I'll drop you off in the 80's, on my way to the 70's.

If I was the Chilean coach, I would be more worried about the level of Bens football skills.

Don Martin did play in the first division, are you saying Hickman would get in over Szmodic. Beamo did not just miss chances, he missed absolute sitters. The words, "How did he miss that", went hand in hand with Beamo.

He did with Northampton

There was a reason Beamo's name was derided by his own fans. Hickman would not get in over Sammy. And in my eyes it is a toss-up between Gally and the Don.

Same style coaches.

The Don had the willingness, but not the physique. Gally is the complete opposit, I think it is a toss-up, who I prefer.

Not the three scorers.

No one is doubting that fact. The question that was asked is, why would Phillips get booed ?

I thought Phillips refused to sign a contract with the Rovers, because he knew if he was a free agent he would personally make more money. Which is the opposit of what Adam Wharton did. That is why Phillips will get stick and Wharton won't. Nobody would doubt the merits of leaving the Rovers, it is just the way it was done. If I am talking utter bollocks I apologise for my lack of the true facts.

With the state of things at the moment, it is easier than you may think.

I think it was more of a case, of putting so much effort into getting three one up. Then running out of steam.

we leak less goals, but we are still conceeding.

I live in a fairly simple world. I have stopped going, but not caring. Roll-up, roll-up, buy your season tickets all you mugs, and keep Waggot in his job !

More importantly, will he be successful ?

Markanday has always played for the Rovers out of his best position, because that is where Smodic plays. As for his loan to Aberdeen, again he was tried as a winger, which he certainly isn't. Markanday has very little pace, or any other atributes required of a winger. What he does have is an eye for good movement, and a good shot, both of which are ideal for a central attacker. Bye the way you don't have to have any form of tinted specs to see a players best position. But 50 years of playing and watching football does help.

Because it is his job.

Fair enough, if that is your opinion of Markanday, but I disagree.

That could well be the case, as no-one ever seems to be accountable for anything, at the Rovers.

If it takes the bus 12 hours to get to Swansea, the bus is knackered. Even Ribblesdale coaches would have made it in less than 12 hours.

What exactly is "The Gally role", has it something to do with the treatment room.

Markanday would be an ideal replacement off the bench for Szmodic if he tires.

Gilsenans main problem is that his best position is where Szmodic plays, and Smodic is not going to be dropped for Gilsenan.

So the first team took three keepers.

Disappointing result. But that is going to happen when they play at the same time as the first team, who name nine subs
