Tyrone Shoelaces

I remember one early cross he put in that went out for a throw in.

I get the feeling the players thought as long as we beat Preston we’ll be forgiven for playing like drains for the last two months. Win that and we can get the deck chairs out. We never needed that bonus anyway.

Pickering just isn’t good enough. He’s an easy touch on that left hand side. He doesn’t know when to stick or twist. Maybe the injury has affected him. Compare his ability in one on one’s with Nyambe. .

I’m not sure that’s true. He’d had a longish barren spell before he went abroad.

I’ve had a long think about this and I came to the conclusion that we were scared of Bournemouth and we didn’t fancy our chances at any point.

I like playing with a back four but for that to work you need two pacey fullbacks who are excellent defensive players but can also get forward to a certain extent and who are good passers of the ball . You need two centre halves, one who is absolutely dominant in the air and the other is really quick across the ground and who is a good tackler. One of those two needs to be a decent passer of the ball. Both centre halves need to be good readers of the game and they must combine well together. Right footer and Left footer is ideal. When we have those players in place we’ll be set up to play 4 at the back. Branaghan, Keeley, Fazackerley, Rathbone wasn’t a bad example at this level Bournemouth would have had a harder time against those four yesterday.

I agree with all of that, especially about the back 4 versus a back 5. We changed to a back 5 because the back 4 were getting dicked.

I was more on about bringing players in.

Cheapskates. When will they realise the most important person at the club is the manager ?

Yeah, could be Brian Kidd all over again.

If “ good things “ are coming why wait whilst now ? January was the time for “ good things “ to happen. We signed 5 make weights.

The lad’s a good defender, no doubt about that. Best one on one defender we have.

Brexit’s stymied that line of thought.

Yeah crazy ones. He spent loads of time and money at unfair dismissal tribunals trying to defend his actions. He lost every one. It cost a fortune.

Rovers at the moment is like the last engineering company I worked at. Nut case of an owner making crazy decisions all the time, it was like a bath with both taps on full but somebody had left the plug out. It should, and could, have been a gold mine. In the end it went bang.

Nobody who isn’t desperate to pay the mortgage will be looking at Rovers. Who want’s to work for The Chicken Chokers if they have a choice.

Like the team yesterday.

As they’ve had 12 years to “ put a proper structure in place” something tells me that isn’t going to happen. It’s a zombie club.

Any company on the planet would go to the wall within about 3 months if they were run like Rovers.

He’s part of the problem in my opinion. Did we look a well coached team yesterday ? We can’t even get the basics right.

He’ll never get to where he wants to be until he sorts out his attitude. The number of cards he gets is ridiculous.

I had bbc radio 4 on early this morning. Amongst the usual Sunday morning god bothering there was an interesting article on the efforts being made at Blackburn Rovers to attract more young Asian fans.

It hurts to say it but “ failure “ is written through the club like a stick of Blackpool rock. It needs a change of mentality from losers to winners. Until the Chokers leave nothing will change. What would happen at your place of work tomorrow if the senior management didn’t turn up ? No doubt there’d be guys like you who would still put a shift in but how many would be picking their horses in the toilets ?

Look at that list - Now try to think of somebody who isn’t on it. That’ll be our man.

This is the way I look at it - Has he increased the number of fans that want to watch Blackburn Rovers ?
