Maybe they've already had the discussion with seymour and he's agreed to a move

True Jake,but I have to agree with Nick,it can`t be a morale booster having your boss slating you in public.

That's the conclusion I've drawn from it. Pearson wouldn't make such a big thing about signing two half backs if he wasn't certain he had the space in the squad.
The interesting thing for me is if Seymour goes home, or is he part of any swap deal?.

I agree with that. Pearson is passionate about FC, & it looked like his frustration got the better of him. At least his passion will hopefully take the club to where we want it to be.
It will be interesting to see what sort of reaction we get tomorrow from certain players.

It's one year today since we said goodbye to Hetherington and hello to our new owner.

I do think we'll see the effect of pearson's comments tomorrow night. Unfortunately I think it will be a negative and we will get seriously battered and probably looking at 40 points against us at least.

Is this a Sunday morning feeling Jake ?

I see only 8 points either way

You reckon? one win in 8 games, coming off the back of a big loss in France with a serious injury list added to 3 palyers gone from our original roster. Potentially foster and turner as a centre/wing partnership. Add in the public criticism of the squad by our owner plus the fact plenty of them won't be here next season.

rovers, on the other hand, have had a week off, have 4 players returning from injury and have more motivation than us. THey've lost some games recently but only by fairly small margins and have been in much better form than us

Can't see anything other than an easy rovers win. Hope I'm wrong but I rarely am

Rovers are SH*t - I base all my derby predictions on that basis , rarely am I wrong

Problem is recently we have been consistently sh***ter.

When was the last time they beat us by more than 10 points ? can't be d to look or remember

He doesn't actually have to improve. All he has to do is deliver what he's already shown he's capable of more consistently and you've got an England international player there.
