Anyway, your 4-3-3 is a better shout, or we move Buckley back to his preferred position in CM and play a three with two central strikers. Just as forest did against us. Quote

Just as forest did against us. we have agree to disagree on the first bit. I think we need 3 attackers on the pitch and need to play more attacking and on the front foot similar to the Cardiff and Swansea games 1 Quote
roversfan99 Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 I would be really wary of moving away from the back 3 which even recently has not been leaking goals. We don't have that good an attack in the absence of our 2 primary goal threats, to try and overcompensate for that at the expense of defensive stability is a big risk. We definitely do need to change things, Hedges needs to start, Buckley needs dropping and Gallagher too. But I would probably keep the back 3. 1 Quote

I would be even tempt to go 4-4-2. But we need to press the ball more and play on the front foot. Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Wharton Pickering Rothwell Travis Giles Hedges Dolan Gallagher Subs:- Pears ,Van Hecke, Johnson, Khadra, Vale Buckley, JRC Would be very harsh on dropping Van Hecke but I want to play 4 at the back and was tempt to drop Nyambe but kept faith with him I know he missed the penalty, but Khadra was far more effective than Gallagher. He won the penalty after a mazy run, he nearly scored with a curling shot at the end, he put in a ball at the start of the second half that was dying for a striker to tap in, (Gallagher was nowhere near) he hit a decent free kick in the first half, he got someone sent off and he got to the byline a couple of times, once with a very good cut back that Buckley got in Rothwells way for. What did Gallagher do bar win 2 free kicks miles out? 1 Quote

I hope you enjoy the day and a win. Let us know if the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as you see the pitch for the first time. Mine did, almost 60 years ago - we won 7-2 2 Quote
rigger Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 I would go with; KAMINSKI LENIHAN VAN HECKE WHARTON DOLAN TRAVIS PICKERING BUCKLEY ROTHWELL GALLAGHER KHADRA Quote

Hope you enjoy! Few things to remember: 1) It used to be cleaner/well maintained 2) The beer selection inside is crap 3) You're unlikely to see us score a goal based on current form I'm sure you'll have a great time though, nothing like watching Rovers live. 3 Quote

As for Gallagher last night, dear me: No headers Turned in the box and lost it Shot way over Slid in when the ball was 2 yards away. Turned in the box and lost it again. Pickering shows him how to shoot. Sadly he is our only striker so gets in on a technicality. He has showed in the past he can hit a ball . Where Dolan and bucko can’t get a decent shot off to save there lives. After that I don’t know who else we have to play down the middle. I know it isn’t much of a shake up player wise but positionally it is and I think it plays to the team’s strengths with the players we have available Edited February 24, 2022 by Oldgregg86 Quote

Cherry Blue Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 We see them practicing shots pre match and it looks impressive yet during games it rarely happens. Pickering had a good attempt last night that was blocked and Khadra had one narrowly missing top left. But that was it. No point practicing if we ain't using. Hedges before Gallagher is a no brainer for me. He knows exactly what to do to get a permanent team place and must be eager to get the ball and show Gallagher what's needed. Quote
tomphil Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Is it only me who thinks Gallagher has got progressively worse football wise since hes been back here ? Never great but he's the shadow of the guy who was on loan here in a really poor side. Always works hard these days but they've literally just turned him into a workhorse. If they'd made him a battering ram up top from the get go instead of winger/wide striker i'm sure he'd be a lot better. 1 Quote

simongarnerisgod Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 only prediction im`e making is we won`t score any goals because mowbray will keep the same formation😥 Quote

How tall is the tea lady and can she jump, getting her feet of the ground, to head the ball. If the answer is 5'5'' and maybe then tell her to get her boots on. She can't be any worse and SG should be able to boil a kettle ...... maybe ..... Quote
