[Archived] Brighton Away 22Nd August

[skous18]

so our defence is @#/?

we are lacking creativity in the middle

we cannot score for @#/?

our keepers are doing silly mistakes every now and then

and our manager is a loser

[RevidgeBlue]

It's like a cruel parody.

Only one attacking option on the bench. Far too negative. The two that fell ill were defensive type players as well so cant use that as an excuse either.

[Mike Graham]

IT IS ONLY THE EARLY PART OF THE SEASON.

THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT WEEK.

WE CANNOT GET ANY WORSE.

THE PIES WILL ARRIVE ON TIME.

GARY WILL GET THEM BACK ON THEIR WINNING WAYS.

WE WILL GIVE BURNLEE AND PKE A ROYAL SCREWING OVER.

SHEBBY IS COMING BACK.

LIFE IS A BALL.

WE WILL GET PROMOTED.

Find me a hospital quick.

[Feniscowles Blue]

The report should be interesting .

[McClarky]

How come we're a man short

on the bench?

[Neal]

I asked this question a few days ago but are people STILL willing to bite their tongue for this fella? Has to go.

Betfair odds on championship relegation:

Fulham 1/100

Rovers 1/14

preston 1/12

[patrickvalery]

Is it any wonder really. The entire spine of the side is new except the Hanley / Duffy partnership which never got going anyway. New keeper, new central midfield, new striking partnerships and even a new formation. It will take time to gel. But I'll admit things don't look at all rosy at present. If the rot sets in it takes a very good manager to turn it all around. That or a new one. Not good times.

[Mike Graham]

and GAV WILL GROW UP

[Don Said]

Dross. Carry on as we are and we'll go down, we won't be able to scrap our way out of a relegation battle. A 60 min presentation on my left arse cheek would inspire the players more than our manager.

Go a goal behind against Bolton on Friday (conceded first in all 5 games this season..) and it'll be ugly towards Gazzy.

Bowyer Out.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Just Two points from Twelve....Relegation form and this whole situation at the club is hard to swallow for me,very depressing.

We just keep bumbling on....

[adopted scouser]

Bowyer out, right out. Out further than anyone's been out before.

[Damien]

Absolutely shocking! GB OUT!

[Tom]

Full time 4 games in, 2 point and in the bottom 3 and a home loss to a league one side in the mix as well

So many poor choices today; whoever is to blame for only taking 18 players down wants sacking immediately.

Resorting to bringing on a defender for an attacking mid then sticking the big lad up top if mms what I would expect from under 12s. Bizarre.

[perthblue02]

A few comments today on RR commentary about the confusion on where players are supposed to be playing, players not shooting longish range (perhaps they have been told not to) and general confusion about tactics

[ABBEY]

TIME TO GO !!!!!!!!!!

[Damien]

His tactics are dreadful! We lack direction and hope!

[G Somerset Rover]

Absolutely pathetic. He has to go. Maybe a loss to Bolton at home in front of the cameras will finally turn the rest of the nay-sayers round.

[Mr. E]

The name "Bowyer" is making me ill at this point, can he please go back to coaching kids and stop embarrassing the football pitch with his presence.

[adopted scouser]

563 rovers fans.

562, SteB counts as two

[DE.]

If Jordan Rhodes is sold we're down. No question in my mind.

If he stays and manages to keep fit we may scrape survival as there are a lot of poor teams in this division, but it'll be close, and things will only get worse as long as Venky's are here and the Shelfy/Bowyer combo is at the helm.

[grizfoot]

Is it too early to say next Friday's game against Notlob is now a relegation "six-pointer"?

Bowyer Out.

Exactly, we're not equipped to get out of a relegation battle.

I think we'll end up with a draw against Bolton and a draw against Fulham. 4 points from a possible 18.

Then we've got QPR away, can't see us winning that, either. Charlton at home, well, not there, either.

Unless the manager goes, it's the 'R' word methinks. The signs are there.

[G Somerset Rover]

Not at all. I alluded to as much at the start of this thread. Huge game. Lose and we're goosed.

[Mercer]

Hope Parsonblue and the band of Rovers Fans are still happy with the stability and progress Gaz has brought.

FFS, our club is dying and Bowyer is hastening our death.
