Well Dack and Brereton both had decent chances as well. But my point was we made a number of chances and should have scored more than one. Jim was suggesting that Cabango was the reason why we didn’t and I was disagreeing. Quote

But anyway he did play well tonight but I don't think improving on poor displays deserves such high praise yet. I think you need to check your abacus. 1 Quote

And why did we nearly leave the division the wrong way in 2013 instead of bouncing straight back? Perhaps, just maybe, there’s a lot going on with relegated clubs on and off the pitch and it isn’t just as simplistic as parachutes = success, ay? 4 Quote

Does 1 good game undo his previous 10 performances? Has a long way to go. And he was poor Saturday unless you are rewriting history. He was great Saturday and as great tonight. It’s my opinion not a re-write. I’ll respect yours if you respect mine. Quote
Popular Post JHRover Posted March 9, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, Gav said: Swansea were relegated from Premiership on 2018, the money earned that season was around £100 million. For the next 4 seasons they'll receive parachute payments. In the same season we made massive losses of around £20 million, for the next 4 seasons we'll lose millions and millions more. Can anyone explain to me how we can compete with clubs like Swansea, Bournemouth, Norwich, Stoke, etc etc? Did you miss Cardiff, Hull, Brighton, Palace, Bournemouth, Leicester, Brentford, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd, Ipswich, Huddersfield, Wolves, Leeds and now Barnsley and Reading who have all finished in the top 6/got promoted in the last 10 years not one of whom was in receipt of parachute income? We have owners with financial resources greater than Norwich, Watford, Brentford and Swansea's owners combined. Shouldn't that count for something? 15 Quote

Miker Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Buckley looks much better than he was earlier in the season. He’s not exactly a worldie at the minute, but much improved which is nice to see. 5 Quote

Fine if it’s a stretch, but to say I’m re-writing history is a tad harsh. If you saw his game at the weekend as poor then so be it. Quote

roversfan99 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 The parachute payment argument is massively flawed. Parachute payments are not to give teams a leg up to make them impossible to compete with. They are for clubs to cope with the acclimitisation of massively reduced income and initially Premier League level expenditure. They dont come down and spend 100m on new players. The majority of high earners that took them down have now been removed having been burdens rather than assets. Only Ayew really remains, with their team predominantly loans and academy graduates. Even if Barnsley dont go up, they prove they can compete with Swansea etc. An inferiority complex is based on a massively flawed theory. 3 Quote
Uddersfelt Blue Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Interesting to read so many diverse views on John Buckley. Personally I thought he has had a couple of decent games this week and is looking a lot stronger than when he first broke into the team. He also provides an attacking threat breaking from midfield and putting in some killer passes. A bit sloppy at times but overall its good to see another of our own doing good. 1 Quote
riverholmes Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Trybull's neat pass to create the chance for Dack was superb. He's been disappointing at times but from recent performances, it seems he definitely has something. With the pressure off for the rest of the season and having made his way into the first team, I wonder if we might start to see the best of him. I'm not sure if it was Gallagher but the penalty 'tackle' looked really clumsy. Edited March 9, 2021 by riverholmes Quote

Lets just say they're all examples of how you can compete, I'll give you 20 teams every year that fall short in the Championship. The original point was, Swansea received £100m+ in 2018. We lost £20m+ in the same season, and even more after that. If you think we can compete at the same level as the teams coming down from the Premiership then all credit to you. Its the hope that kills you, if you're still living in 1995 or 2005..... Edited March 9, 2021 by Gav 1 Quote
roversfan99 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Surprised by this, he was bright as ever and the best of the front 3 but not as effective as Saturday. Dack for me would edge man of the match, he makes such a huge difference to us. Buckley and Trybull wouldnt be far off though. One of those 3. Quote
Ghost7 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Gallagher was doing the right thing in trying to clear the danger and many refs would have ignored that kind of contact since it still created a chance. The player didn't take it in his stride and get upended by a missed clearance. He stretched to get there, forced contact and went down like he'd broken his ankle, completely bought a penalty imo. The ref was conned. 1 Quote
Fraserkirky Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Buckley’s ball to Brereton first half was ludicrous. The thing that has me excited in the last couple of games is his dribbling in and around the box, didn’t have the cojones for that earlier in the season. Quote

I'll tell you how you compete....... like Burnley did with their first promotion, and like Sheffield Utd soon after coming out of league 1. You get a quality manager backed by an ambitious board, some astute signings and organised all over the pitch. You do not take the Mowbray route of convincing swathes of fans that we,re lucky to be on the same pitch as the likes of Swansea. Total defeatist cop out im afraid 7 Quote

BlueBro Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Yes you are right about the Venkys Gav. They are the reason, along with Mowbray/ Maggot etc we aren't competing. I accept that. I don't accept hiding behind parachute payments 1 Quote
AllRoverAsia Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 We played all the football in that game. I listened to the Swans commentary, they were a bit hard to listen to, in understanding, but generally quite fair in their analysis. The ''Its Vs fault' line is known and accepted by all rationally minded people. It doesn't need repeating just to deflect from the dross inhabiting Ewood and Brockhall. Illness and Symptom. Prognosis is bad. 1 Quote
@roverseas Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Another return to form performance from Rovers such a shame the referees are blind as bats in the EFL however I would have bitten your hand off if offered a point at kick off. Need to build on this and hopefully take all three against Brentford. 2 Quote
