Tyrone Shoelaces

Because we’ll only get an hour max out of both of Ohashi and Gueye so who do we bring on then ?

He seems to pick up more than his share of injuries. I don’t know what it is with modern centre halves. The first Rovers centre half I saw play, Matt Woods, appearances 26/26, 48/48, 43/44, 50/51, 47/47, 41/55,, 47/49. Of course Matt was made from wrought iron.

He was also involved in beginning the move in centre field if my memory serves me well.

Is Rudi pulling his old boots on then ?

Not the same player as Mercer and myself were discussing.

Hutch was a good ‘un, he gave many a good player a hard time. However I remember Eamon Rogers playing as an emergency right back and keeping him relatively quiet in another night match at Ewood. That was Eamon, he could have been anything he wanted to be. If ever a player lost his way.

It’s obvious really.

And then show them the running track.

You could, and England and Rovers did, play Keith Newton in either full back position, it didn’t matter which. He could jockey a winger and put a tackle in with either foot. None of this “ Oh, it’s on his wrong foot shit that you hear today.

Whatever happened to players who could do both ? Go outside and inside.

I wouldn’t be playing JRC at the moment. Is Weimann ready for a start ? Also I don’t think starting both of Gueye and Ohashi is possible at the moment. Neither of them has much more than an hour in their legs. I’d start with Gueye and hold Ohashi back. I think Dolan has played himself out of a starting role on Saturday, maybe time to give Siggy a whirl there. He looked more focussed in that cameo he had.

Or Sammi playing his heart out at Leicester with both legs strapped.

It’s funny how Markanday put in two cracking goal scoring corners yesterday for Chesterfield. Did he ever take them for us ?

Why, were you in goal ?

I keep saying this but Brian Clough said - “ Nobody can lose you a game quicker than your goalkeeper so sign the best one you can get “ . That was after people questioned him paying a record fee to sign Peter Shilton. He was right then and he’s still right now.

You could well be right about his ability but my point was if he is successful he’ll be off next season. We’ll never be able to build a team as long as the Chicken Chokers are calling the shots because they sell every decent player we get.

That was the game. It’s still handy having a midfield player who can carry it from your half to their half at speed. None of Tronstad, Travis or JRC can do that.

It doesn’t work quite like that at Rovers. In the very unlikely event of us spending £6 million on a striker and he has a good season he’ll be off next August - see Sammi. If he doesn’t have a good season he’ll hang around like a bad smell - see Gally.
