I agree that he's got to be handled with care until he's physically capable of playing 90 minutes regularly. -

Where was Mimms going - to buy a pie ? -

You've got to be making more than one good chance per game if you've got the likes of Gallagher, Brererton and Rothwell getting on the end of them. -

I think he has a big future also. Especially in todays football were the ability to pass the ball accurately is becoming all important. -

There's a reason why crossing the ball has gone out of fashion. It's seen as something of a lottery and therefore wasteful by the " Keep Ball " lovers of possession based football. What I meant by alehouse football was the long ball down the middle type tactics. They have their place if you have the players to exploit it. -
That " Three Billboards Outside Ebbing " is on again soon. That's well worth watching.

Tony Mowbray Discussion
Tyrone Shoelaces replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's a much of a one as Brererton is, with added goals. -

Yes I agree, sometimes you have to play a bit of alehouse style football if the passing game isn't getting you anywhere. -

That's a good point. Having said that under those conditions even the footballing teams aren't going to chance playing it out from the back. Maybe we should have expected the game to go that way and made plans to get at them more directly. -

You need players in certain areas of the pitch irrespective of Cardiff only having one striker. -
Tony Mowbray Discussion
Tyrone Shoelaces replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I don't really see why not. He can do everything that Brererton does and more. -
Tony Mowbray Discussion
Tyrone Shoelaces replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
In Brererton's place. He's bound to contribute more. He might even have the odd shot at scoring a goal. -

I'm surprised we didn't go to a more aggressive approach once it was still 0-0 after an hour or so, especially after the red card. Dolan and Chapman on the wings and Gallagher or Brererton up front along side Armstrong. A sort of 3-3-4 line up. Lets face it, they didn't have much going on up front for us to worry about. I just think Mowbray is too cautious at times like this. Armstrong isn't physical enough to be the focal point of the attack in games were the opposition shut up shop and are happy to defend their penalty area for long periods of time. When teams are trying to match us on football terms that's not too obvious but on days like yesterday it's pretty clear. David Speedie or Paul Dickov he isn't. We needed a plan B. Just hoping for a lucky bounce of the ball in a packed penalty area isn't a plan. -

if you know what you're doing you can make the extra man count. Spread the play, make the pitch big. Conditions wouldn't have helped with that today though. -

Davis Speedie showing glimpses of what was to come. If Bobby Mimms had have stayed on his line he could have headed that cross away ! -
Owd Photos o’t’ Rovers
Tyrone Shoelaces replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think that's Walter Joyce hiding behind Ray Pointer in the dingles photo. Adam Blacklaw on it also. I spotted a very young Mike Ferguson on that Accrington Stanley photo. George Hudson in that photo was an ex Rover. -

I'd play Hoilett up against Bell. -

Nice cross from Chris Sulley. I thought the pen was a bit harsh, the sort only home teams get. -

Defending against specific opposition threats should be a team game. The rest of the team need to be on their toes preventing Moore getting any sort of service. -

The only comparable goal keeping performance I can remember was that Polish goalkeeper in that England v Poland World Cup game in the seventies. He was diving the wrong way for shots and they were hitting his feet etc ! -

I was at that 5-5 with Arsenal in the sixties. We were 3-0 up after 30 minutes, Dougie murdered them on his own. Arse got it back to 3-3 after half time. Then 4-3, 4-4, 5-4 with about 5 minutes left. Arsenal equalised with the last kick of the game ! Bob Jones in goal parried a shot right to George Eastham on the penalty spot, he didn't miss from there. I can still see that goal in my mind's eye. It felt like losing ! I was behind the goal Arsenal were attacking at the Darwen End for some reason, maybe studying full back play watching Keith Newton. -

I agree. Some days you batter teams,the ball just won't run for you, and you lose. Remember the Crewe game anybody. No reason not to go with our more attacking system. -

That was a very attacking line up, no wonder we scored 5. -
It was interesting to see " Balaclava Street " on the BBC North west news last night. I lived on Carr Street, not far from there, until I was 5 and we moved to Rochdale. I'll always be a Blackburn lad. Getting off the bus or train at the Boulevard I always felt like I was coming home.
