Barnsley v Rovers, Wed 17th Feb

[Stuart]

Mowbray already lining up Nyambe as the scapegoat. It will soften the blow when he leaves for nothing.

I absolutely despair of that man. He seems to become more and more belligerent with every game. Just as Bowyer did.

Trouble is that we really need to get results. But while it’s on such an inconsistent basis we are building to nothing.

Still what can we expect. There’s only so much you can do in 28 games.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Well, at least he's actually changed things around. And every player is in their correct position pretty much. Tony's a genius.

Don't think 3-5-2 is a terrible idea

douglas and bennet as wing backs,a disaster waiting to happen,three centre backs,none of who has much speed and two 18 year olds,another disaster about to ensue

Team news is - allegedly - a proper tombola job tonight. 352 with Bennett back in. 

I am surprised that took as long as it did.

Surely the bigger news is no Nyambe on the bench! One of them won’t be here come summer, that’s for sure

It's another mulgrew situation. May well have told old Tony what he thinks of him

[Darwen Rover 007]

Pep and Carlo will have told him to play a three because that's what they want their youngsters schooling in. 😁😁

I’m pretty much certain we’ll end up playing with 3 at the back in order to accommodate the two loanees (Tony wouldn’t want to upset Pep or Carlo) and our undropable captain, leader, legend, Lenihan, wonder if we’ll do that tomorrow?

Shock

My concern is that Mowbray won't be able to get this to work, he struggles with a 4 let alone 3/5.

If it works then great but I'm not holding my breath. Alot required from both Bennett and Douglas.

[JHRover]

Nyambe in, Mowbray out is my preference

Game 29 of Mowbray's new journey and we're back to Elliott Bennett at RB.

Never mind journey its groundhog day.

He really has given Nyambe a crap deal I bet the lad can't wait to get out of here.

[simongarnerisgod]

secure all the hatches fellow roverites,this is going to be a rough ride🥺🥺

[rigger]

If Bennet is to play, that is about the best position for him. Also lets see if Douglas can provide the quality of supply that he was signed for.

[Gav]

I can see the glow of the Oakwell floodlights from my house.

They're saying 1-2 Rovers.

Come on.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Just looked at the teamsheet and thought I saw Bennett instead of Elliott. Laughing until I almost die emoji.

I expect the usual back 4 and Benno right mid rather than the proposed formation above.

Tony isn't into formations.

This is going to be a joke.

[Fraserkirky]

Surely even Rothwell or Buckley would be better at RWB than Bennett

Full RESPECT if he has told the vanker to do one

as far as i know,tony has never played 3/5/2,he`s just picked a formation for the sake of it

[superniko]

He’s just trolling us now isn’t he?

[davulsukur]

If nothing else, this has added some interest in watching it rather than expecting the same old fiasco.

[BigBar]

Calling it now, Bennett will be poor, slow, ponderous, off the pace, robbed of possession, poor passing, be amazed if he had a decent game. This should not turn into a battle of opinions weather he is a good guy, great around the place etc. He is not good enough in any position, his presence isn't special enough to warrant a start.

Win,lose or draw tonight that is not the right team selection.

[jim mk2]

Gallagher finished at right back in the PNE match. What did he do wrong? 

[Tom]

Nailed on win now I feel, always happens when there’s almost unanimous annoyance with the selection

We played it when we went down into league one for a game or 2. Caddis and Williams I think were the full backs.

We lost to Southend

He's played it a few times, just never successfully.
