Norwich (a) - 20/3/21

[Herbie6590]

Oh Lordy....😳

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I’m expecting a repeat of the last time we played there, was it a 3-1 defeat ?  I know we were played off the park right from the first whistle.

No excuses, I think I'll dig out a garden fence post whilst this is going on, could be our heaviest defeat for a while 😞

[JacknOry]

Il be happy as long as its just 1-0 to them...

[Crimpshrine]

Can people please stop reminding me about impending defeats.

I've got enough to worry about with the Brockhall nonsense.

[tomphil]

Norwich  0    Rovers   1

Flying left winger Sam Gallagher with the goal.

[roverandout]

Ooohh...ermmmm.....errrr.....couldn't give a toss

[windymiller7]

Hypothetical, I know, but does anyone think if we got an absolute trouncing it would make any difference whatsoever?

If I thought it would I would happily take a 6 or 7-0 defeat, yes I'm at THAT point. However, I honestly think we could suffer the heaviest league defeat in history, ever, & he'd still be at Brockhall Monday morning.

I'll pay my tenner, as usual, watch, get angry, shout, the dog will go & hide & be then I'll back on here moaning about it as usual. I feel like Bill Murray!

Go on then I'll bite, 3-1 Norwich.

Not a chance.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Meat Pie,Sausage Roll..common Rovers try 'n' score a goal!🤪

Battered.

[1864roverite]

Gardening for me, not wasting a tenner, might watch the dead rubber England rugby match then saviour a glass or two before ant n dec, the voice and some additional boring as fuck tv 😂🤬😂

 

3-0 naaaarrrrrwich

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

A 1-0 Rovers win, an outpouring of Tone-love on twitter, and a new 3 year contract.

We'll get shown up here. Feels like Pukki loves a goal past us.

Bit a of pasting on the cards: 3-0.

• Bowyer: Sacked after a 1-1 home draw against Brentford.
• Lambert: Resigned after a 3-1 home win against Middlesbrough.
• Coyle: Mutual after a 2-1 away defeat against Sheffield Wednesday**.

* Kean's resignation came a week after this, and a day before the Charlton away game.

** Coyle was still in situ for the Man United Cup game, which I think we lost. Sheffield Wednesday was his last league game.

Make of that what you will, although of the sackings, only half of them followed a defeat. My own feeling is that a hammering wouldn't make a blind bit of difference because Mowbray's and Waggott's excuses are still washing with the Venkys.

 

When are we playing Boro next?

please don`t say things like that!!😷,im`e hoping a heavy defeat will see him gone,kind of like having a wisdom tooth extracted,you`re in relentless pain but when it`s taken out  the blessed relief that the pain has gone!!

3-1 Norwich. I feel quite confident about that scoreline.

The journey goes on with 6 points from 36.

[WacoRover]

During our recent, poor run of results (since February 6), we are 1-3-7. Thats 6 points of 33 possible. Rovers have scored a puny 8 goals, and incredibly, only allowed 13.

During the month of March, we were 1-2-2. Five points out of 15. Rovers defence allowed only three goals, never two in one game, not terrible defending.

Tomorrow will be a heroic effort, alas, to fall short, 0-1. The lads are trying, the effort is there, but they aren’t getting any help from TM & staff. 

If ever there was a team giving a great effort, without receiving much direction, it’s this one. Sad state of affairs, indeed.

To flip that, at least we know that draws won't necessarily save him either.

[roversfan99]

He wont be sacked regardless of the result so we need to cling onto a forlorn hope of a result to move us away from the drop zone. 

[bazza]

I hope it's not a 7-1 drubbing in revenge for their Shearer days defeat.

[SuperBrfc]

Feeling optimistic about this game for some reason. I think we're going to win tomorrow. Norwich are due a defeat and won't be expecting much from us based on recent form. We'll get chances to hit them on the break with the pace of Armstrong and Dolan. This might be one of those rare games where things click.

Norwich 1-2 Rovers, with me shouting "why the heck did we not play like this earlier in the season" at the laptop.

[Bigdoggsteel]

3-1 Norwich

[Tormund]

Norwich win and Pukki to score, put what you can afford on it.

@windymiller7To shorten my answer, the last time a Rovers manager was sacked after a defeat was eight years and three months ago. 🙈

So we're due one then?

It's the hope that kills you! 😫

If this happens, I am afraid to see TM post-game, grinning like a gargoyle.

Even our relegation season, Rovers offed champs Newcastle, by identical 1-0 scores. Small consolation.
