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 ?

It's the hope that kills.

The full-backs are already being overloaded.

I used to dubbin my junior schools footballs, so that I could do my football boots on the sly for nowt.

not another dose of that.

A sort of very soft wax, to make leather waterproof and supple.

yes

That extra point or two does not mean we would have won promotion

I don't get all this if we lose with a good performance crap. I want a win, if it comes with a piss poor performance, I will still be delighted.

Gilsenan shows a little bit more than most others at U21s. If he has the right attitude he could make a go of the championship. I can see a club coming in with a cheeky bid for him and the Rovers taking it.

You lose in the cup, you are out. You lose in the league, it can be recovered.

In 18 months time Wharton and Gilsenan will probably no-longer be at the Rovers.

most.
