I wouldn’t have signed him the second time around. He’d done next to nothing in two seasons after he left Rovers

He’s gone backwards over the last season or two. He was never the greatest but at the moment he’s dire.

The crowd scenes are amazing.

Fred Else in the one were the Preston team are linking arms.

No Jim.

I think that’s film of the FA Cup replay in February 1960. Look at the scorers - Dobing 2 and Dougan 1. We won 3-0 away after drawing 1-1 at home with a last gasp Mick McGrath goal. Incidentally the gate for the home game was 51, 223 ! Most of the male population of Blackburn ! Team for the home game - Leyland Bray, Whelan Clayton, Woods, McGrath Douglas, Dobing, Dougan, Vernon, McCleod. For the away game Bimpson played in place of Douglas and Douglas played in place of Vernon. Vernon must have been on his way to Everton between the games.

I remember them.

It Takes Two - Marvin Gaye And Kim Weston

Standing - Roy Isherwood, Harry Leyland, Dave Whelan, John Bray, Mike England, Andy McEvoy, Mick McGrath, Bob Jones. Seated - Matt Woods, Ally McCleod, Dougan, Fred Pickering.

Love’s Made A Fool Of You - The Bobby Fuller Four

Morton should have looked inside when he went for that chip past the keeper. There was a Rovers player wide open on the penalty spot. Play the percentages. A chip from a really awkward angle or a slipped pass inside. I know what Dack would have done in the same position.

Grrr.

Cry Baby - Garnett Mimms And The Enchanters. No relation to Bobby.

We’re down to the bare bones at the moment but I can’t fault the the guys who are wearing the shirt.

The lad’s got a great attitude. He’ll do for me.

We’ve got to be pretty happy with a win given the number of players we have missing. What’s happening with the Wharton brothers ?

Playing up front tonight !

Too many games this season. It wouldn’t have happened previously. We got out of the cups asap.

I’m Looking For Some Action - Paul Young And Q-Tips. Just looked for it on YouTube. 1980 ! Shit, where did those 43 years go ?

I’d be a bit pissed off if I was Carter. Is Pickering injured ?

Mashed Potato Time - Dee Dee Sharp. Some company has this on an advertisement on TV at the moment. Air B&B I think.

Queen Of Hearts - Dave Edmunds And Rockpile

We’re confused “ Quick “ with “ Fast “. Quick is over 10 or 15 yards, Fast is over 30 to 40 plus yards. I used to go watching my rugby league team doing sprint training and you’d get the little scrum half or hooker types like Dolan in physique leaving the big forwards for dead over 15-20 yards but by 50 yards the forwards were passing them. Of course the plan is for the little quick guys to make the breaks then hand the ball over to the forwards. It’s not quite the same in football but you need to get the little quick guys in possession nearer to the goals and not in our half.

I’d probably have Hedges in for Dolan and Dolan in for Leonard. I’d have Leonard on the bench though.
