Stoke (h) Saturday 16th Jan

[G Somerset Rover]

I think a well drilled League Two side could bring home 3 points from Ewood right now. The game plan for opposing teams is just so blatantly obvious and simple. I have zero faith in Mowbray having a clue as to how to turn this game around too. He never does.

Thing is, with the way this league is we could still come back into the game to draw or win. It seems unlikely but we've been here before. We have the individual talent in the team to get something even when we look totally clueless. 

Imagine we had a manager who could take our individual talents and turn them into a legitimate team though? That would be something worth backing. Not this shit.

Which bit?

I’m critical and you say what a stupid thing to say, so your critical I give you it back.

Travis is so far behind in this game he looks like he is still playing Doncaster. Need about 15 points to avoid relegation. Looking a tall order with the absolute sh*ite this shower have produced since November and getting worse every week. 

Yep, my focus switched to survival in December. Playoffs were gone by then and we were in such bad form that every point was crucial.

Sadly nothing has changed.

Yes but I'd still rather that then know what seems to be a perfectly good goal just chalked off due to poor officials. I'd rather lose 4-1 and have the goal correctly given. It's incredibly frustrating.

I agree it's frustrating, but I'm so used to shocking officiating in this league that I'm somewhat numb to it. Not like we haven't had some of that luck ourselves recently! Remember the game when we had three blatant handballs from Lenihan and Ayala ignored?

Dire first half. Boys v men. Bullied by a better side. Devoid of ideas. Losing the ball far too often. Travis and Johnson awful. Elliott below par. Dack running round like a headless chicken. Armstrong hardly in the game. Rothwell flattering to deceive again. No-one picking up Powell for the goal. Where were Lenihan and Branthwaite? Bit for the post and a brilliant save from Kaminski we'd be 3 nil down. Desparately disappointing.

It’s pretty clear. Need some fresh ideas, and a new voice.

I actually thought Birmingham should have had a pen the other week as well.  But we went up the other end and went 1-0 up instead.

Groundsmen at half time look about as good and interested as our first half performance. I'd boo them off if I was there!! 😄

Rothwell and Johnson off

Good old Mowbray... cheering another Saturday along. 

Not that i've been watching, but we'll come out second half and smash these

I can't believe how poor we are. The pitch is a shitheap but we all looked at that team and said yeah, we should be able to get something with that lineup. Instead we look like a bunch of League 1 cloggers. It's so bad that I actually am starting to wonder if the players have stopped trying. 

Johnson , Dack, Travis, Rothwell, Elliott, Nyambe and Douglas all at about 3/10 The rest not much better. Lenihan and Branthwaite doing ok. There is a huge lack of fight in the majority. They strike me as a bunch who would down tools because "the pitch is bad and we deserve better". Excuse driven team. Obviously I think the offside was a disgrace, but you just have to get on with it if you're a player.

Folk on here gave 0'Neill pelters when Stoke beat us 1-0 in December, labelling the team "boring". Here he is doing it again. That's heading for a very boring 6 points against us.

two lesser spotted groundpeople tending to the pitch,a rare sight indeed

Have I really paid good money to be inflicted with Sam Gallagher again? 

[Exiled_Rover]

Watch him put Gallagher out right...
