It's ok, we're better with no Rhodes and a big man up front bringing everyone else into play.

Den and thenodrog said so. :unsure:

Only listened to Radio Lancs since HT Simon but it sounds like when they took Gestede off they may as well have left Rhodes twiddling his thumbs on the bench for all the difference he's made. I guess he must not have had the right service again eh? :rolleyes:

Must say I'm surprised Bowyer didn't leave Gestede on with Rhodes given that we were losing.

Maybe GB did not think of that tactic

I think we have suffered because of Bowyer's inexperience this week.

We got giddy with the cup replay, lost site of the priority of the League. Again we play the 2 rubbish defensive midfielders. We take Gestede off when we were chasing a goal.

The playoff teams push further ahead of us.

To be fair to him he tried to change it early with the subs today, which he hasn't really done before.

Incredible how much space the Forest strikers get between the Rovers lines. Hanley and Dann never step up until after they've received the ball. Likewise Williamson and Lowe do not fall back in time...

Lowe must be made to accept that sitting deep is his job and Williamson wants binning off. Slow of foot and slower of thought.

Who's being childish now?

I don't know, you?

As per your earlier logic it looks like we have concrete proof that we are in fact better with Gestede than Rhodes :P

Well, that should be the game the where we all realise that we wont be going up this time...

We just dont seem to have that extra 10% needed in my opinion...

Top ten finish I think but outside the top 6 for sure...

People been carried away .. There's no chance of promotion under the VENKYSCUM

STAND OFF, STAND OFF, STAND OFF!!!!!! When the Kean will we learn not to stand off, Reid basically had a free kick. Everybody liked to pat the lads on the back on Wednesday and I said I appreciate the effort from the lads but the defending was awful, everybody jumped up and down and said things like "only rovers fans could find fault after that game".

Well we defended to the same standard as Wednesday and we have conceded 4 goals in the Championship, the warning signs were there!!!

What the hell is wrong with henley nowadays

He's not really good enough from what I have seen recently. In truth I'm not all that impressed with Spurr either. I'd bring Kane back next week and hope the rest has done him good.

I guess Palace's interest will cool on Dann if he's facing a long lay off.

Forest are a good team, whilst we have at best a slightly above average squad and are awful away from home. The result is not a surprise, especially considering we had to play a game midweek against a team which had players worth more on their own than our entire club.

I'm afraid we just have to move on from this one and look to the next game. Not much point gnashing teeth over it. As somebody else said, we could be Bolton - or Wigan, who have lost 3-0 to Doncaster. We could also have Paul Ince in charge, another loss for Blackpool today against the mighty Barnsley. Birmingham lost 2-0 at home to Yeovil. Even Burnley only managed a 1-1 draw at home to Sheff Weds. Ipswich and Leeds also lost today, so not sure we've lost that much ground with this result.

Could have done without conceding 4, but then we have Eastwood in goal so arguably that's actually quite an achievement.

Not sure bowyer knows is best team , it is possible his hands are tied by owners..

Robbo being injured for this game was always going to be a problem....

Can't blame Eastwoord for any of the goals though. He did okay, apart from that he possibly should have saved both penalties :blink:

In all seriousness it seems a shocking move to bring Gestede off for Rhodes when chasing the game, I can only imagine Rhodes came on and was isolated he should have been brought on with Gestede there to help him

Another game we start in a defensive style and concede a lot yet when we attack we concede less

It seems the obvious is being missed for some bizarre reason
