Thanks for the review Steve . I’m depressed about the Rovers and the football they are playing.
I thought TM’s change of style might prove me wrong . I’m not a big fan of the pointless possession game , I prefer a quicker more direct approach. To be fair it looked like he’d cracked it early on , but he’s been well and truly sussed since those early season wins .
I’m not sure what his next move will be , but the Rovers strategy on the pitch is now just as directionless as the strategy off it .
I must say we aren't far off tbh although the probable loss of Armstrong will set us back a long way.
But
1. We need a plan B for when other teams press us high up the pitch with the aim of cutting off the supply line to Armstrong.
2. Once around the box instead of passing in ever decreasing circles we need to move the ball quicker into the danger area than we have been doing before the opposing defenders can organise themselves, turn to face up the pitch.
3. We need a decent threat from midfield. I'd be tempted to try Rothwell in Dack's role at Brockhall.
4. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this but we need to replace dumb and dumber.
