Bah

Everything falling out way, just need to take care of business

Let’s go, lads...!

Kudos to Mowbray. We will see if the same 11 get the same result.

Bilić shows what can happen when you get a top-drawer manager. Whenever Rovers make a change, imitate our own history. When Rovers had success, no pussyfooting around, it was because of strong managers (Dalglish, Souness, Hughes).

I expect to see the same team. impossible to predict the outcome, so I won’t even try. Eliminate errors, on the pitch & the touchline, improve finishing, It gives us a chance to win. That is all.

Re: Wharton, and it’s the last I will say about him... Guys can only get better with experience. He’s been good enough at the lower leagues, and he can play the position. Even Kane & Vardy played on loanout at places like Leyton Orient & Fleetwood. Ian Rush started at Chester City. Not saying Wharton is their equal; just saying that’s how players improve, by getting playing time. Wharton is still just 22, with 80 games under his belt. He probably will not ever be a star at a high level; At least he’s not wasting his time on the bench. He has two appearances in a Rovers shirt. Give him a runout and see what happens. He’s definitely more valuable to the future of Rovers football than Bennett.

Meanwhile, Boro playing like world beaters under warnock, made it look easy today. WBA beating the fightin Rooney’s 1-0 already... there’s an opening for Rovers!

Youth are characterized by extremes, both good & bad. I take Rankin-Costello, I think he will be a solid player for us. I asked the same thing about Wharton, he’s helped 3 teams to promotion. Hard worker, & surely, a winning attitude.

Unfortunately, I could easily see us selling Nyambe to a PL side; there are former Rovers defenders all over PL- Dann, Hanley, & Duffy.

We have the same number of wins as last season. Now, we need a tie to equal last seasons wins & ties. That would not be progress, but I’m guessing it will be spun that way if/when it happens.

Agreed; no need to toy with a winning 11.

I’m just glad to celebrate a win. Wonderful win by Rovers.

I admit it, I was fed up. At HT i went outside to work on my yard, come back on, it’s 2-3. I need to get fed up more often, ha.

So, we’re winning possession at HT, is that the first thing TM says in the dressing room?

No surprise why he’s scored 51 goals for Rovers. What a scorer

So glad he scored, & justified being in the 11 today... 2nd time all year he’s started

YES!

Ballgame. We miss, they score.

Meanwhile, Dann’s header hits post at 94’ too bad...

No Bennett or SG. We will see...

It’s pretty much consensus Mowbray should field a younger team today. I think I will scream if Bennett or Gallagher start. A young keeper will be abused by ‘birds, but really, will Walton do any better?

Why not? The Telegraph said today the playoffs are out of reach, I do not disagree with that statement. This looks daring, and ambitious. I like it.

Last season, Rovers record was 16-12-18, good for 15th on the table. If we go 1-1-3 the rest of the way, we will equal that. Tony should play the youth. I don’t think they can possibly have a negative impact on our final record.

My predictive powers haven’t been any good, so I will not predict a Rovers win this time. hopefully, our players can just be competitive, play with discipline, and finish a goal (if we get close to one).
