I'll give you a million to one against that being our starting line up. -

To be honest I'm not sure we can put two good halves together never mind two good games. We're very consistent in our inconsistency. -

Looks like Olsen has forgotten to put his shorts on. -
How Nobby Stiles wasn't the first is a mystery to me, and Eusebio no doubt.
-
I can tell you the first - Alan Mullery.

That's great if you can hold on to them. -

I'd take a repeat of yesterdays effort and determination whatever the score turns out to be. Play like that again and Bournemouth will know they've been in a game. Trouble with Rovers is we rarely put two good performances in together. -

That doesn't surprise me, Boro have a manager who knows what you need to get out of this division. -

I'll stick my neck now, we won't get anything like our money back for Big Ben. People say " We need to play him in his best position ". What is his best position ? Does anybody actually know ? Does the lad know himself ? He's not a handful in advanced midfield like Dack. He likes to run with the ball out wide but he's not a winger. He can't play with his back to goal as a target man. He's not a predator like Armstrong. I'm still lost as to what the plan was when we signed him. -

You and I both know that won't happen. The further down the food chain you fall the sooner the big clubs sign up your promising young players. The days of bringing the likes of Duff and Dunn through and holding on to them for a few seasons are long gone. Any of our kids impress this season in the first team and they'll be gone next Summer. -
Any sort of a foot race and you could see he was rapid. I'd back him against Vardy or King over 40 yards. He's got a very long stride.
-
I thought he was our least effective outfield player yesterday. Even the Leicester guys commented on how he did nothing to prevent a dangerous cross coming in from the guy he was supposed to be marking.

It's the same problem with Evans as it is with Johnson albeit Evans is a better player. Too many playing too deep.
-
Playing Holtby, Travis and Johnson in midfield means we've too many bodies playing too deep in central midfield. Possibly that's ok for away games like today but it won't do at Ewood against teams that park the bus. We could do with a mobile ball winner like Chowdrey to cover every blade of grass.

Me too, they were obviously watching both teams.

I watched the game on youtube earlier this evening. We stuck at the task well and matched Leicester for large parts of the game. That was encouraging. There were lots of good individual performances but we lacked a cutting edge up front. I like Holtby playing deep but we need more mobility from the other two that are playing in central midfield. Neither of Johnson or Travis got forward enough today. Nobody was carrying the ball forward, we were reduced to passing it forward lots of the time. Quite a few of the passes were picked off and set Leicester back on attack. After the subs we looked a bit livelier up front and Rothwell had one really good run were he carried the ball into the heart of their defence. Chapman and Dolan looked busy. Buckley looked class when he came on, so much so that they had to man mark him after about 10 minutes. Fisher 5 Nyambe 7, Magloire 7, Williams 7, Bell 6 Travis 6, Holtby 7, Johnson 5 Rankin Costello 7, Armstrong 6, Brererton 5 Can't really mark the subs because they didn't have enough game time but they all had an impact at some point.

And then they all get signed by the big boys this time next year. Then it's back to square one.
-
Good players carry their own space around with them. He seems to have that ability. He's never rushed either, always playing within himself.

When we won the Prem where was the competition for places then ? Barring injuries the team picked itself every week.
