I should think, same as most systems, it will depend on what the manager thinks of the opposition.

Personally I think he has improved, that does not make him a good player. I see his major asset as being his recovery after a mistake, he has to learn to cut the mistakes out in the first place.

The strange thing is when I was kid, most people grew up playing numbers 4 and 6, as left or right half backs, it seemed a natural and easy formation to play. The only prerequisites was that the half-backs needed to be fit, have a good football brain, could pass and could tackle. Players not gifted with outstanding pace or skill loved playing half back.

Has anybody actually signed, or is it all rumour?

Was that Sir Roger?

I don't care what list any signing is off, I just want them to perform for us.

Or the big boys have been lucky to avoid us.

possibly reading to.

I am looking forward to next season.

correct

I never said that, but I will stand by my opinion that his first touch is awful. I hope that he improves in that department, but that will only be seen in actual matches

But a lot of the time his first touch was awful with no defenders marking him.

I don't see how a personal trainer will improve his first touch.

In most cases how you look is a reflection of character.

Change the rules to take away the intension debate, if it hits your arm it's handball.

I didn't realise the season has already kicked off

Did you mean Full-stop?

I don't care who we get! Lets just beat them, and set a standard.

If you want to negate the away support give them the whole end and spread them out. In general groups of people do not give as much vocal support when spread out.

Oldham, Wigan, Shrewsbury, Southend, Doncaster.

But you are comparing them to the teams at the top of the division. As a starting point we have to be better than three teams at the bottom of the division. I would suggest Bolton, Wigan and whoever wins the play offs as a start.

To me the main reason I would shift the Darwen end Rovers is the marked increase in hassle between opposing fans after the game because they have to cross at the corner of the Darwen end and JW.

Perhaps we are heading for an embargo because TM has been given an absolutely massive War-Chest for the summer, and we are going to buy anyone we want!

I think it is more that people think they should have the right to stand up. I agree with that.
