[Archived] Boxing Day, Rovers v Weds, 26th December 2013

Maybe the manager wasn't overly impressed with the showboating

We're creating chances. According to the BBC, we've had 8 shots 3 of which were on target. So the offense is doing everything except put the ball into the net.

If we end on a draw, we're 10th and one win away from a potential play-off position.

So I, for one, can understand Bowyer's reasoning.

We are playing 3rd bottom at home on the back of successive victories, in what universe should GB be playing for a draw? That is the gutless, wishy washy option. Teams like Sheff Weds should be sh1tting themselves at Ewood.

Aye this is the man who described Williamson as being a creative passer of the ball?

He doesn't trust him and thinks he's more likely to cost us a goal than score one.

Why bother with him on the bench if your not going to use him.

Bring on DJ then we need a goal

FFS Lowe

Did he put it over from 1 yard out?

FFS out of context posts which tell nothing to those of us not at the game.

Bit of pressure now, king had chance.....poor

[Steve Moss]

I didn't say play for a draw. From Bowyer's perspective, offensively we're creating chances and its only a matter of time. However, preventing Sheffield from sneaking a goal in also a priority. So an added defensive mid-fielder (who has already had one shot at goal) is just an insurance policy.

I think Bowyer's reasoning is methodical and sound. So I'm not bent out of shape about it.

BE shouting for Rochina

[Stuart]

Six defenders no midfield

Why don't they go to the ballet instead ?

What do you want, commentary?

Open net.

I might be being slightly harsh but he's not going to get the benefit of the doubt from me.

[Tom]

If we don't win it late on then GB has made it easy to criticise him going off the change he made

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Cairney for Rochina

[Majiball]

Cairney for Rochina

Come RR prove him wrong and get that winning goal.

The crowd chant and on he comes, not good.

[Bundesburn]

Cairney for Rochina

Not to be overtly critical, but it seems too little, too late and - almost worst of all - crowd-influenced.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

18,500 on

[OJRovers]

All bets are off for DJ

[Amo]

Ten minutes for Rochina to change the game. Should've been on twenty minutes ago, at least.

[SoldierMo]

Should have started bad tactics and subs today by GB

[Stuart]

Very negative today Gaz.

[Amo]

Very negative today Gaz.

I don't think playing a 4-4-2 is negative.

Williamson for Gestede is another story.

[G Somerset Rover]

Rochina should have started for Gestede. GB either doesn't fancy him or we rarely play him due to contractual reasons IMO.

[yoda]

Why don't they go to the ballet instead ?

because you would ask why they are not at the game

Does Rhodes not want to score just yet

[West Yorks Rover]

Should have started bad tactics and subs today by GB

Does seem to be very negative at home, his use of subs does need to be questioned yet again.

[Amo]

Rochina should have started for Gestede. GB either doesn't fancy him or we rarely play him due to contractual reasons IMO.

Or he's off in January as a makeweight for Cairney?
