  1. Based on the quality of keepers in this league, you'd storm it if you signed 3 6ft5 players for corners given keepers don't command their box, and encouraged 3+ shots from outside the box per game!
  2. Commentators always say how hard Hedges work. If he could control a ball in the first instance, he wouldn't have to work as hard.
  3. Finishing the season with 4 (or 5) wins on the bounce is the frustrating suckerpunch in my view. If we had nicked a draw in the barren spell we'd all be a bit more reassured. Similarly, the players driving the performance (Cantwell, Dolan, Brittain) I half expect to be clawing at the door to leave setting us back to square one next year - despite anything Gestede says. All of that said, even as negative I am, I can't help but enjoy the games as of late. Not sure what happened at Sheff Weds nor how it happened but I'm very glad it did!
  4. Hesitant to buy too much into the narrative that he wants huge money. However looking at the squad over the course of the year, comparing him to Cantwell - what would a good agent say? He's clearly a young ambitious lad who's pulled himself up the football pyramid. What he perhaps lacks in football intelligence at times he makes up for in work rate. What's the bet we've done little to identify an adequate replacement? We probably have a few punts lined up. As a note too, he's always (seemingly) done all the fan events thrown at him. Also saw a clip of him at 5 a side in Manchester. Wild speculation but he seems to want and appreciate being a footballer.
  5. Toth is another who doesn't command his box. Routinely pinned to the goal line. He seems a decent reaction saved and so can maybe see the logic, especially when you have Batth to sweep up the first ball, but he's getting on a bit. Cautious about banking on him next year.
  6. Commanding the box more than he tells the keepers to do
  7. Not sure that's a card for Forshaw if nothing for Rigg
  8. Thought for sure we fluffed that, how many touches!
  9. Keeper has a bit of the foosball about him. Horizontal across the line only
  10. Sunderland commentary team have referred to our recent form as a bit of a dip. Unsurprising now that they deem themselves a big club if this is their frame of reference
  11. Say what you want about the new manager, but that is without a doubt a team of 11 starting players supplemented by 9 substitutes. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
  12. Increasingly bizarre feeling on this messageboard. Couple thousand members all united in a passion that actively upsets them. Not sure I'll go to great lengths to watch it today
  13. I know the board room staff are the root cause of a lot of the issues not limited to this manager. But there is a real real culture of 'that'll do, easy street' amongst the players. Clearly culture trickles down, but it's frustrating as a fan. I distinctly remember Hyam and Brittain not liking being challenged on poor performances
  14. Is supporting Rovers meant to be like the last scene of Elf. We all have to believe and back the boys, and the results will come again. Where's our Zoey Deschanel?
  15. Don't worry, he got his big move to Spurs and now he can break the silence
  16. Christ it's worse than I thought. We've got the Brockhall Mukhabarat. It's like something out the USSR. Secret shadow men, competing levels of reporting up the chain on one another. Historically, all of that came with skimming off the top and a fire sale to finish. What did Santayana say about history?
  17. Talk about a man who knows how to see off a few Indians
  18. Come on Val, pop another blue steel and stand motionless in the technical area - 204th time the charm
  19. At least we signed him, who was it we didn't sign because he wore ripped jeans? Am I mad in recalling it being Reece James?
  20. Do we need a BRFC wife swap style hobby exchange?
  21. I'm racking my brain for other hobbies. I can't keep watching this, I'll get sectioned. There's a lot of investment spend in wood working, probably prices me out. Tai Chi is free in the park?
