Rovers are certainly wearing their GPS vests during a game, so data is available virtually immediately. Wasn't aware football authorities had cleared players to wear them. But if that is the case then the data should be used to tailor fatigued players training routines so that they are all available for selection on matchday. I'm sure that is too logical for some on here though. GPS devices cleared and being used

Aren't JCS & PH both left footers, if so, I can;t see them ever starting together in a league match, although wasn't TL MotM according to some on Saturday, which seems to go against DC's views that players benefited from having a rest after the Millwall/Crawley games!
I don't see that as a problem when it comes to CB's. They are usually in the middle of the pitch unlike full backs where it would impact a lot more.
I played CB all my footballing life (albeit at County level) and what side we were on was never debated as usually you would be assigned to pick up one of the strikers (usually based on height or speed).
Yes I agree Tom played very well on Saturday but overall he hasn't had the best starts to the season and others have been sitting in the stands after playing well!
hang on? you were district league before! now your county league?? parkes and mcchrystal played together quite a bit and they both left footers but dc has almost always selected lockyer since hes been manager .

It now seems that DC will only play wingers if he has two available and fully fit. I really can't see why you can't play with one winger and three other midfielders. If this is right then Monty not only has to play well but hope that whoever is on the other wing plays well to!! As I see it both Monty and Bodin spend quite a lot of time going inside to allow the full backs to overlap so what difference does it really make if you play one winger and the extra midfielder rather than two wingers. Seems to be any old excuse to me.

I have played pretty much every local level in Bristol & Bath even the regional league but always as CB. IMO it doesn't matter what foot a CB favours.
Retired from footy now so I can watch Rovers pretty much every game.

I have been consistently arguing that a manager should have as many players available for matches as possible, you're the one who is happy that if players are fatigued AFTER training that there are rested for matches. It's very easy to understand you just need to read what is written. Why anyone, even you, would want only 11 players is beyond my reckoning. I'll put it very simply again for you (& to a much lesser extent faggoty) if the technology & data is there and the manager & his staff trust it then it should be used AFTER matches to identify those players who need to be rested from training not solely AFTER training to identify those players that should be rested from matches. Simples, even for you.

You know its time to retire when you cant catch the strikers to take their knees out anymore

Or when you find yourself playing for the Third Team, and they ask if you can play in goal

It's not really, though. AFCW could be at the bottom of the table on three points and DC would still make lots of changes and we would still have drawn with MKDonalds and we would still be in the top half. Or they could be ten points clear at the top and DC would still make lots of changes and we would still have drawn with MKDonalds and we would still be in the top half. The point made was that AFCW had got to where they are with a different approach (and probably a smaller budget which means AFCW have to adopt the approach they do) and I was agreeing with the post. If you disagree fair enough but it's still true that they have. And of course you are correct that whatever anyone else does DC will still do what he does and I wouldn't swap us for them! UTG!

Seems to be any old excuse to me. Because even if you play with one out and out winger, the midfielder on the other side is still playing in a specialist position, you can't just play three central midfielders and one winger. Sinclair played there a bit in his first season and struggled, whilst Monkhouse was a natural as a compact left midfielder, letting Brown overlap. We don't have someone to naturally fit that role now. If he put Sincs or say, Colkett in left midfield now and it didn't work,there would be plenty of people queuing up to say that he shouldn't play people out of position, which to his credit, is something he really doesn't like to do.

442 is sh**e when you have loads of possession. Just slows the game down whole you get it to the wingers, who then have to cross it into a set defence

Or maybe he should play Lines and Mansell in central midfield and build the team around them.By p-laying Mansell you have a naturally holding midfielder who is disciplined in his play,ie holds his position,therefore releasing Lines to do what comes naturally to him,that is play a more attacking role,thus giving the 2 front men,whoever is picked the benefit of a better standard of ball rather than what we have been seeing lately hoof it uop and hope it stcks

You can't fault Sinclair's energy and enthusiasm, but in my view he has a tendency to get pulled out of position. I'd also agree that it also seems to have the effect of Lines dropping deeper and then attempting 40 yard balls - rather than being higher up the field where he can do more damage with his penetrating runs. Our passing from midfield was particularly poor on Tuesday, mostly because we were continually attempting the difficult ball, rather than playing it simpler.
