Get some strikers and centre halves on the pitch?

We'll destroy them if they have a five-a-side at half time

Well go on then. Enlighten me again. Or at least give me the post number to look at.

I don't think any of you have but I may have missed it. I've certainly not.shot anyone down for it. Therefore, incase I have missed something you all posted that answers the question, I'll ask again. On what we have seen so far on the pitch, why does it look a good bit of business?

And so far, it doesn't look like that has been a good bit of work by them. Thats all we're saying. I don't get why that is even a controveral or polarised opinion.

Right on what exactly? That nobody else's opinion can be right if it contradicts Mowbray comments which is what you have replied to? I've not really followed why your annoyed with other posters on this thread. You normally just post your opinion well and then just move on so I'm not sure what's going on. However leave the trolling posts like this one to others please.

Agree with both your posts. Next season Brereton could be a star but I very much doubt it will be wide right. It's the decision to play him where he looks poor, and where we have other options, that is baffling. In the last couple of games Armstrong has done really well to get into a good crossing position only to turn back on his right foot. He'd be more effective on the right IMO but then somebody else is going to have the same problem on the left, unless they are 2-footed

Your first line is irrelevant to the discussion we are having. The second line is fine if it is in reply to "Was Mulgrew injured last night", but when Roversfan99 gives an opinion that if we are to use Brereton out wide that we should have signed a winger instead, posting Mowbray in reply is irrelevant. Mowbray is never going to say "Actually I wish we'd singed a winger instead."

People post opinions and instead of you posting your opinion, you just post what Mowbray has said. It's like people are arguing with Mowbray through you. See above. Here's another below. Now maybe you agree with the original poster, and disagree with Mowbray, but rather than put your point of view across you are just telling people to listen to Mowbray. But I doubt it.

It is because you keep posting links to what Mowbray says about Brereton, and have said previously when people question your views that "you need to listen to the Mowbray comments I posted yesterday" Such as "You need to listen to Mowbray's comments from yesterday that I have just posted. " But Mowbray, like any manager, will be playing the media game at times. But regardless, you do now see that I didnt say you couldn't quote who you want when you want, but regardless you just threw a wobbler on your previous post !

I said "Stop quoting Mowbray to validate your opinion because ...... ". I never said you couldn't quote Mowbray or anyone else when you wanted to did I? However you reply as though you think I am being unfair, or bullying, or picking on you etc... Which I clearly wasn't.

Chaddy stop quoting Mowbray to validate your opinion as he obviously isn't going to come out with something negative about Brereton. He's hardly going to come out and say "I'm disappointed with what he has shown so far" When Brereton has played this season, he has been played out of position and has generally not looked very good. That is an opinion which most people hold. He may have shown the odd flash of ability but generally he has been pretty poor regardless of whether he cost £7mill or was free. He may well start up front in the next few games, look brilliant and progress to become a legend. We all hope he does. We know he has been bought for potential. However, all people are saying is at the moment that £7million has been wasted on what he has shown so far. Some people seem to think voicing that opinion on a message board is a sin against the club.

Seems odd that we buy a striker who we don't trust to play up front unless we are losing. How hard is it to be fit enough to close players down from the front. Where did he come on and play against Sheff United ? (genuinely don't know as I missed that game?)

A lot of talk about price tags and Mowbrays comments, Forest fans opinions and other clubs chasing him etc... over the last 24 hours on this thread. The fact remains he hasn't looked good in any appearance playing out wide, whether he cost £7million or £70k. Football is littered with 19 year olds who make a name for themselves. I'm not expecting him to beat every man and win games on his own (As TM implies). I am expecting him, at 19 years old, to be able to come on for 30 minutes in his preferred position and give a generally good performance. It's baffling why we haven't seen him tried in that position.

Not many of those type of quality of Graham about. Could you name anyone?  Rudy.

Did we not officially open the Liberty Stadium as Swansea's "Glamour Friendly" in the summer of 2005? Or have I imagined that?

Not seen this mentioned on here. Came across it whilst looking if Preston tickets had been announced yet. Firework display after the QPR game taking place from behind the Riverside stand. Season ticket holders can move to JW stand for the match and for a better view free of charge. All other Riversides will be moved into the DE lower after the game if they want to see the display. Should also get a good view from The Fox or The Fernhurst after the game. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/october/celebrate-rovers-birthday-with-football-and-fireworks/

Lol. That's unfair but your posts on my fictional 'narrative' was fair ?

That's more truthful from you, but inaccurate as far as I am concerned. I'm the first to judge players after seeing what they do on a pitch. Look at my u-turn on the Downing signing last season - so much so I started a thread on opinions you had got wrong based on it. I supported Jason Roberts when other just criticised and even saw the good in Blake despite the criticism he received. I'd like to think I'm fully capable of judging players on what they do on the pitch, regardless of what they cost, who they sleep with, what parties they attend and what their wife says on twitter. My opinion on Brereton so far is posted clearly above, but be rest assured I'll be the first to praise him when he shows his ability. There may well be people who never warm to him because of the price tag but I'm not one of them. There will also be those people who talk up his contributions in games as they can't be seen to accept Mowbray may have overspent on a limited player.

That's my opinion. It's not a narrative. By narrative you are impling my opinion is being given to suit another agenda or story.

Firstly you can't say it was untrue as it's an opinion, and one shared by a number of people. I want Brereton to do well and I want him to score bagful of goals and be worth tons of money. However I feel we overpaid for what he has done so far in his career, and that he may well prove to be a decent striker and a goal scorer but he isn't a winger. Some people think he might have done OK yesterday as he worked hard and didn't lose the ball every time. That may well be an improvement on his previous appearances. However he didn't really do anything and Palmer / Rothwell / Travis could have been more suited for what he was asked to do. Whether he is worth the money, time will tell, and we need to see what he can do in his preferred position. But, so far, he has been generally poor when used out of position , and as we have paid our biggest outlay in years on him, it's bound to draw attention. I don't think any of that is unfair or negative. Just my honest appraisal of the situation.

Opinion is split obviously about yesterday. Could you explain what you think my narrative on BB is?

Who was the guy at right back who Armstrong kept going passed again and again in the first half. He couldn't judge the flight of the ball at all. I presume he was one of the ones who was only in due to injuries?

So instead of playing him in his proposer position, where he might have a bad game, he's playing him out of position where he is definitely having bad games. Therefore the fan base are unfairly thinking he's not worth the money in what he has shown. Strange logic of that really is TM's thinking.

No. I just see the contradiction between your views now and what you said then..
