Why?

Any reply to my questions above @JAL or you just ignoring them cos you give reasons why?

I only said I understood his point he was making. Yes Dack has to do both jobs for us. 2 very tough games for us now. I think Mowbray will play Bennett wide right instead of Rothwell in my team. Has Davenport play a game since his injury? Big risk to play him. Maybe a game for under 21's 1st. Reed for Smallwood possibly.

Firstly I only said I understood his points. I disagree with the 10 role having the least defensive responsibility attached. Dack will have to help out in centre midfield against Villa and Derby game. Bennett was outstanding in the 10 role tho we did play different way with a more solid base and playing on counter attack. Shame you miss that game. I enjoyed the performance alot and one of our best under Mowbray Yes we do need balance. Its a toss up between Reed and Smallwood at the minute. I think I prefer Bennett in there with Evans atm.

He said false 9. I can understand his points he made and the team he selected. I thought he was fine against Liverpool in that role. I wouldnt be playing Graham in this game but Brereton up front with Armstrong wide right exposing the slowness of their left side of their defence. We have to use Graham from the bench for the 1st 2 games. Dack in the 10 role will need to be good defensively aswell as attacking wise. Wouldnt surprise me if Bruce man mark him tbh.

Jimmy Anderson now hold the record for the most test wickets by a pace bowler

If Root wants 6 bowlers then Ali will bat at 3. I think thats will the way he go in Sri Lanka. It will the same team apart from Burns for Cook and possible Leach for Rashid. Also Smith's comments during the test to media seems to suggest Jennings will go to Sri Lanka. I dont see many County players who are openers scoring lots of runs apart from Burns. Gubbins has been injured this summer so not played as many as he come off done. Can you suggest a couple of openers who deserve to be in the squad ahead of Jennings in terms of runs and quality apart from Burns? Ive just a quick look through and cant see anyone who has scored lots of runs and average aswell. My team for Sri Lanka Burns Jennings Bairstow Root(c) Pope Stokes Buttler(wk) Ali Leach Broad Anderson. The rest of squad imo will be Vince, Curran, Woakes, Porter, Rashid It was good day yesterday.. I would like to go to more cricket games but family and work commitments dont allow sadly.

What wrong with Mansell? Plus Evans and Buckley? Please can you a detail post why you are against them already? I wonder if they are other reasons why you are against them.

Ali will bat at 3 in the Sri Lanka. Jennings will be given the winter to prove. Cant keep changing every few months. Plus not that much quality in county championship.either

I believe from whats Ive read and listened to Jennings is likely to go to Sri Lanka. Not many options out there. Expect the squad to be Burns Jennings Ali Root Bairstow Stokes Buttler Curran Rashid Broad Anderson Vince Pope Leach Woakes and Porter. On Lancs signed fast bowler Glesson from Northampton on a 3 years contract.

3rd highest in the squad. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/blackburn-rovers/leistungsdaten/verein/164/plus/1?reldata=%262017 A wide player in our team has to do both side of the game but Bennett does fine.

Bennett was 3rd in assists stats. Hardly poor was it. Mulgrew only got 5 and considering he took corners and some free kicks I would have thought it be higher. Thats last season not this season regarding Armstrong. I like to see him play wide right and expose Villa slowness in defence behind Villa left back/left centre back.

He did the role he was asked. Work hard, chase, closing down from the 10 role. Not allow their playmaker time on the ball. He deserve his man of the match award that day. He was a flying winger in his younger days.

Brentford at home. Nuttall started up front. Graham on bench. Armstrong and Dack both injured. Palmer played wide right.

Bennett was good in the 10 role. No apparently about it Roversfan99. Bennett contributed fine last season. I shown you the stats before now and he fine last season. I would start Bennett for the Villa game for sure. Next to Evans for me. His work rate will be need considering how Villa play. Whoever plays the 10 role will have to be defensively as well as attacking wise. If Dack fit he played there. If not I would play Rothwell there. Palmer should not be playing the 10 role. For this game better coming off the bench. When we play Armstrong up front with Graham or Brereton its more of 4-4-2 then 4-2-3-1. Dack always start if fit which is something else ive said before to you.

Bennett was outstanding in the 10 role against Brentford which you miss. His work rate was 1st class. Shame you miss it. I feel that Bennett merit a place anywhere on the pitch. He has been our 2nd best player this season. I think Mowbray feels that Armstrong is better off playing of the striker if Dack isnt available then we tend more of 4-4-2 then 4-2-3-1. Bennett did excellent in centre midfield and show discipline when he had too.

I've already said which games I play him in and how. Ive said the reasons why I would play Brereton in those games. Can Graham play 2 or 3 games a week from the start? Can Graham's fitness levels survive 3 games a week aswell?

cos I want pace and movement up front as I said before to you after the Bristol City and We have 3 games in a week so we need to use Graham right and fit for each game so he can play a in each one whether its off the bench or starting. I want use Graham off the bench for Villa and Derby games and starting the Stoke one.

Spain played well at times but did we. Not trying to say England was outstanding tonight but we werent poor. I would have like to see us go 4-3-3 second half. With Kane up front and Welbeck/Rashford either side of him. Didnt do Germany must use having Kroos or Ozil in the world cup did it?

Did either Spain or Germany make it the semi finals in the world cup 2018? France arent anything special either.

I agree we need deep playmaker. I would have like Cook or Ward Prowse in the squad. Maddison has been good for Leicester from what Ive seen. Very talented. I would have like us to play a different way/formation like 4-3-3 second half.

England have not regressed under Southgate. Henderson deserve his place in the squad. Good world cup. Feel for Shaw

Very good play by Kane and Shaw to set up Rashford. 1-1 now. Good play by Spain tbf

Great preview my team Raya Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Williams Evans Bennett Armstrong Dack Rothwell Brereton subs:- Luetwiler, Williams, Travis, Smallwood, Palmer, Graham, Reed

Dropping Palmer? can you explain why after debating me on the subject
