Rowlands

[NW9_RANGER]

well just goes to show how we all see things differently. that probably explains why helguson started today lol

[Sam-QPR]

It did look bad but I know this is going to sound harsh but this could be fate, thought we looked a different team when Buzz moved into the centre.

Just don't think Rowlands is good enough with the current squad we have to be in the starting 11. Thought up until he got injured he was very poor and give the ball away time and time again.

Still I hope it isn't serious and his recovery is swift.

i agree with that

i thought he was a bit like bircham today. running everywhere but with little success

[NW9_RANGER]

he was creating most things thru the middle in that good opening 30mins. was our best player, i do agree wen buzz came on tho he did very well tho. still one thing we can all agree on tho is our strikers are pure ****e, why cant jim? god knows...

also it seems no-one is talking about taarabt, jesus christ this bloke is full of flair but he is not what we need in the team. impact player yeah but he is way too greedy, not like we all didnt know that, but i really thought he would be tryin to impress redknapp this year to show him hes more than a bag of tricks. nope

First of all I hope his injury isn't serious.

Aside from that, I feel he slows up our play massively and allows a team like Blackpool to group behind the ball.

Buzz was absolute quality in the middle and a different class, and we actually looked like getting behind them when he was there.

Also, in the first 15 mins, when Gorkss pushed up and we played in their half, we looked excellent. Then we got deeper and looked boring like last season for a while.

Buzz has got to start in centre mid.

Spot on and your right about us when we started dropping deep. That happened because we started losing possession in the middle of the park IMO. That wasn't all Rowlys fault, the likes off Balanta was laying off some hospital balls as well. I felt we starting losing our shape in the second half of the first half when Hall started lumping 40 yard passes - making 1 out of 5 which went to Balanta

Once Buzz was moved into the centre we starting pushing on again after Rowly got injured...Vine & Aggy looked to me like they might be able to re-stablish some sort of partnership if required as well.

Hall really is a hoof merchant...lets hope JM replaces him with Connolly for the next match.

[ollyhoops]

IMO I think Rowlands has had his day sadly.... he is injury prone and also his fitness is not 100%.

Buzsaky is the player, he should start.

[pc1401]

Thought we were very predictable in the first half. Practically every ball was played into the(from where i sit) right hand corner trying to get routledge on the ball.We never really mixed it up as we should have, coz there were acres on the left,

[m_cooper]

there is no way you replace rowly with buzz,completely different players;buzz would be a liability as he would not defend;replace mahon in home games i agree with as we only need 1 holding player at home

[nn4 ranger]

Rowlands was excellent in my opinion.....the leader we have been missing. I thought he really got stuck in today. Hope it not serious.

[m_cooper]

with rowly we are a different team,last season we were starting to get up a head of steam till rowly got injured at derby.he is the driving force,a bit like when ainsworth plays
