Or a drug dealer.

Dack’s great at arriving late into the box from an advanced midfield position. A bit like Frank Lampard was. Play him up front directly against centre halves and you lose that advantage of surprise.

I wish it was as simple as that but unfortunately it isn’t. Serious injuries and the way they can happen to you out of nothing can play on your mind. Matty Jansen never got over his no matter how hard he tried. As I said earlier physically you may appear to be fine but mentally ? Who knows. Speaking from personal experience here.

The ECB showed exactly what not to do when they took the cricket off free to air. It’s been down hill ever since.

How many goes did Mowbray have at signing one. When he finally did he played him on the right wing ! He wouldn’t know a good full back if one came up and kicked him up the arse.

For me it’s like comparing rugby league and rugby union. Both very similar codes that I find interesting but they are different in their own ways.

There must be an echo in here today.

You’re mixing up your players Jim, he doesn’t play for Barnsley.

“ Range Rovers “ are being stolen for fun in my area. Key less entry makes them easy to steal. I doubt wether he’ll see that again. It’ll be in bits by the end of the week. You can’t get spare parts for them at the moment apparently.I’ve seen plenty of them with an old fashioned ‘ dust bin lid “ lock over the steering wheel recently.

Mowbray made some really weird decisions in his time here but playing a left back on the right wing was up there with the strangest.

Mm, indeed.

That was a good time to play Hudds just like QPR at home was a good starter for us. Let’s wait and see what happens in a month or two.

Recovering mentally from serious injuries, especially if they occurred in innocuous circumstances, is much more difficult than getting over the physical side of the injury.

That was it with Mowbray - we rarely had a coherent, consistent way of playing and he very rarely knew what his best eleven looked like.

They’re going to do a Barnsley if they’re not careful. The midfield lad they sold to Forest was the best midfielder in the league for me last season

I’d like it if he puts one on that centre half that did Gallagher. It was the sort of foul you used to see in amateur football years ago but very rarely in modern pro football with TV cameras. The linesman must have had his eyes painted on, he should have been watching for stuff like that. Their bloke picked on the right guy in Gallagher, he’s a big soft lad who wouldn’t have retaliated even if he could.

Luton are shall we say “ combative “ . They beat us up at their place last season. One really reckless challenge put one of our players out for a couple of months and another sly elbow to the upper chest when the ball was on the other wing saw Gallagher go off coughing up blood. That one was totally un punished, the other incident was a yellow card. It’ll be interesting to see how you go on. If it’s at Burnley they may have to rein in the physicality but down there be prepared for an ale house game.

This seasons Barnsley.

And then you woke up.

That applies to most of the team although two of the usual culprits in Rothwell and Lenihan have left. Kicking the ball away, chatting to the ref, silly pointless fouls in our opponents half do my head in. Deliberate fouls should be reserved for goal saving situations.

What disheartens me and I suspect lots more regular attendees that don’t go as much anymore is the total lack of direction at the top. It’s no fun sailing in a rudderless ship.

They’ll need to buy him a right foot first.

Chaddy won’t be happy with that.

To me he’s always reactive and never proactive. Unless it comes to selling the training ground of course.

One thing about it is your games will be no longer as predictable as they were. Anything can happen now. New line up. Probable new way of playing. Lots of new faces. Some interesting young players. Change of style. Kompany has come in to re-build and he’ll find it a lot easier to re-build in this division than the Prem.
