  1. I don't think home advantage counts for much these days.
  2. It's fast becoming a game were you don't tackle, especially in the penalty area.
  3. Yeah, there's nothing like scoring goals but I still got a big buzz if I could make one for somebody else with a good pass or cross.
  4. I was only thinking about this the other day. How old would you need to be to remember a Rovers team playing attractive football on a regular basis. I'd say you need to be about 15 at least before you can form an intelligent, informed, opinion as to what's going on out on the pitch. So you'd have at least 30 years of age to remember a really classy Rovers team. Anybody younger than that will have seen tons of rubbish with just the odd good performance thrown in. That explains how lots of people are happy with our current form.
  5. Yeah, when they get back to their original club it'll be " If you don't shape yourself that's what life has in store for you ". A bit like Rovers sending Chapman to Shrewsbury.
  6. BCD games have thrown up some strange results. My local team, Rochdale, have won 5 games away yet only 1 at home.
  7. You can change all the soloists in the orchestra if you like but if the conductor isn't up to the job the music will never sound right. I've said it before but I was underwhelmed by the standard of football on show when we got promoted. I would have made a change then. Nothing I've seen since has caused me reconsider that opinion. Yes we have better players, but the overall standard of play hasn't improved much at all.
  8. Yes, given the strength of the league that's fantastic.
  9. Yes, they're expecting big things of him.
  10. They've just sold the lad Baah to City.
  11. I always had the feeling he was just passing through.
  12. Well Burnley don't and it hasn't done them any harm. They playing at a higher level and yrt it's always Tarkowski and Mee barring injuries every game
  13. Yes, he was a really good winger in his day, fast and tricky. He had a trick were he'd deliberately over run the ball then bring it through with his trailing leg. I've never seen anybody else do it. The defender would hesitate thinking Tommy had lost the ball, he'd be past them before they realised he hadn't. Even watching from the stands he did me every time !
  14. I thought Vale got a bit lucky with the right foot shot, should have gone with his left really.
  15. Great pass for the first goal. What the keeper was doing I don't know, must have got a deflection off the full back.
  16. Yes Brian Hill was a lightweight, I never really saw him have a good game. Don Hutchins was another left winger who left you longing for the likes of Mike Harrison. I liked Don Martin but I always thought he would have been better playing off a centre forward rather than leading the line himself. Adam Blacklaw was on the way down in more ways than one. Having said that, Newton and Wilson were the best full back pairing in that league and better than some in the First Division. Alan Hunter was the best centre half in the Division and I'd give a lot to have Ken Knighton and Eamon Rogers in our midfield now. Meccy was on the way up and John Connelly still had goals in his game although his blistering pace had gone. Our coaching was old hat, somebody like Malcolm Allison would have sorted the job out. Looking at Blackpool, Green and Hutchison were great players as was Alan Suddick, a real class act in midfield.
  17. Good player, better than any of our central midfield players.
  18. There's a lad at Rochdale called Humphries who I think would do ok at an higher level maybe next season. Too soon at the moment though. The prodigy they have called Baah looks to be going to City, he's very raw but he could be a real player in the future.
  19. Who knows ? It does give us that option. I think one of them will be on the bench but with Lenihan you've always a chance of a card or an injury. It makes you wonder what's going on with Ayala.
  20. I was thinking along those lines Jim but he's 37. I think it might be a Danny Graham to Sunderland move. IE A season too far. The Glenn Murray of a couple of years back would have done me. We'll soon see. Where's the new Marcus Bent ?
  21. If you could have signed one of those four who would it have been ?
  22. I'll let you know when I've actually seen him play. Bell was supposed to be the long term left back solution and we also had a dabble with Hart. Regarding full backs our recent record isn't great, especially if you throw Caddis into the equation. I'm keeping my money in my pocket at the moment.
  23. Kazim-Richards. Christian Bloody Dailly !
  24. Tommy Hutch - he was a real handful . Blackpool got him from the Scottish lower leagues for peanuts. I remember Eamon Rogers playing against him as an emergency right back and more than holding his own. That tells you what a versatile player Eamon was.
  25. For me Fred Pickering was as good as Shearer in every way bar one. Fred was brilliant when he was in the mood but he had days when it wasn't working for him. Shearer rarely had off days. There could be games when he'd not see the ball for ages then bang, he'd get a pass and the ball would be in the back of the net.
