v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23

[jim mk2]

Rovers could easily be 3 down here. And we still haven't tested their keeper this half. 

[Tom]

What a let off - Pears going back to his old form 

[bluebruce]

More likely to concede again than equalise.

[Brainfreeze]

We need to just throw everything at this now as if it's the 91st minute.

[Sparks Rover]

Wish we had Luke Freeman to bring on

[davulsukur]

Pears goes wandering.

Should have been 2 for Luton.

[roverandout]

I'm sure chaddy will say there's more Twists and Turns at full-time 

[cesus]

These lot look like world beaters compared to us by just having 2 mobile strong forwards.

Think I’ve got some Coyle-era mint imperials somewhere.  Any interest?

Make me an offer on them.  I don’t like them but the shop didn’t have any humbugs.

Anything from the Berg era?  Not in the coyle market currently.

[Inferi]

Pears lucky to not gift one. Wake up!

[Torgeir]

No response after Burnley took the lead, and no response today unfortunately. Cruise control for Luton. Pretty good first half from us but lacking that goal threat. Good effort this season, the squad just isn't good enough.

 

Time to Gregg.

I'll say it now jdt is worse than Mowbray 

He's only doing what the owners wanted of him, to stay in this league.

They don't want promotion.

Well, you could argue we've been twisting and turning downwards since January. Like a game of snakes and ladders, but with no ladders.

[G Somerset Rover]

Young group or not, this is a spineless response yet again. It is every single time. One nil against Rovers is the safest score line in football.

Put Leonard on FFS.

What's that in Latin?

 

We can change the fucking crest!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Pedestrian football when we need effort.

Shambles. The only word for this evening

Did you genuinely expect anything else? We've been here before with this lot 

[Rover_in_the_South]

Here's Callum Brittain to save the day ...😒

[Sparks Rover]

To not try young Harry is a crime

 

Oh, there's Dack...forgot he was on

We’ve under twenty minutes to save our season, but you wouldn’t know it.

We’ve focussed so much on defending and passing it around at the back that we’ve neglected the main point of football- scoring goals.

No worries though, at least it adds value to the players 🥴.

Where is the onslaught?? Absolutely bonkers this shite. 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

The death knell has just started later than usual, but it's there nevertheless. Bloody awful.

[roverandout]

If only we had a flitcroft or sherwood in midfield to give them a rocket up their arses

[RTM08]

Imagine serving this drivel again and again at the business end of the season  and then complaining that no one wants to pay over the odds for a season ticket.

JDT supporters very quiet. Is his losing them? Sincere question as opposed to goading, seems to be less and less praising him.

I’m a fan, but there’s little to praise in the last nine games. Not one for excuses but no striker and no centre mid in January leaves us stretched and without guile. 

As a run-in, chasing playoffs, it’s very disappointing. As a season on the whole, he’s done well with what he has. Some might not like it after ten years plus out of the top division, but it’s a restoration project after being left to rot for a while.

Suffice it to say, I don’t level all blame at him and I wouldn’t be pleased to see the back of him at all.
