I'm not sure I can watch another game without a striker on the pitch.

Even PNE have 3 strikers that would start in our team - it's galling.

What strikers?

Yep, zero chance I'm rushing back from work to get to Ewood on Tuesday. Fuck. That.

Why would he come here?

JDT scores that 1-on-1. He probably also doesn't fall on his arse and allow a free cross into the box. All on him though, right? I don't know how people can watch these same shit players make the same basic errors and blame the manager. He HAS to use them because there's nobody else (and sadly the starting XI aren't cyborgs and occasionally get injured / need a rest).

It's difficult to take such a hard stance when there's nobody else - what are you going to do, put Walker out there against Burnley?

I won't be renewing my ST until I know he is here.

We're just not good enough - that's shocking from Hedges and then S. Wharton.

He's going to 5 at the back again.

But not surprising - if Gallagher isn't on the pitch we're literally playing without a striker.

That's a wonderful finish - but good god that was brilliant from Wharton to turn an error from Morton into an incisive attack.

The one that can't get near an 18 year old?

He hides out wide - then loses a header at the back post as a 6'3" winger against a FB. Beggars belief.

Maybe Ince had it right - SHOOT!

Oh NOW you cunts know what handball is. Fuck off.

I'm asking what any manager could do with this squad - Ferguson is the best I've ever seen, so I used him as the benchmark.

Looks like we won't be buying him in the summer then.

You haven't answered the question.

It doesn't have to be your personal mission to shoot down any positive posts about Dolan. Let it go.

Out of interest, where do you think this team would finish if Alex Ferguson had been managing it all season? (with the same lack of transfers)

I'd switch to a 4-2-3-1, personally. Get Hedges and Brereton-Diaz on.

He's a good utility player at this level - who knows if he can push on to be more than that.

That's shit from Morton - but why are we stopping the game because Parrott blocked the ball with his face? Get on with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's moved on in the summer. He's clearly a decent Championship CM, but he's not good enough on the ball to play in this system without having to adjust for him.
