Barnsley v Rovers

[barry_]

Another masterful first half performance from the Rovers. 

(have we had a shot yet??) 

[Fraserkirky]

Rothwell starting to make things happen

[Tugay-is-God]

Their keeper's called Walton as well?

Shouldn't have taken 24 mins to hear that.

4 points of play off places and you are sick and tired of it, would hate to know your thoughts if we were doing badly. 

Going nowhere in what sense?- what context, we are likely to end up with more points than last year and in a better league position? 

I am not sure there is really ever a circumstance where I would ever want my team to get hammered. 

exactly, 4 points of the playoffs and he sends that team out when we need to win.

Its like he gets a larger bonus for staying in the championship than getting promoted to the premiership

[Tom]

We haven’t earned a drinks break!

[Cherry Blue]

Drinks - getting better but we need to hold ball up front and bring others into game

We play dire football under Mowbray with no clear plan.

I don't enjoy it - I can't imagine many who would. We're back to the Bowyer days of buying players because they're available, without a clear plan of where they're going to play. The difference being Bowyer had an eye for a player. 

[GHR]

I'm sure we've done Bennett throw in to Mulgrew, pass back to Walton, launch it and lose it about ten times so far.

Starting to get into this mind, decent couple of chances for Armstrong.

 

[Tugay-is-God]

Ooof, that's better. 

Lovely ball by Holtby.

Honestly. No.

Football is more than life and death, fuck that nonsense

I’d have sincere doubts about Lenihan as a person if he’d miss the birth of his child to be down the road in Barnsley, yes some people can’t get to births but I’d like to think any dad would be there if they could 

That’s why Shankly and Clough are legends of the game.

Think Tony's pension plan will be coming along very nicely!

I think our squad, in the main, is an unbalanced shambles and we are further way from the 'promised land' than Jeremy Corbyn is from No 10.

We need a hungry and innovative coaching team.

Think old man Warnock has had more impact at Middlesbrough in 3 days than Mowbray has had all season at Rovers!

IMO, we are treading water at very, very best. 

[chaddyrovers]

3 good chances/shots for us now.

How much did you put on us this time ?

Aye, and they managed in what era?

To make it a little more contemporary, can you imagine Alex Ferguson allowing players time off for a baby?

Well yeah, because he did. 

[Tom]

Really poor from Rothwell there, then breaks to Samuel and he fluffs it as well 

[Sparks Rover]

Getting back into it now.....COME ON YOU BLUES!

[Exiled_Rover]

Samuel's contract is up, right? He's awful. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Promising move, ball gets to Bennett and everything breaks down.

 Couple of better balls from Holtby.

Samuel's terrible.

[Tugay-is-God]

Samuel almost right on time there...

We're looking better at the minute. 

[G Somerset Rover]

That finish from Samuel summed him up. Makes Jason Roberts look like Romario in front of goal.

Last 15 minutes much better and creating chances

I certain couldn't imagine Sir Alex's most successful captain Roy Keane missing a important game for such a reason.

Ha! He should have read Samuel’s shit shot?

Amazing how people see such different things. Rothwell had no chance getting to that.

Meanwhile, yet another time wasting drinks break.

Stuck £25 on Barnsley at about 2/1 after the Wigan shambles. 

[bluebruce]

Holtby playing well. Just crossed my mind, will our Walton even prove to be the best goalkeeper on the pitch whose name is Walton today?
