v PNE (a) - 25/4/22

[Tom]

May be wise to get Bucko off before he gets sent off 

[G Somerset Rover]

Need to weather the next ten or so - I still don’t feel confident at 4-1 under this bloke.

[booth]

Why at 4-1 am I worried about getting beat???

Always disappears in second halfs.

I’d take a peek at Poveda if your offering

5 would sound good 

[ben_the_beast]

I'm not actually watching but all I can do is be pissed off. Its so predictable that we pull out a performance once the playoffs are basically out of reach. Nothing could be more Mowbray.

Tony, concentrate on the game. You're the manager. Don't be posting on the forum during a game.

Season over so they return to form when it doesn't matter

This Rovers team and the club's management have cheated the fans

It's almost as if they planned it.....

 

I think playing forwards as forwards, rather than Buckley, might be helping too, as well as the additional solidity of three central midfielders, albeit, with one less defender. The Buckley as striker gamble briefly worked but stopped and long needed to be shelved, under the Jon Douglas left wing, Nils Eric Johansson at left back, Aaron Mokoena central midfielder etc. makeshift experiments with a short half-life.

Edit: It'd make sense to throw on Poveda and Dack or Dolan to try and increase the goal difference.

It's precisely because of Tony concentrating too hard on the game that I'm worried.

Because we’re Rovers under Mowbray 😂

What on earth is happening?! I should be absolutely elated, and whilst I am happy, I can’t help but think where the f*ck has this type of performance been?!

Yeh the sad thing is I just can't get enthused by this. I'm greeting goals about the same as I'd respond to a surprisingly decent cup of tea.

[Dan]

Might be nice to bring on Dack for Buckley and Dolan for Hedges. 

[superniko]

First time in a while that Diaz has looked fit and my god we’re so much better when he is. 

[Exiled_Rover]

So where's the Whiteman red card then?

Late niggly foul on Buckley for his second booking - Edun got sent off for less than that.

Refs always seem to bottle it when advantage goes on for a while after the incident. 

Like their too scared to go all the way back.

Absolutely should though. 

 

Edit: Another one right after ignored is taking the absolute piss.

And again. Three yellow cards. 

[superniko]

Comical from the referee. It’s pure incompetence.

Had a word

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Cannot get over the standard of refereeing in this league, it's utterly fucking atrocious 

[booth]

How is Whiteman getting away with it?

[Tom]

Shitehawk should be off, average at best and a snide git
