We didn’t really get going that season until December.

When you’re winning everybody wants to play. The little niggles get forgotten then.

Edun and Johnson in the right positions will be handy when the games mount up.

Covid and the Saturday before Xmas.

Have you ever noticed how the injuries seem to dry up when the team is up near the top of the league ?

I heard it on Radio Lancs, I thought it was more upbeat than his normal offerings.

We’ve got Ayala for cover with Carter and Johnson at a pinch.

I’m still hoping Butterworth will come good.

Yes, we can do that now. The penny seems to have dropped with Mowbray at long last. It’s only if Nyambe has to go off that we have to re-shuffle a bit. Every other position we have a stand in that can play in a similar fashion to the first eleven player.

No square pegs in round holes anymore. Every players knows what is required of them and is capable of delivering the goods. I think we’ve got reasonable back up in most positions also.

What games take place in the immediate future is all in the lap of the gods now. To be honest I think a “ firebreak “ makes sense.

I’m starting to think I’d be happy just to keep the lads we have. Maybe if we could loan in another “ Berkovic “ style signing. If we do whoever it is will have to be prepared to work as hard as the rest of the team.

That’s coming I’m afraid, never mind what Parry says. Just at the worst possible time for us ! Venky’s luck.

Having a system that suits the skill set of the players you have and sticking with it week in, week out works. Who’d have thought it !

We’re talking the Football League here, they do what they like.

The ashes were lost before they got on the plane.

What if they change the rules because of the emerging situation ? Fingers crossed they don’t.

I don’t know what the weather is like in Blackburn but over here in Rochdale it’s glorious. Sunny with just a slight breeze. It’s perfect for a game of football. If we can’t play on form today we might as well give up.

Yes, that’s a good point.

The Aussies could declare now and still have more than enough runs in the bag.

Barring a miracle the Aussie’s won’t have to bat again. I can see this being another 5-0 series.

Strange appointment. Going off their display against Barrow last night he’s got a big job on his hands.

Come home lads.

I don’t recall Big Ron doing many step overs in his playing career.
