Derby feel that they have little to play for and Rovers finish them off early...?

Players with their socks pulled up over their knees...they look like they’ve mistakenly put on their wife’s nylons...?

Great result!

Unlucky!

Quote”One of the softest penalties I have seen this season. “ said the game commentator

It was offside!

Good work by the Rovers.

I must say that Brentford look very shaky defending.

He is one of the few who are being physical. Prospective.

Johnson is getting stuck in. Doing his job. DS needs to get in the game though.

Simple enough.

That’s an atrocious call by the ref.

Any suggestions on how to get tickets for England games at Euros and not pay scalpers prices?

I’m afraid that I haven’t observed much “fire in their bellies”. The motivation was to move comfortably into the top six. Instead they languish mid table. If the players are good enough then the tactics again come under scrutiny. TM seems to lack the nous to adjust them and the leadership on the pitch is sadly lacking. Rovers lack that/those player(s) that frighten defenders. Opponents are not resisted and overwhelmed in a way that Rovers are. The players and manager seem content to “keep it close” far too often. It just isn’t enough.

Maybe that will knock some sense into Gallagher

How many fouls is O’Brian allowed before a booking? That’s four for sure!

Merry Christmas

Absolutely no cohesion. It’s like Rovers think they’re just out for a practice.

Armstrong is shocking so far.

This ref is dangerous. Get the feeling that he’ll give a red for a soft challenge.

Why isn’t SG down the middle to challenge for those clearances?

I can put good crosses in when there’s no on me but someone has to be in the end of it. Needed to hold the ball to give others the chance.

Armstrong needs to look before crossing when he has so much time.
