Of course there his own ratings, I know hes trying to wind you fC fans up, but come on, even he can't believe his own scores.
Rather than go to all that effort with those scores he could have just asked how many FC players would get in the Rovers line up or vice verse

One, Ese Ese, that's it, can't remember a bigger gap between the two sides.

Ignore the Rovers troll he will soon go away.

He is here to wind up and play dumb (which they are good at). Got them on ignore.

Was it ever announced how long Walker would be out for.

Four weeks plus so he'll miss the next two at least. Maybe back for Saints away, we have a weekend off before that because of the Cup.

I'd say the gap between the two is the largest it's been since 2004, twenty years ago.
Of course, then, rovers were nothing more than a very average second-tier side, so we weren't facing each other anyway. Think if we had been drawn together in the cup that year we could possibly have put 90 pts on them! (we were absolutely flying at times that year).

Unfortunately Friday looks the polar opposite. This looks like decent-level SL side at home against championship-standard opponents, well not far off. I fear the worst, I really do.

Have we ever conceded 50 points or more in three consecutive games ?

Judgement day for Franklin, yes of course they will wind him up & give him some cheap shots - the fans will bait him constantly.

So he either grows up & lasts the game OR he succumbs & shows to all & sundry he can't cut it as a professional RL player. Fingers crossed from me because he clearly has the makings of a player but unless he can switch his brain on.....................

Last year you beat us at CP after a 0-40 walloping at your place. So any win for Rovers will do for me.

This year does feel different though. Rovers have gone from strength to strength but you have lost your best players and pretty much replaced them with bargain bucket hopefuls.

I'm sure you will get up for the game and you will certainly have to.
