It’s hard one to call. Will it be the Dingle experience or the Rovers youth that prevails ? I can honestly paint a picture were we win. Kaminsky and the centre halves play like Trojans under plenty of pressure allowing BBD to race away to bang in the winner. We definitely do better when the opposition have more of the ball.

Brererton was a once in a lifetime occurrence.

Tell us about season tickets again Matty. Somebody might have missed the other hundred posts you’ve made on the subject.

Hanley always had crucial mistake in him. He’s no smarter now than he was when he was with Rovers.

It’s more of a shit league this season than ever. Given a fair a wind we should be able to do something this time.

I take it one of them was the pen. So 1 out of 16.

There’s no data analysis that can tell you what’s going on in a players head. Matty got back to bodily fitness but the voices in his head held him back.

Hargreaves was a big loss.

Just one of a long list of “ opportunities missed “.

There’s a world of difference between winning an headed contest were the ball goes anywhere and winning an heading duel were the ball goes where you want it to go. Gally might win a few of the former but not many of the latter.

Wasn’t Markanday missing through injury at the weekend ?

I wouldn’t expect Phillips to ready to hold down a first team place at his age. Centre halves need maturity more than most other positions and that only comes with time. How many other 18 year old centre halves are there playing regular first team games in the football league ?

I remember getting a programme years ago were Alan Shearer was bigging up Marlon Broomes as the next Bobby Moore. It didn’t work out that way. Maybe he never saw Bobby Moore play.

Superb goal.

I was under the impression that both Hedges and Brittain are doubtful for the weekend.

Can’t see it myself. He’s only been there a dog watch. What would that say about him to future prospective employees.

You’ll get good odds on that.

Almost certainly.

Hull have picked up recently, we’ll need to take our “ A “ game there.

That’s my view also. The stress of that run in just got to be too much.

Yes I think he did.

Maybe JDT has given Gally some one to one coaching. After all he’ll know a lot more about playing up front than Mowbray or Venus.

The thing is you can’t keep players for a couple of years unless you are well run at the top. We aren’t.

In my experience the only thing that having non tackling forwards around our own penalty box leads to is penalties for the opposition with poorly timed attempts at defending. Get one on the half way line at least.

Where would the squad be without the un-expected bonus of the young players that have come through recently ?
