I would not say their goal was a particularly bad mistake, the two options for the keeper where deflect the ball to safety (Which he tried ). Or gather the ball in (which would have been difficult ). Someone said he should have turned the ball for a corner, that was never on with how the ball was played in.

Having watched the replays, I would say it is a harsh sending off. But Sammy was off-side for the third, the linesman was five yards off the play.

We are starting with six mid-fielders and no strikers, yet have four strikers on the bench. I don't get it.

I would start Ennis, if only to see how long he can manage and what his finishing is like.

It wouldn't make sense otherwise.

I do it every season.

The strangest thing is, I think I would prefer the Dingles to be relegated on the last day of the season, by one goal. Seeing their fans cry on telly would make my week-end.

I have booked my hotel at Wembley for the play-off final.

I'm always optimistic.

The dingles being relegated, will only be bettered by us taking their place in the Premier League.

Your statement was our lack of quality apart from the five you mentioned. The other four that I mentioned, are in my opinion quality players who this season play for the Rovers.

I would add Britain, Hill, Sigardsson and Morton, so that is 8 of the outfield 10.

Not quite, but hopefully next week.

Steve Kean is available

Long may it continue.

A good buy. I have always thought Burns should be playing at a higher level than he has been. Best of luck to him.

I cant see any club paying a fee for Dolan. So for me his level will be decided by his wage demands

So what in your opinion is Dolans level ?

In my opinion being up to standard once every half dozen games, is not good enough for any professional .

Not many teams like to play one on one at the back, 9 times out of ten another player will be called in to cover. If this system is not practiced, the defenders will make mistakes or play people on-side.

The big question is, which is the normal form for Dolan. The exciting player, or the no end product one. I think the norm for Dolan, is the no end product one.

If you play with two forwards, they usually play as a pair, close to each other, and right up on the central defenders. This usually pulls an extra player out of position to cover the marking defenders. If you play one forward and an attacking midfielder, the defenders are usually in their preferred positions. Playing two up front does leave you short in other areas, but if you have good enough players in those areas, they will cope.

Now you are being silly.

We seem to have two second choice keepers. We had a first choice in Kaminski, but sold him. We need a first choice keeper.

Its a start, or would you just plough on regardless ?
