Different positions, no comparisons.

Because Gilsenan is not good enough yet.

It's the, when he is missing bit, that is the problem.

Paul.

The way we where playing under JDT, would need more than a few tweaks to stop the alarming number of goals we were conceeding.

Gally ?

It starts with stopping the goals conceded. At our level that is the most important aspect. If your wing-backs can also effect the attack, that is a bonus.

Yes, the two wing-backs are free to push forward. The idea being that they move forward from our defence, rather than them moving backwards to try to catch the oppositions attackers

Well apart from scoring two goals, and getting a point when most people were predicting us gettng a thumping.

Take the point, move on, but I still think we need to play with 3 central/defensive midfielders.

That should be pinned up in the dressing room.

He's not fit to wear the tie.

Last season I felt confident, and ended up disappointed. Perhaps this season it will be the opposit way round.

It's almost as if they want fans to go to the match.

I never said you where.

It could well be better than doing nothing.

Maybe the Rovers thought that they would need Batty over Gent, as cover at left-back, who knows ?

But what the ref should do, is allow the throw, then give it as a foul throw, and turn possession over to the opposition.

Thats because they don't want our season ticket money yet.

Gent has always been the understudy to Batty.

Ian Holloway, usually calls Bristol Rovers, the gas.

Then you should move to Preston.

I think the last question and answer are the most important.

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.
