Worrying moment from Pears.

We all know this but I’m repeating to anyway. Between Dolan, Markanday and Leonard there isn’t any physical threat. No trouble for a defence the size of this WBA one. 

Yeah no trouble at all lol 👀

Dolan starting as well then

No issue with Markanday starting after a decent pre season. It’s reward for his obvious hard work over the last few weeks 

And I guess there’s the confirmation of the Gallagher injury mentioned earlier in the week.

Reading his Wiki page, it seems like he’s been highly rated, a captain for the Barca youth teams, relocated to England and was with Liverpool for a while, but suffered with injuries. Obviously been highly rated before we picked him up.

I mentioned him on the transfer thread. Wondered if he was one who may kick on this season. Can’t fault his pedigree, captain of Barca youth so must have something about him.

Best shirt in a long time tbf. Really like that one so will probably get it ordered.

So the hand and arm wasn’t Dolan or Phillips it was Callum Brittain 

My IPTV has it listed as a 10:30 so I’m not sure it’ll be showing. It’s not on yet anyway.

I will say that Stanley's food is reasonable price and simple menu. Tho I couldn't watch Stanley play regular. Not for me. They had 6 players on trial today. Such a dull team to watch. 

Mate, it’s a pre-season friendly. I think judging Stanley on that is a bit unfair. Would you judge us on that?

Pickering gifted them two goals. He’s at fault for both of those. 

Such a poor goal to give away. Fucking about at the back (again!!)

What a horrible stat. Only Burnley and Sheffield United have spent more time in the top 6 than us this season.

Yet it’s still JDT saying that we are lucky to be where we are and that we’re overachieving.

Diaz through the middle maybe? 

It’s an 11/1 bet for us to make the playoffs. That’s the odds on the results going our way (PNE draw or win, Swansea draw or win, rovers win)

Where did we finish last year? On current form we might be on track to finish low than the mogdagon days

8th last year 

Dolan looking dangerous from wide shocker!! 

Dolan is lost as a central forward. Looked awful so far

It was 2 games that he performed well both from the left and including a good goal and good assist for Pickering to score the winner against Sheffield United 

congratulations on renewing your season ticket 

Yes I am fully aware of how many goals we have scored thanks 

Dolan is playing there cos Gallagher and Vale are injured and we didn't bring in a striker in January. I would be tempted to play Leonard today the more I think about it.  

So the two games you quoted were games that Dolan played well from the left yet you advocate playing him through the middle today.

I think that’s the point people are making (well I am anyway). Dolan has been far better out wide so can’t understand why you would put him through the middle again.

Id play him but not through the middle 

Chaddy, genuine question (as I’m not sure of the answer) in the games you’ve mentioned did Dolan play through the middle? I’m sure in both those games he would have been playing wide.

Im not against Dolan playing but don’t think he should be played through the middle as he doesn’t have the physical attributes to play there in my opinion.

Travis is looking shaky. 

If we don’t play Garratt in there then I think JRC might be pushed into the middle. I think Sammie is too weak for the CM role. Leave him further forward. O’Brien cock up bites us on the arse again.

It's annoying that Tony brought on a useless 19 year old who stood a mile offside when an otherwise good goal was scored. Burnley escape again.

But if that useless 19 year old isn’t stood there then the ball doesn’t end up in the back of the net. Keeper saves it easily all day long.
