Reading v Rovers

[tomphil]

We have to be wary of Readings continental football tonight apparently, is this the stuff that's served them so well so far this season then or are they saving it just for tonight ???

COYB !

[Sparks Rover]

Tony will sort that continental carry on out....

For some reason Chrome on my mobile will no longer open any LT links. Started a couple of weeks ago, all other sites I visit are ok.

There is an upside to this

Tony’s Tombola has struck as I predicted. Can’t see anything other than a defeat with that line up. Jesus Christ it’s fucking awful. Brereton and Conway on the wings?!

Id love to be wrong but thats a shite, negative line up. 3 defensive midfielders, Conway, Brereton and our best 2 players dropped. Rubbish.

That looks weak tbf. How the hell is Conway worth a start over Rothwell?

[SBlue]

4-3-3 with a strong bench, let’s see how it works out.

 

Brereton will score.

[G Somerset Rover]

Love how the King and Benno keep their spots though.

[Tom Stinny]

3-1 win. Brereton double. He's going to light the game up. Armstrong with the other. Bennet own goal.

[Tom]

If we insist on dropping our two best attacking players I wish we would play Rothwell ahead of bloody Conway 

I know defensive discipline yada yada yada but I think it’s a myth that Conway actually possesses that he’s just that slow he’s often still In our half.

Failing that play Nyambe right back and Bennett further forward and clearly the left back spot is just going to be hot potatoed now. 

Also I think for all concerned Nuttall timed his goals at a bad time, now back out of the squad without the chance of a loan and no backup coming in.

Armstrong should cause them problems though and Ben needs to take his chance, hope we get that goal tonight!

Still fancy us to win 

3-1 Arma, Big Ben and Dack with the goals

Honestly what on earth is Tony thinking?

[Gogger]

Wouldnt guess that one.. underwhelming lineup

[Ewood Ace]

Constant tinkering between Williams and Bell at Left Back, yet Bennett (who everyone can see isn't a right back) keeps getting picked ahead of one of our brightest young prospects in Nyambe and seriously Conway over Rothwell, a disgraceful decision. Mowbray talks about building for the future but the likes of Nyambe and Rothwell are the future whereas the likes of Conway and Bennett are past their best.

Puzzled at that one.

TM "Let's go chasing wins if we can."

Conway, Smallwood, Brereton, Bennett, Travis, Bell and Evans.... Chasing wins???? Tony, you're losing the plot mate.

I'd get it if it was youth players getting game time (Brereton too). But why give appearances to the likes of Smallwood and Conway who should be at new clubs come August if we have any ambition.

Finally beginning to feel it's time for a new manager. No ambition, no logic. See an 18th place finish if this is what we can expect week in week out now.

Even a win tonight won't change my opinion now. He messes around with the formation and "tactics" too much and is too loyal to average L1 players.

Wasted with this manager now. Seriously considering not bothering with the ? tonight... and I've missed 3 games all season.

0 4 to the ROVERS

As critical as I've been of Brereton so far, I just have that feeling for tonight. 

9/1 first goal. Either 25 yard screamer or in off his arse.

A lot rests with Travis to get us up the pitch with that line-up.

If we are level with 20 minutes left, that is some cavalry we have on the bench.

Yep I fancy him to bag tonight as well

We usually do ok when we have these head scratching type of line ups

Apt username.

I note your other points but perhaps wait and see what happens in the match?

Dont usually see calls for the managers’ head before kick off.

[Tom Stinny]

Keep calm everyone. Thunderbolt football incoming from tinkermam Tony. 

[Fraserkirky]

Someone have a go at the formation please!

[Lihamylly]

Careful approach from Tony, hopefully not too careful.

Nevertheless, with the given lineup I truly hope Ben could bag one tonight to get the giant ape from his back. It could be just the thing we need at the moment and bring gains for the club for weeks to come, even for the rest of the season.

COYB!!!

I think he will play:-

Travis and Conway wide.

Brereton in Dacks role. 

Armstrong through the middle.

 

Personally I'd keep Armstrong wide, put Brereton up top with Travis in Dack's role.
