WacoRover Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 I’m not seeing square pegs in round holes in the future. Good health (& hopefully sanity) is being restored, & new players getting acclimated (particularly defenders) so we should start seeing players in proper positions. Also... hopefully Dolan gets some game time this week. If not a start, perhaps he comes in at 66’ with some fresh legs & creativity. COYB!! Quote
yankfan Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Chapman continues his sublime run of form in league 1...why he never got a fair shake I’ll never understand. 4 Quote
Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Obviously he would be incapable of scoring any of the four cracking goals he has scored for Shrewsbury in the division above.🙄 Quote

Have to treat this as another banana skin - lose on Friday and there can be no excuses, or apologists incapable of accepting the cynical cycle of avoiding actual contention and retention of a top 6 place. A win doesn't necessarily confirm anything either, but it would be nice to take back some bragging rights from the NobEnders, after they had our pants down for the past couple of seasons... COYB!

ProudPreston29 Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 For the past few years ive been confident going into these fixtures of getting at least a point and possibly 3 . On current form and the transition the squad is going through at the moment though ive no idea what to expect. If theres one fixture i think we could do with a crowd at the moment its this one. I dont think you (rovers) have been in a better position to take all 3 points and the bragging rights than you will be this week end. 1 Quote

Lol, well at this side of the A59 we've learned to keep our hopes in check whenever we appear to be in better positions for anything. The last 11 years have given us spades of humble pie, so the less ebullient of us tend not to exercise bragging rights until after the event. And then again, although I guess I did introduce the idea just above, for us there is only one set of bragging rights that is of any consequence, and it doesn't involve looking westward at anything happening up the Nob-End of things 🙂 - Sorry!

AllRoverAsia Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Rovers are on Sky. It will be a crap performance by us and hopefully a crappier one by PNE. It's what we do on Sky who will be left once again wondering WTF did we pick that lot. 2 Quote

I dont think you (rovers) have been in a better position to take all 3 points and the bragging rights than you will be this week end. Don't be too despondent, we can either be brilliant or awful depending on which Tony Mowbray turns up. Last match he was playing our 17 goal striker out wide, another striker out wide and a 17 year old out of form kid (who was better when played wide) in the middle. Then near the end of the game we went through about 3 different formations in 15 minutes. Not sure why we lost with those winning tactics. No matter who turns up he's a manager who tries to nullify the opposition first rather than play to his own teams strengths so you're always in with a chance with a Tony Mowbray managed team. He put Armstrong out wide because of their weak fullback, who it turns out isn't weak at all. 4 Quote

Christ knows what our injury list (and pitch) will look like by then... Scratch that, Christ knows what the pitch will be like tomorrow as they are training at Ewood again. They can’t use the indoor pitches at Brockhall as Tony ‘doesn’t like artificial surfaces as they cause muscle problems’... Not sure playing on a cabbage patch is great for muscle pulls and strains either, but hey ho. 1 Quote

chaddyrovers Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 from Mowbray's comments today it appears that Johnson, Holtby and Trybull are out of the game injured. Quote

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 How did Trybull get injured ? Holtby must be a contender for the Vince Grella Lame Duck award. I'll say one thing for Tony, he knows a crock when he sees one. Is it too early in the year for Ayala to put an appearance in ? 3 Quote

Ayala has only made 9 apps so far this season and 1 of those was a sub. 8 starts out 27. Not a great return. Quote
