Tyrone Shoelaces

He’d have other clubs interested for sure.

I like it. Wait whilst Pep finds out.

That’s why we have 5 subs. They could field a second team that would probably end up in the top six.

Did we have a right footer on the right wing and a left footer on the left wing ? Maybe this radical tactic will catch on !

In the great scheme of things that’s pretty meaningless.

But playing them up there together was the master stroke. Playing one of them on their own would be just like playing Gally up there on his own.

I don’t think we’ve any choice. He’ll have only really met the players this morning. The timing of the appointment hasn’t been in our favour.

They’ve got the right mixture of possession and direct play that can get you out of this division without breaking the bank. They’ve got a very good coach/manager.

Will Sammi be fit ?

if I was him I’d be in the stand today taking notes. Leave todays game to Johnson and Lowe.

Unfortunately I can’t paint a picture where we win. I’d take a draw now. As you say too much work to be done in the future for things to gel overnight. I’d be delighted to be wrong.

Like any player, he’s good at some things and not good at others. So you put him in the position in the set up where he can do most good. Taking it off the back four - not really. Rampaging around in centre field - that’s more his style. If you want a team of tikka tikka passing players - he won’t fit in.

Yeah, and the manager that does it will be hailed as a ground breaking genius.

It is a different game.

That’s why you can sub half the team in today’s game. Usually the players that do the most pressing. Of course if you only have a bench full of kids it’s not going to work.

It’s obvious, win the ball high up the field, play as much as you can in their half.

Don’t know matey. If it’s not in “ The Guardian “ ?

That’s why you’re out there Jim, they only have to get it wrong once.

Amy ?

There’s no way they’ll spend that sort of money on McGuire. It’s just smoke and mirrors.

It’s more the players who were getting picked to start every week start thinking “ new guy, I better pull my socks up just in case “ and the players who weren’t starting every week start thinking “ new guy, If I impress him I might get a starting place or a place on the bench “.

No, the new guy in last nights interview.

All I know is it’s 10 times easier being the pressing player than it is being the player trying to play out from the back. One mistake in the last third and it usually ends up in a shot on goal. Which in our case usually equals a goal.

Yes they do, and when Rovers have players of that stature again I hope we can play that way. At the moment we don’t have those players.

I didn’t hear that, mainly it was Blackburn.
