Good signing at this level
Should score goals at this level
-
I dont see any county cricket due to work.
Hameed needs to play natural game and maybe he got in his head he needs to be attacking. Maybe playing one day/20twenty cricket wont help him
I dont think Trevor Bayliss would look to change his game at all. Doesnt seem his way.

Thanks for that Matt. really apprenticed that alot
Is Ryan McLaren the overseas player for Lancashire?
Any reason why Hammed been so poor this season?
Livingstone a good player? I haven't seen him play and hopefully today I will see him play for England.
Alex Davies is the wicketkeeper is this correct? Jordan Clark is all rounder aswell?
-
Can anyone tell me about Lancashire season so far and which players have performed this season?
Very grateful in advance

Like the (mostly) part Chaddy ha.
He may have played 4 at the back at WBA (I honestly can't remember) but that was back in 06. 3 at the back in England certainly wasn't a popular choice then.
He has played with 3 at the back at Celtic, Boro, Coventry and now us.
Funny how you've suddenly been banging on about his preferred formation being 4-2-3-1 so much over the past few weeks. Been reading his profile on transfermarkt have you? It may say that but it certainly isn't true.
By the way read here http://www.thehardtackle.com/2011/middlesbroughs-corner-how-architect-tony-mowbray-designed-an-unbeaten-boro/ Notice his preferred formation.
But you clearly know best
Funny enough I found an article about Mowbray playing 4-4-2 at Boro.
I remember his WBA team playing attacking style and being a passing team

We don't need 2 centre halves at the moment though
no we don't.
we have 5 centre half at the club already. Lenihan, Mulgrew, Ward, Wharton and Platt. Plus Nyambe and Williams can fill in there
we have 4 centre midfielders in Whittingham, Smallwood, Evans and Tomlinson

Chaddy seems to think it is 4-2-3-1 that TM will be lining up as. Despite his use of 3 at the back throughout his managerial career of course.
I think Nixon may have said something once.
didnt use 3 at the back at WBA or Celtic but a 4-2-3-1 formation(mostly) like I said. But you clearly you know best

So Venkys suddenly decided to sanction substantial wage increases after 2 years of relentless cost cutting and selling of our better players? Why would they do that?
Why if they were prepared to offer so much more to those two players were they not prepared to offer better terms to others such as Mahoney who is on far less money?
Doesn't make sense, and I therefore don't believe it.
Ive only posted what I was told..
Dont know why we keep mention Hanley, Duffy and Marshall. They left and now we move on and build a new squad to achieve promotion this season

Just now, JHRover said:
Not really fair to compare Mulgrew to Marshall/Duffy at this stage.
In the cases of Marshall and Duffy the club was actively trying to sell them to cash in on them. Lies about Marshall being offered a new contract or if he was it was deliberately too low so that he was never going to accept it. Propaganda to make people think it was all Marshall's fault for wanting away and the club had no option but to sell him, when really it was as much the club playing games and trying to encourage people to come and bid for him, not to mention showing zero ambition, that pushed him away.
It remains to be seen what the case will be with Mulgrew. We certainly wont be able to command a fee on Duffy/Marshall levels. Will they start playing games through the Telegraph to try and get clubs to bid for the players or will they actually try and keep hold of them?
I know which I expect to happen.
Marshall and Duffy were offered 25% increase in their wages when offered new contracts last summer so I was told by Alan Nixon.
Maybe Mulgrew will go but it needs a offer from a club yet. Rumours are Boro and Hull want him.

Incase Chaddy was wrong his formation is slightly more adventurous and would require further signings to play those roles!!.
We are linked to sign Oztumer, Dack, Bostock, Gladwin who can play the 10 role. Why are we being linked with these players if we are going to play a number 10 player. Plus we got Bennett, Conway,.Feeney and Rankin Costello to wide roles

I'd hate to see him line up 451 or 4411 at southend and you be wrong fella.
Is 4-4-1-1 the same formation tbh?
So you would like me to be wrong?

Isn't TM favouring the 3 at the back system?
Did last season. Make us more solid at the back
This summer he talk about playing attacking passing style. So I expect him to revert back to his WBA formation of 4-2-3-1 now.

All players are signed for a specific role/purpose. Not like you gonna sign a striker and put him in goal. He is a defensive midfielder - its bleeding obvious what his role would be. So that's hardly something to put a feather in your arrogant cap really is it?
Players are being signed for the formation we will be using this season whilst as last summer recruitment seem to be all over the place and players not signed for the formation we were playing. Under Coyle first few games we played 3 different formation in 6 games which is crazy.
Under Mowbray he appears to be know what his 1st choice formation will be which I think will be 4-2-3-1 formation. You see us signed Smallwood and Whittingham to play the 2 centre midfield roles. Plus the links with Bostock, Oztumer and Dack who can play the 10 role in that formation

Honest appraisal of the Smallwood signing by Mowbray. Essentially saying that it's not one that will excite the fans, but he'll be in the team to do a specific job for us.
https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2017/june/mowbray-pleased-to-make-smallwood-signing/
Being saying this from when he was going to sign here, signed here for a specific role within the team and style

Poor signing.
Amazing cos if you look at Boro local reporter comments and Andy Bayes comments both saying good signing by all accounts.
You just been over negative recently and very much anti Mowbray.
Mowbray knows the player and the job he can do at this level. Look at Scunthorpe when he was there and after.

Have you seen him Jim?
Ever going to response to my question in the Cricket or just ignore it as per usual.

Cos I think you are damn right cheeky and bang out of order Jim. You have no idea of our life or the things my kids and me and the missus are into apart from what ive mention
I dont see what right you got telling anybody what to do in their life.
still no response? WHY NOT?
I'm really interested in knowing how you can judge me and my family when you don't have a clue about a life or what we do apart from what I mention on here.
so what gets you the right to tell me what to do with my money that I work hard for?
Any responses to these questions since you insulted me and my family?
An apologise would be nice from you!!!

Different times but when I was a kid I grew up watching cricket on the BBC.
If Sky had been around my parents could not have afforded it.
During summer school hols I would watch a full days play in a Test match and then play it for hours with mates until it got too dark.
That was when I was young, later from about 14 had to work in the hols.
I've not been impressed with the crowds at the ICC ODIs so far, England apart. Lack of interest, too expensive and on tv factors no doubt but if a 15,000 crowd can't be achieved it's a poor do.
At one game at the SWALEC the crowd as embarassingly small.
WC 2019 are talking of filling London Stadium twice, it will have to be an England game or India v Palistan to achieve that.
People will watch England games. India and Pakistan games will be popular. But some games wont attracted people to watch.
But these games are being played when Children are still at Schools. not ideal for high turnout

However, if you put a sport on free to air TV, they may watch it - or their kids might and get hooked. Just like Rugby Union is witnessing.
Chaddy, if you don't believe that cricket now has its lowest ever profile in this country then that's up to you, but I and many others would argue differently.
my step son isn't interested in sport full stop, he more interested in drama, computer games, tv series, Comics and Photography.
My step daughter will watch Rovers game with me, but isn't interested in sport. She prefer Dancing, art and Tv shows

I have Sky, however the majority of people don't, very simple, if you want to grow the game you need people to see it.
Rugby Union was nowhere in the north of England 20 years ago, now I would wager it has the second highest profile up here. Why? Because 9 million people are watching the 6 Nations. 900 thousand are watching England cricket matches.
If want to watch cricket they will find a way.
Cricket is a day sport when most ppl are working when Rugby is played on weekend.
6 nations was good this year granted but I missed of it by being at Rovers games.
This winter Ashes series will be on bt sport and I dont have BT sport so I have decision to make. But with working nights I wouldnt be able to watch alot of it. I dont know who has the highlights package either..

Disappointed that Ballance has been recalled. This will be his 3rd chance
I would have gone with Hameed or Browne from Essex or Malan from Middlesex.
