[Archived] Wimbledon

[Tom]

It's a results game and that is an abysmal result we've lost as many at home as we should have been looking at all season 

[Tormund]

Terrible result.

Can't be losing games like this.

[G Somerset Rover]

Referee aside, awful performance and even worse result against a terrible Wimbledon side who will be in and around the lower end of the league come season end. Their away record is beyond abysmal too. Too negative from TM for me for a home match. He has too much form with this. Very disappointed. 

[Husky]

I must have been Krazy to watch that. Chapman and Rays good...everyone else crap.

[Stuart]

Well that was appalling.

A terrible Rovers side playing against 12.

[davulsukur]

Ful time.

Hang your heads in shame, that's the players and management. An embarrassing result.

We aren't winning the league and it's only September.

 

[davefarnworth]

Sack the Board (oh we don't have one). Seriously those Indies need to go. A good manager would help. What a let down the last few years. Saw AfCW draw at Bedford AC ten years ago. We have fallen and I watched them in the Third when we had a proper club

It's a money game too.

Danny Graham earning more a week than the whole of the Wimbledon team. Its embarrassing.

The equivalent difference in resource is Man City vs Watford. City just hammered them 6-0.

Far too many having an easy time of it at Rovers making a fortune from failure, crucially not being held accountable.

 

 

[Tom]

Referee was abysmal but their keeper had to make 2 saves that I recall 

Time for serious thought about how we get out of this league, fear Mowbray may not be the man 

[DE.]

Disastrous result that suggests we still have the same weak mentality that ended up getting us relegated from the Championship. We just don't have it in us to come back into games once we concede. Southend, conceded first, lost. Doncaster, conceded first, lost. Wimbledon, conceded first, lost.

No chance of us going up at present. Absolutely none. For all the crowing about four wins on the spin we're already 10 points behind first place. 10 points. Pathetic. With our transfer and wage bill it's frankly embarrassing. The players and manager need a kick up the arse, but there's nobody around to do it.

We look devoid of ideas whenever we go behind in a match.Terrible day at the office today.Antonnson is not good enough to be starting imo, it wasn't his fault we lost today but looks to be a poor player even at this level.Graham is a much better player or even Dack playing just behind.Big week for Mowbray we can't afford to be beaten next weekend are Shrewsbury if we are looking to win the division 

[Give 'Em the Axe]

Total buzziller. Simply not clever, cunning, or creative enough to beat a limited, albeit hardworking team. One would be forgiven for thinking we'd turned a corner after recent results, but evidently not.

The reaction to going one down was appalling. 15th minute or so? Lots of time left for a team with their heads and nuts screwed on tight.

Two decent efforts all game long? A paucity of good deliveries in the final third? Shameful stuff.

[GreenRover]

Big blow today. Should be three points. Means all the hard work on beating Scunthorpe was for nothing. Just felt like it was not goin to be our day. Sounded like the ref was bad. It seems we are a bad team for getting complacent and can't chase a game. Very hard to remember the last time we turned goin down 1-0 into a win. You just feel they can't do it. Very disappointing but look massive game next weekend. 

[donnermeat]

Desperately poor, many teams will come to Ewood and set up like Wimbledon did and it's very worrying that Mowbray has no answer to it.

Our full backs really limit us with their lack of desire/ability going forward. Promotion teams have at least one full back that bombs on to either overlap or get crosses in, ours do neither. Williams perhaps from time to time but it seems pretty clear that isn't his proper position, he's like a fish out of water in the final third. Caddis isn't good enough.

Chapman has to start, regardless of his age, experience or the fact he's a loanee. If he's the best option, then play him.

 

[frosty]

Dreadful. 3 games lost out of 7, 2 lost out of 3 at home. Can't go on like that.

Barely created anything and, while people might say Wimbledon came and put everybody behind the ball, they had just as many chances as us, if not more. 

Time to start picking Chapman from the start, not everything he does comes off but he's much more of a threat than Conway and Bennett.

[Tom]

Caddis is very poor.

Antonsson needs to be out of the team and his strike partner was poor today.

Graham and Dack with Chapman and Bennet out wide with Smallwood and Whittingham in the middle I would be tempted to try next.

[bluefred]

Com-on now mowberry no more mr nice guy ,

this lot need a rocket up there ar88e8 .

[matt83]

For me it's purely about away games bringing decent numbers and atmosphere but unless we keep things ticking over at home it may become irrelevant. Losing 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4 inc cup is pretty poor. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

My God that was rank awful...zero skill or craft.Did our players just think they had to turn up?.Everything our team did today looked so laboured.

Maybe we have all been guilty of getting carried away of late,came off Ewood feeling 20 years older.

 

 

[LDRover]

Rev will be adding his thoughts soon...

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Mowbray poor subs and set up today.

[Cherry Blue]

After 5 wins I thought things were changing for the better. First half was what we got use to with Wimbledon wanting the ball more and with the lack of motivation from TM a defeat was always on the cards. We would never have scored if the game went on until midnight.

Shocking game plan. Ive had doubts about TM since his appointment but now Ive seen enough. With only 3 attempts on target not one player stood out and there was no evidence of changing the play even after using subs, Ward and Caddis are liabilities but the end story for me is a game of bad management. The ref, or the guy with the whistle, had a shocker.

[Tormund]

Very tough game next week too. We could be well behind already this time next week.

[davefarnworth]

Mowbray is poor. Track record says that. High paid simpleton herds will follow a sheepdog. Get rid. Oh dear. We have that at the top. V's out
