Middlesbrough away 28th August

[USABlue]

Already mad just reading this thread and mentions of ToMo's permutations.  WTF this guy is just infuriating me.  Dies he fancy himself as some sort of football genius, some innovative tactical thinker FFS Tony give it up and just okay iur olayers in their best.oositions then go from there.  He just is too stubborn to change.  I despise it.

£25-£38 pounds to watch the same manager trying the same things with a bunch or raw kids and loans.

I missed one home game cos of work in over 8 years but I honestly can't say I would do likewise with these prices and the sideways backwards football on offer.  I remember when I went we won the ball and went forwards all the time, lot more entertaining, I can't stand watching us go from the opponents box to our keepr in 3 passes it is awful way to play.

Looks a good lineup to me

[davulsukur]

Leeds lad down the middle and Gallagher outwide

Just piss off Mowbray 

[G Somerset Rover]

Yep, will be 5’5 Poveda down the middle and 6’3 Gally on the wing. Some things never change.

[simongarnerisgod]

the telegraph have got gally and brereton up front with a midfield diamond,the leeds lad is playing central,not sure how accurate it is,tony has never played two strikers together in his whole regime

[Bigdoggsteel]

People need to come to terms with the fact Gallagher won't be central whilst Mowbray is here.

I'm looking forward to seeing Clarkson and Poveda

Thank God, the awful Buckley dropped. Time to loan him out.

Which is exactly why Tony shouldn't be let anywhere near transfer funds for another striker. We may likely need one but it's really hard to make that call when he refuses to play an actual striker in that position - that and the two he refuses to play there cost a significant amount of money already.

Dropping our own youth players to develop another clubs player. No wonder our players won’t sign new deals 

[rovers11]

Like the look of that line up.

sends a terrible message to our younger players imo

[SuperBrfc]

Good lineup overall. Pleased to see the new signings start and I'm looking forward to seeing how they link up. It's too much to ask to have Poveda on the right and a striker down the middle though! Some things will never change. But anyway, COYB.

[Bigdoggsteel]

This isn't on Rovers TV, is it? 

[matt83]

Our own youth players consistently outperform these so called big clubs academy sides at pretty much all levels. Yet once again a leeds academy player goes straight in.

No, it isn't. There is only radio commentary available on Radio Lancs as far as I can tell.

Is he better than Buckley and Dolan? 

I don't there is any point in questioning the lad starting without having ever seen him play. 

It doesn't matter he's on loan, he's our player now and winning is all that matters.

We don't seem to have a problem getting the younger ones to sign new deals, Buckley , Costello and Carter have all signed new deals in recent months

No idea if he’s better than Buckley or Dolan but they are rovers players this guy is a leeds United player. Loan players are like running on a treadmill they get us nowhere, he might be good or terrible but he’ll be off next season or sooner and it’s done nothing for rovers.

It does matter he is on loan , of course it does because wont be here next year but buckley and dolan will be

[WacoRover]

I’m interested to see how the loaners work out. I still feel loaners don’t truly benefit us in the long run, we only have ‘em a year. I like both these guys, but I don’t see these as good enough to get us into the playoffs.

Unfortunately I don't think I can.

It's a complete and total failure of an idea that he won't admit to, so keeps persisting with it, in a vein hope it comes off.

Terrible management and the issue was resolved for him with the sale of AA and the signing of this Leeds winger.

And he still puts them the wrong way round!

I wouldn’t be concerning yourself with the playoff places!
