Great, has there ever been a game abandoned twice for the same reason ?

How many of those signings would have got into last seasons fully fit team ? Gudjohnsen, maybe. Alebiosu - easily good enough but Brittain was playing well. Morishita, again maybe. After that you’ve said it.

We had a guy called Stan Milburn coaching our works team. Jackie Milburn’s brother and Bobby Charlton’s uncle. 587 league games and an England “ B “ international right back. I was playing full back at the time and he helped me a lot with positional play etc. His advice in a situation like that one yesterday were you had to crowd an opponent was - “ Get close enough so your opponent hasn’t enough space to turn with the ball but not that close that he can roll you “ . Or as in yesterday example “ buy a free kick.” Certainly don’t crash into the back of him.

Who would you have brought on as subs given the players that were being replaced ?

I see Billy Bonds has died. A really good player in his day A great player if you’re a West Ham fan. I see somebody has written “ West Ham’s best captain “. Err, Bobby Moore anybody ? “

The Arrows - I love rock and roll.

The coaching staff can only do so much. Once the players cross over the white line there’s not much you can do. Do you think Big Sam had coached Matt Derbyshire to pass the ball back into midfield instead of taking it into the corner flag in the famous game against City ? Tired players sometimes make bad decisions. Hedges doesn’t always play 90 minutes for a reason

I didn’t see the game just the highlights. We were picking up a relative from the USA at Manchester airport. I texted my son who had watched the game later. I value his opinion. He always calls it like it is, he takes his blue and white glasses off at KO time. This is his text - “ I thought we played well. Sat back a bit much at the end, inviting them on. The free kick that led to the goal was bollocks “.

Yeah, I agree. The ref awarded a free kick, he didn’t award a goal. The ball is there to be defended. Having said that Moore is a handful in the air. Knowing that we should have had a player around the penalty spot for that eventually. We all got drawn into the scrum and they didn’t.

No need to do what he did.

That was a top class header today. Most of the chances like that get missed.

There are things wrong with his game but get him the ball in the box and he score more than any other player we have.

He’s scored some real strikers goals. That one today was terrific.

Great cross, great header.

Rochdale re-laying the entire pitch in mid season. Supposed to by in the £1.5 to 2 Million in costs.

We’ve probably lost 12,000 fans in the Venkies era. No matter what we do 6,000 of them at least will never set foot in Ewood again unless it’s a prime event

Whatever happened to the days when away games were always problematical but you could be reasonably confident of winning at home ? It would have been better for attendances if our home/away form could be reversed.

I see Ipswich play tonight. Not only do they get to replay a game they looked very much like losing but they get extra time to get ready for it !

It certainly helps. Being entertained is another one.

That says it all really. A young lad making his 2nd appearance. The more experienced players should hang their heads.

Certainly not as a starter. Maybe for the last 15-20 minutes.
