We don't play with wingers like we did last time he was here. He needs a good supply because he is a fantastic header. However I don't thinks he'd get it with the current tactics.

You can vote for the best title winning Keeper in the premier league era on the BBC website. Brad Friedel isn’t on it. Joe Hart is.

His player loyalty policy will be his undoing. Not sure how we can progress with that sort of thinking. Very worrying.

Apples and oranges.

Travis plays a high risk/high reward forward passing game (much like Tugay used to do - many experts on here called it tugay's imaginary friend). You can't make an omlette without breaking eggs.

I dont think so. Does Tony not learn from his mistakes? Worrying. You need DG on to close out games, not subbed for a player not remotely ready for first team football.

Does it all the time. Just glad it wasnt travis, we eouldnt have seen him picked for months

Easily rovers best player 1st half.

When Travis got sent off for a stupid challenge, Mowbray dropped him like a ton of bricks for months, which in my opinion was harsh considering he is young and was looking decent. It will be interesting to see whether he does the same with Smallwood. I think I know the answer.

You need some fight to stay in it

Good god we are as barmy as ever under Venkys. Nothing really ever changes does it.

So just to confirm, we have to hand over 7m PLUS potential add ons for Breteton? This is absolutely confirmed? Then there’s wages? It’s often said that football is a business. No businesses are run like that in the real world.

Lower half of the championship standard midfielder at best. His form has improved this season, but then it did the last time a new contract was in the offing. He then reverted to type. He doesn't strike me as a "winner" and rarely risks himself in tackles. But if lower half championship is what we want, then he's ok I suppose.

League 1 team plus reid. Nuff said.

He's up against some pretty stiff competition

I asked a legitimate question for clarification and get a bit of a snarker in response. About sums you up.

What? About the fact venkys watch us or whether it’s a done deal?

Yes, manager didn’t get everything right but credit where it’s due he got the result eh?

So you dont agree with it ?

That's what is letting us down badly at the moment. If we give it away in the middle a lot today we have no chance.

Bankrolled back to the prem by sky. I can’t believe how long It’s taking them to get back there. It isn’t a level playing field anymore. ?

Well, half a match fitness!

If williams was one of the back 3, I wonder why was he making runs up the right hand side later in the game, invariably giving the ball away? I think if we are going to change tactics mid game, we need to stick to the system. I suspect that Mowbary will have noticed this. At least I hope so.

I could have written all that myself. Thanks for the memories! Boy could Moran "hang". It's a rare gift that some players just seem to have. Defies physics!
