v Fulham (a) - 5/3/22

[roverandout]

Sky sports commentators are clueless when it comes to rovers.  First they say Mowbray has done an incredible job then they claim Gallagher offers more of a physical presence

Giles you greedy f*cker. Tap in for the other two there.

By the way - Travis is a much, much better player than Reed.

Thought it at the time when they were both at the club and nothing today has changed my mind. Reed is tidy on the ball, but Travis is everywhere.

I don't know what exactly we do practice all week.

He probably think set pieces are below him, he's all about pure football is our Tone. If his teams start making the most of set plays, a la Allardyce, he will be worried that he won't have Klopp and others sending him all their young players to develop.

Giles is decent. He's been in a side on a dip but you can see he has talent.

Early start on the sauce today?

Refs giving them free kicks for absolutely fuck all now.

That's it ref, take the sting out of the game for them.

More like, his touch was poor so he was forced to have a shot before the keeper got it.

Even Kaminski's distribution has been terrible recently. 

He has struggled with distribution most of the season really, compared to the year before. He is used to doing the 'sweeper keeper' thing, closer to the middle of the pitch. We've changed our playing approach this season of course so that doesn't really happen anymore.

I don't drink.

I also said Brereton and Rothwell were good players when everyone and their mother on here were slating them to high heaven. 😉

I can guarantee that if we offered them Travis plus 2 million for Reed, it would be rejected out of hand.

taking that lsd stuff is very dangerous,lots of people have been damaged for life by that stuff

[Exiled_Rover]

Their ponytailed CB should be off - he's left two on our players now.

I'd be livid if we offered £2m for Reed outright. 

[bluebruce]

I wasn't fully watching just then, may have missed something, but it looked like...Rothwell fouled in the middle of the pitch, play continued, long enough for Fulham to have a shot from the outside of the box...and then their player got booked for the foul which wasn't given?

He could still have squared it - Sky showed a great angle.

At least we’ve had a shot on target though. Progress.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Reed had to learn how to play midfield from Smallwood. 🤣

[Dan]

Johnson looks like a unfit middle aged dad playing football with his kids in the park. It’s getting me worried that I may look similar when I’m out with my little boy 😬😬😂

[G Somerset Rover]

Kaminski is all at sea. Jesus…quite a comical performance from him today.

Wow. Just wow. Honestly, if it's not the alcohol, are you on something today? Normally I agree with most of your posts but there's a couple of doozies today...

(Not referring to the other one I quoted btw)

Little Boy gone off then....looks lost in a man's game.  Where's Bucko these days . ?

Of all the things to find fault with in our performance today, you attempt to dig out a young lad that actually was one of our better performers. 
Also, the second sentence is certainly fishing for a rise out of a poster you’ve been told several times to ignore , for the sake of message board harmony.
Please don’t do that.

[Exiled_Rover]

This ref let them get away with all the diving in the world in the first half.

He's letting them get away with foul after foul in the second half. 

Pathetic performance. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Winner crossbar challenge

 

[Exiled_Rover]

Three highlights and a slow-mo for a miss. Ta, SKY. 

[Displaced Rover]

God Gallagher is shite. I’m so concerned about our team next year
