v Norwich City (a) - 5/11/23

[Gav]

Football without fans is nothing, Sunday, 12pm kick off in East Anglia chips away at your love for the game, but on the flip side I'll wager we take an excellent following and I salute every single one of you.

Norwich 1 Rovers 3 (3 Duffy own goals and the Rovers fans come away delighted) 

[Wheelton Blue]

Our defence is on it's last legs, we're without the energy of Szmodics, and out frontline is iffy to say the least,

My heart says we'll nick something, but my head says home win.

2-0 to the Canaries.

[neophox]

Wahlstedt

Brittain, Hill, Hyam/Wharton, Pickering

Tronstad, Wharton

Moran, JRC, Sigurdsson

Dolan/Leonard 

I think we will start like this.

Fancy a tight defeat here. 2-0 norwich. A lot of heart from rovers and not a lot else

at least harry is getting in the right places,he`s just not finishing them off,sooner or later all the chances are going to go in imo,i`de be more worried if he was just bumbling about like vale used to do,he looks like a proper centre forward to me,always looking to get in front of the centre backs

Exactly. I think this year / season is giving him an opportunity. He isn't a Diaz replacement or a dack or a Rhodes but he is one of ours and he's getting a run in the side when he is fit. He will miss chances but he will learn. Glad to see him getting game time.

1-1

Duffy red card, and he slips as he runs off and fractures both legs in 3 places, after long and painful rehab he has to retire to a Vodka bottle. Sad story, couldn't happen to a bigger cnut.

It's more of a "piss and fire" thing

[philipl]

Two worst defenses matched up.

0-0 draw

That young winger Norwich has is very useful. Have to keep him quiet.

3-0 loss

[Penwortham Blue]

Hoping we get something but I just can’t see it. Whenever a club is on a poor run, we never seen to turn up and almost always get turned over.

[Butty]

Big ask for us tomorrow I feel with the players we’ve got/potentially got missing. They need a win and I feel they may get one. 2-1 Norwich. 

[DE.]

I'll be there, hoping for a repeat of last year's performance at Carrow Road.

X2 hopefully 👍

[chaddyrovers]

I wouldn't risked Szmodics if not fully fit. Saved for PNE game

my team would be

               Wahlstedt

Brittain Hill Wharton Pickering

       JRC Tronstad Wharton

Moran      Leonard     Sigurdsson 

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Not really a bogey ground we’ve won our last two at their place haven’t we?

[Mattyblue]

Head down the road to Ipswich, now that’s a proper bogey ground for us.

[NeilInBristol]

Burnley 0-2 Crystal Palace

Boos at Turf Moor. Burnley are the first ever side to lose their first six home matches in the Premier League.

Oh.... !

 

Anyway..   big game tomorrow!

It's actually 8 home games in a row, they lost their last two when relegated, not that I'm counting 🤠

I'd go with this, looks about as good as we've got at the minute.

We seem to be being backed heavily by most pundits for tomorrow, which makes me nervous.
Rovers very rarely follow logic.

I'll go with a 2-0 Rovers win.

[BigBar]

Watched 3 back to back PL games today. None of them play the way we try to. Keepers mix it up, go long, players cross the ball, win second balls. I forgot what it's like to actually put in a decent corner let alone  score from one. We never seem to score a header and if we do it's very rare. Can't think of one this season. Our approach is unique to us, try to play it out from the back no matter what and constantly get caught out. Needs to change.

Fair chance we'll get overrun in midfield unless JRC can miraculously be 2 men at the same time. No wonder he's injury prone.

And any good work the team do will be wasted in a second by Flapper in goal.

In summary, I've no confidence at all going into any game now. Sometimes we turn it on, most times we don't. Whatever the line-up.

Hard being a Rovers supporter right now.
