Really good header! Will it persuade TM to play him and others in his/their correct position?

I think he was going for a shot

Gallagher on and no Chapman or Travis? I’d have brought those two and Graham on at half time.

Always interesting to see the other teams view, as we, as supporters tend to maybe be more critical. Good to to see Williams get a goal, he has got his head to so many crosses and corners the last few seasons, but has had a head like a fifty pence piece! Hopefully he can chip in with a few more, Downing’s excellent deliveries will help. Speaking of those two, it’s almost like the Mulgrew debacle has helped these two players. I’m sure Charlie would still be playing at CB ahead of DW and taking set pieces ahead of SD. Hopefully all our key players can stay fit as we are a bit threadbare at the back. Amazing what a few wins and clean sheets can do, I was dreading these last two matches and now the weekend can’t come quickly enough

So Rothwell and Armstrong will be brought on after 60 minutes when we are chasing the game? We’ll huff and puff in the first half and have a bit of the ball, but not create anything of note and then Middlesborough will score. Same script as usual.

Playing at CB definitely seemed a bit alien to him last season.

A few of us on here used to bemoan Tugay’s “invisible friend” at one point. I think that was when he’d got his hair cut short. It was like he was our very own Samson! A joy to watch, he could chill out for a bit, just in the centre circle, would could still run the match. Has anyone a video of his warm ups? I seem to remember a poster on here commenting that his warm up technique was worth the price of a ticket alone? My little boy Jack is 9, has never shown an interest in football. I’ve never pushed it on him, though I chat with him about it often. However just recently he’s discovered he loves playing football, without watching very much football. But anyway, during a little coaching session in the park, I showed him some Tugay goals on YouTube. It blew his little mind, just like it did ours ❤️ He wants a Rovers kit now, purely out of loyalty to me, I’ll probably shed a little tear when I see him play in it ☺️

Apparently he ate himself

He’s either daft or trolling us at this point. No Rovers fan would have chosen that line up with the squad available.

This Is Venky’s, how long did they stick with Kean? Thank goodness we had a decent start to the season.

We have. Unfortunately TM either hasn’t, or he’s just lost the plot. Edit: Sorry quoted wrong post. I was meaning that we’d all established that Smallwood and Evans doesn’t work.

It’s getting worse than under Gary the grinder. At least we used to give it a right good go.

Either that or 4-0 at half time and coasting, then we have a nervous last 20 minutes and win 4-3

It’s like the Grabbi thing in reverse!!

The automatic team that a video game would pick would be a lot more acceptable. I don’t really understand it. I’m all for trying things out(look at Ian Pearce! :lol:). But, why can’t we just try players in their natural position. It’s difficult to understand what the manager is thinking and wanting to happen.

Exactly the questions we need answers to. I’ve no idea about any speculation about Dack, as I haven’t read anything over the last week on here. Has there been any PL interest/rumours? Unfortunately, that kind of thing is going to play on the mind of most players. Especially nowadays where image is everything. He probably wouldn’t enjoy playing at say West Ham, as much as he does here. But, imagine the Instagram potential when he’s playing against Citeh and Man Yoo? If I were him, I’d feel forever grateful of how my manager maybe kept me out of prison, standing by me and saving the the outstanding potential I have. Showing that commitment and loyalty works both ways. You’ve just got to hope he hasn’t got another southern girlfriend, or even a glamour puss girlfriend. We aren’t that fashionable(surely Barry can get us a Louis Vuitton sponsership? Raya can wear leather gloves!). Can’t we start a campaigne to find Bradley a nice local lass? Stunningly hot, but leads a nice quiet life. And is completely against social media and is a Buddhist? On a positive note, we have a great bunch of lads, Charlie and co. will be having a word I’m sure, though it may just pass through the ears.

We should have one of those internet chip arounds and send him a few beers! He looked pretty happy. I think he had a Rovers shirt on underneath

If we sign this Bauer guy and his squad number was 24, I’d be tempted to get a shirt with his name on :lol:

Your friend sounds a barrel of laughs! or maybe you watched the match with RFW?

Is today’s match being shown live?

I’m only getting the option to listen live after using the Netherlands on my VPN and buying a match pass for €6. Have I done something wrong? Edit: All good, watch live has appeared after clicking about a bit.

Is there a decent guide to using this in the UK? I used it for Rochdale away, but completely forgot what I set my VPN to etc I’m finding it impossible to buy the match pass on mobile, just keeps creating a new top menu. Can’t rememeber how I did it last time EDIT: All sorted! Now I just need to get a few beers
