  1. If you watch it back carefully the chasing pack are all running towards goal, Gallagher suddenly stops running, the Coventry centre halves keep going back towards their goal and have lost him, then the lad on the wing picks him out perfectly.
  2. He's obviously playing in a role that suits his ability now. Playing on the wing or up front didn't. I reckon Dack could play a similar role if he's back to his best. He's got everything that Brererton has and more.
  3. I think it's more to do with him being asked to do a job that he's actually capable of doing. IE pick the ball up higher up the pitch in midfield and run with it. If you look at that famous " highlights " reel basically that was all it consisted of. I just think that if Dack was still fit and playing for us Brererton would still out on the wing or up front and looking lost.
  4. I think they've drawn all their home games.
  5. I've never abused a player at a game. I don't see the point, it's hardly likely to make them play better. That's at a game, they have to be there , they don't have to come on here and read what people write on here . Getting back to the game. The fourth goal was a classic example of how effective wing play can be. We get in up the sideline, everybody is running back towards goal, The Coventry back four are looking out to where the danger is. Gallagher just stops running and lets all the Coventry defenders run away from him. A huge gap opens right in front of him and he can hardly miss. He's obviously learnt something about finding space but we needed to get their back four turned around and running back towards their own goal first. . More wing play please Rovers.
  6. If Armstrong had have put that penalty away in mid week he would be holding the record.
  7. Anybody who's been in my company on a Saturday night when we've lost would tell you differently !
  8. To be honest people have been waiting for over two years for Brererton to show them something out on the pitch, I think they're entitled to wonder if it was £7 million down the drain.
  9. I think we've enough of a goal threat without starting with Gallagher, Bring him on if we need to ale house it late on. If Brererton can't play two games in succession at his age there's something wrong.
  10. If he plays Gallagher on the wing again I'll lose the will to live.
  11. I don't mind just as long as they don't expect me to wear flared jeans and listen to Slade ! On a more serious note I've noticed that teams are finding it much harder to win at home in our league this season, will that continue ?
  12. Yes, that's true but if we can win well in the next couple of games it'll be a good pointer that we are improving. The Rovers of recent times usually find a way to let things slip through their fingers.
  13. Like I said we'll know how good we are this time next week. Beat Reading and Swansea and we'll be looking good to go. I'm sorry but I'm not getting carried away with caning Wycombe.
  14. You need to calm down , we were playing Wycombe not Barcelona. We'll see how good we are on Tuesday.
  15. Yes, I do really dislike that element of modern football, diving and the ridiculous wages are two of the reasons why I'm not the football fan I used to be. Most of the fouls today are joke fouls. You see giants like Brererton falling over under the most minimum contact imaginable. Contact that wouldn't knock over a 12 year old kid. It's just cheating really. Then I go and watch low level Rugby League on Sunday and I wonder how the players don't end up in hospital every week. Of course some do.
  16. I can't stand divers no matter who they are playing for.
  17. I'd say the sending off had everything to do with it going from 3-0 to 5-0. They gave up at that point.
  18. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my helmet either ! Regarding Johnny Price I saw him play loads of times when he was at Stockport County and he was always a handful. He never gave less than gave 100%. They had three really good players who kept Counties head above water at that time. Pricey, Alan Ogley in goal who was ex Man City and Freddie Goodwin who was ex Wolves and who later came to Rovers. They were all outstanding in the old Division 4.
  19. Lets not forget that two of the bangings came against teams that had been reduced to ten men yet continued to play like they still had eleven. Instead of shutting up shop and trying to minimise the damage like anybody with half a brain would do, they both failed to do that.
  20. He could have been half way to that 25 goals already given the chances he's had.
  21. They seem to have the happy knack of not conceding a goal in spite of having lacklustre spells in the game. When they do click they'll still in the game and one goal is then enough. A bit like Howard Kendall's promotion team.
  22. Yes there are lots, like " being stumped for an answer " " Get on the front foot " etc
