Talking of Mowbray, and all the pro Mowbray brigade. Can't see many clubs knocking on his door to employ him. Reminds me of another ex manager of ours who I refuse to name 

Paul Ince

A terrific start.

We might just have the real deal in JDT.

A highly profitable night for me - some doubted the wisdom of my odds on bet.  Just finished working at home and it's time to open another nice red in celebration.  If Rovers carry on like this, my wine stock will dwindle rapidly.  Well done JDT, keep it up lad!

That horse you backed was a non-runner though 😄 

[neophox]

Dack is back!!

I wonder if Blossom Hill can keep up the supply

3rd sub made, none made at the same time which means the 3 stoppages are up and the last 2 can't be made, so no debut for Annesley if I remember the rules correctly.

I've no idea what that means, sorry.

Ash Phillips bafflingly been given MoM. Barely been tested apparently. Meanwhile we've notched 4. Most of the times I heard his name, it wasn't even his name.

[belfast_rover]

The only problem I can see with the new regime is that the 2025 UEFA Champions League final is in Munich, which might make it difficult to get tickets cause it's near Denmark and I assume JDT will have got us a big Danish following by then

No, you didn't have some special foresight about us beating a League Two side. People doubted your general predictive ability due to your awful track record of predicting us to win on here. More like we were worried you were giving the usual Mercer kiss of death on a game we expected to win.

Me predicting Rovers to win has feck all to do with it when we lose.

The manager and players alone are responsible for our results.

Bu bu bu, his rovers win

I'm pretty sure the new rules for the 5 substitutions means that you can only make 3 stoppages to make changes. So if you only make one sub at a time, that's all 3 stoppages used up and you can't use the final 2 subs.

[neophox]

Jack Vale has done everything without scoring...good game from him.

That's 3 in game substitutions - those made at half time don't count so there is still scope for one more if needed.

We’ve not won a cup competition for 20yrs, it’s hardly a Mowbray phenomenon. 

It was though. We had quite a few semi finals and fairly strong cup runs in that period. Until Mowbray showed up and we lost every FA Cup game since 2017 or 2018? And out first or second time of asking in the League Cup. He really was just utterly awful at managing us in the cup.

Well at least I didn't lose!

Pity it didn't run, was quietly confident.

[neophox]

A good save from Pears in the end...

[inflikted]

Pears called into action at the death. Reminding everyone he's still there.

[WacoRover]

That ends it! Good result, lads 

[bazza]

Commentator calls him Williams right at the end. He has a mental block.

I chucked a fiver on (hence why I was keeping an eye on it), combined with Dack to score and Rovers to win - voided the horse, but I'll make a few quid on the second bit.

I remember the Morecambe game last year, so I’ll take this! 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Sounds like the game couldn't have gone any better! 

 

Kind of game we'd normally just about scrape through with half the players not looking like they give a 💩

Yeah correct.If you make a sub at ht it doesn't count tho you can still have 3 stoppages

Hartlepool's manager is called Paul Hartley?

I do like a bit of nominative determinism. 

Splatt & Weedon once co-authored an article on incontinence in the British Medical Journal.

Geograph not your forte.

And said something about him earning his MoM by punching it out...think he confused him with Pears that time.
