[Archived] Rovers v Burnley

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Lets just hope that Burnley don't gobfor it second half because it could get messy.  We should at least go 2 up top.  

Manager's must be thick.  If a fan can tell that a player cannot play the lone role, why can a 'professional' not?

[lraC]

Not good and very painful to watch. This is why I have and always will maintain, that we need to somehow cleanse the club and get rid of the chicken chokers.

Defensively, we are shambolic - Williams and  Caddis so poor. 

Said it the other week, but Caddis and Williams wouldn't look out of place in a pub side.

Oh God yeah...can't believe no-one else thought of that. We should do that this weekend then.

They got knocked out of the two cups last season by Accy Stanley and then Conference side Lincoln.

I'm not there but are we even doing the basics and trying to make it difficult for them? Doesn't sound like it.

No. A lot of running around in first 20 mins with no impact. Reminded me of a friendly, and Burnley havent been great either. A professional performance but not great.

They'd be on the bench behind 2 heads and Fat lad in my pub team.

2 0 . That was embarrassing.

Don't think it was quite that bad. For 25 mins we were pretty good I thought despite a lack of end product.

Once they scored though aided by yet more atrocious defending from Williams we went to pieces and only 2 superb saves from Raya kept the scoreline semi respectable.

Really poor and unprofessional conceding the second right on half time which has effectively killed the tie off.

[Stuart]

So entirely predictable. Everything is exactly as it should be...

Good news is definite 3 points at the weekend as Tony has rested his star players.

He better. That is the least he can do.

[den]

Trying to think if I've ever seen a worse rovers defence than this one - and I include midfielders.

Our attacking hasn't been too hot as well. Did we really have two shots off target?

Um, yeah. I almost forgot it's not an attack v defence training game.

Even our free kick just before half-time was poor. He tried to put it in the corner where the keeper was already stood, so even if it was on target it would have been saved. But then again, we don't have a right footer that can even try and curl it over the wall - I mean they only get all week to practice and all.

Poor effort all round. You can clearly see the 2 division difference, though Wood seems to have found his level.

I meant the second goal Rev.  As Hansen would say "terrible defending"

[G Somerset Rover]

2 subs on but a striker not one of them. Right on, Tony.

[islander200]

Elliott Ward can't defend absolutely woeful.We need a new centre half big time.

What's Mowbray thinking,he watches Antonsson every day in training,he can't play up too on his own too lightweight.And even after watching the first half he doesn't bring Samuel or Graham on

[trueblue]

I'd forgotten just how claret coloured Radio Lancashire was!!!

Desperate boots up field on 49 mins, looking like we are holding on for a 2-0

[Blow-in]

Nasty challenge and then fakes injury trying to mitigate the punishment. What a classy team.

If he was throttling Balaji I'd set up a gofundme campaign for the fella.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Mowbray miles off tonight.  Poor subs.  2 0 best we can hope for. Sad times.

Indeed.

He's attacking the wrong players!
