What I was trying to say was we do have replacements for the three duffers. They just need to be played

No it wouldn’t Nyambe Lenihan Tosin Downing

With a back line without Bennet , Mulgrew and Bell we may well have been

The joy of following the Rovers at the moment. Depending on who is selected and where. We could loose 3-0, win 3-0, or anywhere inbetween.

I am on the 9:17 from Preston

People have been saying that you should n’t judge after one game. Why. After Saturday I would judge Bell and Bennet as shit.

I like that starting line-up. I would bring on Armstrong when Danny tires.

I would rather play 3 at the back than see Bell play.

I would swap Rothwell and Armstrong over

The one good thing about Bells performance, is that any team post now with his name in it, I just ignore.

Is a total delusion

Wasn't it Freud who said something along the lines of, A sign of madness is to keep doing the same thing, and expect a different outcome. I think most people want TM to stay, but to change his defensive selections.

probably because of where and how they play.

But getting a good deal for someone who isn’t contributing as much as you want, is.

There was an occasion yesterday when Bell made another mistake TM had his head in his hands. But he still didn’t do anything

Totally agree

Will he have learned when we are down to 8000 on at Ewood

Will he have learned when we are down to 8000 home fans on at Ewood?

I am talking about what we have now. I would say playing a rookie is a better option than Bell

who plays left back for the 23's surely he must be worth a go?

I would say the actual figure does not matter, the point is still valid. We will probably loose a lot of the walk-ons after that performance.

I would bet most of those people you talked to where saying why is TM picking the wrong defenders, when he publicly states he sees the problem.

there was nothing gentle about that defensive performance

I'd rather see us play three at the back, than see Bell in a rovers shirt ever again.

I doubt if it has ever happened ,or if it will ever happen . But if Bennet has the Rovers at heart, he should perhaps say to Tony Mowbray, I am not at ease at full back and if I was to be dropped for the good of the team, so be it.
