philipl Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 We usually lose games which I start match threads for so I guess this is a free hit. The only game I have seen this season where we were unambiguously the worse side/not at the races/ totally out classed and out played was Swansea away so there is little reason to believe Tuesday night will be any different (checked- it is Tuesday night but watch the kick off time of 7pm in the UK, 8pm for me). Venue is a ploughed field near Lower Darwen or a remote in your living room. Weather outside cold but that's academic because none of you are allowed out anyway. Yes we were particularly badly hit by injuries at the Liberty then but so were they. I guess we might be surprised to discover our returned walking wounded are better than their's so hope springs eternal but then snubbed out by their boss blossoming in the meantime while our's has wilted to a shrivelled gurning presence somewhere near the tunnel. As for selection, I would much prefer Davenport alongside Travis than Johnson but I guess we might get Buckley who probably would be an upgrade on Johnson on current form. And if it is essential to have somebody hugging the touchline in the Mowbray world of playing as though we actually have wingers in the squad then I'd opt for Brereton over Rothwell who has to have the option of space either side of him to really express himself. Probabilities for this one: 80% defeat and Swansea to put automatic promotion a mere 16 points out of our grasp (this will be only game 25 of this anticlimactic underwhelming season) 19% draw 1% the moon is made of blue and white halved cheese. 1 Quote

Tormund Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Think we’ll lose, they look pretty good at the minute. Will probably have too much for us. Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Watch us pull a win out of the Bag to bolster the 'Mowbrayistas'! Quote
Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 7pm kick-off. You don't want to tune in at 7.45pm and miss another of our scintillating 1st half displays. Another team with a good defence (there's seems to be a pattern to doing well at this football lark). 1 goal conceded in their last 5 games. They've lost to Derby and Boro in their last 6 away games so they're not infallible. It will still be a tough game. Rovers 1 Swansea 1. A draw would be a good result for Mogga's men. Quote
Bigdoggsteel Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 This is a typical one we would win to stop the rot, but it feels like things are different this time. Draw, at best. The misery continues. Quote
JacknOry Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Couldnt care less - a season that promised so much is over already. Edited January 17, 2021 by JacknOry 8 Quote
davulsukur Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I think we'll take a slight hammering here. Maybe 3-1 but we will be second best all game. Edited January 17, 2021 by davulsukur Quote

Lucimo Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Wouldn't be surprised to see us crab a win and put up with TM calling it a masterclass. More likely a draw which serves no good purpose whatsoever. Neither helpful for a play off nor a pay off. Mowbray please just go. Quote

Nah mate you are imagining things. Defence doesn't really matter - just ask our footballing genius TM. It must be pure coincidence... 2 hours ago, Hoochie Bloochie Mama said: They've lost to Derby and Boro in their last 6 away games so they're not infallible. It will still be a tough game. This is what annoys me. Every game even against the so called bigger teams it's possible to get something from. Can't compete is utter bull when anyone can beat anyone in this league. A bit more nous in the dugout and combined with our pitch proving a leveller and there is no way we should be worried about facing anyone. Not an easy game at all, but not a David v Goliath battle either. 2 hours ago, Hoochie Bloochie Mama said: Rovers 1 Swansea 1. A draw would be a good result for Mogga's men. Agree on score and verdict. We've fallen so far when not losing to Swansea at home is an achievement. 2 Quote
Stonesrick Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Got a feeling this game may be in doubt because of heavy rain Monday night and all day Tuesday. It may give Mowbray a bit of respite because Swansea are on a roll and we are all over the place at the moment. Another sure sign of the depths our club have fallen this last decade from top to bottom. 2 Quote
G Somerset Rover Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 They can’t be far off being the form team of the league. They’ll want it too much and Mowbray will be outclassed. Can see either 3-1 or 2-0 to the Swans. Quote
Darrenbot Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 A team going for the playoffs against a team going through the motions,easy 2-0 win for the Welsh. Quote

The ref said - " It's your pitch lads, if you want to play it's OK by me ". Now and again the ball landed in pools of water with nobody nearby. The wind was blowing and the ball would sail across the pool like a toy yacht. The trick was to anticipate where the ball would sail to. 6 Quote
RV Blue Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 This will probably be called off looking at the forecast. In fact we may as well call it off now with our field, there’ll be nothing left of it if the game goes ahead. Quote
Ossydave Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I can see a fair bit of tinkering for this game given his paddy about the pitch last game. Its classic Mowbray to do something completely random just to try and prove a point. Gallagher up front on his own and long balls pumped up aimlessly would be most likely. 2 Quote
