You’ve missed out Harper from WBA and that full back from Liverpool who hardly ever played. Edit Sam Hart.

Him and Gestede are the two best headers of the ball I’ve seen at Ewood. Talking strikers of course. Mike England was the best header I ever saw. Being 6’3” with a great spring made him almost unbeatable.

Back in the day Gallagher would have never been a centre forward. He hasn’t got the tools. He’d have been a gangly, lower League, inside right.

Hedges isn’t a finisher. My mum could have put the one he missed at Leicester away. If you can’t score with a chance like that you aren’t going to score many.

Speedie would out jump either of Brererton or Gallagher.

If only.

If they weren’t happy to drift along like this season after season they’d have done something about it by now. It’s obvious to me.

Great little player. He would have got us up this season just like he did previously. How could you not want to bust a gut with him and Moran in the team ?

I couldn’t understand why we didn’t do that for the last 10 minutes.

Thomas and Hedges are similar. Crap when starting a game, OK for 30 minutes off the bench.

it’s the Lambert scenario being played out all over again.

He doesn’t work hard enough for me. The days of wingers standing out on the touchline waiting for a team mate to pass them the ball are over. They need to be much more involved on and off the ball.

I’ve watched Morris quite a lot over the years - he was always a busy hardworking physical forward who’d run all day. But having to shoulder the burden of leading the line meant he was a bit of a blunt instrument. However putting another guy up there with him to share the work means he’s become much more dangerous in front of goal. For me there’s a lesson there.

Jimmy Radcliffe - My Ship Is Coming In

Would you sign Thomas this Summer ? I wouldn’t.

He’s gone back to the sort of form we saw when we first signed him. Completely ineffectual. One of the weakest 6 footers I’ve ever seen.

They’ve decided on a simple but effective system of play and recruited the players to play it. Two strikers ! Yeah I like that very much. You increase your chances of scoring massively. Then you look at Rovers trying to football their way out of the division without the players capable of playing that way.

Millwall will be another 1-1 draw so it’s over for the foreseeable future. This was the season to do it and we’ve blown it good and proper.

He got away with the poor first touch. Running from deep into space he could turn it into a pass to himself. Once opponents wised up that was it.

I could never figure out the Hedges signing. A deeply average player who’s one footedness always gives his opponents a chance.

Evie Sands - Take Me For A Little While

That’s all you need to get out of this division. Why people think you can football your way out of it with less than excellent players is a mystery to me. With Dunn, Jansen, Duff etc yes but we won’t see the like of them again.
