Do me a favour!

YOU have to love football manager-speak but must take it with a very large pinch of salt.
Our coach at the Gas is an absolute expert at it - I reckon he must have had a few lessons during those famous coaching courses he went on to get his badges.
Now Paul Trollope is a very likeable guy and this is not intended as a slight on his person.
But, like estate agents, managers have to be incredibly creative when talking to the media, particularly when their fortunes have taken a pretty dismal turn for the worse. They have to do it for the fans, and also for their own players.
Tomorrow my beloved Gas travel to Brighton, a team who have taken the division by storm this season, are storming umpteen points clear, scoring goals for fun and have a high-profile manager in Gus Poyet.
Not only that but they have just signed a New Zealand international striker called Chris Wood, who we chased for a year but failed to get on board.
Meanwhile, we are down to three defenders, with Carl Regan suspended and James Tunnicliffe unable to play because parent-club Brighton have barred him as a condition of his loan.
Then we are missing our best player Will Hoskins through injury, while another striker is doubtful through injury. Actually, we only have three senior strikers as it is so that leaves us with one.
So what does Mr Trollope think of this? Obviously, he can't come out and say we are up sewage alley without any oars, but I never expected his latest assertion.
If he has a spin doctor working behind the scenes that person makes the work of Alastair Campbell pale into insignificance.
"The goals that we have conceded over the last few games means that a reshuffle and a freshen up might do us a favour," he says.
"Some of our players are capable of playing in a number of positions and we know we have to do better defensively. We have to do better - maybe a reshuffle will spark that."
Wow, really? You mean chucking a load of kids in who have had barely any game time - and when they have they've managed to lose 4-0 to the likes of Wycombe Reserves - are going to help us overturn the league leaders?
Well, I think I'll rush down the bookies now and put some money on a Rovers win then.
Don't you just love it when your manager has some aces up his sleeve?
