Past and present.

Armstrongs performances this season would say not.

Is he ?

And if he came back and didn't, it wouldn't be beneficial to the team. Who would you drop for Armstrong ?

Armstrong, not for me.

The Rovers record from the 70s- Never give in.

I wonder, if we are going to play youngsters in the cup game against West Ham , will todays U21s game be mainly players from the U18s . If so it could be another thrashing from a good Brighton side.

As I said, Pears has been sat on a bench, the others have at least been playing. It's all opinions, until Kaminski is unavailable we will not know who is right. Personnally I hope we never find out.

I mean't what I put ( left midfielder ), the left sided player in a central midfield three .

Pears is so poor I think his rightful place is on the bench, and never on the pitch. I honestly think if Kaminsky was out through injury he would be replaced by one of the younger keepers, not Pears.

For me Mola should be given a go at left midfield. Maybe against Wham

I agree, that is why I started my post with, IF.

If we can get another twenty rubbish performances like today, with the same results, I will be happy.

Always look on the bright side of life.

We don't give a damn, we don't give a shite, We'll even go to jail, For the boys in blue and white.

Lenoard is a better option than Hirst

I just hope that Sunderland don't get rid of Mowbray before we play them.

You could say the same about Adam Wharton. But you have to be given the opertunity to show if you are good enough

And if we beat the dingles next Sunday we will be top.

We should concentrate on getting our own house in order, not worrying what other teams are doing.

I think you are being optimistic.

For me our main problem is not what formation we play, but asking too many players to play out of their preferred positions. If one player is out, then bring in the best player to fill that gap. Don't swap three players to achieve the same objective. Nobody can say for certain which is the best choice, but my guess would be, bringing in the best player to fill the gap.

Only 8 of those games are on a Saturday at 15:00. And that is before times and days are changed for sky and the police.

Bless you.

and a Russian linesman.
