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

we used to call roberts jigsaw,cos he wen`t to pieces in the box

[CD_93]

To be fair to Samuel I think he was torn between the shot and the cross. Got in to the right position. Need to commit either way, though.

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

Looks good for us now !

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

He’s back to his true self, I.E not good enough.

A real poor do if we give him another deal.

[TurkishDelightFan]

Kuqi or Roberts, who was worse? ?

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.

I was referring to the move a minute earlier when we broke well and then Rothwell passed it 5 yards to their man on the edge of the box then a bit later it came to Samuel who ran into their man 

Rothwell did well the move after with the ball out wide

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. 

Yeah, I’m guessing Ferguson could afford to accommodate such losses.

Much better times now though, where Shankly and Clough are seen as idiots.

Maybe their statues need pulling down.

Kuqi. Both would be a revelation in this side though.

kuqi would end up  midfield in tony`s side

[BlackburnEnd75]

Hope that's not bad on rothwell, I thinks he has had a good first half.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Rothwell really is crap.

Just played a terrible ball to Armstrong pushed him wide. It was the simplest of passes, shot, goal.

He is a 3rd division player at best.

Fair dos, apologies. Same two players involved.

I'd argue it was a good ball if Armstrong ran onto it. Armstrong was basically standing still - that's on him.

I’m struggling to pick out any of Mowbray’s best XI on the day that aren’t playing really crap.

So you can only have time off for the birth of you baby if the team you play for has a good squad ?

Both were way better than this lot. Neither could trap a bag of cement or had an ounce of composure. But what both of them did have was physicality and they used that to bully defenses, create chances and get in the mix. It meant they got a few goals for us. If Samuel or Gally were as effective as that for us then it would be a huge step up. I would be delighted at that level of performance. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Bennett caught in possession in his own third again. Absolutely criminal. 

[Fraserkirky]

I’ll take that Williams left back next year

[bluebruce]

William's has had Samuel in his pocket. Left back who was in our academy...would have him starting for us today.

If you want to be successful, yes.

If it’s seen as just a bit of a holiday camp, no.

Every time we are on the cusp of getting somewhere, there is some bullshit reason to allow it to fall over. We are going nowhere with this attitude.

Please don’t complain when this club goes bust because of our debt.

i don`t like bennett because he`s patently got an inflated opinion of his own ability,if you`re out of position and struggling a bit just stay back and keep your line with the defence,don`t do anyone that makes you give the  ball away time after time

I think he has had a good half here. He really splits opinion doesn't he

[RevidgeBlue]

Better in terms of overall play, but playing this weird formation I don't think we look as if we could score if we played until this time next week.

The two Rovers commentators seem to think we're playing like Liverpool.

He needs to improve his end product, but he looks the most likely to make something happen.

That has escalated quickly from Lenihan missing Barnsley away to be at the birth of his child.

Take a breather Stuart
