That was such an enjoyable evening as, for a rare occurrence I could relax and really enjoy a Rovers performance. What a credit to the club these youngsters are. Great attitude and desire to do well a

Spoke to Gregg briefly after the game. His words ‘working on 3’ I asked what positions and he replied I can’t go into detail.    He said none are names that have been linked yet.

So who would you play instead of Carter and Brittain, also where would you play Gilsenan ?

I would shove dolan full back as a trial. Hes woeful going forward. But he might just solve us a full back crisis. He has the attributes, hes got some pace, hes fit enough to get up and down, and he does fill in well tracking back. he did on sunday when brittain was out of position. Its not the hardest position in the world to play. Might also free up having to get another full back in. 

Expand  

Dont see how Dolan plays full back? Poor in air, lacks pace,  and his defensive game is all about pressing and closing - not something you can do much at full back where holding good position is paramount.

Gamble and Dolan.

Be interested to see is Dolan could play like a right sided Le Saux. 

Doubt it will work, but he isn't doing the job further forward..

Exactly my thoughts. 

A good place to try.

hes a professional football player. We aren't asking a chef to play football. Wing and full back are not the hardest positions to adjust to if the player in question works hard off the ball which dolan can do. Its not like your playing a keeper outfield. Dolan would literally be playing in the same area of the pitch. he will just be more in his own half than usual. Likes of ashley young, james milner have both done it. Look at matt cash at villa, hes gone from right back to right wing on the weekend. players that can play in the wide areas can adjust to playing wing or full back if they have the right attributes. We literally barely have any full backs and we have no money, and dolans been awful on the wing. Imo it would be worth a look, it wont do any harm, hes got more experience than a kid with no experience in there, and if he plays well might be able to save some money\loan\signing on a full back and it might help refresh his rovers career.

Dolan would be like a fish out of water at full back. Some players can play different positions but I don't believe that Dolan has any of the attributes and certainly not the discipline to play in a defensive role. It's just not going to happen in my view.

Gallagher, Moran, Wahlstedt and Buckley are starting according to JDT.

JRC out injured until after the international break and Batty won't make tomorrows game.

Expand  

Reading Rovers website, it seems like Pickering is a starter too.

And his comment that it will be nice to see new players could point to a couple of youngsters getting debuts although going raw youth in both central defence and right back is a huge risk.

Perhaps Gamble in defence and Bloxham further forward given they were in the set up at Watford?

If Dolan is being moved around, perhaps to number 10 to see if he can hack it there although I'd much prefer Gilsenan there if he is fit?

Dolan as a right sided Le Saux.

I've definitely heard it all now.

I would think that a great majority of people who attended the Walsall game, had no chance of getting a Harrogate ticket.

Given that the attendance against Walsall was 6,173 and there are only 450 Harrogate tickets available it is impossible to argue with your mathematics.

Don't 'care about getting through'? Wow.

Personally speaking, I want us to win every single game we play.

I find it incredible that any fan doesn't want to progress in any competition. Beating West Ham last season was one of the highlights for me. And Tomasson thankfully makes a big thing about progressing in both cups when the games come around. Quite the opposite of his dolt of a predecessor.

I never can grasp why people say such drivel whenever we play in the cups.

If the argument was that it isn't as important as other games, fine, but I can't fathom not caring.

We want to get through of course. 

But in the real world we are very short of defenders and I wouldn't risk an important player on a crap pitch. 

JDT loves the competition but made 11 changes. At least I am honest.

Rotating to protect players? Understandable. Not caring if we win or lose? Not at all understandable.
