Only West Country guy that I am aware of, playing for us is Gallagher who was born and brought up in Crediton. Cant see it being him.

Not so sure about needing the two holding mids. Luton score plenty goals, granted they concede plenty as well. I would start with the two and change it in second half.

He is determined to play the little known formation of 1, 8, 1 How many midfield players do we need?

Size has nothing to do with it. Once took my girl friends father who was destined to become father in law, poor sod, to watch Derby v Chrystal palace when Brian Clough and Bert Head where respective managers, as we happened to be near Derby at the time. Teams came out for warm up, Palace players big, sun tanned and looked like proper athletes. Derby team, small, pale and looked totally unlike athletes should. Girl friends father said Forrest are going to get murdered. Just wait said I. Game began and little Archie Gemmill, John O’Hare and Kevin Hector just ran the show. Couldn’t stop smiling at the final whistle. None of those where hardly massive stature.

So privileged to see a forward line like that. Ferguson, Douglas, Pickering, McEvoy, Harrison. RIP Mike

Excellent. I am really enjoying these views.

Realistically, he cannot leave 10 or 11 million quids worth on the bench, certainly in the championship. Even if this was the correct decision, he just can’t. In any walk of life Just imagine if it was you telling your boss, thanks for spending the money, it hasn’t worked so I am going back to what I had last year. it ain’t going to happen.

He likes narrow, that’s why one or two shots on target in 2 games has happened. With no overlapping full backs who can’t put a cross in to save their lives, I could sort out a system to defend against it. Simple.

Very true. You can change virtually anything in life, your job/career, the country you live in, your religion, your wife or partner even, but the one thing that is impossible to change is your football team.

Maybe he met Mulgrew when he was on his way out of the door and got a Glasgow kiss as a final gesture.

Rigger, I agree but I think that was a set up issue combined with terrible substitutions that took momentum away just at the time we were making progress. Tomorrow, we need to look very carefully if the team or certain players are up for it. Just my view but I am very worried.

I shall be watching this game extremely carefully as what happened yesterday with Mulgrew being booted out the door after a confrontation with TM, if reports are to be believed. I hope that TM has not lost the dressing room. If he has, it will show on the pitch tomorrow and we are in for a very long run up to Christmas.

Still unsure about BB, think that he has ability but must be played in his correct position in a system that suits him. Cannot lump it up and expect him to hold, its crap football and would not be fair to him. With Cunningham coming and assuming Mowbray plays his best players in his preferred system, we may just may get away with it because we can and do look dangerous going forward. He cannot play his favourites because they are his favourites and if there are a couple of injuries in defence, then we are thoroughly stuffed. Should either situation happen and we are struggling in October, he will be potted and Johnson will take over at least in the short term. Not a disaster in my view as I think he will have his set up of the team better I agree with you that he is definitely rattled and judging by his comments earlier, genuinely worry about his mental health, I hope his bosses, whoever they may be, are taking notice as they have a duty of care.

Who did the medical? Sunhail

Why? Officially bugger all has happened yet except for Tyler.

Nothing. It’s a bit like buying a striker when you need a defender. Solves bugger all.

Don’t worry. Paperwork being delivered by pony express. ALLRoverAsia had a premonition. He just watched the film.

Yes, along with the 2 Chinese lads, We-won One and How-long Sin

Madon, you are not the most hated man on this site. When you and maybe one or two others post, everyone sits up and takes notice. The rest of us meanwhile put our opinions and counter opinions but there are few that suddenly are taken seriously but you are one. keep on posting my friend.

If no more incomings and Lenihan gets injured, TM will be potted before Christmas as there is no adequate cover for something that is already very weak.

If we look like relegation fodder coming up to Christmas which is a real possibility with the defence we currently have, then V’s will pot him. As K-Hod stated, he has 2 days to rectify the situation

Top Ten is extremely optimistic with this defence, we will ship 69 goals+ this season because they were not good enough last season and surprise, surprise, they are not good enough this season and in my view the 3 promoted teams last year have been replaced by 3 relegated teams who are better. TM needs better defenders certainly centrally and both full back positions although the right back is probably replaceable from our own squad. If he does not do something very quickly then we can expect to take some batterings and TM can expect to be in the job centre by Christmas.

Think you maybe have a point but then you have to question this European search for players. Makes no sense unless some staff just fancy a long weekend in Italy or Spain. Nice work if you can get it?

He’s stubborn so it may be a very long season. Happy Birthday by the way.

Agree, but a bit stubborn is our Tony, me thinks.
