Parsonblue Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 This has to be the worse Rovers squad in 36 years Personally, I think it's the worst I've seen - at this moment in time - in 45 years. I think the start of the 1971-72 season, with the exception of Roger Jones and Allan Hunter, was probably the worst with two youth players drafted in on the opening day because they were more impressive than the so called seniors.

darrenrover Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Its the worst squad in my 50 years of attending. I dont ever recall looking forward to any season with such trepidation as I do this. It's the no Hope that really kills you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover_Shaun Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I used 36 years as a yardstick because as yet it's not a tier 3 squad.................yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Huddersfield expecting a crowd of 18,000 for their home game against Brentford on Saturday, including between 800 and 1000 away fans. Great effort from one of the 'small, unfashionable clubs' and a lesson for all us Rovers fans to learn. It can be done. We aren't destined for gates of 7-8,000 for all eternity. A chairman who understands the fanbase, who makes a bold managerial appointment, backs him with signings, speaks to the fans, comes up with sensible pricing and promotes it - the rewards being top end Championship attendances and a much better atmosphere.

Give us a normal club like they have and the fans may come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 This has to be the worse Rovers squad in 36 years did we at one point not have players like Benni mcCarthy, Roque Santa Cruz, Craig Bellamy, David Dunn, Tugay, Pedersen, Nonda, Yakubu, Salgado, Samba etc.. oh well, im getting depressed again now..

chaddyrovers Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Newcastle squad is very strong and have a top class manager. They should walk this league. Jokanovic seems to have his own mark on the Fulham squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If Newcastle don't win this league by at least 20 points then there is something seriously wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted August 5, 2016 Backroom Share Posted August 5, 2016 Very rare that any team walks this league. The lesser teams tend to drag the better ones down to their level and beat them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggy76 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Very rare that any team walks this league. The lesser teams tend to drag the better ones down to their level and beat them there. True, last time they were down was a bit of a cakewalk for the geordies though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted August 5, 2016 Backroom Share Posted August 5, 2016 Gayle top scorer has to be a shout His goalscoring record isn't as impressive as Sky Sports makes out, so I'm not convinced. If there's a season for him to establish himself, this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rigger Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Should Hanley have conceded a penalty and been sent off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted August 5, 2016 Backroom Share Posted August 5, 2016 Nope but he was relatively lucky, sloppy lunge and missed the ball but didn't touch the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Newcastle wont get promoted with Ayoze and Gayle as their strke partnership. Both make the same run, neither can hold the ball up, and both will be outmuscled by centre halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted August 5, 2016 Backroom Share Posted August 5, 2016 Oh for gods sake commentators never let a bad decision drop when it's against a fashionable team do they? Yes Newcastle should have had a penalty but this stays 0-0 if they put a man on the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
