Something like that cant be ranked at all I don't think, all subjective.

Saka has limped off injured, presumably a major doubt for the World Cup. -
John Buckley
roversfan99 replied to Hoochie Bloochie Mama's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think that the main issue has been the assumption that moving him from attacking midfield to a more holding role would be a seamless transition. It's a totally different position and he really seemed to struggle to assert his authority on the ball, plus his ability to win the ball back high up the pitch is not utilised. I also wonder what his attitude is like, with Dack it was just assumed that he spit his dummy out, Buckley did go down the tunnel last Saturday I think (may have been temporarily) as soon as we brought on our last subs, maybe he has not taken being dropped well. -

Seven seasons syndrome. Not a bad problem considering the success of the first 6. -

v Hull City (a) - 29/10/22

On Szmodics, guessing you didn't watch today but thought that he was our best attacker and plenty of praise in my post match post. He does miss chances and missed 2 good ones before his goal which was a quality finish. I also think technically there are big question marks, as shown by a poor touch in the second half when he had the ball in the box although he did nearly fashion a chance out after that. He was a pain in the arse of the Hull defenders. I am undecided on him, definitely has his uses but merely running around is not enough. 3 goals is a reasonable return though, he is inconsistent and sometimes anonymous so I am still to be convinced that he was worth the fee. He deserves to start at Coventry, would he be ahead of Dack in general? No. -

It could be down to a number of things, it might be his commitment or his fitness, they could have had a fall out, he could be under pressure to jettison him as a high earner, it might be a power play to stamp his authority, it might be purely that he doesn't rate him compared to the others. -

I can't say that I know any Hull fans so unsure if they got excited. But yeah, I have seen some poor sides in this league this season and they are right up there. No shots on target at home is embarrassing. -

Hopefully Brittain will be back on Tuesday, but thankfully Hull are awful and didn't have the quality or seemingly the tactical awareness to get at Travis, who has a tendency to stray when at right back. -

Do you still think that he doesn't fit in and he shouldn't be in the 18 going forward, out of interest? -

Another very pleasing result today with a comfortable win over a truly shocking Hull side another example of the lack of quality in this league, to not have a shot on target (like us at Wigan) is shocking. Performance wise, Kaminski could have stayed at home, Hyam again excellent, Scott Wharton was more convincing than he has been recently, Pickering was totally comfortable and continues to be an underrated part of our team who seldom lets us down and Travis was solid in both positions. Morton and Adam Wharton were both really good, the former is really into his stride and the latter is a top talent. Szmodics was our brightest attacker, he did have a couple of poor finishes before his excellent goal and also was let down by his touch in the box before pulling the ball back in the second half but he was full of running and a constant threat, the polar opposite to Dolan who was very sluggish and ineffective. Brereton looks shattered and Gallagher wasn't at his best, missing a sitter. The subs also played their part, Ayala is such a good defender, Carter was fine, Vale gave it away through inexperience twice but also was a regular out ball and did well and Dack barely had a kick but his pressing was really impressive and caused mistakes, usually he would be needed to get a goal but he belied the recent narrative that he can't fit in. -
They did a couple of years ago and most people said they didn't want it, so why they have brought it back is beyond me.

But we are paying his wages either way, and he would surely rather be on the bench than left at home. -

It's nobodies fault. Dack it seems chatted to a manager who did lots for his career and said he felt good, which Mowbray mentioned when specifically asked in an interview. -
Rename The Riverside in honour of Tony Parkes

Would be pretty poor to name a bar after him considering what he has done for the club. Surely rename the Riverside. -

Hirst has not got long left now to prove you correct in having faith in him. You consider Dack to have had ample time this season, Hirst is probably about 100 minutes away from running out of time if this example is anything to go by... You are obsessing over a style of play, what is that style of play that we play that you imply that Dack wouldn't fit in with? And why does it matter that Dack isn't a striker, if we needed a goal he would likely come on in addition to the striker(s)? -
In the grand scheme of things, not really, but I find it irritating, its tacky, it is counter productive to the natural atmosphere that spikes following a goal, so I would prefer it to be removed For what its worth, the club once did a poll on goal music and the general consensus was a considerable majority in favour of not having it. Why it has been reinstated midway into a season is beyond me. What is your opinion, ie to engage in discussion rather than just shutting people down. Do you prefer goal music or is this a case of dismissing anyone who disagrees with anything from within the club?

But we have been paying his wages either way, and this "way of playing" nonsense is repeated as if we are this high intensity, pressing machine and Dack is a 40 yard old target man. And I am sure he would prefer half an hour over not being involved at all or being given 5 minutes as the 5th sub. -

He was a terrible manager, but I believe him on his stuff about the sudden cut backs and the failed promises, not even necessarily to him. Their tenure has been full of that. -
One thing that they definitely need to do is get rid of the goal music. Tacky and unnecessary.

Doesn't fit the style of play is a nonsense. We dont have a particularly noticeable identity but even if he doesnt start, at the moment he wojld be the first man to turn to as a sub if we went a goal down. -

Obviously copying the view of what is actually being done to ensure that every decision made by the club is correct. Not sure why it comes down to anyone owing anybody else. Many seemingly share the view that Dack is a big asset and better than some of the alternatives we have, if so it is in everyones benefit to not jettison him. -

If I thought that then I would apply for the managers job every time it became available. I am well aware that I am not as educated but equally I am at least in an opinion to be validating in having my own opinions, hence why I (and many others) come onto this messageboard to share them.
