Haha he's moved Travis out wide into Gallagher's position.

That's a joke, right?

Sitting back I see

For what it's worth, Ayala has been fantastic today.

Of course he won't play more than 5 games for us this season.

I honestly don't know right now.  It appears that Buckley is playing a false 9.  

Well he's coming off now.  Bizarre.

[CambridgeRover]

Now is the time to try our a McBride or a Butterworth for Dolan , if not now then when

 

Edit: Wish granted

Yes.

He moved Buckley to a False 9 and moved Dolan out wide right. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Any chance of a rovers goal to save my nerves first game back? 

[duckson]

Swansea free kick on edge of box. 🙄

[Tom]

They haven’t gone all out attack but we are giving them hope of getting back into it

 

Carter about to come on

As I read that, he gave away that stupid free kick...I blame you.

[booth]

Don't know about you guys but Tony's making some bloody strange substitutions.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Do we have the stomach to take 3 points? I'm worried

Wishful thinking.

Strange man 

Thank god that went over. Phew 

[yankfan]

If we don’t win it high up the pitch we look disorganized in the middle. Much to easy once they break the press. 

[Exiled_Rover]

When did this lying down behind the wall become a thing and how long until football realises that someone is playing a practical joke on them?

He doesn’t really have any options

Edit: Going 3-5-2 🤪

Time waste, foul, dirty stuff. Come on lads 

[Bigdoggsteel]

3 rovers players go for the same header. Never saw that before

I don't know, I often remarked that Allardyce would build a human wall in front of the net and allow the opposition to take turns blasting the ball at them, if he could.

Changing to his vaulted 3 at the back now.

From 4-3-3 with a 5'2" CF (and two 6' advanced forwards) to 4-3-3 with a False 9 to 5-3-2.

He's a tactical mastermind.

5-4-1

[yankfan]

And if we don’t win it high up the pitch we don’t look to be able to connect to work it forward.
