We picked up two bookings today for kicking the ball away. One for Bennett, and the other I can't remember, might have been Paynter. Stupid really.
2003/4 season we had probably the smallest squad we have had since returning to the league. Played a very settled side all season with the odd loan player thrown in (Brown, Melligan, Akinfenwa) and didn't struggle at all. This was a 46 game league season and arguably a tougher physical demand. Don't understand why folk seem to think we need a massive squad. We did seem under SOD to pick up players who were either crippled when we bought them or got injured with us and stayed injured. Not the case these days and long may this continue.
Doolan was 13 stone. Nearly three stones heavier than Paterson and two stones heavier than Greeny. What a legend that guy was. Him, Stock and Oster tremendous passers of ball in recent years.
Alun Armstrong or Lamine Diatta?Can't wait for the Rovers Top Trumps set to come out.
Yes your right Chris,but not every player will be a success,and Sean did sign some very poor players,but also signed a lot of very good player's,Dean doesn't seem to have wasted a signing up to now,apart from Robbie Blake,which i hope is just the match fitness and not due to his age,he's done a very good job up to now,good team spirit,hard to beat a very competitive side,plus we seem to be steadily making progress off the field,we will come back from this relegation a much stronger club on and off the field,both came to us past there best so neither:scarf:
be fair - at least Baga put a shift in and looked alright once fit Ameobi looked like he'd won a contest to play football for a living
