v Luton Town (h) 11/9/21

[lraC]

The first game ever for my Grandson today. He is aged 7 and been brainwashed by me. Hope we can get a win for him.

I'd like Buckley to be played in the deep lying position, alongside Travis, with Rothwell pushed forward. Last season, Buckley's best games were in that position. I'm not sure the moving him around to false 9, attacking midfield and so on are helping. Rothwell has also struggled when moved around but, I feel, is a bit more threatening in the attacking third.

However, I suspect Leighton Clarkson will start and Buckley on the bench.

I'm expecting a draw. Given the money we've spent, compared to Luton, we should win this comfortably but Mowbray is still scratching around for his best team and formation. I'm expecting Amari'i Bell to have a good game too, in his new lease of life as a Jamaica international.

judging clarkson so far,it appears he`s a buckley clone,so id`e start the player who actually belongs to us,tony will probably do the opposite🤔

It’s my daughters first game too using her brothers season ticket, she’s 5 so I’m doubtful it’s going to hold her attention

I'm tied up in knots here mate, don't want to all these loans but if Bucko is the next then God knows 🤷‍♂️

As mentioned Butterworth looks like he may start with TM saying in training he shoots with either foot and can smell opportunities. We need these new strengths on the pitch not just in training.

agreed,it`s time he was given a start,in his correct position i hope!!

[Dreams of 1995]

Butterworth has looked a good player every time he’s played. He’s twice the player Dolan is but just doesn’t run around like a headless chicken. 
 

Dolans work rate is fantastic but unfortunately I don’t think he’s got the vision for a top player. I’d much prefer Butterworth against the likes of Luton and play Dolan for the championship teams who think they can play like City, example being Swansea

dolan is very raw but has got a lot of potential,he really needs a decent manager to bring it out of him,at the moment the best use for him to bring him on against tiring defenders

He was saying all this before announced Brererton is available.

Don't think he will start him now but hopefully he will get some minutes at least

I've definitely seen Butterworth run around like a headless chicken before.

Brereton starts

Not a single summer signing in the starting 11

I think the narrative was that we start the season with what we have and add some quality and experience to help the kids...obviously that never happened. 

[WacoRover]

I like this lineup. I bet we see Khadra today, too. 

COYB!

[Angry_Pirate]

I really dislike Luton's manager... hope we absolutely spank them.

Can't see it. 1-1.

[OsloRover]

What’s going on with RoversTV? 
It says the video is unavailable in my country (Norway) but it should be as the only broadcasted match today is the Blackpool game. It even says so on EFLs website.

You just can’t ever trust RoversTV.

Well.  Decided to go last min.  Says a lot about our recruitment that they are either injured or only deemed good enough for the bench.  

First live game in ages.  Better not be  Mowbray crab football.

Thanks for the info. No mention of this anywhere else. I’m starting to hate Viaplay with a passion now.

Hope Gallagher is through the middle and Dolan isn't deployed the centre.

I’m no fan but at least he called out the Mowbray/fan boy myth about our budget by saying it how it is. Even if it was totally self serving from him almost making excuses pre match (straight from the moggasurus playbook) the reality is we do have a big budget in this division compared to a lot of sides. The fact we do nothing with it is another issue. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Too many weak links in today's team for me. Right side consisting of Buckley, Dolan & Nyambe to name 3.

No new signings in the side.

[bluebruce]

Sorry I don't care what anyone else thinks of Dolan. Half the time he's the only entertainment in all this turgid shite. Love him.

[Doug]

Dolan looks up for it!! 😄
