  1. That’s what it looks like to me. He was a fall back option.
  2. That same style of play with Ripley and Wilcox won us the Prem. Now they prefer guys coming inside all the time and congesting the play. I used to play full back and if you’d prevented crosses coming in throughout the game you could come off the pitch with a smile on your face.
  3. Then you see City still trying to strengthen their team even after signing “ the last piece in the jigsaw “, Haaland. That’s the way to do it. When you’re at the top of the tree and everybody wants to play for you. We still had too many people at the club with a small team mentality. “ We’ve won it once, that’ll do for me “.
  4. Makes you wonder doesn’t it. I know he’s blown hot and cold in the past but not to this degree.
  5. Started out playing left back at Wolves but with England international Bobby Thompson already being there he eventually went to Oldham. He moved into midfield there and within a season or two Preston signed him. We signed him from Preston.
  6. Great player. Somebody was talking about “ warriors “ the other day. He was a real warrior. When we sold him to Hull our relegation was nailed on.
  7. As I understand it he’d already agreed to join Sunderland replacing Advocaat but Dick Advocaat had a change of heart at the last minute and decided to stay. A couple of months into the season Sunderland’s result were shit and Advocaat was gone ! Too late for Dyche though.
  8. It was going on before Mowbray was appointed but he did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation.
  9. Dyche was ready to take over at Sunderland a few years ago until Advocaat changed his mind.
  10. Unduly hasty appointment in my opinion.
  11. Not expected to play again until next year.
  12. I wouldn’t exactly say we’re strong there. The juries out as far as I’m concerned with Hedges.
  13. I’m ok with that if he’s better than Hedges. That’s how you improve teams.
  14. I’ve never seen the lad play but from what I read he’d fit the bill.
  15. You could probably put a video of Gally’s highlights that make him look a world beater. Having said that I think this lad is worth giving a go to if there isn’t anyone better out there.
  16. How many players do Forest want ? Also how are they going to keep all of them happy ?
  17. Would we be able to sign the likes of Mokoena and Nelsen today ?
  18. I was thinking that the other day. Is he training them too hard in an effort to catch up on the lost time before his appointment ? Are we “ leaving it all in the gym “ as they say in boxing ?
  19. Yes probably, it’d just seem a bit odd. Modern football I suppose. When I first started watching 4 out of the 5 forwards were actually born in Blackburn !
  20. I’d say it’s pretty difficult to play 32 games as a striker and not score a goal. Even if it was with Rotherham. You’re in Chris Brown territory. edit. He’s already a better header of the ball than Gally. Don’t let him take the pens though.
  21. Go on any other teams fans forum and you will find lots of complaints from decent fans regarding the brain dead coked up elements that are behaving like cretins.
  22. I’d be indifferent to him. He massively over stayed his welcome at Ewood. I’m just grateful I don’t have to listen to his after match interviews on Radio Lancashire anymore.
  23. There’s an article on Wolves in my paper today. It reveals the nationalities of the entire first team squad. Two English players, one Irish player - and ten Portuguese players. I’m not sure how I’d feel about that if it was the same at Rovers.
