[Archived] Fulham On Saturday 27Th August

[LewisF]

2-1

Samuelsen and Byrne. Cairney for them. Or maybe just 0-5. Who knows

[bluefred]

Bore draw me thinks

Bore draw me thinks

Not a chance with our defence pal.

2-5 Foolham

[had.e.nuff]

Given up predicting line-ups and scores.

Things that I won't be surprised to find out at 4.55pm tomorrow:

We concede within 20 minutes

A player reacts badly to being subbed

Lowe starts at right back

Steele flaps at at least one of the goals and several crosses

Central midfield is overrun

Cairney has game of his life

Marshall gets on the Fulham coach after the game to go and sign with them (after turning down a 25% pay rise here)

Graham looks fat and uninterested

And I avoid all things football for the rest of the weekend.

Still, there's always the White Lightening cup to look forward to, or whatever it's called nowadays (seriously is everything up for sponsorship these days?)

I hate football.

I know I'll be glued to this forum no matter how much I pretend to myself I won't.

Thanks Venkys, you've ruined the beautiful game for me.

you forgot we start with one up front until we go a goal down

2-0 to Fulham Cairney and Tunnicliffe.

Sat out in the garden, shirt off and lay on the deckchair.🌞

Nice brew and travel brochure to hand 😊

Heaven !!

Edit - my bad!

#rovers team: Steele, Lowe, Hoban, Greer, Williams, Conway, Guthrie, Akpan, Marshall, Graham, Gallagher.

#rovers subs: Raya, Feeney, Stokes, Byrne, Stokes, Samuelsen, Lenihan, Wharton.

Wharton benched too. The Coyle tombola strikes again.

[Madon]

Conway on the bench. What the actual @#/? Coyle?

He is playing?? Wharton on bench though. He earned the right to play today.

Don't know how I missed that ha.

[Tom]

Intersting line up we actually have options to change it from the bench as well

[West Yorks Rover]

A defence that has never played together before today, what could possibly go wrong ?

Better hope the 2 new boys are better than Lowe.

I must get on with researching who is playing for us today

[Mike Graham]

Is it on the telly?

[broadsword]

Is it on the telly?

On national geographic, just after the programs about tornados, earthquakes and famines

[Iceman]

Is it on the telly?

Comedy Central

I would have played Wharton at RB, because i just can't anymore with Lowe

[AllRoverAsia]

Is it on the telly?

It's on an 'Adult Only' Channel as it will contain distressing scenes

[Mike Graham]

BBC Radio Lancs just talking pre-match about Rovers and a lot of sympathy and understanding for those fans refusing to come and spend their money at Ewood.

They also listed all the recent years transfer activity: £30M in v £1M out !!!

They were saying Rovers are in free fall.

[philipl]

Who is Hoban?

Why no Stokes or Wharton?

Why nothing resembling a midfield?

They were saying something similar on 606, aknowledged the lack of board and people multitasking, basically pointed the finger at Venkys, fan unrest and lack of investment, also pointed out stripping the squad and replacing it with young loans.

Word is getting out.

!!

Bet neighbours don't think so 😢

[DanielMB]

Putting 2 new defenders signed yesterday in the starting 11. Have they even trained with the team? This could backfire. Hope for the best!

5Live reporter at the game, just called it " something akin to a fire sale "

That's the idea- for it to backfire...

Shows that Coyle has no responsibility for setting the team up.

Which is what it is I suppose.
