My thoughts too

Apologies, I meant to say 4am but I’m intrigued by your late night meals with the PM did he have a daal?

In the 3CR interview, he sounded like he was a bit fed up of being asked the same question about Kone and just got it out the way quickly. Fair enough. I like him in general, and I hope the people writing him off at the weekend have reflected on how silly a snap judgment that was.

I have now listened to the interview on the site and have to say, he seemed to have measured thoughtful responses to Phil's questions. I don't find him to be any more stumbling or media untrained than anyone else I've heard. To be honest, he seemed to be a man in control.

Agree that Dodds provides more transparent and considered responses on the squad situation than we've been used to under Ainsworth and Bloomfield. Maybe it will be media coached out of him, but its nice to know which players are unlikely to be available or selected and why.

Fred on his day is unplayable...but not on his day and Udoh or Lubala offer more in my opinion.

The problem is...we never know if it's Fred's day or not until about 60 minutes in.

The Rovers forum is great entertainment tbf. It has been for years

In one start, Simons now has almost exactly as many MOTM votes for the season as Leahy and Lubala (30 starts) combined. That is some way to come out of the gate!

I have reached a point where I don't bother with player or manager interviews. Apart from the odd (probably inaccurate) insight into the sort of person they may possibly be...often the content neither informs nor illuminates.

Pope Francis appears to be very ill.

Which means a Lowry hattrick next Saturday.
