v Sheffield Wednesday (h) - 21/04/2024

[moerpho]

Despite two goals that was an awful half of football. Both teams should be ashamed people are paying good money to watch this dross. Don’t feel like it’s an important game for neither sides. Let’s hope Rovers improve somewhat in the 2nd half and get this season done with.

Absolutely nothing to beat here.

Three points and safety nailed on

Shudder.

Different era, different team , not really comparable with todays mob.

ps we might be on level terms but it’s still a poor half of football from us, which you can usually tell from the first 5 minutes what mood we are in. Can’t say it’s not a valid point 

But still football. 
 

Not necessarily aimed at you because you are normally an excellent poster but folk should probably refrain from hyperbolic posts during games. One poster was absolutely berating Rovers after 20 mins at Sunderland recently and within 5 minutes we were 2-0 up. 
 

This second half will be interesting with both teams shooting towards their own fans

The lad they brought on looks a train wreck we need to pressure him

We are so poor.

A one man team.

God help us next season when SS has gone and the sales proceeds snaffled by our owners.

 

Have to agree, for me there's a lot of players out there stealing a living whilst the magnificent SS keeps us afloat.

We'd be on about 20 points without him.

At a normal Club a huge clear out would be required in summer.

[Displaced Rover]

Two absolutely atrocious teams. Can see why we’re both down there.

Agreed, I actually thought it was him that gave the ball away for their goal.

I'm still struggling to see what everyone sees in him.

He has been poor today, but he’s been very good for the majority of the season.

Does the simple tasks but does them well.

He’ll be 2nd in the POTS awards and rightly so.

Its like local league, the ball's in the air most of the time. Our defending is terrible, feel another blunder is just round the corner, thank God we haven't been under much pressure.

[WacoRover]

Two struggling teams on display here. We’re more than capable of winning this, or giving it away. 

I’m hoping Sammie has another goal in him.

Unfair on pears that, it's all on hyam

Hyam has been so poor recently. He isn't getting the memo

Fat chance.

Absolutely stealing a living.

Offers very little.

Shudder.

Why?

Two very poor teams but Wednesday are utter dross.

Lumped on Rovers at 8/5 and also stuck £20 on 3-1 to Rovers at 10/1.

I'm never usually remotely happy with a point at home but in the context of the relegation scrap a draw wouldn't be the end of the world today. 

I hope we win but I'd take a point now.

[Upside Down]

If we lose to this lot we deserve relegation. 

[RTM08]

Looked at the goal properly and to be honest, it's a clanger from Pears as well as Hyam there. Pears' "clearance" leaves Hyam with a player either side of him - he should have booted it into the stands but didn't and then Pears is way too slow back to his line. 

Neither of them should be starting next season.

Hard to disagree on that. Anything that makes this miserable season come to an end.

Not the first time he has done this weak clearance to one of their players , just get it away man

Spot on.

Wahlstedt does that and people go into meltdown.

Pears needs replacing next season or we’ll keep seeing the same errors.

Bucko getting ready…Britain came down awkward there. Staying on

Agreed. Unfortunately they probably will. Hyam is our captain too 

Shocking 

[hollowsr]

To me Wharton is at fault also for the goal, he opts to leave it for Pears to deal with, the ball is 30yards out from goal he should be yelling to Pears to get the f back and deal with it himself

[Mercer]

IMO, Pears will cost us at least 10 goals a season and countless points.

Sadly, the shambolics of Leo make Pears look good in the eyes of the naive and gullible.

[NeilInBristol]

Oh dear. We don't need Britain getting injured now

I worked this out yesterday and removing his goals put us on (I think) 35 points.

Of course this doesn’t take into account the influence of the rest of his game.

Don't see how anyone can place any blame whatsoever on Pears for that. He makes a perfectly acceptable headed pass to Hyam who loses it.

The latter seems to be on a one man mission to send us down.
