v Middlesbrough (h) - 24/1/22

[rovers11]

Battling well but no quality at all. Eden is never a lb.

Do sky hate us? The commentary seems so one way. Last week was Hull TV, just week Middlesbrough TV. 

Hasn't gone unnoticed before.

Rovers fans very quiet.

Sky have hated us for a long time.

I mention it in here more than I probably should but they once played a little montage of all the Premier League winning teams and their great moments in winning the league (Arsenal invincibles, Leicester surprise win, Man City's Aguero moment)

Only PL winning team not to feature at all?

Rovers.

And they show that game where City beat us 4-1 at least a couple of times a month.

[Dreams of 1995]

Sky wheeled out Anderson let’s not forget. Of course they hate us 

[Tugay-is-God]

Anyone else think that their Jones lad looks a bit like Amari'i Bell?

I’m thinking Edun is more like Amari’i Bell after that first half showing.

He wasn't bought as a left back tbh.... Getting way to much flack on here I think. 

[joey_big_nose]

Gallaghers been frustrating but you can see if he's taken off for Butterworth Boro would be much more comfortable.

Gallaghers effectiveness is more about what the opposition worry about what he will do than what he actually does. They're  always dropping off him and they just won't do that with Butterworth.

If we get a goal it will be Buckley finding Khadra through or a set piece

I thought they’d said we were the better side, but definitely should have had a penalty against.

Wilder will get someone to either nobble or man-mark Buckley this half

Have you ever watched us on sky before? They’ve always hated us.

The last two matches have been way worse than I remember. 

[riverholmes]

If Edun continues to struggle, an option would be to move Khadra left to offer some protection. Also, Garrett could be an option as left footer who has played left back or centre mid, but would be a big call.

Boro have options on the bench with Balogun and Watmore, so Rovers will need to be ready to adjust to any tactical changes.

Through grated teeth I thought. It’s like watching iFollow via their website.

Sky think he’s the best thing since sliced bread.

Get Garett on for Johnson, this is embarrassing 

[ItsRoverZ]

Not started second half well  .. we have no outlet uptop when under the cosh

[yankfan]

Red.  Has to be. Already on a yellow.

We should be leaving Khadra up straight through the middle. Acres of room behind them.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Piss weak refereeing there, never a yellow for Travis but he got persuaded by the Boro bitches moaning at him 

And that elbow into Lenihan, why are all referees in this league utterly useles cunts? 

[neophox]

NEver a booking

[Gogger]

Clown ref, dealing out cards for fun, but not for that..

[CambridgeRover]

Natural place for your arm?

 

[mick]

Should have been a second yellow 

[DE.]

The standard of refereeing in this division... Jeez. 

[jim mk2]

If Buckley gets marked out of the game this half we're in trouble
