Connor Mahoney scored one made one for Brum

Been introduced to the delights of Chinese White Tea- delicious. I love Green Tea but have to be careful where I drink it because of the diuretic effect... Earl Grey with a tiny drop of milk from time to time is very pleasant. A good Assam is a cup of wonderful taste. Herbal teas always smell much better than they taste.. says he with a mug of Yogi lemon and ginger on his desk.

I expect to see a few signings but for me a couple of hugely commanding defenders are what we are missing. If we could have stopped conceding late goals we would be 18 points better off and in an automatic promotion slot.

Looking forwards to printing the result coming in.

Points deduction 6 March- they might avoid it because the club is not bust... https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/17441803.efl-eyes-swift-resolution-to-blackpool-points-deduction-issue/

If Bolton can win at Brum.. No idea- equal odds on a win, draw or defeat my reckoning. For 70 minutes we had this lot on toast at Ewood.

Answering a couple of points on this thread> - do the owners want us to progress to a higher level? we don't know given the lack of communication- we can assume so based on logical deduction but the whole of 2010-2017 defied logical deduction - did Mowbray sign Brereton? yes but probably within a spec which read "funds will be released for signing an English youth international level forward who won't break our wage structure."

Crete is fabulous as a place to visit.

Crete is the dodgy end of Greece and that is saying something.

I always said that after the desperately needed and desperately hard to ignite campaign to get Kean out, Rovers fans would go to the opposite extreme and get trigger happy about firing bosses. Sure I am not happy with the last four games just as I was happy about the four before. The idea of firing Mowbray now is just bonkers.

Bell, Nyambe and Travis brought energy to the team. Raya outstanding, Mulgrew unusually fragile. Every Rovers player in the first half was losing their personal battles. On that showing, Obi Mikel is an inspired signing for Boro and they are serious contenders for automatic promotion with their game in hand over the top two. Certainly showed how to close a game out when leading by a single goal. (hint, hint)

Get a grip.

Rovers second best all over the park but from 35th minute began to have some self-belief until the sending off which was excessively harsh. Rot started from three horror giveaways by Reed in first 5 and we were totally over powered for the next 30. Will be fortunate for this not to be a heavy defeat.

Do we know if Boro coming down today? Hear there is a bit of flu about.

Just as I felt we could lose at Reading, Boro are capable of losing this one...

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/15/upshot/british-irish-dialect-quiz.html Despite leaving Darwen in 1974 and living in Hull, Leeds then in and around London and now subject to Menglish, the quiz pinned me to an area between Darwen in the south and Lancaster in the north.

I saw Bell on the scoresheet and thought we had resurrected Norman!

They were on a good run unbeaten in 5 and that draw at Sunderland last night confirming they were in play off contention.

The sort of game the Manager really earns his corn to get the right picks playing the right way against desperate opposition.

Probably needed against Reading but certainly not against Boro.

Following Bristol City's comeback win over QPR last night, no excuse for not going for a win in every remaining fixture this season. For Reading, this is also close to a must win match. I would make Reading favourites tonight- far more riding on this game for them than for us.

Between Banks and Lev Yashin for the greatest keeper ever.

Very few players anywhere moved in January. I understand decisions were made to invest but Rovers weren't going to be legged over to use the vernacular.

Nobody here saw Brown or Forest and perhaps only one or two saw Eckersley. The fact they are even being considered in 2019 means they have passed the test of time to be considered legends.

Could easily lose or draw. Reading drawn a few recently. Will need to play with more conviction to secure the win.
