The Elgins - Heaven Must Have Sent You

Amoroso ?

Most of them went against us last weekend as well. That’s what happens at this time of the season. Every year teams start fighting for their lives, some get the “ new manager “ bounce. We don’t seem to do either.

There are no easy wins in this league at kick off time. You only beat your chest at the final whistle when you’ve done the business. If I had a £1 for every game Rovers have lost when most people thought they should win I’d be a pretty rich man.

The lack of fight has been going on since the Chicken Chokers walked through door. Executives have come and gone, managers have come and gone, coaches have come and gone, players have come and gone yet nothing has really changed. Nor will it until we change the owners.

That was the most predictable result and performance of the weekend. If I ever backed against Rovers I’d be quids in. I just can’t bring myself to do it.

I said at the time that selling Wharton was our Ken Knighton moment. That’s for those with a long memory.

The very, very, long list of games we’ve lost once we’ve gone behind just got one game longer. It’s now off the bottom of the page.

That’s a really poor interview.

What can I say ?

I don’t get it. Tell players they’re tired and they’ll play like it.

Once you’ve had an injury like that it’s as much what’s going on in your head as what’s going on with your leg.

I wouldn’t sign anyone who’d suffered a leg break until they’d been back playing first team football again for at least 6 months.

That would be my team.

Yeah, he’s a throwback to the sort of inside left I used to play against when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Easy to mark, they only played when they got the ball, but you had to be careful once they were in possession. They usually had a trick or two.

I think Eustace has had a quick look at the squad and decided to play in ways that add to our strengths. Imagine that ! Three centre backs because we are quite well off for centre backs, especially when Carter returns. We also have the lad from Crewe and the kid from Liverpool. Two wing backs because our normal full backs, Brittain and Pickering aren’t the world’s best defenders but they can put a good ball in. If Hedges was fit he could play out on the left again. A passing player and a tackler in central midfield and two busy attacking players in Sammi and Dolan playing off a lone striker in Gally ( when he’s fit of course. ) It makes sense to me. We just need to get a run of games out of them so they can build up an understanding of the expected patterns of play. It makes sense to me

It’s when he “ rolled “ off the treatment table. Getting back to Siggy, the word that went through my mind watching him the other night was “ languid “.

Putting yourself about a bit can work wonders for your game. Look at Sammi, and David Speedie back in the day. They have/had ability but if they’d have just stood about waiting for somebody else to set them up they’d have been only half the player they are/were.

Siggy was the only one who was going through the motions when it came to pressing.
