v Cardiff City (h) - 1/1/23

[Cherry Blue]

Crazy KO time. 

JDT needs to drill into players that they have to perform today. Fans have done their part this season and even though we are 3rd our points total should be greater than 39.

[Sparks Rover]

Well, if we can't batter this shower of shite we may aswell pack up and go home.

[BigBar]

Here we go ...nervous because I don't fancy spending another day pissed off as a result of a below par rovers performance and a shrug of the shoulders from the manager followed by words about "being disappointed, young lads and projects".

Think we will win..or should do. Won't be pretty but I think 1-0 or 2-0 and I'd be delighted with that even if it's not the best showing just grind it out. I can't accept another no show and Implosion we have become accustom to recently.

Gonna need a bit if imagination and creativity. I agree with you about Boro too btw, the first half was 50-50 so can't take much from the game overall. Was a poor showing.

[arbitro]

My two long standing season ticket holding brothers aren't going today after missing the Boro game. They cite the insipid football, the risky football and a general lack of entertainment. They just aren't buying in to this project bollocks and getting frustrated and angry at the lack of ambition. They also mentioned Burnley and Preston - I think the legacy of them two games has hit home for many.

[chaddyrovers]

Come on Rovers, let's make today a day we start with a win and performance aswell. 

Going for 3 nil Rovers win. BBD, Gallagher and Hyam scoring. 

COYB! 🔵⚪️

JDT'S Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️

Also the manager says himself we’re not aiming for the play offs despite being there for most of the season. So if the manager is happy with midtable nothingness from 3rd hardly a good incentive to get bums on seats.

If those two have come to that decision it just shows what a state we are in at the minute Tony. Hopefully they will regret skipping it when you are describing the 4th and 5th goals to them later 😉

This has 1-0 Cardiff written all over it, going to go exactly like the Stoke home game

The worry is it doesn’t take long for people to discover that there are other things you can do with your time. Especially on a Saturday afternoon. Things that are more enjoyable and less stressful.

There last win was against Rotherham 9 matches ago, anything but 3pts today and the supporters will turn on team and manager. The long suffering supporters deserve some belated Christmas cheer, COME ON ROVERS supply it on the pitch at 12pm.

That's the worry Tyrone. At the moment the more casual fan has far more reasons not to go than to go.

[Crozzy]

Unable to make today as away with the MRS. First home game missed since August. Let’s have it today. Guaranteed win seeing as I’m not there 🤣

Cmon the Rovers 🔵⚪️

[roversfan99]

Jake Garrett?! I just don't get it at all.

[chaddyrovers]

Garrett starts in place of Buckley. Vale and Edun return to the bench in place of Buckley and Hirst. 

Pleased Garrett starts

Weather looks ok.

Darling you’ve got to let me know. Should I stay or should I go?

Guestimated a crowd of around 13k but going by the sound of it could be much lower in reality.

[roversfan99]

Tells you a lot when Hirst cant make the bench with our squad so stretched. 

Still cant believe how thoughtless Sky are sticking Rovers v Cardiff on TV at 12 on new years day. Pricks.

[CambridgeRover]

Garrett has looked comfortably off the pace the last few games so not sure why he has got the nod. Seems Travis has fallen down in the managers opinion

Struggles to control a simple pass a lot of the time. Has to improve fast surely.

[BigBar]

Garrett a beneficiary of being a youth graduate but he has been poor if you take it on merit alone. Needs to be smart today and not fly into challenges too wrecklessly and show a bit more quality on the ball. Young or not he needs a decent showing.

 Bessie Banks had the answer to that. Or the Moody Blues if you prefer.

[Darwen Rover 007]

I think Garratt has got something, unfortunately Trav is on a downward spiral... if you look purely at raw materials then Garratt is ahead... which is a shame because I thought Travis was gonna be the 1st name on the sheet about a year ago

[ItsRoverZ]

Midfield is wank again ..garrett and morton.. dear me. Hopefully they have a pass in them otherwise nothings going to go fucking forward today 

[G Somerset Rover]

The lack of Adam Wharton minutes is starting to seriously p*ss me off.
