If this is true,it's very bad. Exactly what I said when he told me. He's no reason to make it up. He's a liverpool fan, a genuine lad, & we were just talking football in general. I mentioned the form of AA which was when he told me. I was stunned but it sounds like it's something which has changed recently. Maybe the thinking was to avoid any contact sessions. Either way, it looks like it was bad planning! Quote

Ya,you need to be careful with the weights. Easy enough yank something. Hopefully he starts today anyway 1 Quote
Bigdoggsteel Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Wow, big chance for Buckley and Samuel Great to see AA start Get the job done now lads Quote

roversfan99 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Hope its a narrow 442 with Samuel and Armstrong together. Would have personally gone for Brereton over Samuel but suppose the latter would have felt hard done by, and Buckley is still lightweight and would have gone Chapman there. Need to win today. Quote
OldEwoodBlue Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Is this acceptance the season is over ? Quote
roversfan99 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Bit strange to see Carter on the bench and Mulgrew playing with the kids. 1 Quote
windymiller7 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Phew! AA fit enough to play. Come on lads. 3pts by any way or means! Quote
Exiled in Toronto Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 I think he’s dropped Bennett just so he can bring him on as first sub no matter who comes off... 0-2 - DomSam and Johnson Quote
LDRover Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Not sure on Buckley. Looks to have talent and plays with his head up and on the half turn - which is good but physically he's miles away. 1 Quote
G Somerset Rover Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 2 year deal incoming for Big Dom. 3 Quote

Backroom Tom Posted February 15, 2020 Backroom Posted February 15, 2020 Hopefully a bit of a coming of age for Buckley today, he’s looked good in some games and like a lost child in others. Was hoping to see Brereton start but Samuel earned a crack. We should have enough to beat them but may be a tight one 2-1 Rovers Quote
Mr. E Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 I kind of like this starting line up, I can see some pace in there. But we might still need Graham to come on later on to win it. Quote

I doubt it's 4-4-2. Chapman is lightweight too and has done little to nothing to warrant a starting place. Particularly if the stories about him refusing to play for the under 23s. Mowbray doesn't start Buckley, gets stick for not giving youth a chance,particularly one of the brightest prospects. Mowbray starts Buckley, also bad. Quote

Husky Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I hear its a pretty full ground (less than the cost of a pint to get in, who'd have thought it). Wot no Mulgrew? Getting his wages off the books could negate the need for the Ewood Waggot tax. Nice to see Buckley and Samuel starting, as though we are 'only six points off the play-offs (yawns) our season is as good as done. We're mid-table and should be giving 'fringe' players game time. I think we might get away with a draw. I'll say 2-2. Edited February 15, 2020 by Husky Quote

Most people on this board seem to agree he isn't ready for regular first team football with us largely due to physical shortcomings. Maybe elsewhere, other forums etc, they want to see him knocked off the ball every week. 2 Quote
