v West Bromwich Albion (H) - 05/08/2023

[1864roverite]

Some of you have misperception on my view of SW, for clarity there isn’t nor has there never been any sort of relationship, he isn’t my friend, he isn’t a confidante all he is is the CEO of the club who I have spoken with and exchanged views with. Unless you know me then you have absolutely not a fucking clue as to my view of him or our club owners!

3-0 Leonard hat-trick. Going to kick on and score 45 goals this year as we win the league by 25 points.

That's the spirit.

I'll got for a 1 - 1 draw. Szmodics to bag for Rovers. Think we will go 1 up but WBA will come back strong in 2nd half and grab the equaliser.

0-4 all the problems come home to roost just like they did when Norwich battered us first game of the season a few years ago.

The changes have to start now, Waggot out, Venkys leave and let people with business sense run the club

I think it was the relegation season ....

This could be another!

Or it could just as easily be a promotion season.

Based on what? No decent keeper.  0 forwards.  Bang average wide players.  Our only saving graces is the centrebacks and Adam Wharton

I will wait at least until we have played one game, before I make a judgement. At the moment we still have the best keeper in the league, Probably the best central defenders and midfield. I agree our attack looks weak, but I will put up with that.

Are you a glass half full or a glass half empty kind of person? I'm a Rovers fan....

But kaminski looks to be on his way out. I would have faith if jdt was backed

A glass is always full, unless it is in a vacuum.

Wise advice.

Always judge when the window closes, otherwise you leave yourself open to looking a bit foolish.

[roversfan99]

Final judgements at the end, but why can't we judge along the way?

@roverandout even said "if."

Exactly.  At the end of the window it will be too late if we haven't made the right signings

Being a Rovers fan requires you to drive the broken shards of glass into your face repeatedly.

I think it will be a tough game this weekend, despite their troubles WBA have a good squad with some very good  players, Corberan, who did an excellent job at Huddersfield, has had a preseason with them now (ignoring poor friendly results) and so it may be that they actually go on to have a really good season.  It’s a big test for him and will really show how good a manager he really is.  Still always hope for the beginning of the season so fingers crossed for a Rovers win

I cant ignore our history on opening day the last decade or so, but, I can’t pick against us, at our place. 

I am an opening day optimist. It was 104 degrees here in Texas today, Ewood will be on fire Saturday,  

2-0!

Sounds like you may need to seek medical attention

It will still be available in some countries though.

I am usually in Spain, but can nip of somewhere very pretty niftily, if it isn't available in Spain.

The annual subscription is good value at £140 if we can get the full 46 game though.

Just another day following this club.

Very touchy is 1864.  😁

Hopefully learnt a lesson before playing the big man on here in future.

Be prepared for lots of added on time.  On Saturday when the 3 minutes was put up in the first half JDT spoke to 4th official then came back and told the rest of the coaches with the new rules next week that would be 7 minutes

Given our propensity for conceding late goals, our nerves are going to be in even greater shreds this season!
