One piece of play in that first half sums Mowbray up we have the ball level with Doncaster 18 yard line. Ball ends up with our keeper we kept possession mind. Oh and pears is far worse than Steele.

I think the concern is Mowbray has previous for dithering where defenders are concerned

Have you tried fa.com?

Fully agree but that can't be said of Mowbray apart from kaminski. I am expecting Johnson to play centre half on a regular basis until others are fit

No but if the search for defenders ends up like the search for a goalkeeper the summer Raya left will you be happy? At least they are getting their business done early.

Preston signed a goalkeeper on loan today. That's a third signing this week meanwhile we're still waiting on defenders coming.

Joey Barton favourite for Sheff We'd job

You have more confidence than me in Mowbray I have to say. Best part of a week into the window three moved out on loan none yet arrived!

Moeen Ali tests positive on arrival in Sri Lanka having been negative before setting off. Has to be a concern for England cricket tournament unless it is a false positive

Yes they are

What if Pike wasn't the only one from the under 23's to be selected in the defense?

What else do we expect perfect opportunity for square pegs. I haven't any idea of the formation with that selection 4-4-2 4-2-4? 4-4-1-1

Shrewsbury have covid in the camp so Harry won't be making a debut anytime soon

Remember going to Alex Stepney testimonial match against benfica in the seventies. Docherty had an entertaining attacking side in his time at man ure

Tommy Docherty at 92 after a long illness.

I'd pick the entire back four from the under 23's at least they are all used to playing the position and together. Absolutely no stability in the selection process and with the injuries more encouragement for Tony's tombola to put square pegs in round holes

Anyone who can organise a defense not too much to ask is it?

Defence for Birmingham away Buckley lenihan bell Douglas. ? That's grim.

Reminiscent of his latter days at Celtic when he had so many players out of position no one had a clue where they were playing when chasing a game still none the wiser after all these years

Yep this is where he is fortunate with no fans in the ground can hang around for a lot longer than would otherwise be the case
