Tyrone Shoelaces

I can’t see him staying to be honest. The Chicken Chokers will be desperate to cash in.

It was like when the appointed Coyle. I knew in the August we were dead meat. I don’t know what the odds were for us to be relegated then but they’d be reasonable. I just couldn’t do it.

Then other teams sussed us out - Mowbray had no plan “ B “ - and the season just fell away.

Not yet but you never know with them !

Shocking isn’t it. That says a lot about the mentality of everyone at the club. ” Lucky “ Ipswich have got 25 goals in that period and conceded 11. At the moment that’s a goal in more than every other game ! Rovers have scored 5 and conceded 21. A damning statistic that I would imagine has been the case with Rovers for the last few seasons.

He’s our only real option up front unfortunately. “ In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king “ . Long live King Gally.

The Yardbirds - For Your Love

Interesting. Not being able to play out the full ninety minutes has been our Achilles heel for a long while. Yesterday we did for once.

Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band - Still The Same

I’ve got to admit I’m not a fan. He misses too many chances and he misses more game than a physical giant should. Fair play to him yesterday, coming off his sick bed to play his usual 60, 65 minutes. I had to laugh when the miss control got him past the Sunderland defender for the goal. I think for the wages he’s reputedly to be on we could do better. I see the Sunderland fans are complaining that he roughed their players up - about bloody time is my immediate thought. He’s up against his old club that let him go on Saturday. Let’s see if he can make them regret letting him go.

Earl-Jean - I’m Into Something Good

£18.5 million ? As Black Bart the outlaw said at his trial, “ Some men rob with a six gun , some men rob with a fountain pen “.

It’s just the usual modern manager speak for public consumption. What he actually thinks or says behind the scenes could well be different. As long as he doesn’t actually believe that I’m ok with it.

It’s not like it was the first time is it ? I felt the same when we employed Lambert and Irvine and Co.

The Rolling Stones - Hearts Of Stone

We’re at Ewood. Yes, a point would be good.

Any other club and it would be.

Good ball in and a perfect header from Dack. Headed down and just to the keepers side. It would have been a pretty good save if he could have kept hold of the ball. But I want our keeper to make good saves. Once it was spilled it was a goal. if at all possible we want one of our two keepers out in the summer and a better first choice keeper brought in.

And when we did break on Sunderland we got plenty of bodies forward.

How many of those goals conceded have been down to Pears ? What can a manager do about that ? Drop him and play Wahlstadt ?

I’m just pleased we have a player who wants to give 110% every game.

Teams that keep scoring in the last 5 or 10 minutes of a game are good teams. Like it or not, it’s a fact. They keep going when most teams would be happy with a draw.

Correct, they’ve got the right mentality throughout the team.

How many goals have they scored to get points in the last ten minutes ? That’s nothing to do with luck.

What about that Dolan flick pass to JRC for the other Sammi goal. Bellingham does that and it’d be back page headlines. Plus how did he get that shot away for his goal ? He’s been out of sorts recently but today he was top class.
