Tyrone Shoelaces

Set pieces have been shit since Charlie left.

You were sacking him earlier this season.

How do we know that Markanday would have been any better than Dolan, Poveda, Khadra ?

Neither will we unless something changes.

Well done Tony, it’s taken me whilst now to get the courage to read this.

10/10

I expected us to drift away from the second spot eventually and I thought we only had a 50/50 chance of staying in the playoff zone. The teams chasing us have better management teams and at the end of the day that’s what counts, everything else being more or less equal. Having said that I’m shocked that our results have fallen off a cliff like they have. I didn’t watch last nights game as I had a prior engagement. I was prepared to give the false number nine game one last throw of the dice but now it’s time for a change. It’s a shame but one of the centre halves will have to go. When you have 8 players that rarely if ever get into the last third of the pitch goals are always going to be thin on the ground. I think it’s time to go 4-3-3 again.

OK, so put a couple of our shorter forwards on the half way line for corners. It’s not like they’re much use as defenders anyway. Bringing everybody back just enables them to crowd the keeper. They’d have to bring two or three players, probably defenders, back to cover our players. Then you’ve got room for your keeper to play his normal game

So much for team spirit. I’m off on a jolly, see you later lads.

He’s got to go. You can’t keep rewarding failure. It’s either him or me at the end of this season. The club ain’t big enough for both of us.

He does it every time, half a dozen squad fillers who are no better than what we already have instead of a couple of players who are really going to make a difference.

That’s a pretty low bar. I’ve seen some real shite served up by Rovers in the last ten years.

We didn’t sign him.

I’m tired of having this conversation every Spring. He should have gone years ago.

A job for the captain for me.

People laughed when I said “ well at least we can’t be relegated “ about a month ago.

They could both find that killer pass when teams came to park the bus.

We brought in players to “ help the lads out “ again. Is Giles any better than Pickering ? Hedges any better than Khadra ? ZwFuik better than Nyambe ? The lad from Spurs any better than Dolan ? Last time we were in this position we brought in Berkovic who went straight into the first team and ran the show for us in midfield. One class act that made all the difference.

If you’ve got 8 players who rarely get in the last third of the pitch the 3 that do are always going to be up against it.

If you say so.

It’s not just about being physically ready, he needs to be mentally ready as well. Only the player can tell you if he’s up for it. The pressure will be immense.

On current form we won’t finish in the playoffs. We need to start scoring goals again ASAP.

There are no easy games if you aren’t scoring.

I’m not so sure about that.

Well we definitely needed a goalkeeper. No argument there.
