I wouldn’t be playing JRC at the moment. Is Weimann ready for a start ? Also I don’t think starting both of Gueye and Ohashi is possible at the moment. Neither of them has much more than an hour in their legs. I’d start with Gueye and hold Ohashi back. I think Dolan has played himself out of a starting role on Saturday, maybe time to give Siggy a whirl there. He looked more focussed in that cameo he had.

Or Sammi playing his heart out at Leicester with both legs strapped.

Wilson Pickett - In The Midnight Hour

It’s funny how Markanday put in two cracking goal scoring corners yesterday for Chesterfield. Did he ever take them for us ?

Why, were you in goal ?

I keep saying this but Brian Clough said - “ Nobody can lose you a game quicker than your goalkeeper so sign the best one you can get “ . That was after people questioned him paying a record fee to sign Peter Shilton. He was right then and he’s still right now.

You could well be right about his ability but my point was if he is successful he’ll be off next season. We’ll never be able to build a team as long as the Chicken Chokers are calling the shots because they sell every decent player we get.

That was the game. It’s still handy having a midfield player who can carry it from your half to their half at speed. None of Tronstad, Travis or JRC can do that.

It doesn’t work quite like that at Rovers. In the very unlikely event of us spending £6 million on a striker and he has a good season he’ll be off next August - see Sammi. If he doesn’t have a good season he’ll hang around like a bad smell - see Gally.

Stupid play. Like Buckley getting three games for bouncing the ball on an opponents head. Mindless shit. He’d got his chance of playing again after being out of the team for a while. Then he goes and does that and he’s out of the team again !

Did Reed play ? I saw he was on the bench.

And then next season ———- silence.

I’m not sure. It might have been for something he said afterwards. They’d been trying to wind him up all game. Sly shoves off the ball that went unseen by the officials etc. He should know better really. Buckley’s the same.

From what we’ve seen so far, neither of the two new strikers have more than 60 minutes in them. In that case we need subs that can take over.

That’s the point. There aren’t any players like that now. They’re just wannabe hard lads. Look at that with Scher and Brererton yesterday - pathetic. I’d be totally embarrassed. You get charged over like that, you pick yourself up and take the free kick and you wait for your chance to really hurt the bastard. It’ll come, just be patient.

We had a similar chance at the end of the first half but their centre half dived in to block Tronstad’s attempt. We should have done better collectively as a back 5.

Just a typical Travis performance. Good bits, bad bits and a pointless yellow card. Real hard players don’t get involved with stupid shit like that. They make the cards count.

The game passed him by yesterday. Especially in the second half when they were all over us. I thought the subs should have been done earlier.

It never made me tired. It’s a myth.

One thing about the Japanese, Korean, Chinese players I’ve seen - they’ll run all day and they’re 100% ers.
