[Archived] Barnsley v Rovers Tuesday 28/01 19.45

[West Yorks Rover]

Derby came from 2-0 down to win 3-2

Looks like that was a proper HT team talk, from an experienced manager.

I think we need to send a shrink in to talk to the players - as much as constantly moaning about Bowyer. Yes boring Bowyer - a game in which we played 4-3-3 until Dunn went off - a game which we should have easily won if players took their chances. Even in a poor second half we created more clear cut chances than Barnsley - bottom line whatever the formation, tactics, where Cairney plays etc etc - we are creating enough chances to easily win these matches. Even against Derby - we should have won if Cairney had converted a relatively easy chance in the second half.

You can blame Bowyer all you want - but it is the players that keep missing all these chances.

We want Bowyer out, say we want Bowyer out!

Bowyer Out, Venkys Out!

It was the same at the weekend he made a sub and changed the formation and from then on they were on top and got the goal. Whilst Bowyer just stood there and did nothing to counter it.

the mentality comes from the manager

[West Yorks Rover]

How people can say stick with Dour Bowyer I don't know he is clearly holding the team back with a good manager we would be top six at least. But Bowyer seems to have settled for mid table mediocrity. And he's either stubborn or a complete idiot, as he makes the same tactical errors every game and yet he never changes his tactics.

He looks like a negative manager, he sounds like a negative manager and by golly ---------------------.

[T.J.Newton]

bit irrelevant I suppose, but I see judge and d.j. both scored tonight(I wouldn't be surprised to see dj end the season in double figures)

[Clitherover]

We want Bowyer out, say we want Bowyer out! 

Bowyer Out, Venkys Out!

I hope you are being sarcastic there.

[TurkishDelightFan]

Wont surprise me if Rhodes now leaves seens as we will miss out on promotion.

[T.J.Newton]

more awful referring from what I've read from the match commentators on twitter.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

So you disagree bowyers tactics has not cost us points? Or his selection for that matter??

I will disagree with you - players (and referees) are costing us matches - missing relatively easy chances - or making stupid defensive decisions. We had easily enough chances to beat Barnsley tonight - we didn't take them.

[Friarsnig]

The reason why we keep slipping up is because the players aren't quite good enough. If I was a @#/? I would say 'end of', and if I was a thick @#/? I would say 'end off'.

[TurkishDelightFan]

I hope you are being sarcastic there.

No I wasn't. Bowyer is an awful manager. He had the oppourtunity for us to get in the playoff places and he has wasted in with his negative tactics.

[garnersfags]

Blue n Whites, I think we all agree we are capable of improvement but many of us are saying that if the team/manager continue to appear to play more negatively when in front than when level, we are likely to Finish 12th rather than 6th/7th. It is comment on the recent run of games most fans think we should have won.

[Husky]

I can't even remember who takes our penalties it seems that long since we've had one. Howard Gayle perhaps???

[Amo]

Didn't realise it was being streamed - or are you at the match ? Without seeing the foul - a bit difficult to say whether a definite foul or some "clever" play by their forward.

There comes a point when you stop analyzing things game by game and look at the common denominator. Every team is going to make individual mistakes and have dodgy decisions against them. That's part and parcel of human fallibility, but we've dropped far too many points both home and away for this not to be a wider issue with the manager's team selection, tactics and preparation. Why are we constantly inviting teams back into the game? Why do we keep dropping off when we should be in the ascendancy? Bowyer's done a decent job of picking up the pieces and getting us within spitting distance of the playoffs. However, the shambles of the past should not provide Bowyer with blanket immunity from constructive criticism when fans believe the team is underachieving.

[DE.]

Not a great result for us but I think Leicester were the only team to win away tonight. It isn't easy against anyone in this division, especially away from home. It's also our second game in four days, after also playing Man City midweek last week.

We're getting too many draws at the moment, and that will likely cost us a playoff spot. But then I didn't expect us to reach the playoffs this season anyway.

S**t was that the last game of the season?

[Rover_Shaun]

Can we get Howard to do his 'gee up' to the players before games?

[thenodrog]

Sometimes I think it might be better if Jack Walker had been a rugby supporter. His wealth and generosity appears to have spoilt a full generation and left them strangers to reallity.

Pound to a piece of s**t Bowyer bleats about it again

Concentrate on the real problems Bowyer

[Bucksrover]

Can't face the post-match excuses - the penalty decision, the valuable point, barnsley fighting for their lives, no easy game in the championship.

Learn Bowyer, admit we sat back on another lead and let them equalise

[Jimmy612]

I don't know Mo, I wasn't there... I'm wondering what you have witnessed to call our manager a tw4t. A man that saved us from relegation last season - had to pay off Danny Murphy and Nuno Gomes amongst others, has had to deal with the worst dressing room BRFC has probably ever experienced in Best, Orr, Murphy etc, has had very very limited funds but has managed to bring in the likes of Cairney, Gestede, Marshall, Evans, Spurr (all decent signings), and has us currently 5 points of the play-offs (something I did not expect).

The abuse the man is receiving is quite frankly incredible. Yes, he's not perfect, yes he does make mistakes. But he's a man learning on the job. If it wasn't for financial obliviion just around the corner would everyone be so mortified by our current position? Because if that is the reason you are all being so menstrual about it you need to direct your anger (in equal portion) towards Pune, Brunei and wherever that fat slimy prick of an agent chooses to live.

I know. Lancashire United?!!! Would you believe it????

[AdamRochina]

pathetic game tonight, we dominate in chances created yes and more of the game BUT sitting back after only being one goal up is really wearing thin, bowyer needs to go @#/? your excuses of its better then the last 3 years, yeah that's great but its still shocking, we cannot beat teams like Barnsley? lost away to Donny thrash by brighton Birmingham and Ipswich .. get a grip we are a mediocre side that lets teams gain confidence as they play us we just sit there and say attack us we will try and defend it but fail

king lowe Williamson should be no wear near the starting eleven but the fact we have no one to @#/? come in for this is @#/? us over
