  1. You might see Chris Samba if you have a seat near the director's box, he often attends to watch academy lads he's working with.
  2. If it needs the suggestions of individual fans rather than engaging in supporter consultations (getting off his arse) then he's not earning his salary.
  3. Pointless. Imo, the outright refusal to engage with supporters en masse is why they keep getting so many decisions wrong re: what fans actually want from the matchday experience.
  4. Got 69% but SO annoyed by those I missed (I knew them all apart from Anthony Dobson. Who the fuck?)
  5. Agreed, but given that wing backs tend to prioritise attacking over defending, if the manager can figure out a way to make defending easier for them without nullifying their attacking potential, surely he should? If they were playing a more traditional full back role, I'd definitely agree.
  6. I was hugely sceptical (angry, actually) about the wing backs being played on the 'wrong sides', but have to give credit to JDT. It took me about 20mins, but I figured out that it perfectly nullified Mowbray's tendency to play inverted wingers. Show the inverted winger towards their byline and they can't cross it properly, but if they DO manage to cut in they still have our back 3 to deal with.
  7. What actually happened with the ballboy? LOVED that Garrett tackle πŸ˜„
  8. Another great save, that was dipping in
  9. Y'know what'd be really refreshing? If JDT came out and instead of the usual 'I'd need to look at it again' bollocks, said 'Actually I think they should've had a penalty and we got away with it in that way. But that is football and that's how it goes sometimes.'
  10. Great goal. Should've been a penalty though imo
  11. Feel like we'll be going in 1-0 at the break but don't ask me which way it'll be.
  12. I only know what a Blackberry is because of a passing mention in The Thick Of It.
  13. We had that image so often in the last 5 years.
  14. Polite applause if he claps us. A bit like the oppo goalkeeper. Otherwise, meh.
  15. Imo, 3 at the back with wing backs is our way forward, as it's given us our best performances this season. How it is supported by midfield and forwards should be what we vary, but the defence should remain imo. Incidentally, 3 at the back is what Mowbray kept trying but could never get right, so I do actually view this as a positive point for JDT.
  16. RIP Hagrid 😞
  17. WLWLWL etc isn't bad form. It's better than average form as it includes no draws and likely places us 8th-10th. That with a squad that seemed to fall through a trapdoor February onwards.
  18. Jonny Stead had my favourite 6 months of any Rovers player ever. His impact undoubtedly saved us from relegation in Souey's final full season. There first player that demonstrated to me the difference between class and form, but I'll be forever grateful for his contribution πŸ™‚
  19. Looking to expand our collection after playing Ticket to Ride. Secret Hitler looks good πŸ˜…
  20. I justified it by saying he was passing to where his teammates SHOULD have been πŸ˜…
  21. I'm we've become a wall of silence. Feels more professional somehow.
  22. Anyone play board games regularly?
