Archie Bell And The Drells - Here I Go Again.

Easy - we don’t go up they all get another season poncing around. We go up and quite a few don’t.

It’s a must. Line ‘em all up on training ground - “ Anybody who does fancy busting a gut in this game, go and get changed now “.

Hedges or Thomas out wide right and Brererton out wide left is a luxury we can’t afford when we are getting over run in central midfield.

It’s obviously a doss at Rovers. When we have a “ free hit “ like Leicester away we can play. When the pressure is on like yesterday we just don’t fancy it. Nothing will change - business as usual - nothing to see here.

No, I’d be trying it out.

Like I’ve said a thousand times - what do we do in training ? That’s the place to try these ideas out. As far as I’m concerned we’ve been light in midfield most of the time. If we can’t have quality in there we need quantity.

Yep, we need more in midfield. That’s were the game is won and lost most of the time.

I’m not knocking the current manager in particular, I just think even if we got Pep in he would struggle. We really need somebody who can make a silk purse out of a sows ear. We had our chance and we blew it. We’ll find out just how badly on Monday.

Get down to Ewood if you want to see walking football at it’s finest.

There’s a cancer at the heart of Blackburn Rovers and we all know what it is. Under the current ownership we will never thrive no matter who is managing whatever players we have out on the pitch. It’s as simple as that for me.

We are still 6th and have been up there all season yet as I pointed out on another thread none of our current team would get into the Souness promotion team and that team only came second to a very good Fulham side. The next season all of Fulham, Rovers and Bolton stayed up.

I didn’t watch the match yesterday so I can’t comment on the performance or lack of it. All I will say is if you look at yesterdays team not one of them would get into the Souness promotion team. That tells you all you need to know about our chances of promotion.

We lost in my first game at Ewood but I was hooked - unfortunately.

I think they just did. In the “ free hit “ games they’ve played well. When the pressure is on we look lost.

It’s like in any walk of life - if your attitude is wrong ultimately you’ll never reach your potential. When I trained apprentices the one thing I looked for was “ attitude “ . If it was good I could teach them all they needed to know, if it wasn’t good we were both wasting our time. What was that lad called that Utd blew out a few years ago and he then drifted from team to team ? He was majorly talented but his attitude was all wrong.

That’s why you have behind closed doors practice games. To try things out.

That’s the problem. It was pure luck this time.
