Not sure how often he plays but we'll see him in a couple of weeks when Brum come to town. I think he's scored at least one goal for them in the league.

They don't count.

Do the rules still apply on the away side getting a % of the total tickets? Is it 15%?

The Keith Gillespie Derby.

He's contributed nothing. It isn't difficult. So would I which is why I'm pleased he's seen sense and dropped Armstrong. Love, Nomark xxx

Just think how many DG would have got on Saturday if his legs hadn't gone.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/17270865.bradley-dack-on-open-and-honest-rovers-team-meeting/?ref=mac Bradley being very honest about the team's attacking deficiencies and how poor the team has been recently. His views echo what has been said on that BRFCS by those right ruddy moaners. Bradley hasn't even said in that interview what a good job Mowbray has done compared to previous managers. It's almost as if Dack thinks you don't have to say it all the time and you can criticise Mowbray. How bloody dare he. Dack is so negative?

Don't be so negative. Biz and DaveyB don't like this kind of talk. AA is an 8/10 player and is really threatening at least twice a season* *There's no end product but he does look really good bombing down the wing.

Quite a few on here Aug-Oct '17 - 'He has to change things he's so negative' Tony Mowbray Nov'17 - 'We had to change things after the Oldham away game and we did' Hope this helps.

You've failed once again to engage with what I actually said. You seem to be using this forum as a personal vendetta against that 'blueboy3333' and not actually discussing what 'that blueboy333' said. It's very disappointing. AA has contributed nothing except a fluked cross all season. hardly his fault if he is being asked to play out of position in a role he isn't suited to. Mowbray persists with this failed experiment because he thinks it works (it doesn't) and because he's left himself no option due to his failure to buy a winger. He's now having to bring back Conway. a man he has side lined for almost the last 18 months, and not only that but he's promising him a start next week too. They are the facts. It isn't difficult. Also, looking 'our most threatening attacking player' and then being dropped by Mowbray is hardly a ringing endorsement of AA or Mowbray's judgement. Hoisted by your own petard, Davey-lad. I also said on here that Mowbray fully deserved his long contract for what he has achieved since becoming manager. Is that bashing the manager? You seem confused, Davey.

Mercer earns more in a weekend at the bookies than BB earns in a year running up and down the touchline.

I'll go with that. Their fans were ace at Ewood last season (their Depeche Mode song was genius, if only our fans had the wit...) and they seem to hate us so it would be a good atmosphere. Or Stanley/PNE at home. We'll get Wimbledon.

Bradley's very good but I'm not sure there will be plays about him in 2,000 years time.

There's no parade Davey lad. The point is Mowbray's 'wide forward' experiment, that no other manager seems stupid enough to try, just doesn't work. Have you anything to add to that discussion? Please try and counter it without resorting to 'yeah, but, you never said bring Conway back'. Cheers Davey lad.

I've done the math and 37% of posts when we win are in praise of the manager. When we lose 69% of posts are critical of the manager. I've checked other forums and the %'s are very similar. It's an outrage. Who'd be a manager?

...and a Charlie Chaplin look-a-likey Charlie Chaplin SWFC manager

The fee is already agreed, that's why I said 'committed'. And we won't pay it all then anyway, like all the other clubs spending big money won't pay it all in one chunk either.

tomorrow 7.30pm on the BBC (I think).

Only if you don't include Brereton. We've committed £10m net on transfers alone if you do. Nearly every club in the bottom half of the Championship won't have spent anywhere near that. On the link you provided only 5 or 6 teams spent more than us (net) even with BB not included. With BB included only a couple spent more than us (net).

I thought Reach played wide right. He attacked down the wing quite a few times, like when he went clean through and Raya had to save.

Can't argue with that logic.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/dec/01/half-pubs-vanished-people-dont-go-out-hyndburn-lancashire Accy-based, interesting article on just that theme.

That's a cop out. The facts are Mowbray has never signed a proper winger on a permanent. He signed Chapman on loan but then never played him. Mowbray has had a policy of signing strikers, No.10's, and CM's and then playing them out wide. That policy has failed miserably this season. I can't think of another manager that does it with such poor returns. It is not up to the brilliant minds of BRFCS to pick Mogga's team for him, as you would be quick to point out. But if Conway plays so well that Mogga says straight after the match that Conway will play again at Boro next week then it makes you wonder why he hasn't played before. Afterall, he sees him in training every day. What Mogga has really done is put his hand up and admitted his experiment, which worked to a degree in L1, is not going to work against better teams in the Champ. I hope Mowbray now makes it his number 1 priority in the transfer window to buy a left footed winger to play on the left wing. Reach, who played on the right yesterday, would be the perfect choice. Conway, as good as he was, still got the ball taken off him nearly every time he tried to check back on his right foot because the full back knew what was coming. When Conway carried on down the outside of the full back he always got his cross in or won a corner. That was definitely something he did differently than in his earlier appearances this season. His intelligent use of the ball stood out against the performances of AA, Palmer and every one else Mogga has tried out there. As you point out, he was also able to offer support and cover far better than the non-specialised, ad-hoc collection of central strikers and central midfielders that have played there this season. Probably because he knows how to be a winger. Trying to be clever and re-invent the wheel with his inverted 'wide-forwards' has to stop. Imagine how much better we'd be with a proper threat out wide rather than AA losing the ball or Bell turning back all the time. Mowbray can now save face (he doesn't like admitting he's wrong) by keeping Conway there and pulling out all the stops to find a left footed left winger. His experiment has failed.

Yesterday showed why teams man-mark Dack. Give him space and he's lethal.

Agreed. A proper poachers hat-trick That's an embarrassing response.
