Tyrone Shoelaces

Those kids are the future. They’ll want to be back after today.

That’s poor. 8 at the back again.

Some good names on it Chaddy but they seem settled where they are.

I look at some of those, and I think why would they come to Rovers ?

And.

Not a classic.

The other side of that coin is we no longer create many clear cut chances. Especially given we are impotent from set pieces.

The defence is solid because most of the team are playing as defenders one way or another.

Do you still think we’ll be challenging for the play offs ?

I see your pal made it !

Mm.

We’re making one maybe two good chances per game. If we don’t take them we’re relying on our defence to have an error free game. It’s not happening at our level.

You can play Dolan in the sheepdog role.

His passing is his strength. He needs to be deeper for us to get the best out of him.

I’d play Buckley deeper and leave Rothwell out.

How many bookings have we had for “ little lad “ fouls ? Look at Rothwell’s last couple. Little trips from behind. Brererton’s another, kicking the ball away, arguing with the ref. It’s pathetic . Buckley is the same - 10 bookings and probably not one for a real foul. If you’re going to get booked at least make it worthwhile.

I’ve been saying it for years Jim. Name me one of his signings that opponents wouldn’t want to play against because of their physicality. Maybe Smallwood, Van Hecke can hold his own, then you’ve said it.

I’ve had a serious injury and staying part of the team and joining in with the camaraderie makes being injured more bearable.

I’de be thinking this guy’s off in Summer.

I know what I’d be thinking.

I’d still gamble on him doing a better job than Mowbray.

It’s the signal it sends to the rest of the group.

So you’ve got three centre backs marking one striker ? That’s even if they play with a striker.

Some the strikers I played with you’d need a chainsaw to get the ball off them if a penalty had been awarded. Greedy bastards.

I’m not bothered about another pen- I was there when John Coddington took his pen. No miss would come near to that. I just don’t want another red card for our opponents.
