This has been abysmal tbh. I can never understand the logic in giving so much game time to players not going to the tournament.

You say this, but then you’re on at the lad with every post he makes yourself!

Michael Vaughan had a point (for a change). Saying the ECB are at least a bit responsible for this. Why, oh why, do people not clean up their social media accounts before they start getting famous? Or, why do people not go through them and then alert the user?

Well, that’s the decision I’ve made. You don’t have to like it. Yep, acknowledged, definitely shouldn’t have gotten involved too.

Because I cba with people arguing about taking the knee. For whatever reason it’s really divisive, so best just to leave it out, I’d say.

Well no, but Bradley Orr used to play for us (as much as I’d be happy to forget that he did), so I reckon it’s fair enough in here....

Saw that earlier. Hope it survives this time, if I’m honest. The Aspinall Arms’ re-fit absolutely finished it! Mitton Hall is one on its own, so was never in danger really....

It’s been discussed in another thread already. Not sure ICBINF would be the right place for it tbh.

Sorry, that’s who I meant!

Sorry, just been corrected- Amer Mushtaq doesn’t work for the LT!

I might be wrong, but I think he works for the LT. In the meeting I attended (before the most recent one), he asked about doing it when the Brockhall thing was being discussed, rather than saying ‘we need to move our training ground within the limits of BWD’.

I don’t think it’s ‘moaning’ to query the selection of four right backs. When has that happened before? It was bound to be a talking point....

So did a few people tbh. Looks like barring a miracle, that won’t be happening sadly.

Thought Chelsea were outstanding defensively. As others have rightly observed, Tuchel kept it simple and Guardiola over complicated it and has reaped the benefits.... (Sound familiar?)

That’s quality. A lad from Ossy that supports Rovers too! Good man.

It seems like we have gone back to calling people out for saying something which hasn’t transpired, then people biting back, indicating they know something we don’t. Can we not do that please? As stated before, the information was posted in good faith, by a number of posters, so, at that time, there may have been something in it. Who knows what may have happened since, but either Venky’s are waiting for something else to happen before they pull the trigger, or they’ve changed their mind. With them, pretty much anything goes, so it’s probably not worth getting worked up about rumour and hearsay until anything actually happens....

Nah, I really rate Grealish tbh. If he were to play, I’d want him centrally over Mount. Though to be fair to Mount, I think his recent form and Grealish’s lack of activity makes him the man to pick tbh!

I don’t imagine Southgate would ever be ballsy enough not to play both Rice and Henderson all the time, but for me, this would be our strongest XI. There would certainly be a case for Rice for Mount and James for TAA against the better sides, I’ll give you that.... Pickford TAA Stones Maguire Shaw Henderson Mount Foden Sancho Kane Sterling

I don’t get this argument at all. Sterling has consistently scored more goals than Rashford until this season. Even then, Rashford has a whopping one goal more than Sterling in the league (from seven more appearances)....

‘Same old arguments, same old boring football tactics, bla bla bla’. Surely you don’t think that’s a polite way to address people?

Only ambition I’ve got is for Rovers to get promoted. If that involves functional (what you’ve called boring) football, then so be it. Beats watching us pass it around aimlessly and have about two shots in a game.... (P.S- final time I’ll recommend you locating your nearest charm school and graduating from it).

What’s wrong with managers that have better track records than the guy in the hot seat who’s underachieved so much?

He advised that he was ‘done with the site’ forever, so I wouldn’t expect to see him back here any time soon....

Ben Brereton>Ivan Zamarano

Not saying the fella hasn’t put some graft into that report, but at the very beginning, he admits that we have regressed with our league position. Could probably have finished it there tbh....
