  1. I'd play Buckley ahead of JRC in CM to be honest.
  2. Mowbray didn't build that Sunderland side...
  3. I've been calling for it for some time. He's worked at RB, but he's not a better one that Brittain - and he has more quality on the ball than Thomas / Dolan / Hedges so should be replacing one of those further up the pitch. Obviously they've tried him at CM today and it's worked, but I don't think that's his long-term position (although I could be wrong).
  4. Of course he will - Mowbray only ever looks out for himself.
  5. Yep - good squad / utility player. His energy vs tired legs is his super power.
  6. I take if you've not actually been watching the games over the last 6 weeks?
  7. It would have been nice to get there, but we're not winning them - we don't score enough goals. I'm glad the season is over. Time to back the manager in the summer (and bloody convince him to stay!) and rebuild the forward line.
  8. To be honest we're already living my biggest fear and have been since the Venky's arrived - Rovers can't hurt me anymore.
  9. Why do you feel the need to take all the credit away from our performance? We mullered them. It was the same calibre of performance we've been putting in for months - Ben Brereton-Diaz decided to show up and we won - fancy that, a goalscorer making the difference.
  10. Honestly if we had a goal scoring #9 we'd be comfortably in the playoffs. If we had a quality wide player to go with it we'd be pushing for automatic promotion.
  11. Honestly we were the much better side all game - we gifted them two goals and the third (their first) should have been dealt with as it was a throw-in.
  12. Why? He clearly can't get around the pitch anymore. He's been a very good player for us - a legend of the last 12 years (my how far we've fallen), but he can't play in this system.
  13. The system needs two ball-playing CMs to properly work (and two athletic FBs that basically play as WBs) - it's no wonder we looked better with two CMs that can pass in there.
  14. And Ayala's. Touch of class that from JDT.
  15. Why? They've lost to us twice this season.
  16. Hedges and Dolan are useful squad players. Szmodics is a very good player at this level - he needs runners around him.
  17. I'd like to at least finish on equal points to last year.
  18. Mainly because he has a far more talented squad. Obviously he had nothing to do with assembling it and had a huge hand in assembling ours, but that's football for you.
  19. You could always count on PNE to fail.
  20. A wonder goal scored by the loanee he had nothing to do with. Isn't football cruel?
  21. He's a good man, but I think he's too quiet.
  22. Brereton-Diaz is as soft as they come - he's hidden out wide for 6 months running down his contract. What makes you think he's going to be up for a battle at #9 against two big CBs?
  23. You've more faith in our recruitment team than I do after January.
