if we play a 4-5-1 it could be 1-1 a 3-5-1-1, 2-1 to us a 4-4-2 bye bye rovers so a draw will do it

Havingh had time to think about it a number of points come to mind first it was never a pen, the refs have a hard job, but that was a bad one, I do not nornal shouted at the tv, but I did this time however we were beated by two soft goals, last season we gave away goals and I had hoped that we had learnt from this, to date we have not. there first goal, the two centre halfs did not attack the ball and the fall back who had the player in front of him was ball watching and let the forward run into the six yard box unmarked to score. second goal we have two goes at cuting out the ball at thje near post both center halfs missed it, a no no in any ones book, the game as a whole we played quite well, however a 3-5-2 I thuink would suit us much better. over the last few weeks there has been a lot of talk about us needing new forwards, well in any good the team the first thing you need is a very good center half and I do mean a very good one. All the ones we have are not bad but that is not good enough, you do need at least one who can read and boss the back four, this type do not come cheap and are hard to find as newcastle will find out. Paul D I stated at time of his signing that he will come good and to date he as and I expect this to carry on. Stead played well midfield once agin we have players who can defend or attack, but not many that can do both and good teams have players can do so. A long season ahead, but we should end up mid table which will not be bad considering the money we have spent so far

I think that rovers will win 2-1 and as for stead being rated, his goals kept us up last and who set up the winner on saterday, yes its stead

having watched the hightlights on sky two main points We did not play that badly and last season we would of lost a game like that. I think we should play a 3-5-2 our players suit that type of plan and it means that at home we can attack more and away can play a more defenceive plan. all in all not bad , but more good to come ( well I hope anyway )

yorke with cole could be a very good player for rovers, its all down to if he wants to be one. I thuink that its a strong points when people are prepared to give players a new start its up to the player to take it

football isa team game and no matter how good a player might be, the team comes first. they did not see eye to eye on footballing terms, so bye bye. When AC when to the PFA them for me tis time to get rid, you have to be able to fight your owm battles and he could not or did not. In a team game when the going gets tough you need hard men around you who will stand up and be counted last season we had some who did not, and hence GS as learnt his lesson.

a number of points first the report in the LET states that Cole does not want to play for GS, well hard luck, in life we all have to work for people who we do not like, or we leave, However the club should NOT pay part of his wages, either keep him or sell, but do not go down the middle road. second if he scores as many goals amnd misses as many then its time to say good bye, a player living on passed glorys no thank you

As hard as it is when bad things happen and people over time do not move on, bitterness ( however understandble) can destory lives in the here and now. forgivesness is a hard thing to do, but as a Christian we are called to do it, as it empowers us to start a new stage of our lives. when things have happen to me ( I have tried to forgive) not for the benift of others so that I can move on. I know its easy to say and hard to do. but it does work. And as a new paper I do not buy. like or agree with the sun

one of the main points to him bringing a good signing is that he can play all along the back four and in midfield, he is also left footed and all this for free, come on folks, we may well like big star signing, but for the money thay that have spent is well done all round. And i think that he will give the back four greater deep and sterngth

once agin time will tell , but for what is worth I think its a very good signing nice one GS for £150,000 we have three very good players

just read on sky sports news that jimmey has been given a free by chelsea so how about him for rovers

its ok to stay loyal when you are on 65,000 a week, however for people who are on £5 an hour its different. But I agree its good that some players seek to stay with the club that made them

its a good buy for a number of reasons one he has play at thre highest level its a free its for two years which means that if it all goes wrong its only two years (but I do not think it will) its gives the club time to either find or bring in a younger player so nice one JW and GS

I think all in all a draw would of been a fair result, howqever we should of won. england defended very well, however attacking options were thin on the ground. I thought that france had a better balnced side and there kept the ball well. england did the same first half, but in the second there gave away the ball too quickly, all in all a bit like watching rovers good on th eye, but daft give aways goals costs us dear

taken as a whole most teams needs a least five forwards, due to the fact that players get hurt, lose form etc, so at 150k it is a very good signing. other fans and some of our own) might laugh now, but it will be us who is laughing at the end of the season when he has scored 10-15 goals, nice on GS

as other have said we could get some very good players at a very cheap rate, its good that we are waiting to see who we can get before we spend what little money we have

I know that I might be a bit think, but oif Dickov is so bad why then was eight other clubs after him

well I for one am glad that he was signed. he is a better player them poeple think and hewill score between 10-14 goals next season.

no one is saying that smith is not right to move, but for me its all that I am leeds through and though and then at the first chance he is off. yes players want to ber better earn more, but at least be honest about it, its a job and there are not fans and there have to put there familes first, like we all do, but when they start all this kissing the badge rubbishm its just a show to get the fans on there side.

words are fine, but action speak louder, the fact that he does not want to stay says it all

some people make good mangers but bad coaches GS its a good manager, but needs a good coach.

and now back to the football. Should GS go, answer NO. the one thing that any team needs when the going gets hard is to stick together, have rovers played badly answer NO. In both games they should of won and most of the fans know this. However the first thing that counts is the results, and they have been bad. I have watch the last two games and it is true that the run of the ball was not on our side. the signing that GS has made have all been good ones apart from gabbie, and the club as a whole is in a lot better shape then it was when GS came. Nevertheless fans have their own views and has such should not be shouted at for having them, we live in a fairly open society and people should feel free to air their views in a logical and fair manner. If the run of the ball does change and sometimes it does not, then all will be well if not then losing gamesw like we are doing means we could go down. by the end of the season we will be in mid table ans next season when everone has settled down then we will develop, sometimes things have to get a bit worse before there get better and I think things will get better

having had time to think, I still stand by my early points, but bear in mind that duff and cole have not played often enough, and are therefore not match sharp. The biggest area is the back four, we need to spend money on fullback/wing backs, and get a new center half. Midfield great going forward, but holding up the play when we do not have the ball is very very weak. Its back to the old question how much money is there for GS to spend and how much does he need to rise. In jan we will find out. If its not a lot then we are a middle of the road team, play well some times and play badly sometimes, all in all a top 10 team, however thsat could all change if we buy right, but will we

having watched the game on the bbc we need to make some hard decsions some which people on this MB might not like. If we keep the same team has we have now we will finish top half, GS has stated that we need 2-3 more players to push us up into a top five team so he goes. We need a tall striker up front who can hold up the ball for us, yoke and cole cannot do this. yoke first touch in this game was bad and he gave the ball away too much. we need a hartson or sutton type of players and this had ben needed for some time. All our front players all play in the same way, and whu we palyed long high ball in todays game when there had three tall center halfs I do not know. Mid field. Tugay is avery good players, but he cannot track back and has we did not have a holding midfiled player we were over run. In the second half we played three at the back and five in the middle, Keith G need to work on this crosiing for him he gets past poeple but caqnnot cross a ball, so, bye bye. Dunn a very very good player but thompson is just as good and if we want or need to raise money to buy new players then he would be the one to go ( I know that he is a very good plyer abd a local lad) but we need to strength othjer areas and this will not be cheap. We need a world class wing back and a world class center half if we are to push on to the a top three/four side. John Curris did not cut it today short and berg will be leaving next season and as such we need buy a world classcenetr half to play alongside tiny. This will not be cheap and it might mean that some players who we like and are good might have to move on. All good sides start from the back and without a good back three/four you are lost. So its time to buy in jan and let some of the other players who cannot get into the team leave even if its on a free. So there are go are we brave enough to let some players go to change the team around or are we happy to be a mid table team time will tell
