[Archived] Nottingham Forest v Rovers 3/10/12

[BuckyRover]

Happy with point. Black has rightly identified that we are awful at the back and looks to be addressing it. When that is solid we can attack more freely. A point away is always good.

However I don't want Black as manager.

[Tom]

Players look frustrated at FT. Cant blame them, no attacking intent.

Don't forget that picture before you leave mate

Could the players not run or did the players have no skill to beat a man. Which was it ?

[Ossydave]

There is no magic wand to be waved I'm afraid.

The 2 games since Kean left have just emphasised the mess he made.

I would imagine building from the back is an approach a lot of potential new managers will do, hence a few more performances like tonight possibly.

Things will only get better......

[Ruaney]

Exactly ! this guy I dont want to see in a Rovers shirt again. Hes rubbish !

I wouldn't say he is rubbish, he has the potential to be very good! I just don't think he has had his best position identified yet.

Totally agree. Get the basics right first; Black is a proper football man unlike the over-promoted groundsman

[jim mk2]

Rare clean sheet. How many of those have we had over the past 2 years ?

[Jock]

I know, it's so annoying though! We should be going for it against teams like this, we have the quality to turn them over!

Also, why do I keep hearing the commentators on Radio lancs mention Roy Keane all the time with regards to the job? These rumours of the other Keane need to stop now.

Only have to add an E to all the banners if he gets the job. If he did get it i think i'll drop an E to cheer myself up and ive never taken drugs.

Nobody got forward enough to do anything, content to pass sideways and contain rather than press and ttack

[andymcg06]

Come on people we were playing Notts Forrest ! We should be getting 3 points against a team of that calibre regardless of us being at home or away !

[OJRovers]

Was it 3 at the back or 5?

I remember Kean trying to convince people that we only played 3 at the back against spurs away, when really we had 10 men behind the ball.

[A cup of beans]

Whats Rhodes done though

He didnt have a shot against Boro, Charlton, or tonight.

I blame the service though. We are a very poor side.

Hanging on for the whole 2nd half.

[neophox]

On a positive note we got a point and we're still up there with a new manager due....could had been worse. Only 3p to leading the league.

Another positive is that Black has only managed 2 points in 2 games so he'll be off soon I hope.

Now its time to move on and win on saturday at a full Ewood Park.

[Batman.]

Dream start to the season tbh. Kean gone despite (points wise) a good start, the assistant not performing well enough to get the job (whilst still getting a couple of bonus points), and we're in the play off places with surely only improvements to occur under the new manager.

Now just sit back and wait for promotion.

This league is a step up for the lad which we shouldnt forget too easily with the team totally unbalanced and lacking quality in certain areas.

[BRFCBOY]

Sounded awful on radio, no real width an Orr sounded like he had another bad game

[dr who true blue]

Black should be honest and come out and say i am not the man for the rovers managers job.

[bluebruce]

No we shouldn't.

[greggyk]

Good point, delighted to hear we were solid. That's how you rebuild a side.

[andymcg06]

4 shots on target in the last two games is simply not good enough and frankly if we continue to play in the same manner we will NOT be getting promoted this season !

[bob fleming]

Players look frustrated at FT. Cant blame them, no attacking intent.

Just back in, not from the game, and read the last three or four pages.

Have you actually been to the match?

[JAL]

Good point, delighted to hear we were solid. That's how you rebuild a side.

Come on greggyk Forest were rubbish and there for the taking.

[andymcg06]

No we shouldn't.

Really ? You don't believe we should be beating teams of Notts Forrest standard ?

[dr who true blue]

Glen Mullen on radio lancashire saying we should'nt rush on appointing a new manager fecking unbeliveable.

[JAL]

I wouldn't say he is rubbish, he has the potential to be very good! I just don't think he has had his best position identified yet.

When do we identify his best position, hes been here nearly two years and he wanted to go home in the summer dont you think its time to let him go.
