Watched it....it wasnt seeded just North and South draws

He crossed my mind but remember Kendall got shut of him for Viv Busby

I thought the original post was applying present tactics. When under JDT have we played 4-4-2? My team would be Freidal Emerton Berg Henchoz Le Saux Sherwood Tugay Bellamy Dunn Duff Chris Brown As we are using today's tactics, the ultimate striker who couldnt score has to Chris Brown.......only kidding it has to be Alan Shearer

I used Crawford specifically because both scored the goals that fired us out if the third tier.

Can he be put in the same boat as Andy Crawford or Ken BEamish though? Just as a side thought. To me Dack was never the same player once Danny Graham started to decline. Keeping Dack makes no sense without a player like Graham. It was probably why the club was trying to get 15mill at the time of the first injury as the club could not replace Graham.

Same story, same excuses different manager. Did we not have a death spiral again, just later in the season? I agree though this summer is pivotal. We can build but if Venky's pull the rug under this management team then trouble could be ahead.

or you play Dack as a false no.9. Im no fan of this but both Mowbray and JDT have tried it before

Actually think the upturn in Buckley's form coincided with the arrival of Thomas. With Thomas playing there was an outlet ball alongside it allowing JRC to offer assistance coming into midfield from RB. Buckley seemed to benefit from this. Losing both Buckley and the seemingly loss of form from Thomas I feel has combined to cause a lot of Rovers problems since the semi

Or they don't playing the mighty blues over two legs in play offs and go for it against us and stops us now. Then they can rest their players on the last day of the season.

.......to back Burnley 3-1 with loads a wonga. Then predict its a licence to print money. That should get a Rovers win. See Penwortham I've finished your statement off

Like many have said our defence of the corner Pears should have was shocking. No one took control either that be defenders or keeper. To me Pears should have demanded a good header of the ball on the front post as all there previous corners came to that area. Once the ball comes in then in the six yard box the keeper should take control and come for the ball. If their keeper comes into contact with Pears in mid air the ref would blow for a foul and hopefully their keeper is injured. Yes I know its handball but Im afraid its another case of Rovers being bullied. Until we learn to stand up for ourselves then we will always be nearly men.

There was also Widnes Rugby League fans also in black n white going the other way at Hilton Park which were mistaken for Swansea fans. Im presuming they were on the way down to Wembley for the Challenge Cup Final.

I too remember the 4-2 game at Ewood. He was one of the few centre forwards that gave Colin Hendry the run around. I think Martin O'Neill when manager of Leicester took the edge of him. After he took over when a defender went near him he went down to win set pieces. He definitely never fulfilled his potential but was still a good forward who on his day was hard to handle.

And if the ball hadn't been lost in midfield, if the RB had closed down the break on the left, if the defence had got out and closed Doyle down quicker. It was a good shot and yes possibly a better keeper would have saved it but lets not blame him for putting out the cup. It wasn't a mistake. Kaminski was making mistakes regularly so he may have saved it but also he may have passed across his back line to a centre forward as well. Swings and roundabouts.

Kaminski was also badly out of form. Im afraid he should wait for his chance as Pears has done nothing to warrant dropping

Not if Tony Mowbray was manager. The Qashqai is the motor equivalent of Sam Gallagher.

Depends on which car they are driving?

The Micra and the bike could park on the barge

Can it get 5 of us to Birmingham and back for under £25?

I too had to watch it on tele but I knew it was going to VAR. I celebrated for 1 second before stopping fearing the worst.. On the other hand for the winner I was hoping for VAR to come to the rescue

Speaking of Tevez, Im surprised no one has mentioned the West Ham game where the Premiership did everything possible to stop them going down.

No there was no flag....they werent allowed in the ground

Oddly you mention the league cup semi at Wednesday but the quarter final replay at Sheff Utd in the same week sticks in my throat more than that. It hurts just as much as this weekend's episode.

We did. The rumours were going round that North End were winning.

Actually my £1.00 e/w on it returned me £3.25.
