I still feel the deep wound of McClaren not properly dismissing the Newcastle rumours which directly led to all the vital players being injured and us missing out on promotion.

So he says, but if you remember back to when he was our manager (shudder), his words very rarely correlated with reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Height, build, hair, movement style etc, I've got them mixed up on occasion and although probably not even realising it and not willing to admit it I bet so have a few others.

Was poached by another club for decent money , had taken us to the play offs with awful playstyle and turned Vydra into an actual sellable asset. On a personal basis, Mel and Rowett probably don't enjoy each others company, but there's no denying Rowett brought a decent amount of funds into the club (which seemed to have funded alot of our transfers since) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually use their boots to tell them apart... but if I'm honest, I thought it was Dowell Saturday too, and I was there! Just assumed Dowell would've been the one in the box, not Evans.

If only there was some unambiguous marking to tell them apart..... perhaps an 18inch high number on the backs of their shirts which is unique to them and you can cross reference to a list....? nah, never catch on ?

Because every time you look at a player they've got their back to you and the number is in clear sight, obviously, It's also law that when a goal has been scored the only acceptable celebration for anyone involved in the goal is to stop moving, stand in position then jump round in a circle 4 times pointing their thumbs over their shoulders and at the number on their back.

SaintRam Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I don't find it too difficult to tell them apart. They've a very similar body type but Dowell's gait is much looser; Evans almost looks tense when he runs. That's not a very good way of saying it but I'm not sure how to describe it.

I use this method to differentiate between Holmes and Keogh (amongst others), before turning to the old guy behind me, to make "a knowledgeable comment". Always best to make sure, before making yourself look like an idiot! What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
