if there is a player id`e take delight in seeing writhing around with a broken leg it`s that scouse prik

[rob_of_the_rovers]

To be fair Tronstad is injured, Buckley is recently back from injury and staying in the league is much more important than this game 

[CD_93]

Funny how protecting the players for the relegation fight doesn't matter when we do better than expected innit 

[roverandout]

We've no chance of going down.  This was the only bright spark in our season. 

[matt83]

Those were quite some substitutions for a manager without a win to his name 

 

[RTM08]

Game over. We've been awful since the subs and literally everyone saw it coming.

[CambridgeRover]

Threw the game there Eustace

[Tom]

It’s been coming

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Quality was likely to tell in the end, and we're looking leggy having put a real shift in, still a lot to be proud of tonight.

And still fuck Venkys 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Well, we all called what would happen with those subs.  They'll get a couple more now. 

[DeeCee]

Expected after a total team change.

Here comes our saviour big Kom🙌

[Upside Down]

JE having the same issues as JDT. Namely that our squad outside of the first 11 is absolutely gash.

[WacoRover]

It was a good ride for 70' 

[BankEnd Rover]

Poor - These were there for the taking.

What do people thinks going to happen you you’re bringing on Markanday, Garrett and Ayari.

Looks like Gallagher is injured aswell…Great.

[rovers11]

We've been excellent defensively tonight aside from the goal. We look like a proper outfit again to me after becoming a soft touch under JDT. 

I feared playing our full team tonight may backfire and have implications for Saturday and the rest of the season. If Gally us out for weeks then my fears have come true. Big risk playing our full team tonight.

[RTM08]

Okay, we have limitations but swapping a CB for another when needing a goal? Literally what is the point?

[Exiled_Rover]

This referee...

Blimey, I wish I shared your confidence!

We are in a battle and it could get very tight.

[Displaced Rover]

This ref is an absolute joke

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Ref tops it off by missing a blatant hand ball and yellow.

Play like this and we'll be fine 

[CD_93]

Wtf is Gillet watching if not a player reach sky high for the ball

[Blue blood]

WWE wouldn't have a ref this bias due to plausibility issues  

[OldEwoodBlue]

Everything you need to know about Eusless & what he thinks of the cup. Saving legs. Fuck off.

Exactly. This came up in discussion this morning. 
In modern football the bench is as important as the starting eleven.
