[Archived] Newcastle / March On Ewood

[Dunnfc]

With a Liverpool fan... thinks it's the worst game he's seen this season. Asks why we want to play for a point at home?

Asking who this collection of rabble is as he only recognises Mulgrew and Graham

[DE.]

Nice to see the Ewood faithful picking up where our away fans left off by the way.

Well, if polite applause and yelling "AWAY" repeatedly counts.

[roverandout]

More than that, he's given the ball away, been turned inside out nearly cost rovers two goals

[Blue blood]

Our biggest problem is when we do break up the attack we give it straight back to them to have another go. I'm not after barca type football but our retention has to be better.

Mind you our midfield is so poor it's untrue.

[Dunnfc]

Now you'd stick Bennett on for Conway as a like for like but no it's Gallagher

Wtf has Bennett done?

Have heard he doesn't eat doughnuts. Black mark against his name instantly.

[G Somerset Rover]

Another injury. I'll give Coyle this much - he's good at ensuring players drop like flies.

On a side note, has there ever been a worse central midfield pairing in the football league than Lowe and Akpan?

[West Yorks Rover]

Conway off injured, Gallagher on.

[JBiz]

Hes been no worse than anyone else, seen more of the ball, watch the game not the man.

Spot on. How is it possible to criticise Lowe; when Emnes and Feeney are walking about, Conway looks like a Christmas pud, Akpan is making the impact of a light breeze and our defence can't press bar our own box?

Woeful. Makes me hate football this unorganised crap, and listening to fans singling out one of the only one putting the necessary effort in, makes it worse!

[Blue blood]

Steele kept us in it. Don't rate him but had an excellent game so far

[G Somerset Rover]

How on earth is this 0-0? If they get one they'll get a hatful.

4 points from safety as it stands with teams just above Burton pulling away.

[DE.]

Well, that was @#/? dreadful. If the second half goes the same way, will that be the first time we've had no shots on goal in a game since Spurs?

[mustard]

Conway goes off in the 42nd for yet ANOTHER injury, and rather unsurprisingly, another muscle injury.

What the fudge does Coyle have them doing in training and during warm ups?! Christ, the conditioning of the team is awful but it seems to be common feature of Coyle sides.

[ABBEY]

decided to watch on sky stream....what an embarassment. Only Lowe n steele earned a mention.No venky out chants ,looks like a very settled happy clapping crowd.

Wife going mad at me cos every time chimphead comes on i rant and swear at the big eared dingle turd.

[Dunnfc]

Lowe almost cost two goals through misplaced basic passes! Bar that tackle he's done sweet FA and looks a lost boy chasing shadows.

Feeney did well for a moment but he just stands there waiting for the ball he doesn't do anything of it and looks a liability.

Emnes looks like he's running in treacle but given it's him and Graham all by themselves with no back up is unsurprising he looks poor.

Nyambe second touch is a hoof, used his pace well to cover up his and Greers mistakes.

Williams and Steele the only ones with credit in that first half

[RTM08]

Don't really comment much on here, or watch Rovers too much anymore, but I just had to say that I have never seen a team so slow and unresponsive to everything going on around them. It's like they're running through treacle every time.

Zero shots, zero chances, and no chance of the moron in charge of changing things. Without a doubt we're playing league 1 football next year on this evidence.

[Gav]

Steele kept us in it. Don't rate him but had an excellent game so far

Superb save low down from Gayle.

[Waggy76]

Unbelievable stats !

[perthblue02]

Got a bit of a 3rd round FA cup game vibe to it, plucky non league side playing for a draw and a chance of a big replay pay day

[Dunnfc]

No attempts on goal and for the third game going 27 percent possession.

Can someone or Coyle clarify his attacking football comments as we are serving up worse stuff than skint burton and a dodgy Rotherham

[tomphil]

I notice Conway blowing hard after 10 mins and the defense although committed is so lead footed. This team is so unfit in all areas it's ridiculous. It shows against every team not just good ones and although we are getting amongst them we'll run out of steam in this again you can see it coming.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We're offering nothing and getting battered but the score is better than I thought it would be at half time!!

[Commondore]

I don't get the hysteria, isn't this how a game between two unevenly matched teams usually looks?

Graham is too slow for a counter attacking game, and while Steele has been great on the line it's only a matter of time until he drops a cross or is too slow to get down to his post.

Thats in 5 days time

If they're two or three leagues apart, yes.
