[Archived] Capital One Cup - 1St Round - Shrewsbury (H)

[SamTheShrew]

Wow, that was bad. Has to be changes at half time. Brown, Evans off. Rhodes and koita on

[frosty]

Tonight was a chance for something different and unpredictable - Barrow, Koita etc.

As soon as the team news was released, this was always on the cards. Abysmal.

[SamTheShrew]

Shrewsbury playing settled side from weekend. We make 9 changes, which completely causes no leadership or direction. Ridiculous

[G Somerset Rover]

Please can we all stop being negative and start living in the land of pixies and rainbows?

[T J Hooker]

How @#/? do we have to become before it gets through to the owners that Bowyer is an awful manager and we will achieve nothing under him

[AdamRochina]

The @#/? Sullivan off barrow on , th invisible brown off koita on please

[SamTheShrew]

What does bowyer want the midfield to be? Why isn't he playing it and then sticking to it?

[SoldierMo]

Enough fans to boo off GB at half time?

[Tom]

Not good at all

Huge mistake from Nyambe but made up for it with our goal

2 subs needed at half time

Sta-bil-ity....don't you get it.....right good go in the second half, we look forward now to Saturday and our next match. Happy happy happy!!!!!!

We'll achieve nothing under Venkys.

[BlooBoy]

Crazy.

We re Blackburn rovers of the Championship not some top Premier League side with a second string to rival most with tough Premier League/Champions League games coming up in the following week..

We re playing Huddersfield for gods sake.

Come Saturday we ll have another eight/nine changes and still no nearer a starting eleven. Wasted chance to use the game in preperation for Saturday...

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Bowyers ability to organise a defence and the team shape is nothing short of a joke.

Not saying shape is great - but goals nothing to do with tactics just s@#$ play.

[Mike E]

Needs us to come out all guns blazing. Koita and Rhodes on for whoever ppl at the game see fit.

[roversoutsider]

And people thought this would be a cakewalk and wanted the likes of Tomlinson and Mahoney to start. :/

[SoldierMo]

Tomlinson would have done better than the useless williamson

[K-Hod]

I really have no faith in the man in the dugout to turn this around. He'll wait until 70 minutes for a sub as well, I can see it now....

[Blueandwhitemike]

Shambles, gotta blame the manager, nyambe out of his depth, Evans rubbish, brown absent, lenihan keeps getting beaten in the air but looks better on the ground, opposite of Duffy, nine changes means poor shape, no changes by the looks of it

[Waggy76]

Can we not sub Bowyer ?

[SoldierMo]

No subs GB can kiss my a55

You may not have faith in him turning it around, but you better have faith in us giving it a right good go, and doing ever so well.

[T J Hooker]

Not fair to keep blaming the players(even guff like Lowe) a team is only as good as its manager regardles of the players at his disposal.

[booth]

Not saying shape is great - but goals nothing to do with tactics just s@#$ play.

Only one fella picked them though DMTP.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Gazza says this is a 'difficult' game though...what are all of us complaining about?

Thats what happens when you play a centre-mid at CB. I remember reading Lenihan is a decent ball-playing CM but is now being played out of position coz we dont have backup in that position at all.
