I said 'steel the middle of the park ' not ADD steel, but you carry on.
He has energy, a great engine, can tackle and adds height too.

It is an issue that we have a lightweight midfield especially as teams will watch us and realise that you can nullify bigiaramana pretty easily especially if Stevenson is struggling and McCann is out.
He can't do a lot about it as ghadzev looks terrible.
Rose is just an up and down the pitch athlete who may get some goals but generally is pretty limited.

Why did you want him getting game time then?Can he tackle?
Had he actually ever played in the middle 3 behind 2 others? He seems to end up right wing back, right midfield, support midfielder for the forwards.
If he's the answer you've asked the wrong question I'm afraid.
If only we could strengthen now, cc4l, we would have a decent team.Rose can play a role in team. Not sure being tough is it though
We just played a physical side and win 2 nil. Have some faith in the kids
or failing that, let's hope Gadzhev can start producing whatever it was TM saw in him to make him sign him.If only we could strengthen now, cc4l, we would have a decent team.
Losing McCann in the midfield is a bit of a blow. Let's cross our fingers and hope he's not out for too long.

Yea we didn't pass and move the ball well but it was still a comfortable win, Rochdale never really looked like scoring and nearly all of the clear cut chances fell to us.Comfortably?
Each and every to their own.
We deserved to win, but that was anything but comfortable to my eyes.
Think we just saw the game differently, which is fine. Rose for me was the obvious choice to come on and steel the middle of the park.
I assume cos rose plays cm more than Reid who is out wide in careerWhy was rose the obvious choice, Reid's pace was vital for the counter attack plan which worked perfectly.
Yea but we changed shape after McCann went off.I assume cos rose plays cm more than Reid who is out wide in career
You misunderstand me. I'm not saying it was a bad decision. Just saying why most people including me would have expected rose or gadzhev to come on for MannYea but we changed shape after McCann went off.
We started as a 433 but after the injury went 4231 with lameiras pushed into number 10 and Reid went out wide.
And it worked didn't it, lameiras played a big part in both goals and we went on to win 2-0 and never really looked like conceding.
Not talking about the Reid substitution. I am talking about the second substitution in the second half.Why was rose the obvious choice, Reid's pace was vital for the counter attack plan which worked perfectly.
Thought we were outplayed for most of the match, they controlled the midfield but toothless up front.
Willis deserved MOM and thought Reid changed things for us when he came on, 100% effort.
No leader on the pitch though, maybe Rose should have replaced Lameiras on the hour mark when we were really under the cosh.
Lameiras awful game but we got away with it.
I thought he flitted in and out myself.Lameiras was my MOTM

You would have Lameiras as MOTM over Jordan Willis?
Interesting.
Burge 5 - Most shots straight at him. Wasn't bad, although some of his distribution truly was.
Sterry 6 - Error riddled at times, but some stout defending in there too.
Turnbull 5 - Bullied a lot by Andrew, their centre forward.
Willis 9 - Fantastic performance from the lad. Great spirit and determination and didn't dive in. Very assured performance and MOTM by a country mile.
Page 6 - Not a bad effort from him. In fact all the back four did their jobs for the most part, but some of the passing and distribution from the back was shocking.
Bigi 6 - Normal Bigi. Some great stuff and some suicidal passing.
McCann n/a - Off to early to warrant any score.
Stevenson 6 - Some little bits of lovely football, but was muscled out of it too often by a very physical Rochdale side.
Lameiras 5 - Again, bits and pieces. Some lovely footwork, but disappears too often and another often out muscled.
Sordell 6 - Not for his forwards work, but for his defence duties. At times he was playing as a full back, but he did defend very well.
Aygei 6 - Started quite brightly and got the goal and also should have had another one, but faded out of the game very quickly.
Reid 7 - Breath of fresh air when he came on and at first he was sensational, but once again he drifted out of the game due to our inability to retain possession.
Venus 4 - We started dreadfully, got the goal and things looked brighter, but that second half it was all Rochdale, we were completely on the back foot and glancing over constantly at the bench, Venus seemed most reluctant to change anything and didn't even have anyone warming up when quite clearly a change was needed and the obvious candidate was to bring Rose on, to try and help retain and win the ball in midfield.
Thought he was tactically inept today unfortunately.
You misunderstand me. I'm not saying it was a bad decision. Just saying why most people including me would have expected rose or gadzhev to come on for Mann
I thought reid was great. He can get past a man with ease from standing starting position which I like
Reckon will get 5 or so goals this year I think
I think this is a very obvious case of what I was worried about, that Venus will be given very little room for error. Fans are ready to jump on his back for just about anything because he's a director and seen as a sisu yes man.Only our fans could give our Manager a 4/10 rating after a 2-0 home win lmao
