[Archived] Sam Allardyce

[47er]

Credit for the win but 3-0? Another awful boring game and as for the negativity from Sam actually stopping an attack and making us turn a genuune attack into a backpass buggers belief. And before anyone accuses me of booing ..it wasn't me !

Didn't believe we could argue with a 3-0 win but with Sam as the manager apparently we can! At least he's safe from the sack---for another week anyway!

Wow, a McNulty blog on the Rovers, he must have been diverted to Ewood as Blackpool was postponed.

Yes, it would have been nice to potentially get another goal or two, but once Wolves began desperately throwing more forward, it became more important to A: maintain our 3-goal advantage and B: keep a clean sheet.

Beggars belief that there are still some who can take a pop at our club's manager when we've played well, won comprehensively and kept a clean sheet against one of the lower sides in the league.

God knows how some of you lot would've reacted if we'd drawn or lost!

[DanLad]

I had Samba in my fantasy team, so keeping a clean sheet was the correct ethos to adopt.

Excellent article by McNulty.

I also had Robinson as my GK.

That depends how you define 'exposed'. Inviting the opposition on to you with half hour to go counts as 'exposed' in my book. If not for Robbo, Wolves could have had 2 back before the last 5 minutes of the game. It was more one inspired performance rather than inspired tactics.

Its a gross exaggeration you're giving us. We were all over them for 70 mins apart from the first ten. Even after 70 mins we has plenty of chances to add to the score, the most obvious being that move in the final seconds involving Mame Diouf and Pedersen.

Sorry? We were all over them until we got the third. There was then a notable shift in emphasis. It worked, we got 3 points. On another day Wolves could easilly have got a couple of goals during the spell we sat back. Better opposition would have done.

I think we have long since established that Sam will not not change his methodology, so as fans we know what's coming. Half the fans are happy with this approach, half aren't. You're either blue or your white!

[John]

If anything I can be a pessimist so not getting carried away in the slightest - however when looking at the league table cannot believe how solid we are looking.

Considering we have been missing key players for most of the season, tremendous effort so far - if we can pick up some more points in our next few games, things will be looking very healthy indeed.

today wolves were there for the taking! I just don't undestand why at 3 nil (well slightly after) Sam decided to go 5 accross he back inviting pressure on us? Also with a defence such as wolves why not let Niko have half an hour try and get him going instead of nursing Diouf mk II for his best buddy sir RFW? Every time i watch us the man does something inexplicable but then i suppose I'm not the Expert

what, like win 3 - 0. yeah man, really beginning to p!ss me off now.

[Majiball]

I only watched the entire game online but I thought we played some excellent football at times- on the ground too. It was quite noticeable that we were mixing it up throughout the game (long balls and short).

If Man Utd didnt have Berbatov playing against us last week and we had all our players fit and available then we could have quite easily avoided a 7-1 drubbing last week- hypoothetical scenarios are pointless. We played a Wolves team having lost 7-1 the week before, the players were clearly nervous at the beginning but after 10 minutes I think we bossed the match. I heard somewhere that this is the third time this season that we have bounced back after a defeat to win the following match- that is HUGE credit to the manager and his staff to be able to lift and motivate the players. We also have a run of winnable games coming up and should be in comfortable in mid table before the window opens.

Sam on yesterday

Sam praises the players

Oh..everyone round me tells lies then..one person said he would rather watch pool match tonight and he was told it was off and he said I know...if the great man had a pair of nads we could have got the goals back from last week.

Can you please confirm that you're not a three year old child?

The first sentence you write is becoming a pretty frequent theme, and really is the most pathetic form of arguing you muster up, which is some feat.

Its a frequent theme because its what he believes, until something happens to change his mind he’ll be sticking with that theme.

Not so hard to understand is it?

Did you read my post?

Try as you might to be diplomatic, everyone knows Abbey's hatred is personal, and it's towards a man he's never met.

Anyone who suggests Allardyce should be removed from his post is, in my opinion, a complete moron. The job he is doing speaks for itself.

I did read you post, it started by you trying to insult a member of this board, which is pretty pathetic really, and then you continue in the same vein by claiming any who suggests Allardyce should be removed from his post is a moron.

Not much substance to anything you’ve said really is their?

[Mozzer]

10th in the league is clearly not good enough - we should be doing miles better :/

I would agree with that. In the last 6 games we been beaten by Spurs and Man Utd away from home. Did we expect to win these games? Answer is No we don't. Do we except a better performance about these teams? Answer is yes we do. We win the games we except to win?

At home against the big teams like Chelsea and Arsenal this season we perform well and should have beaten Chelsea. We do need to improve the performance against the big teams away and defend correctly!!!

If you look at the form table we won 4 and lost 2 and are 4th in the form guide!!!

What do certain rovers fans want? do you want to be good performance and lost 4-3 or win 3 nil and play some good football but abit defensive?

You decide, I know which want I would want and it is to win 3 nil and play abit defensive!

Big Sam gets a lot of people moaning because he plays a bit defensive!!! But he always gets results against teams we should be beating!!!

Yes, yes, I've read your tripe for the last two years, and yes.

I'm slagging you off because the things you say regarding Allardyce are ridiculous and unreasonable. If you don't like his football so much why do you still turn up?

[ABBEY]
