Tyrone Shoelaces

Neither of them is very good at jumping for contested headers. If they get a header in space they’re ok but so is everybody else.

They put the ball in front of him so he could attack it. We don’t play that way.

5’-11” is tall ? Well I suppose it is in Bangkok.

I know it was only a cameo but Markanday looked very handy in amongst the shambles that was Rotherham away. I

He’s cup tied.

I look at signings like this - Is he better than what we’ve already got ? Potentially I think he is - but we’ll have to see.

Okay, let’s talk about our latest signing. You go first.

It’s common sense. You get around the side of the defenders and get them running back towards their own goal it’s really difficult for them to watch the man with the ball and the man they’re marking. Look at the goal Dack scored on Saturday. Morton got outside the defence, turned them around, and Dack just held his run and let the defenders run away from him. Come inside and most of the time the defender can watch the man on the the ball and the man they’re marking.

Maybe Saka is our new mystery signing Jim. I’d be thrilled for him to play on the “ wrong “ wing.

When you’ve got Mahrez I can see the point. We haven’t.

All I hope is If he’s left footed - play him on the bloody left getting around teams. Not on the right running inside into trouble.

Kenny, Hughes and Souey didn’t want to be at Rovers long term either, that’s why they all bailed out.

You mean bored like I was watching us lose 4-0 at Rotherham ?

Last time we played that Ronnie and Dougie were the 2.

If I was Big Sam I’d tell them to do one.

So was I, that’s why I never made it above amateur level.

We won’t be starting next season in 4th place.

Too much of a gamble.

Yeah, I can’t figure than one out. What was he thinking ? When he’s 65 he’ll look back and think - “ I could have played for the Chicken Chokers “.

It’s a zombie club. I wish it wasn’t the case but unfortunately it is.

I think we dodged a bullet there,

Fill your boots,

Well before this window whoever was deciding what pond to fish in should have made sure they had concrete assurances as to where they stood regarding finances. If those assurances weren’t forthcoming they should be reconsidering their position. How can you do the job otherwise ?

We always play in front of teams. That’s because we are too slow in transition. By the time we’ve passed it along the back four a few times and give the keeper a couple of touches our opponents are all back into shape. We very rarely get around the side of teams and turn them so they’re running back towards their own goal. When we did it on Saturday Dack found space by the simple expedient of slowing down his run and letting the defenders run away from him. They couldn’t watch Dack and the ball at the same time. When teams are playing in front of you it’s a lot easier to watch the ball and your immediate opponent.

I think one or two were sorry he did.
