v Sheffield United (a) - 20/8/22

[neophox]

Hopefully Edun and Brittain can come in with crosses today...

[jim mk2]

Sam Gallagher on the right wing again - if this had been Mowbray the knives would be out

Buckley needs to step up today - sitting back and exchanging little passes with the back 4 or 5 isn't enough. He needs to get forward and start testing the opposition 

 

[neophox]

The game is available to international users....£10 accordining to website. No idead why match centre hasnt turned up??

Id love to be proven wrong and I think the main blame lies above Tomasson but Edun at wing back and Pickering and Ashley Phillips as centre backs does not scream "solid as a rock!"

Well I hope Rovers proved you wrong. 

I think it will 1-1 draw

Such a patched up side when there is one winger and one main centre back out is quite stark.

we don't play with wingers in the first place anyway when playing 4-2-3-1 formation anyway

The Gallagher thing is absolutely doing my head in. It's just stupid.

[ItsRoverZ]

This could be a hammering ..really annoyed we haven't brought in defensive reinforcements ..also need a winger to play on the right because I can't be dealing with Sam Gallagher as a right winger 

[moerpho]

 Considering injuries and our wafer thin squad I’d consider 0-0 more than acceptable - win and I’m convinced JDT can walk on water!

For some reason it seems to come up very late. I was a bit worried 

[rebelmswar]

I demand a furious bounce back.

Strange choice of referee given that he’s from the other side of Preston.

We are  rolling the dice big time with our inability to bring in a centre half. The only 'defensive' option on the bench is JRC. It's criminal really and we've known about Wharton's injury for well over a week now.

There's a possibility of Buckley finishing RWB today. It seems the club were hasty in letting James Brown and Tyler Magloire go before getting in cover. I'm sure Travis would have been considered for emergency CB but the long-running problem remains that there are few alternatives to fill his role.

I have a feeling that if we try to play a slow build up game, we will be picked off by Khadra. We probably need to do a Mowbray* and sit deep, to protect the slower defenders and try to win with limited possession.

*Mowbray circa Oct-Dec 2021

No commentary on Rovers TV. Pictures only.

Have our commentators been caught out by the train strike?

That has to be a yellow.

very good save by Kaminski

[BigBar]

Big performance needed. No hiding lads! Come on Rovers!!

[yankfan]

Excellent reaction by Kamenski. Could easily be down 1. Really need to sort out defending set pieces. 

[Tugay-is-God]

There we go, the commentary kicks in. 

[BigBar]

Look sluggish already. Few whimpy attempts at battling for the loose ball.
