Very England mid 2000's esque in the way that they have had a bit of a golden generation but don't have a system to fit all the players in coherently. Strikers these days cannot work in a 2 every formation is centered around 1 lone striker. I'd imagine both Gyokeres and Isak feel incredibly uncomfortable playing with each other and also don't know how to play with each other. 4-4-2 doesn't particularly work in the modern game and their squad lacks a solid defence and keeper for a 3-5-2 but they play this way as it's 'modern' but it just leaves them wide open, just to shoe horn in 2 strikers (who have been nothing short of sporadic this season)

Never played for Rovers either or has any affiliation. odd one.

Only local team with enough available first teamers to give us a good run out. pointless playing a team in the same league or lower. only play the game at 80% of our capacity

My apologies, i had missed this, was that 2 assists or goals in the Leicester game?

Strange how he no longer features for the senior side nor the academy sides

Keep sharp - keep match ready, it's as simple as that.

One for Jan, William Osula Newcastle would be a really excellent loan deal.

I am trying to raise issues and hopefully get a few things sorted. A real shame, Women's players on this years edition of Fifa (EAFC26) are highly sought after on the online modes of the game. a promotion to the WSL would've Absolutely skyrocketed the reputation of the women's side. To say we shot ourselves in the foot is a real understatement, it is the exact same scenario as when the men's side got relegated. 1 more season in the prem and we would've had the new TV deal to contend with enhancing budgets across the board... hindsight is wonderful!

First team keeper got injured early in the first half, with no sub keeper we had to play an outfielder in goal....

2-1 loss to Chester Le Street - no live updates, no team sheet.

A 40 minute kick about. Rather watch Shearer and Sutton play heads and V's against Tim Flowers.

Hence why i couldn't possibly say - it is mere speculation.

Riyadh Rovers has a hell of a ring to it.. Buckley might fancy a game or two as well.

Correct, on our 150th anniv. We are celebrating an FA Cup loss. Not our FA Cup wins, Premier League win, Carling cup win etc. but a LOSS.

Correct however most do not want to play in the qualifiers or even the group stages for that matter

International football has lost it's spark considering 80% of all matches England play are practically walk in the parks.. most would choose the champions league group match over a Euro/WC qualifier against Albania

Anyone else want him to go to Barcelona and not Real Madrid?

I was wrong, good win!

That's why he should've been on instead of ohashi

Gueye scores that header there.

Pitch had very little time to dry out overnight either... Begs the question, why can't we afford covers? I'd wager a cover costs around £2 5-8k?

FA Cup starts for the team this weekend against Stocksbridge Park Steels (Jamie Vardy's first ever club). They are probably a very similar level to us, I imagine 5-1 to Stocksbridge.

Bordering on very close - As i'm reading it, there will be constant rainfall til about 1am and will pick back up HEAVY from 7 til past 1 in the afternoon. However the weather can be unpredictable at the best of times.

94/95 team against United 94/95 team under the lights at Ewood.

No way this game finishes, weather almost mirrors 2 weeks ago along with stronger winds. Stay home enjoy your Saturday in the warmth.
