I can remember shorts being called Knickers, look at any old Man Utd program ,1960s say.

Yeah, I think it's short for knickerbockers, which is like plus fours, which is what the players wore in the nineteenth century.

Abysmal and embarrassing isn’t even close to describing this rovers team

Am I hearing boo's.

Mowbray sort it out being chanted.

….I’m amazed any of them think he’s even remotely capable of sorting anything out ….just Mowbray Out would be of more use 

[AAK]

What can you really say about this?

centre forward playing on the wing, who can’t even control a ball properly.

5 foot little fella playing centre forward.

rothwell hits 3, yes 3, corners out of play.

Buckley looks like a lost schoolboy

travis in no mans land like he has been for 12 months or so.

this is such a bad team.

donkey Gallagher then goes off, and we don’t even have a sub ready, FFS

glad to hear the chants telling Mowbray to sort it out, but we all know he can’t.

We are making them look like Man city

Buckley absolute rubbish 

Gally down so the players all went to the sideline. Looked gasping for air, like they have gone 12 rounds with Anthony Josh...oh wait Alexander Uysk 😉

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Getting fookin schooled by Blackpool.

[Exiled_Rover]

Evidently Gallagher didn't fancy it. Subbed off.

Didn't we all expect this?

[dallydally]

Tony will find some positives to take away!

[Bigdoggsteel]

Why have we no sub on? 

Even the commentators are perplexed, its that bad

Magloire and Gallagher on the same side, what could go wrong?

We must have the stupidest football manager in football history.

[riverholmes]

Next game, there could be four loanees on the bench - Povada, Clarkson, Khadra and van Hecke. 34 year old Bradley Johnson will be there too.

Last season, we asked why have Downing, Bennett, Evans and Holtby on the bench, as they had no future at the club, apparently. There were times that they were all included and there was no room for a forward, so Buckley was moved to a false 9, when a striker went off. 

We can ask the same question now. I don't want to be too harsh on any of our Prem loanees, given that they're young and, also, they've come into a crisis club deficient in organisation or planning on the pitch and off, it would seem. I have little doubt that in a more organised team, these players would do a lot better. Perhaps, they'll have fine careers when they get away from this club. However, we have to be planning for the future. Khadra looks promising. Perhaps, we can use him and, even, look to sign him come the summer. However, if players don't have long-term futures at the club, we need to put them aside and develop those that do.

Next season, we're likely to lose a lot of first team regulars. The development and planning should be occurring now, whilst, at the same time, protecting our league status.

It has to be the whole team performance today that is poor. Just not Magloire..

I thought the exact same. He's a soft big lad so he is 

[Miker]

Gallagher off for a LB, 2-0 down.

[Exiled_Rover]

Lose a striker (albeit playing on the wing), replace him with a LB.

Ok...

One poster was correct. Goalkeepers' sometimes are called jerseys. Outfield players wear shirts. No one calls them jerseys. No one

People from Scotland and Ireland do, to be fair.

[G Somerset Rover]

Edun on rather than Butterworth.

Mowbray infuriates yet again.

[Dreams of 1995]

Just brought a left back on to replace a right winger 

You can’t make it up

I remember when I was young, The goalies shirt was sometimes called a jersey.

Yes, they were.

[WacoRover]

Ollie Walker-Peel, strong effort on rovers chat, thanks for your objectivity and hard work. 

I gave it up at 2-0, I wanted to say the above before I forget. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Mowbray death spiral n full swing.  It wasn't going to take much to derail this season.  As usual though it was injuries to the only competent defenders on the books.

 

Hopefully TM gets a earful from a large following.

 

 

[duckson]

Clueless Mowbray. Death spiral begins. 

[booth]

Edun on for Gallagher?

Can someone check that Tony is alright?

Then kick him up the ass if he is.
