  1. Absolute tosh to it all. Think you are just a mouth piece for Rovers echoing all that Eustace et al say. Be objective and form your OWN OPINIONS like most on this MB do.
  2. You don't half spout some nonsense. Firstly, Cantwell said at Rangers and recently Rovers, number 10 is his best position. A friend was showing me some stats on Cantwell's starting position in his last 50 games at Rangers and Norwich. 30 were in central midfield and JUST ONE in the left position. You play the lad where his involvement and influence can be at its greatest and it's not stuck out on the feckin left. I don't want him tracking back covering our left back as you state, I want the lad hurting the feckin opposition. Best starting eleven past its time - feck me, you having a laugh? Can't imagine any manager telling the likes of George Best, Pele, Cruyff, Messi etc 'this game isn't for you son, it's a squad game and we need to take into account the opposition'. Question for you Chaddy - who do you think is best for the 10 role, Dolan or Cantwell?
  3. That would be my team too. We have only one player who has genuine quality as a creative force and that is Cantwell. Cantwell SHOULD NOT be shunted to the left where his talent is wasted (conversely, akin to playing Gallagher wide right where his limitations were even more exposed) - he should be there in the 10 role and given as much of the ball as possible. IMO, Dolan is a headless chicken with little or no football intelligence and he needs shunting out of the team completely, preferably to another club. I think our standard of performance has dropped alarmingly over the last half dozen games and we have been a very hard watch. We badly need some creativity and football intelligence and Cantwell and Siggy should be given their heads. My fear is Eustace won't see the light and make the changes necessary and Wednesday will be another turgid performance with a revitalised and good WBA team running out winners by at least 2 goals.
  4. My team Toth /JRC, Batth, Carter, Beck / the 2 T's / ADC, Cantwell, Weimann / Gueye Don't want to see Hyam, Pickering, Baker, Dolan anywhere near that team. We got off to a good start but think it's clear we flattered to deceive after some of the dross seen over our last 4 games. Cantwell has to play the 10 role and be given licence to go anywhere and do what he wants - the one quality offensive player we have with great technique and vision. Wish Dolan would feck off to another club, IMO, a vastly overrated little upstart. Difficult one to call without knowing Eustace's selections / tactics for this game. Think it might be one boring draw.
  5. We are roughly a fifth of the way through the league season. Based on what I've seen of the Championship so far, we are light years away offensively from the 7 clubs above us and even a number below us. I look at our offensive 4 and only Cantwell gives me hope, possibly ACD as well. If Ohashi gets the service then he might deliver. Eustace needs to be bold in his selections otherwise a turgid mediocrity awaits us at best.
  6. There's no doubt, Eustace has hit a wall. We need some big brave and bold selections - lets see if he has the cojones! Based on what I've seen so far, Beck is our best signing of the window - sadly, he's only a loan player. Undoubtedly, he should start every game as our left back. After the international break, Cantwell has to be the first name on the team sheet in the offensive 'front' 4. No p1ssing about, play him where his influence is greatest and that means in the number 10 role with Dolan jettisoned to history. ACD must also be given a run of games, he could, and I mean could, be sensational. How do we get the best out of Ohashi is the poser. With Cantwell's craft and guile in the 10 role and ACD's lighning pace down the flank, feels like he would have many more scoring opportunities. Sadly, looks like Gueye might prove to be a poor man's Gallagher. His inability to even cleanly strike the ball is very worrying. As for Toth, I only hope he proves to be the long term answer to our issues between the sticks. Think we'll soon find out if Eustace is either a 'dud' or the 'real thing'.
  7. Some perspective called for. Our home wins have come across teams presently 22nd, 17th, 12th and 10th in the league. We have also been bounced out of the Carabao by a then managerless League 1 side. Our last 3 away games (1 point against a 10 man team and 2 losses) have come against teams presently 20th, 19th and 14th in the league. I would suggest the wheels have started to come off. Eustace's selections, tactics and game management have been found sadly wanting in our last 4 games - you can excuse 1 game as these things happen but 4 consecutive games is a big concern. Personally, I'm far from convinced about Eustace and if things don't change and improve quickly we might need to look for another manager.
  8. I can't stand Dolan. I think he is a little upstart and a gobshite and his ability level matches his small physical stature. We need shut and fast. If any club is willing to pay a fee then snatch their hand off.
  9. IMO, an uninspirational figure with zero charisma. Used to leave Academy games scratching my head about this guy. What he has to offer is beyond me. Agree. Unfortunately, I think we are going to come unstuck again today. Coventry game we were very poor, QPR game again very poor in 1st half and only the introduction of Cantwell versus 10 men in 2nd half saved the day and Preston again poor. Are we 'levelling out' ? Think we are. Would like to see a front 2 of Ohashi and Gueye with Cantwell behind in the number 10 role. Who I don't want to see start today - Pears (he's going to cost us again and again and again), Dolan (no football intelligence and a headless chicken) and Baker (totally underwhelmed by what I've seen of him so far). Sadly, 3-1 to Plymouth.
  10. Utter rubbish. Options - go to pub, turn tv off or keep watching and open a red to numb the pain!
  11. Changes needed quickly otherwise game will be gone.
  12. We are getting bullied. Madness not to start with Gueye. We badly need a big physical presence.
  13. Pears treating ball like a bar of soap! Could cost us tonight.
