That is asking one of the three forwards to play in central midfield. None of Dolan, Szmodic or Gallagher fit that role. Personally I would play 3 center-backs, two wing backs, three central mid-fielders, and two forwards. This can be a more defensive minded system, it depends how good your wing-backs are.

Stoke away a few seasons ago did exactly the same bringing on Peter Crouch.

I don't think asking 10 goals a seaosn from a striker is asking too much.

that will leave us with only two central midfielders, and that has been a big problem for us.

I totally agree, the problem comes when the choice is between Dolan and Szmodic for their best positions.

And that doesn't mean a PNE fan.

Smokey Robinson will do.

Dispite two goals yesterday, I would still not offer him an improved deal. If he was to score six more goals between now and the end of the season, I might change my mind.

Funnily enough most of the keepers on our books have decent long kicks, under JDT it was an ability under-used.

We won.

Perhaps they were going to play three central defenders, but had to change plans when Wharton reported sick. Who knows, I know I don't.

Not when they are on loan at another club.

In which case he might make a statement at the end of the season.

Will I get in for free ?

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

At the moment Trav is an Ipswich player, why should he comment on the Rovers ?

Was she the one given the boot ?

The problem is a lot of the poorer teams also attempt to play it, usually with little success.

More like Blackpool and Wigan.

I agree on most parts, but if (a big if )Eustace comes in and turns things around, that will debunk the arguement for JDT not having enough competent players, and just maybe, it was JDTs system of play that let the team down.

Dolan does neither.

At least he called us Rovers.

I would say chiefs are what we are missing

Didn't fit JDTs tactics. Interesting that the U21s seem to be lining up 4-4-2. He may get his chance.

But at least there is a statement about the U21s tonight.
