Will he be playing today?

He has an above average kicking game at this level, we should try to stop him kicking the ball today whenever possible.

I'm pretty sure that the players and coach are aware of his kicking ability. But there is a difference between knowing about it and actually doing something about it.

However this is not exactly breaking news!!!!

I think we would be better to concentrate on exposing Rooney in defence as he is very weak in the tackle.

Yes, he is playing today.

Every now and again he would pop out of Brannigans pocket.

we did a great job on him today, kept him quite, he looked lost for ideas towards the end.

Thought Barrow looked predictable in attack today, thats McCormack for you.

Perhaps O'conner will ask The Chairman for another job lot of players

£8000 for what rooney did yesterday, Glad its not me paying him

Thats quite reasonable...

Thought he was going to go on and boss the game after he pulled that 40-20 from nowhere, but he went missing after that. Shame really as he's another you can put on the ever-growing 'unfulfilled potential' list.

I really expected plenty of high balls in the second half, after they looked a bit out ideas towards the end of the first, but they never came. I'm not sure if we kept him quiet or that wasn't in the gameplan?

Get a grip fella !!

Rooney's been carrying a knock for a few weeks now, as have several players. With that in mind and James, Blackwood, Coyle, Ostler, Henderson and Nixon all missing, Sunday's result wasn't a great surprise really. And as you know well enough, it's not how you start - it's how you finish that matters.

As for the dig at McCormack, we've just had an 8 match unbeaten run including an away win at The Jungle (the first Championship club to win away against a SL club since 1997).

Enjoy that winning feeling while it lasts

They had a really strong wind with them in the 1st half. It had died down for us in the 2nd.
