Playing three up front away at Luton is pretty naive. You need to have more bodies in midfield to dominate the play.

Correct, if you’re playing 5 at the back and 3 up front the two wing backs have got be really on song. Otherwise the two in centre midfield are going to get the runaround. Pretty obvious really.

One you missed - our flying winger of the sixties - Mike Harrison.

Yeah he was truly bad.

That’s a really good article. Talking about the other two that played with MacNamee I remember Kurila, his real nickname was “ Killer “. Cushley was a handful and he was the quietest of the lot ! Signing MacNamee saved us from the old Div 4. There was an immediate change in attitude in the team and we stopped feeling sorry for ourselves and started competing again. Just proves you can be a legend after only one season.

We got one the other night with the off side decision. I’ve seen plenty of more obvious off sides given as a goal. That famous incident against West Ham being just one !

Did you see the Hogan hat trick for Big Club ? Their second goal was terrific, including the pass of the season so far to set him up.

Could have been the new Johnny Price. He did ok after leaving Ewood, wasn’t he on the verge of a big move when he broke his leg ?

They put two of our players out for weeks last time we were down there. Two really bad fouls that they got away with. Let’s hope we get a ref who’s eyes aren’t painted on.

Their keeper didn’t exactly cover himself in glory for the first goal. If that had have been Kaminski letting that one in I wouldn’t have been too happy.

Especially with Dyche out of work, WBA would be the perfect fit.

We need not to take a backward step down there. It’s going to be ale house football, we need to be ready for it. I hope somebodies told JDT what to expect.

Stewart has got a medium term injury, couple of months out apparently.

It’s a hard one to call when it’s only 1-0. I used to say “ You never get tired as long as you’re winning “. Take somebody off and you lose your shape, concede an equaliser, and it’s “ Why did we make the subs “. We won 2-0, so he got it right.

I think the bloke at Bolton is one to watch for the future.

I agree about the kit. We haven’t had a good one for years in my opinion.

I no longer bother wether a “ goal “ is offside or not, at either end. They’ve made such a mess of the laws of the game that I just take whatever decision the officials give.

You can usually afford to have one in the team, especially when he’s playing in the opposing half most of the time. It’s when defenders start running into traffic with the ball you have problems.

You pass the ball forward and it gets cut out, you are still between the opposition and our goal. Run forward with the ball and you get robbed, you’re no longer between the opposition and the goal. Having said that players that can carry the ball from the half way line to the opposing penalty area are murder for defenders to deal with. As we saw from time to time with Rothwell.

Luton will be a good test this weekend. They beat us up last season. We’ve got a bit more steel in this team I hope.

We started out at a high tempo for a change and we scored first. We usually do ok when that happens.

Strange results tonight, so far only Rovers have won at home.

Well I didn’t see that coming. Made my night and probably tomorrow as well !

That’s the Chicken Chokers influence.

Montgomery Burns heh ?
