I will stand by my statement that the result six games ago has no physical bearing on tomorrows game. The performance of the players tomorrow will decide the outcome.

That has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on tomorrows game.

That could apply to quite a few fans as well.

Well it hasn't worked so far. You start by, if you have to give away free-kicks, give them away in less dangerous areas. If the opposition get the ball have someone challenging immediately, not backing off to let the opponents into a dangerous area (last week for example). I don't think Johnson is the man for that. Secondly if you have to defend a dead ball into the box, every player should know what he is meant to be doing(that is what training is for). It might not work all the time, but it will for most occasions.

For me I would have Davenport over Johnson. I think we should set our team up, and let them worry about it. Not pick a team to negate their strengths. That is what subs are for.

I agree about Rothwell. What is your thinking with Johnson ?

I think that everyone bar Mowbray is in agreement on that.

Is this the team that you would pick, or the one you think Mowbray will pick ?

The problem is, it's not the only fee spent on a donkey

In these economically testing times, wouldn't you just get a shirt with nothing printed on the back. It would cost the same and would be relevant for the return of fans next season ?

Very few managers even try to build on an attack based team. Keegan tried at Newcastle, and won nowt.

Everyone has their own opinion. Mine is that Bennet is a better cover at right-back, than Buckley. This does not mean that I think he is good in that position.

Especially if Pike could fill in there. Mowbray is the person to blame.

For me it's only 51 years, but those are my sentiments exactly.

Other players mistakes do not make Buckley a reasonable full-back.

Lets wait and see.

It doesn't matter who Stoke have, anybody will be dangerous against our defence

I always remember O'Mara's comment. "The people of Blackburn have not seen the best of me yet". The problem was, that we had and it wasn't good.

I don't know what future ticket prices will be, but you should only compare them to other clubs prices at the time, not our historical prices . I have a simple solution if I am not happy with the price of tickets, or the quality of football on display. I will not go.

A player confident in his abilities won't. How is Bucko playing at full-back for the good of the team ?

Ah! Bucafrates.

Right-back or midfield ?

If he had that much confidence he would say to the manager. I am a midfielder not a full-back. Play me in midfield. It is upto the player to then justify his confidence.

I'll be listening on radio Lancs. Although Kevin Gallagher talks some drivel at times.

I say this yet again I will leave judgement of the player until he has actually played a few games for us. I hope he works out for us, for the good of Blackburn Rovers, not the manager.
