You miss the point I'm making. Yes, different teams, players and styles but Pep utilises his most potent force where he works best and not shunted out left or right. Cantwell is our most potent force and he should play where he is on the ball as often as possible in order to pull the strings and that is central 10 and not on the feckin left! Simple as!

Cantwell is our most creative force. You want him where he will be on the ball the most and where he will pull the strings. That is in the central number 10 role. Your thoughts are akin to City playing Haaland out wide on the left or right! What do you not get?

Seem to recall you saying you'd been to an evening with Moebray at Ewood and how impressed you were with him?

Hirst - come on Chaddy, think 9 out of 10 of supporters thought he was a donkey! Looked a different player at Ipswich which you have to put down to the manager and coaches there. Identifying potential is part of the art of good recruitment. Again, full credit to the the manager and coaches there who are developing his talent and getting the best out of him. 5 goals in the PL already this season. To think your mate Mowbray allegedly said 'no' to City's offer of Delap on loan in Mowbray's last January window says it all!!!

We all thought Hirst was dogshit. You also thought Delap was "shit" !!!

Did you actually watch the match or are you regaling your dream from last night! In the main, we are awful to watch and punchless. Carter out for up to 3 months is going to be one big miss - Hyam, Batth and Mcfad wont be enough to see us through. Can't play the 2 T's together in midfield. Offensively, only Cantwell offers something of quality - IMO, Hedges just not up to it, Weimann finished, Dolan headless chicken, Siggy can't be arsed, Ohashi flash in the pan and can't play lone striker and Gueye, someone please take him to Blackpool beach. Good job we have some decent points already on the board as it's going to be one long hard, hard winter

Yep I'd go with that other than Ohashi instead of Dolan. Ohashi can't play the lone striker role but with Gueye there to do the heavy lifting, his finishing skills get him a huge nod over Dolan. Someone was telling me last night that Dolan has only 2 goals and 2 assists in 11 games - that is dreadful for any forward but having played mainly in his favoured 10 role, it's a diabolical return and further evidence, IMO, that he's grossly overrated and flatters to deceive. Cantwell has to be the focal point of our offensive threat. He is different class to our other offensive players and he did some excellent stuff last night. He must be nearing full fitness now and we need him pulling the strings in our offensive play as much as possible.

Reminds me of John O'Mara and Johnny Price back in the early 1970's. Big John, all 6 feet 4 inches of him was getting no service into the box, if O'Mara had anything, it was a usefulness in the air. The crowd wanted the wee winger Johnny Price on to provide some service. You guessed it, Price came on and O'Mara was taken off!

Dolan needs to do better in all aspects of his game. Apart from one half decent cross in the 2nd half, just wtf has he done!? Overrated on an industrial scale.

Get Hedges, Dolan and Ohashi off. Brittain wide right, Siggy left, Cantwell number 10 role and Gueye up front.

Another poor watch. Other than Cantwell, where is the quality offensively? Don't get me going about Dolan - IMO, piss poor yet again. Very lucky still to be in this. Eustace needs to break out of his straitjacket.

Absolute tosh to it all. Think you are just a mouth piece for Rovers echoing all that Eustace et al say. Be objective and form your OWN OPINIONS like most on this MB do.

You don't half spout some nonsense. Firstly, Cantwell said at Rangers and recently Rovers, number 10 is his best position. A friend was showing me some stats on Cantwell's starting position in his last 50 games at Rangers and Norwich. 30 were in central midfield and JUST ONE in the left position. You play the lad where his involvement and influence can be at its greatest and it's not stuck out on the feckin left. I don't want him tracking back covering our left back as you state, I want the lad hurting the feckin opposition. Best starting eleven past its time - feck me, you having a laugh? Can't imagine any manager telling the likes of George Best, Pele, Cruyff, Messi etc 'this game isn't for you son, it's a squad game and we need to take into account the opposition'. Question for you Chaddy - who do you think is best for the 10 role, Dolan or Cantwell?

That would be my team too. We have only one player who has genuine quality as a creative force and that is Cantwell. Cantwell SHOULD NOT be shunted to the left where his talent is wasted (conversely, akin to playing Gallagher wide right where his limitations were even more exposed) - he should be there in the 10 role and given as much of the ball as possible. IMO, Dolan is a headless chicken with little or no football intelligence and he needs shunting out of the team completely, preferably to another club. I think our standard of performance has dropped alarmingly over the last half dozen games and we have been a very hard watch. We badly need some creativity and football intelligence and Cantwell and Siggy should be given their heads. My fear is Eustace won't see the light and make the changes necessary and Wednesday will be another turgid performance with a revitalised and good WBA team running out winners by at least 2 goals.

My team Toth /JRC, Batth, Carter, Beck / the 2 T's / ADC, Cantwell, Weimann / Gueye Don't want to see Hyam, Pickering, Baker, Dolan anywhere near that team. We got off to a good start but think it's clear we flattered to deceive after some of the dross seen over our last 4 games. Cantwell has to play the 10 role and be given licence to go anywhere and do what he wants - the one quality offensive player we have with great technique and vision. Wish Dolan would feck off to another club, IMO, a vastly overrated little upstart. Difficult one to call without knowing Eustace's selections / tactics for this game. Think it might be one boring draw.
