Mattyblue Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Love that very specific request of those two middle of the road PL clubs. Obviously a big fan of their very similar bowl style stadiums.😁 Surely you want a glamour tie or a very winnable one at home against second tier or below (which we’ve got), those two are neither of those!

And why would you specifically want those 2 at home?! And how does he know it was a good finish if he only listened to it on the radio Quote

To be fair, at the moment with us 3rd in the league, the focus has to be on there here and now. Bit different perhaps with Brereton in that keeping him would cost us close to 8 figure fee, so if we get a bid, perhaps sell and reinvest. But I wouldn't argue much with your second part, Wharton is good enough to at least play more than he has been. Quote
Exiled in Toronto Mk2 Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Very impressive win. Pears - flawless Carter - I like him at right back. Plays some good forward balls and our only player who gives out more than he gets Phillips - his best game yet, very assured. Hyam - flawless Pickering - hung in against a tough opponent, has a bit more variety in his play now. Garrett - good, I like him. Travis’s successor Travis - not long for us I’m afraid Markandy - first full game I’ve seen from him. Reminds me of Dolan last year, hopefully will improve as much. Dack - a real leader now, and a lot fitter. I’m thinking he has finally bought in. Brereton - He’ll be lucky to move on a free if he keeps missing sitters. 1 Quote

USABlue Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Again, pleased we won but finding myself again wondering just how we did. Find myself feeling sort of ho hum with the victory, as I have been in recent months. Can't quite out me finger on it. 1 Quote

You also don't seem to be bothered about the FA Cup. Quote
ben_the_beast Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 From the parts of the game I saw Bradley Dack looked like our best player by a country mile. Almost another full 90 for him too. 4 Quote

Much the same as how a lot of what you post is your opinion. Speaking of opinions, has yours on Hirst changed yet? 4 Quote
jim mk2 Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 That's a really nice draw in the 4th round ..... a home game against beatable opposition Let's hope Tomasson takes it seriously unlike against Forest in the league cup We're not getting promoted and a good cup run would be great for the club and the fans 4 Quote

I think it’s a sign of us over achieving. With a few new players In, I think we will see a change. Midfield is the key for me - Need some flare & pace. 1 Quote
Miller11 Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 5 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said: That your mentality of looking at Rovers. Sadly I don't Rovers as any sort long dumbing down exercise. I still continue to buy a season ticket and back Rovers every time. what is to change about my opinion? Don’t try and take some sort of superfan high ground. If you would consider us beating Southampton a giant killing, your expectations for the club you “back every time” are through the floor. It’s obvious to everyone who pays this forum any attention that the biggest U turn since your one last year on Mowbray is coming soon! Quote

He kept with that policy against West Ham and Notts Forest - we beat West Ham's strong side, but not Forest's. I have no problem with that. He's clearly treating the FA cup as a more premium competition - which it is as the prize money per round is significant. 3 Quote

Yeah. Lovely to see passing out from the back, as long as it is the opposition cocking it up, not us. Quote
