v Millwall (a) - Monday 8th May

[Hasta]

Thanks Gregg. Great job in January. Cheers pal.

[rovers11]

Bullied all over the pitch. There's no steel in this team.

As others have said, Pickering, Travis, Thomas, Diaz, Hedges, Pears all need replacing.

Absolutely,  I said we should have bought him when boro were getting rid.....few in here like Chaddy said he was shit 

He's got a track record of injuries.

[R0verb0y]

And then you see the devilish cunning of Waggott; get all the money in before they implode in the last game of the season.

[CambridgeRover]

I despise Travis

Fuck off out the club

I still think he is the better keeper for the style he wants to play. Two other goals are not his fault.

What style though? Kamikaze keystone cops sideways fuddy duddy style?

If that was Travis who bottled out of the challenge leading up to their second, he should be sacked at HT.

Well that's a soft yellow card in their third if he makes that challenge (and then completely neuters him for the rest of the match) - I'm not Travis' biggest fan, but that goal isn't on him.

Not many thinking Pickering was an upgrade on Amari Bell now I'll wager.

[cesus]

These players were hung out to dry in January. There are 4/5 players in that starting line up who in their hearts of hearts know they should be dropped but also know there is nobody else. That is the underlying factor, they needed help. We all already knew they had a past of bottling it!!

Players get stale at clubs, I sense thus happened at boro.  Always been  a quality player.  Looks fit enough to me.

Which alternative players would you be selecting then? Just look at that bench today its either unfit players or more kids.

Didn't you get the memo? After several seasons, Mowbray's shit players will become superstars and a team without a centre forward will win the league. Waggott, Gregg and Venkys to wow us all with class signings of course.

Just change the manager ffs! It's that easy!

Not just the last month. Since Jan it's been atrocious.  But wait it's a 'transition year " and we have a " young squad " so give him time.. 

Carry this suicidal form into next season and its relegation. No wins in 10 attempts now! Jdt can just get lost. This team has the backbone of a jellyfish.

Really decent guy as well

Blatant diver from the look of this game - thrown himself to the floor several times already.

Have to say Villarreal have really fucked it get Diaz, back to the Brereton of 2 seasons ago and has been like that since November.

Difference is they took that ‘gamble’ for free…..we paid £8m or something for the privilege!

think i`ll put pne on and laugh at moggasaurous and his gurning

Chickening out of a challenge in the crucial final game is on him though.....as someone said, a sackable offence.

[imy9]

Three changes at half time. 
 

come on Rovers- 45 huge mins

[Nuttall is lost]

28 years ago on Monday 8th May we were beating Newcastle on the way to the title because 'we've got bottle'.

Monday 8th May 2023 ''We've no bottle'

Hearing Keith Andrews say what players should be doing makes me want to punch the screen. The worst player I've ever seen in a blue and white shirt, and that's saying something whilst watching this display.

It was. If he doesn't pussy out of a challenge when he fucked up in the first place.  Then u stop the attack at source

but it's OK cos we're brave in possession

Very brave in possession in our own half. Cowardly in possession in theirs.

[des]

I will say more after the game, however at the end of the day it's down to the players we have to stand up and be counted the work off the ball is just do bad that why we play it backwards or side to side there are no options aoart from Adams for them to play to. But will wait till after the match we might make a great comeback some how I think not but who knows lol

Play your best keeper? That stops one of them at least, for the first it’s a direct result of the instruction to play out from the back as well 

Again, Carter felt the pressure and put the ball out for a throw-in so the defence could regroup. 

If you can't defend a throw-in that's a massive problem - nothing to do with playing the ball out of the box. 

[G Somerset Rover]

He’s far from on his own today, but there better not be any eulogies from the club with Brereton when he leaves. He’s been a disgrace since the turn of the year.
