I agree to an extent but count how many city or liverpool do as well. The difference is their forwards make runs and give them an option for that forward ball and they’re on goal within seconds. Ours stand still with a defender stuck to them.
Garners header first half was unlucky. He had beaten the keeper, it was a goal if it was on target he isn’t saving it.
He makes attacking subs, he shouldn’t have changed it.
Bringing Massey on for the Keeper would not be deemed an attacking substitution.
It is like playing the game with 10 men when that useless pillock is playing.[/quote]Gone backwards a few steps since signing a new deal
Would be great to see but like I said, they’d be under pressure to do something to win the game and to not make a mistake and lose us the game. Some players thrive off that (wayne rooney for example although he’d been playing a while before that goal) others dont. Cook obviously doesn’t want to put them in that position.
There’s no point going on about it, I don’t think it’s going to change.
Not sure you need all that George for a like for like sub. The players still on the pitch do exactly what they have been doing.
JR is right though, but the players have to take some responsibility also for the loss in concentration that occurs. We can’t keep the same 11 out there just to make sure we don’t concede
Can’t understand why more of these lads aren’t involved with first team. They ain’t kids. Some cracking players on show. About time we trusted some of our young players.You want kids coming into the team to play with freedom and have no fear. In our position you can’t do that. I think the hope this season was that we would be higher up the table and could do that but we are where we are.
Of course on the flip side they could come in and play with no fear which could actually help us. Nothing to lose I suppose if we are already losing.
As I’ve said before it’s a huge step up as the EFL Trophy shows with U23s sides losing to League 1 and 2 clubs. Some on twitter constantly say we should play the 23s every week. The last time we did that we lost 4-0 to Accrington Stanley and everyone had a meltdown.
I once went to a meeting with Jonathan Jackson who explained our accounts and how we struggle to operate at this level. Derby County’s wage bill is higher than the TV revenue so already they operate at a loss. Luckily for them they have a fanbase to fall back on. We don’t and so we can’t afford to operate at too great a loss which means our wage structures and transfer budgets are far lower than most clubs at this level. We are League One millionaires and Championship paupers.Et voila
Mulgrew interview doesn’t read well…..sounds like he was very unhappy and glad to be back at Rovers irrespective of getting a game.The few points I got from it were:
He isn’t fit so his decision is nothing to do with being behind Naismith in the pecking order
He struggled to make the decision so sounds like he hasn’t fallen out with anybody
That leads me to think it’s one of:
He wants the move but Blackburn won’t accept our bid so he is trying to force a move
Or the more likely option that he doesn’t fancy a relegation on his CV even if it is only a loan
? #Rovers return the right move for me@charlie_mulgrew speaks to iFollow after returning to the club from his loan spell with #wafc.

Not sure what this rovers fan is referring to. Either a dig at Mulgrew’s ability or he didn’t see us play them off the park.
Club website posts positive report about club shocker.
Mowbray says he wants to play every week but he isn’t going to play him, which he knew, so he hasn’t gone back for that.
I suspect that regardless of how well Naismith has done, of Mulgrew was match fit he would have played.
Seems a strange one and I suspect that only Charlie Mulgrew (and possibly his agent) know the reasons behind it.
He’s been about the only player who consistently tries to go forward.All well and good, but he’s a defender who can’t defend
