v Sheff Weds (a) 20/4 7pm Red Button

[WacoRover]

I’d like to see players play today who are signed & we are counting on next season. One exception to this, play Elliott the rest of the season. He seems to have enjoyed his experience at Rovers (read: he’s received playing time to his satisfaction), and he makes things happen. I favor Lenihan, if he’s fit. 

[tomphil]

If the development stuff was genuinely true he'd play all our own players from now. He won't though he'll look after the loan boys and give games to the ones he's helping find another club when their contracts here finish.

Everything he says and everything he does are at opposite ends of the sales job he keeps pushing. Just get our kids out there and the ones we expect to be here next season. No need nor sense for anything else, that fits the development theme, it'll be shown to be bull again though.

Mowbrays benevolent camp he's running here looking after everybody with someone elses money. Doesn't matter where we finish and he says he doesn't look at the table and is only bothered about individuals.  Well prove it then in the last games otherwise you are proving your words as fraudulent.

This email from Rovers. I think it's what Private Eye call "desperate marketing":

Join us for all the action from Hillsborough as two famous clubs - who have both won more English top flight titles than Spurs - battle it out in the Sky Bet Championship as Rovers take on the Owls.

Another game, another bizarre team selection. 

[arbitro]

Seven of his starting eleven might not even be Rovers players in a few weeks.

He's a strange man

[Cherry Blue]

Out go Nyambe, Branthwaite, Travis, Johnson, Holtby

In come Bennett, Lenihan, Evans, Trybull, Rothwell

[frosty]

Regardless of whether you rate Buckley or not, picking Evans ahead of him is mental. 

Thought we’d maybe just about got past the days of seeing both Bennett and Evans in the starting eleven. Obviously not.

[JacknOry]

not bothered - so i expect players not to be bothered too. So, doubt ill watch

[Paul Mellelieu]

COYBs.  

 

Midweek, means no booze.  So little to look forward to.

[Fraserkirky]

Maybe Tony isnt too focussed on next season for some reason.....we can live and hope. 

Not giving Buckley game time here is a sackable offense alone.

There are some positives from being made redundant. Cheers.

Lets just get it out of the way.

He's past it and off to snoozebury.  It's a sympathy start, big heart TM, he's building a legacy.

[1864roverite]

Team set up for failure and more pitiful excuses

[RevidgeBlue]

Bennett and Evans in.

Yet another massive two fingers salute to the fans.

[BigBar]

I'll watch..why? I don't know. Tony really has become a hated man. Team selection looks septic🙄

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Bennett at FB isn't ideal but who else is there?

[jim mk2]

Bennett's off at the end of the season, so what's the point of picking him? It really does defy logic.

Topping up the vast pots of money they’ve already had out of us with appearance bonuses. Let’s face it, neither of them is getting a contract near what they are on currently. Tony helping his trusted lieutenants out with a few thousand quid.

[davulsukur]

Not liking that starting 11.

Bennett and Evans, urgh.

Trybull and Evans in the same midfield is the least dynamic ever.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Just a meaningless friendly

Mowbray Out
