He’s now just a spoiler, whereas he used to have far more to his game. Did he? He has always been very technically limited and has never really been one to pick a pass, never much more than a spoiler. Whether he has really improved is a fair question and I would suggest probably not much really, but I don't think hes lost anything to his game. 1 Quote

Two teams who are not endowed with resources or parachute money. Two teams who are not burdened by a crap manager and crap owners. Two teams who seemingly took the short cut to avoid an unecessary journey. Both sides showing they want the play offs. Now compare the attitude and performances of our lot. Not just one game, not two.... week after week ever since January and getting worse. Luton yes, but not Huddersfield… Quote
Mattyblue Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Yes, he could get forward, he could actually pass a football. 2 Quote

Can we have chiles manager as the new rovers boss 4 Quote

What’s he done since January ? well he has been injured for most of it but also Mowbray tinkering and not adapting his starting formation and line up has cost us a top 6 even top 2 lace 21 minutes ago, roversfan99 said: Very true, he certainly isn't a player that you'd want in the trenches with you and not one that I am particularly bothered about leaving, albeit we won't replace him properly. Should have been sold in January and would have been if it wasn't for meddling owners. He should be replace by the money we received for him and There is a number of players I would be looking at to replace him with but alot of depends on who the next appointment in the manager is and whether its ambition appointment or low key appointment Quote

On Rothwell, I agree I would have sold him in January. I expected he will move to Bournemouth in the summer. Also you don't know they were fake rumours do you? we don't know the full facts do we?

4000 HOLES Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Got my ticket yesterday tea time and the lad in the shop said we'd sold just over 3 thousand at that time. Quote
Oldgregg86 Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Travis used to pick the ball up and drive forward with it like rothwell does only without the skill but he would drive us up the pitch. It seems he’s been told to win the ball back and pass to someone who can play the way sav used to give it to tugay. 3 Quote
Mattyblue Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Considering the horror run and the fact it was moved for TV on a Monday night, that’s a decent enough following, I’ve known us take around that on a Saturday before. Edited April 23, 2022 by Mattyblue Quote

tomphil Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 3k plus is respectable enough although not great obviously but anything less is a bit embarrassing even if there is nothing to play for. If you want players taking pride is getting the bragging rights the fans have to show it as well otherwise what's the point. We moan about Mowbray shrugging his shoulders but lets not have him rubbing off on the fans as well, which he clearly has in recent weeks. Quote
4000 HOLES Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Stoke had, and have had nothing to play for for ages and brought over 1500 seventy miles last week for a nothing game for them, Ten miles down the road, I think it's a no brainer to go to a local derby and sing for the bragging rights if nothing else. 1 Quote

Which is my i'd have Buckley in there with him next season and another terrier type midfield back up is an absolute must. If they are to persist with the present style then hopefully Dack is false 9 and we have a winger on one side rather than wide forward. Give Buckley something to ping his passes to instead of turning them backwards, they tried to turn Travis into Evans with the possession crap. It didn't work so please to god they don't try it with this lad as well. 1 Quote
Crimpshrine Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 I was talking to a couple of Preston fans at work and they both asked about 'Rovers throwing matches because the owners don't want promotion'. I told them this was a bit of an exaggeration - we took the lead at Peterborough with 10 minutes left - not something you would do if you wanted to throw a game. However - I told them the real truth is that the owners don't care if we go up or not and that attitude has permeated the club and shows itself on the pitch. I just found it interesting that our performances have been so poor and the general ambience of the club is so lackadaisical that opposition fans actually believe we are trying to lose.
