The only explanation given, was to give cover for Brittain at left-back. This did not happen as Brittain drifted over to a left center-half position, to accomodate Gallys position.

No, I needed it explaining to me, the reasoning of playing Gally as a left wing-back.

I was there, I have a brain. I thought we were poor, against a team that overdid their attacking play. When they went direct they split our defence with ease. The sending off made little difference to our set up, as we effectively only had ten men with Dolan hiding on the wing. You think we acquited ourselves well, we lost end of story.

It would be a statement if nobody bought the available tickets.

Newspapers were multi-functional. Read them, wipe your arse with them, clean windows with them. Not nesessarily in that order.

In his mind.

I suppose you could say; At least Pears knew which side the forward would shoot. Back to reality he could have taken his bearings from the penalty spot. Nobody is saying it would not have ended in the same result, but Pears made it so much more easier for the scorer.

At the moment Dolans main skill seems to be , hiding out on the wing, facing our goal. So is it now time for a change of keeper ?

But not in the left-wing back position.

But Brittain moved inside almost like another center-half to accomadate Gally playing where he was. At no time was Gally a physical presence infront of Brittain.

I do not profess to having a clue about modern tactics, that is why I would like to hear JDTs reasoning behind todays way of playing.

So do you think Gally should be played in a defensive wing-back role ? I would even think putting Scott wharton as left back with Brittain in front of him would have been more solid than playing Gally out of position.

He did a good job, for a center forward, playing at left back. But why ?

What no laver bread ?

Yes, but it is getting harder and harder to justify going.

I would like JDT to come out and explain his thought process of playing Gally, in what to me looked like a defensive left wing back position. After the performace today, I am glad I didn't renew my season ticket. I was thinking of making a week of going to Watford and Plymouth. I will now be doing my garden.

I don't know about the diving, as it is hard to prove if it is a dive or a foul.

Top of the Pops. 1) Tizer 2) Dandelion and Burdock 3) Sarsaparilla (from the stall on Blackburn market)

Personally I would play the players in their most effective positions. I would start with Brittain at right-back and JRC right midfield. If the need arises to swap players around, then do it if it happens.

I love any Rovers team that wins.

A good result for us tonight.

We started alright against Rotherham, it was the middle 50 minutes that were poor.

But it does help, with the Rovers.

I agree about sticking with Markanday; just not on the wing. Dolan of the bench maybe, Hedges for Dolan.

Is the dogs name Rover ?
