rog of the rovers Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Still enjoying the win (has it been that long?) before the inevitable come down tomorrow/Saturday. Papered over the cracks, but for the first time this season, I've got hope we might avoid relegation. My ratings Steele - 7 - Actually made a couple of important saves. Ward in the first half, Brown in the second. Lowe - 6 - Getting better, but still looks out of position Greer - 6 - Looks composed until has to turn, or defend between the lines Hoban - 6 - Like Greer Williams - 6 - Six every week probably, hes ok, Spurr mk2 without the throw ins! Marshall - 7 - Took his goal very well, was anonymous until then. Better second half, looked effective playing with better players (Emnes) Evans - 7 - Good game, building up stamina, will need to stay fit if we're to avoid the drop Guthrie - 6 - Industrious and decent passing, could and perhaps should have dictated the tempo a little more. Nice tracking back and defending in the second half. Conway - 9 - Where would we be without him? Great goal, worked hard, good set piece delivery. Emnes - 9 - What can you say? Looked a cut above! Intelligent play, runs and decision making. Took his goal with ease, made the forwards play to his standard, best Ewood debut since Yakubu. Gallagher - 8 - Worked his socks off, should of had a hat-trick, got man of the match at the ground, although I didn't agree with that! Lenihan - 5 - Kickaball Darragh, looked weaker in the middle with him on the pitch. Wharton - 5 - Beaten at near post for the Rotherham 2nd goal, needs some time out on loan. Samuelsen - n/a - Literally played a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Agree about Wharton. Not ready yet and his heading timing is poor. He's still a good prospect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog of the rovers Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Agree about Wharton. Not ready yet and his heading timing is poor. He's still a good prospect though. Yes, absolutely. I know Scott and his family, really rooting for him to do well, I just think a loan (perhaps until Christmas) at a League Two team would do him the world of good.

Lancaster Rover Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yep, think it applies down to National League level. That Dean Cox who made a mess of leaving Leyton Orient is having to go out on loan to Nat 1 as he can't play for Crawley until January. Serves him right the greedy pillock.

only2garners Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well Saturday was the first time I've seen Rovers win a league game since 11th December 2015, ironically also against Rotherham. I was in New Zealand for 6 weeks in Feb/March when I managed to miss 7 home games, including 4 wins. Then I missed the last game of the season, the win against Reading.

If you fancy another trip to New Zealand, I will see if I can get a fund going. Four wins in seven home games, is just what the doctored ordered right now.

Cherry Blue Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 As happy as I am with the win, it was only Rotherham. Let's see if we can consistently win. Crowds reaction in the last 10 minutes was something I've not seen in a long while. Win consistently and chances are that we get that same reaction earlier in games. After all that's what we want. Well, one of the things we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it was 4 out of 6 league games - one of the seven was West Ham in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted September 21, 2016 Backroom Share Posted September 21, 2016 It would be nice to read an article that has balance. I don't know this guy, but that just reads like a collection of quotes from certain posters on here. In that sense, sure, it's a good summary of one side of the coin but doesn't address the issue in a balanced way at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Venkhater Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 "It was worse in the seventies!" I was there ...and ( as I'm sure you know) it certainly wasn't!... We believed in Bancroft, Keighley, Fox, Furphy, Lee. Smith and Kendall etc. As for the current gravy train puppets, agents, spivs, common, tasteless Indians and gangsters, well ... Just had a flashback to my nausea, when I saw Agnew in the Directors Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
