Tyrone Shoelaces

I don’t think he’s staying full stop. He’s had a great season in a poor team.

Nobody compares to Kean. He’s in a lack of class all on his own.

I’d like to see us go with 4 at the back and try and get forward a bit more. Then you look at the full backs. As a pair, the two worst defensive full backs in my memory.

Yes, he was ok after the game apparently.

And all of them putting up more of a fight than Rovers.

10/10

Sammi is a typical Luton signing. I can’t see him at Brentford.

We’d brought in players to play the JDT passing game. Then the new guy decides to play a more direct game without having enough of the necessary players to play that way. Flying in the face of the age old coaching dictum - “ quickly analyse the skill set of your players and decide on a way of playing that suits them best “. Looking at Gally he should be the ideal target man for that sort of game but everybody and his dog at Ewood knew he isn’t. Even JDT made the mistake of thinking he was. i was really optimistic after the Newcastle game but I’m afraid the last three games have sunk us. We needed 6 points and we came up with 2. Not enough I’m afraid.

We were gone when we gave Wharton to Palace. Everytime I look at the individual scores on the BBC site he’s the top player.

Warnock just left Aberdeen.

I could never understand fouling an opponent in that situation. As you say they can easily miss the chance, it’s possibly a 50/50. If they score it’s only 1-1 with 40 minutes to go. I’d have thought McFad had more experience than that. If there was 5 minutes left I could understand it.

One was a footballer, one isn’t. The Don could play centre forward, centre half and in midfield and still look good. No good having the physique if you don’t use it. Little guys like Speedie or Dickov were more of a threat physically than Gally .

I think he played for Brighton.

I’d rather have The Don than Gally. Agree about the other two.

Play the same way in Australia and we’ll get the same outcome. If the powers that be are happy with that, fair enough.

Yeah, it just crossed my mind how I feel about today’s game and how I felt setting off for Ewood for the 3rd division promotion game all those years ago. It’s like chalk and cheese, whatever happened to excitement at a football match ? We had a few really good players then and a few not so good but all of them gave 100% for the club. They’d be on peanuts compared with what the current lot are on but they left nothing out on the pitch that afternoon. The starting 11 played the whole game, none of this coming off after 60 minutes because they “ need a break “. For the old timers still interested - Rovers that day - Jones Heaton, Hawkins, Fazackerley, Burgin Metcalfe, Oates, Parkes. Beamish, Hickman, Martin. Scorers - Beamish, Hickman 2, Martin 2 Att - 17, 818. How many of them would get in the current team ? I’d say most of them. What I wouldn’t give for Roger Jones in goal today ! Anyway, come on Rovers put a smile on my face on Saturday night for once.

Dunny will be sniffing around the job.

Bo Diddley - Before You Accuse Me

I just think I was lucky. If Fred Pickering, Mike England and Keith Newton had come through the youth team now they’d have been gone before they’d hardly pulled the shirt on like Phillips.

The Capitols - Cool Jerk

How many got “ in “ and then got out.

The Honey Cone - Want Ads Massive No 1 in the US, 1001 over here, strange how tastes were different then.

SSH ! It might work.

Definitely. This season is going to be one of those seasons were the team fourth from bottom is going to need a more than average number of points to stay up. Apart from us and Rotherham everybody else is fighting for their lives.

I agree about us being out numbered in midfield all the time.
