We've a star man, playing out of sight. His name is Harry Chapman, and he's fucking dynamite.

KAMINSKI NYAMBE LENIHAN HARWOOD DOUGLAS JRC BUCKO TRYBULL DOLAN GALLAGHER ARMSTRONG This is the team and formation I would like to see, although I don't expect to. For me JRC has to play on the right, as his forte is crossing with his right foot. Dolans forte will be beating players or getting free-kicks. This he can do from any forward position.

I want a strong finish, purely for the selfish reason that I always feel better if we win.

Hard as nails helped.

If Mowbray is still at Ewood next season, I won't be. People outside the club will blame it on the supporters. Lets get as many as possible down to watch the U23s, to prove we support the Rovers, it's Mowbray we have a problem with.

Where we are at the moment, we have to make the best of what we have got. If we got rid of Mowbray I think we would be improved in all departments. We could perhaps play players in their preferred positions.

Early seventies Billinge always beat Pleckgate. Neal Parker was the stalwart.

Have we not got 4 players out on loan getting pitch time ? When Mowbray said make a call on Armstrong, perhaps he meant go around to his house to pick him up.

Strangely, I get entertainment trying to guess Mowbrays team choices. The only one I am certain of at the moment is Kaminski in goal.

Bastard

Sound familiar ?

I wouldn't accept that sort of mistake at Alehouse level

Perhaps the problem is the way of playing rather than the players. Wing backs and fullbacks are nowhere near the same. They are used in two totally different formations. So what you get if you think they are all the same, is a hybrid which is no good in either position.

Have we got a right wing back problem? I didn't realise we played with wing backs.

Pike.

The river Darwen doesn't look so good now.

Tommy Balls

Personally I would play Nyambe at right back and JRC at right wing. At the same time. I must admit I do like partnerships : fullbacks and wingers, two centerhalves, two central midfielders, two central forwards.

As a defensive strategy, I would say that is a load of bollocks. If the defence played further up because you have one faster than most defender, the attackers would just target one of the other defenders. You need a co-ordinated defence, ideally with a plan that has been practiced in training.

That is going to be the difficult bit

Your not wrong there.

Blondies, "One Way Or Another" has a cracking beat if the words could be adapted.

We over-achieved in 1966, apart from that we have more or less reached our capabilities. Perhaps what has failed to be reached, are your expectations.
