What the hell is the point in playing Walton or Samuel?

I think the eventual honesty over budgets proves that we couldn’t go for that Scottish GK who TM was desperate to get. I think we’ll be in a right mess for the new season, personally.

It’s hard to argue with that - if promotion is the aim. But you’d have to say that Arma would need to play on the left of a 3 up top to be successful (or up top itself) as opposed to left wing in a 4-4-2.

Keen to know why? Who is scoring out of that lot, bar Arma. And as I say, if you look at his goals, they’re usually self made - he doesn’t finish off good team moves etc.

Replace ‘Graham’ with ‘Samuel’ then be worried.

That ship is going to sail big time for us. Given their backing, imaging they’ll get a good name in.

Thoughts on TM, right now Chaddy? Not on the wind up - genuinely curious if you’d keep him.

How many years did we give Johnson? 2? 2 years too many. Never moved from Derby and doesn’t give a toss. Surely some fools would take him off our hands.

Not gonna find me arguing, DS. I’d have played Graham over all striking options bar Arma for the past few matches, but now we’re playing for nothing I’m not so sure (surely we can’t justify another 12 months when he never plays?). We’re going to be up sh!t creek next season - I have no doubt about it. As I say, Arma (IMO) won’t continue to pull worldies out of the hat (and will probably be sold anyway).

Finally. I live in Bristol and he’s been coasting it for far too long. Fan pressure finally got there. What pressure is there on Mowbray? None.

I also saw our 6’0 other multi million pound striker round the keeper and fall ass over tit. If it wasn’t so serious a problem it would be funny. I would say we should try some other lads up top, but who else is there other than a 35 year old Danny Graham?!

As an aside, an Arma wonder goal aside, we just never look like scoring do we. Given what he’s spunked on strikers, it ain’t good enough.

Absolutely terrible. Again. Same issues. Again. Likes of Gallagher and Samuel need never where our famous blue and white halves again. But they will. Samuel is probably having a shiny two year deal prepped as I type. Awful, just awful. I wish Mowbray would do the honourable thing that he keeps talking about.

Biscuit and brew time is it?

What’s the point in investing in goal posts and nets at Brockhall with Samuel, Gallagher and Brereton as our super strikers.

A Mowbray classic death spiral run well and truly underway here.

1-0 Leeds. Great start, lads. Really good to see such a strong response from us.

Gallagher RW again. Words fail me.

#Rovers XI: Walton, Nyambe, Lenihan, Adarabioyo, Bennett, Travis, Johnson, Rothwell, Armstrong, Holtby, Gallagher Bennet still at LB. I said Gallagher would be back in for Samuel. Rinse and repeat. Great to have Travis and Lenihan back.

Don’t even begin to get your hopes up. Even if Bell had returned to fitness like prime Roberto Carlos, he won’t be keeping Bennett out of the side. That or he’ll be shoehorned in somewhere. Expect the headless donkey Gallagher to be back in too.

Tony does not like this. Reckon we’ll see more of the same and a bit of a tonking. Rovers 0 Leeds 3 As an aside, Chaddy you want to go and get your head checked out at the quacks for putting Samuel in your Rovers 11.

He shouldn't be playing RW end of, but he doesn't have a strikers instinct. He's never on the end of crosses - even Samuel showed him up on that yesterday (albeit with woeful finishing).

Not sure of that - will likely mean Gallagher plays.

He’s definitely over playing these ‘chances’. Samuel obviously had a couple glorious ones, we had that goalmouth scramble where Johnson(?) diverted it over. Arma half chance. Can’t think of any more?
