Popular Post Paul Mani 3074 Posted October 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2020 Fantastic football that. Elliott, Arma, BB and Holtby must be frightening to play against. Douglas and Trybull are massive improvements...wait until Dack, Trav and Rothwell are back!! ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jim mk2 8287 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Shame about today, never been to Coventry, one of the fixtures I was looking forward to attending in a normal world Tuesday is a proper test. We need to beat the likes of Reading to show we're not just flat track bullies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rovers11 933 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Ben played like a £10m player today. He needs to work on his finishing but he was outstanding. Without doubt his best performance in a Rovers shirt. Harvey Elliot came to life in the second half and comes away with a goal and assist. Very impressive all round.

A great back up though nevertheless. Worried how? He walks back into this team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But why is Elliott CF and Gallagher RW? It's mad. Well they both scored so what do I know...! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And nobody expects strikers to score every week but his pen miss and good chances missed the other night were costly so he was always going to get a bit of grief. Mainly because he had a very poor game all round. Thankfully he's paid it back today. He's the new Rhodes for me. All-round game is poor, but he bags 15+ goals so he's invaluable at this level.

darrenrover 2547 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Brilliant Rovers, thoroughly enjoyed that. Big Ben looks a player, I never thought I'd say that. Holtby superb as the midfield fulcrum, almost Tuguyesque. A big thing for me is we look capable of being on the front foot for 90 minutes, hungry for more. Hopefully long gone are games where we go one in front, sit back and invite the opposition on and know what's coming. Yeh it was only Coventry and they were down to 10 early on but that was a top notch performance all round, irrespective. Made everyone's weekend who's a blue and white!

tomphil 12376 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Keegan got promotions though and had a good stab at the Prem title with his style so lets have it. The key is keep at it even when you suffer the odd pasting and keep getting players that fit it. Too many changes and swapping about for it to ever happen here i think.

Some cracking talent in this team. If we can find a way to keep the goals out against the better teams we have a chance of doing something special this season. Whisper it, but Williams should start every game he's fit at CB. A colossus back there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rovers' romp (could have been 10). Douglas and Elliott big pluses. Holtby and Brereton mega pluses. In play bet of more than 3.5 goals up (just) and 5 acca up - thanks Rovers, Blackpool, Fleetwood, Reading and Norwich. Tomorrow might be a long recovery day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he has been a total revelation. Probs now first name on team sheet which is quite an achievement really considering we were shopping him around in July/August.
