[Archived] Wolves vs Rovers

[martmitch]

kind of highlights the state our squad is in, 2 subs and any chance we had of winning the match was gone, will take a point after watching that domination by wolves second half

[Clitherover]

Don't think it was a dreadful performance at all given the circumstances. Wolves are a capable side....they just had a bad manager. Good point

I don't think so either, ok we we're woeful in the second half but I thought we were the better team most of the first half and a point away from home isn't bad at all.

Pedersen was shocking as per usual, the sooner he goes the better, the man's a liability.

[TBTF]

Someone should shout that we had nuno gomes on the bench tonight. If the argument is he isnt fit then..........WHY IS HE ON THE BENCH IN THE FIRST PLACE

but not much sign of Shebby's other Portugese imports! If Morris gets on before Rosado i think he might as well go back to be a waiter in the Algarve

[wazzarover]

So negative on here tonight? Decent away point from a scrappy game which we would have almost certainly lost under Berg and a very winnable home game next week for Appleton's first game.

[des]

for me a good away point. first half play the ball on the floor and did ok. second half too many long high balls and we did not keep the ball well enough.

murphy is ok when he has the ball, but his legs have gone abd caanot defend. peds same thing his legs have gone. midfield needs some work on it. still a point away from home is ok

[princes town]

Thank you Gary And Terry 3 wins and a draw mean that we at least have a decent chance of a play off place. I think the biggest issue that needs to be resolved is the fitness of the team we look knackered in the last 15 mins of games

Fair comment. I agree Rochina and Vukcevic were the class acts. Lowe and Murphy didn't work and Gamst sadly looks on the downgrade. really disappointed with the performance but credit for Bowyer for digging out the points.

[Stuart]

The substitutions cost us in the end. Rochina and Vukcevic were the only players who could keep hold of the ball and their good technique meant that players backed off them giving them more time to pick a pass. The guys who came on couldn't do this, were closed down and we lost the ball. We were also playing with ten men from the start as CKR was a total passenger and should have been subbed.

Thanks for steadying the ship Mr Bowyer. I fully anticipate the a return to the equivalent of the Costa Concordia in the coming weeks.

You were right with your first point.

Pointing out CKR as a passenger but not saying the same about Rhodes?

We lost 2 points tonight - which admittedly we didn't deserve - because we bottled it when it came to making tactical substitutions. Eliminated our outlet and attacking threat, and invited pressure resulting in their goal.

To be fair, his record over the 4 games would still have been enough to give him a longer stint, certainly in my eyes, but maybe he took his eye off the ball.

[SouthAussieRover]

Bloody awful performance by Rovers.

Not one shot on goal, not one decent attack, not one sustained spell of pressure.

There was only one team tonight trying to impress a new manager and it wasn't us. Wolves can count themselves unlucky.

Kean had the best game for us but will have to get rid of that facial hair if he wants to be taken seriously.

Murphy was dire and Rhodes needn't have been on the pitch.

All in all, two mid-table teams and that's where they'll stay based on that evidence.

Welcome back.

Did you eventually find where Henley was?

[danger19_80]

I noticed that too. You would expect him to pretend to be a bit pleased about the new manager coming in but his lack of enthusiasm couldn't have been more evident.

Not sure that's anti-Appleton necessarily more just frustration at yet another change in management. If MA impresses they'll soon get on board.

[Barrymaffia]

Thought Bowyer lost the game for us tonight.

Didn't get the team motivated and then made two terrible subsitutions.

Why can't they see what we can see?

It was a good job Wolves didn't start with the team they finished with

[jim mk2]

Forgot to add that Rochina did his usual disappearing act in the second half. - little wonder he was taken off.

Bowyer has done well but he didn't have the team motivated tonight. We were never at the races.

[Stuart]

Fair play to Saunders when asked about the penalty. Blamed his winger for making the foul.

Then admitted he was gutted to leave behind people at Doncaster.

What a class act.

[Oklahoma]

the midfield is too poor to rely on them.

They can't defend ot attack

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Didn't get the Morris sub at all. Thought Vukcevic and Rochina were comfortably our best players until half time. They were at least causing Wolves problems and they are the type of players that very few Championship sides have.

Overall, can't complain given the performance. Wolves looked no better but we barely looked threatening in the second half. Rhodes had very little to play with up front so I dont think its really fair to single him out. Lowe didn't cut it and Gamst was off the pace.

Thought Murphy, Kane and Kean did well.

We have at least 11 footballers who are good enough to get promotion from this division. Its just making sure that they are all out there at the same time thats the problem.

When is Leon Best fit??

[princes town]

Not sure that's anti-Appleton necessarily more just frustration at yet another change in management. If MA impresses they'll soon get on board.

That's how i saw it. i think we all said the same thing when it was announced.

[The Rover of Finland]

We really need a better cm than Lowe or Etuhu is. Lowe just can´t the ball even a bit. It´s 4 home games now if the cup match is not counted. Here is your chance Appleton.

[Cocker]

but not much sign of Shebby's other Portugese imports! If Morris gets on before Rosado i think he might as well go back to be a waiter in the Algarve

There is a MASSIVE difference between Shebbys kids and what nuno gomes can do. Just amazing he cant get a game

[DE.]

Lol, Bowyer...

"Grant Hanley was fantastic.

Jason Lowe and Josh Morris .... were on the pitch."

Good point andf a job well done by Bowyer> Scrappy game but some effort and passion on show.

[Rover_Shaun]

Enough evidence that a new manager is required.

We need far more than just a manager. Seeing as we've buggered that one up we need to now concentrate of wholesale squad changes in 2013

[princes town]

We really need a better cm than Lowe or Etuhu is. Lowe just can´t the ball even a bit. It´s 4 home games now if the cup match is not counted. Here is your chance Appleton.

Yep, you can say that again.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Fair play to Saunders when asked about the penalty. Blamed his winger for making the foul.

Then admitted he was gutted to leave behind people at Doncaster.

What a class act.

He's a class act in that respect. I met him a while ago and was majorly impressed by his attitude. Wether he's got the tactical wherewithal I can't comment but as a man I took to him right away, he's not full of his own @#/?.

[danger19_80]

Jason Lowe gets stick on here, sometimes perhaps unfairly, but he really was utterly appalling. Baring his fitness he was literally a 5-asider tonight. Bring back Etuhu, all is forgiven!

[The Rover of Finland]

Somen Tchoiy (sp) from WBA ?

What about?
