Can we have less of the first bit in bold please, Joe? Thanks.

I don't want anyone to misunderstand me, as I want nothing more than for Brereton to be a roaring success, (believe me, nobody cheered more loudly than me when he bagged against Bolton last season), but it's looking a long way off that at the moment.

How long are we supposed to wait though? Thing is, if he’s not getting in the match day squad at the moment and the money could have been used better on other areas of the pitch, it can’t really be said that it was money well spent though, can it?

Without wanting to take this off topic, he was banned (not permanently), but he isn’t now.

Interesting theory. It would hold some weight, that is, if I hadn’t permanently banned someone previously described as ‘negative’ at the weekend. Said poster sent me an angry inbox message, calling me a hypocrite, for not banning a different poster, previously described as ‘positive’. The best part about it was, that poster had actually received a ban, from me no less! I do wonder why I bother giving up my free time to this place when my such messages land in my inbox and my impartiality is questioned.

Why does everybody have to belong to a brigade? Can't we just view it as different people with different opinions? It's a shame, I thought we were past all this 'positive vs negative' nonsense.

I’d say he’s far better than Gallagher tbh.

It’s a travesty that he’s not already the best paid player at the club, as he’s certainly the best player.

That can't be up to date, as Berahino is now playing in Belgium.

We aren’t currently looking to expand the moderating team, but if that changes, I’ll keep your details on file for next time. ?

Really happy with the result yesterday (obviously). When I got the notification on LiveScore that Reading had bagged, I got the usual anxiety, but it turns out it was unnecessary. Something feels different about us this season, we certainly seem more steely and able to see games out, whereas last season we would have crumbled and drawn 2-2. Early days yet, but I’m excited to see what this team can do!

Mowbray seems to be really selective in his ruthlessness. Armstrong has been poor for ages, still stays in the team, Johnson has a poor half and is dropped....

Kool and The Gang- Hollywood Swingin’

I don’t think they do, I think they’re talking about improving things for the fans that do attend.

Not an issue with season ticket prices, they are right enough, I think. It’s the match day ones tbh.

Ronnie Jepson drinks in The Swan With Two Necks at Pendleton pretty regularly when he’s local. My Dad also played golf with him at a charity do, he wasn’t shy corroborating that he had been offered the job then it was withdrawn....

Here’s a name I hadn’t heard in a while... https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/ex-rovers-liverpool-star-given-16933414

Little Dragon- Sweet

Whilst we probably don’t need another central midfielder as a priority, I’d be really happy with this signing. The only way you improve as a squad is by buying players better than the ones you already have. This guy’s pedigree alone suggests that’s the case.

Think you’re confusing me with someone else, I’m glad it’s happened, as I said. My point is, I’m not convinced Mowbray ever intended for our first choice centre back pairing to be Lenihan and Williams. If he did, fair play, but I certainly don’t recall him mentioning it.

There is weight behind the argument that it has been a bit of a happy accident to select Williams at centre half, as he only ever really did it before at the end of last season. I'm sure Mowbray would have said that was his intention all along if it was, rather than assuring us that defenders are coming..... Let's not forget that Mulgrew started the season at centre half, before being rushed out of the door on deadline day. Either way, I'm glad he chose to select Williams there, as he's been a completely different player to the one he was out on the left.

Sky are the same. I'll be honest, I don't really care who hosts or presents programmes, as long as they're good at it. I'm a strong believer in equality, but it seems to be a box ticking exercise for some channels, rather than being something they actually want to do and it shows.

If I ever have children, they can support whoever they like.... (As long as it’s Rovers).

The two aren’t mutually exclusive....

Imagine fans having the audacity to criticise a player not pulling their weight!
