Makes a nice change from "he's sh**" and "he's useless" and "get rid of him" on match day. 😄 Don’t worry, there’s still 5 days ‘til the match… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked to go with my Dad who has no interest in football ..when I told my brother in law he was like "you're not bringing him to Millwall are you?" 😬🤣 I'm assuming you got sorted out with tickets then BigBar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good they were already champions. Anyone off here there that day? Yep, I was there. They didn’t take too kindly to getting beat and was quite menacing as they were on pitch heading towards us and coins being chucked in our direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have been a different story if we managed a few better results in the build up but either way I'll enjoy it.

Norbert Rassragr Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I'll miss it all because I will be at work. Bum. My prediction is that we'll be in 6th place at some time in the first half for 5 minutes, and then it will just fade away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweaty Gussets Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Why Sorba Thomas isn't starting for Blackburn Rovers as Jon Dahl Tomasson makes training claim - LancsLive Sorba not doing it in training so not getting picked.. Same as Garrett and A Wharton. You'd just train like the manager wants if you really wanted to play.

Guest Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Morton who? He's a gonner after the next match, whatever happens. I wonder who we will bring in as a replacement (from Liverpool's tender green set up)? Time to move on to next season. Jog on, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not an in the know but a guy I bumped into a couple of months ago knew one of our fringe players. He said then that Thomas’s attitude wasn’t right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Thomas clearly isn't a grafter in the mould JDT requires iv'e thought the last few times i've seen him he didn't look as fit as when he first came. Particularly against Luton, he's a good player imo but he obviously just sees himself as an attacking outlet who just wants to run forwards with the ball. The root of this of course is he's a loan player and probably knew he wouldn't be staying anyway so like others he's just mentally switched off. Seems the type who'll regularly be changing clubs in the future. Edited May 4, 2023 by tomphil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He grafted when he first came though so it looked like he was playing to earn a move here then he got dropped for tactical reasons i assume and like Giles last year hes lost interest. Agree though his attitude problems at Hudds were well documented but he came here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebruce Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Hasta said: Morton must have trained like an absolute machine. It's making me wonder if he trained so hard he was knackered in the matches! Whilst I appreciate the importance of a good training work ethic, JDT seems to imply (could be misreading between the lines) it's more important than what you do on matchday, and it simply isn't. 100% of points are won on matchday, training etc is simply preparation for that. It's possible to over prepare, and whilst my statement about Morton was glib, it's possible to train too hard (especially when the manager is picking you based primarily on training) and your body not be fully at the races on matchday as a result. That's one reason teams generally leave a rest day between training and matches, or only have a light training session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but the point was he doing ok but ended up out the team and didn't get back in other than a bit part sub although he hadn't done much wrong. He creates more in 5 mins every time he's on the pitch than Hedges does in 95 but doesn't do the graft and they are completely different players so i'd say that was maybe tactical.
