  1. All the contenders are bottlers based on tonight's results.
  2. The injuries are hugely important for this game now. Too early for Ayala, possibly Dack. How bad is Pickering? Edun out with concussion protocol. From tonight Gally is certainly out. Big questions over Hyam and JRC. Then there could be other problems when the medics check the players over.
  3. Not totally clear but watched it often enough now to be pretty certain that as the corner ball drops it hits the back of his fist, not his thigh
  4. Table is crazy. 3 points cover 5th to 11th. Watford and Swansea in 12th and 13th are only 5 points behind us. Rovers comfortably dominated most of that game. I have confidence in JDT setting us up right for PNE but really worry about the injury situation. It is hard to legislate when Dolan comes on and is a complete liability for his 10 minutes- won nothing and gave it away every time he had possession. Adam Wharton- what a gem of a player.
  5. I am tak8ng solace/hope from the fact that when Rovers have really turned up so far this season, there is only one game we haven't won and that was Sheffield United away in the Cup and we all know it took a 25 yard extreme top corner blast to knock us out. We have even won a few when we have been less than standard we should have been. We can expect every one of our remaining games to be against clubs wanting and trying to win which usually helps us provided we don't let one in first .... Not optimistic but not without hope.
  6. We will be extremely fortunate tonight if any of Millwall, Sunderland and West Brom fail to get 3 points. Probably kicking off in 8th tomorrow with the prospect of dropping to 10th if we don't win.
  7. This screams preparation for life in the Championship which is sensible. I would imagine he will be "Joined" by a Director of Recruitment if we make it to the Premier League depending on how he performs. At least his heart is in Rovers which is a very important consideration. Incidentally there was a fascinating article about how Arsenal found Martinelli and Sako- in the Mirror I think.
  8. Interesting to see 538 have Coventry pipping us to 6th and 6th place getting there with 68 points If we don't get to 68, we certainly don't deserve the play-offs!
  9. Man U 2 points and one place above us with a much worse gd lost to bottom club Leicester and had a player sent off.
  10. I like Dolan and he has undoubtedly improved a lot this season. But that miss against Hull. I hope it doesn't join MGP's header against Chelsea in the horror moment Rovers memories
  11. He gets the ball, scores a goal, Andy Andy Cole. If he can impart that to Gally, the man is also a wizzard!
  12. If we turn up and play like we can, we will win. If we don't turn up like we don't in at least half our matches, it will be something between a stomach churning nervous 90 minutes and a humiliation.
  13. Sheffield United really did the dirty on this one and haven't been punished sufficiently. They gazumped us by a huge margin using the money they should have paid to Liverpool.
  14. We like making life difficult for ourselves don't we? That Dolan miss Tyler Morton, you have pretensions to being a Liverpool player but tonight you were way off that level. Leonard got into more goal scoring positions in 10 minutes than Gally did in 80. Ben oh dear.
  15. Very worried we have gone back to a midfield 2 against a team which has drawn 3 and won 1 away from home since they started playing 4-4-2 away. We could well see all our weaknesses exposed if we don't start fast tonight. Usually the first 3 minutes tell us whether we are in for a romp or turgid hell.
  16. From reports I read, the ref bottled giving two red cards to Spurs. Great win, still think we are more than likely to go down judging from the remaining fixtures of clubs below us but we have given ourself a chance. Palace away on 1st May is on the same day as Luton home but City on the 23rd might give us a chance to slot 5 first team subs in as over age players...
  17. Sure the appointments of Steve Kean and JDT are indistinguishable from one another?
  18. The visit to Millwall is a do or die game for PNE. Lose and they are considerable oursiders for top 6. Win and they displace Millwall as the "what are they doing there?" club in possession of a top 6 place.
  19. The disadvantage of remote unlocking, push button starters and automatic transmission... Thankfully he didn't hurt or kill anybody.
  20. You must be very young and have no memory of Steve Kean.
  21. Norwich not going above us tonight 4-1 down to Boro in the River
  22. Absolutely not re Jerome. He is not an owner of Rovers and the up tick in Venkys performance as owners might coincide with him no longer advising. His current predicament incidentally might be poetic justice but not a fate I would wish on anyone, even him.
