Trains are on strike as well.

didn't Hart play last night for the U23s

If you lose that one, you adapt your tactics to suit the resources that you do have, (the managers job).

there's nothing like a moist bit of ginger.

You have to be a certain age

Personally of your list of out of contract players, I would only be worried about 5 of them. Mulgrew, Evans, Graham, Rodwell and Reed, the last two are only there on potential

You asked for an opinion of the signings. I consider signing new contracts, as signings.

Smallwood has put Smallwoods place in jeopardy

Palmer, Rothwell, Armstrong , Dack , Lenihan, Reed .

I'd be surprised if Brentford finish top 10

How are ticket sales going?

I hope to god it was a brew. Or the way to the exit.

I went to see Man U, once in 1974, I knew I was wrong the next day .

Personally I think it would be better if there was no music at full time . Let the fans show their appreciation for the team and let the team enjoy it.

I was dithering about whether to go to Bristol, but after today I have no doubt, onwards and upwards

there isn't a column for threatening keepers, the main one is goals for and against. Rayas job is to stop goals, this he did. It's no more than I would expect.

True we only won 1-0 what a blow. There is no way to say whether the widow has been good or bad until there are results on the board. So far I would say it's been good.

So we where two-nil down against Reading, we used our subs bench and we drew two-two.

I can't see where all the gloom and doom is coming from, we are 5 games in, unbeaten, and playing for the majority of them some decent football. I am looking forward as I always do to watching the Rovers today.

I like that side

Slightly off at a tangent here, but to let you know when you play us in September the trains from Preston to Blackburn are being run on a very limited service due to industrial action.

This is just an opinion on your points I am not saying who is right or wrong or even if there is a right or wrong. Players have been brought in. Every team is always light. With those two out it's lucky that is an area we have cover. Negotiations don't always go your way. The only deal that I would want to get over the line, is a good deal. The hold up, usually in any deal, is reaching the compromise both parties can agree to.

Who does Noone play for

I take by your comment that you are not unhappy about signings, but the fact that someone said something that didn't happen. So what they should say is, we are going to sign nobody, then you are happy.

my only criticism of Bells performance is that when attacking he doesn't take the fullback on the outside enough.
