TheRoversReturn 397 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Two teams which are being dragged down by crap managers. Two squads with far more potential than they've shown this season. Rovers players' downed tools months ago as can be seen by their awful form. They'll turn up and do the basics but that's it. They really don't seem to give too much of a shit, they've been Mowbrayed and are totally unmotivated. Woodgate was a ridiculous appointment, but they retain some talented players. Prediction: Perhaps a 1-1 (Bournemouth goal from a set piece), with the joyful reappearance of some of the Mowbray sycophants on Facebook and the LET, telling all and sundry that he's still got the dressing room behind him, which somehow one league win in 14 illustrates. If you had the chance, who'd end the season right now so we could all have a break from this shambles of a club/manager/team that we've become under Venky's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Hoochie Bloochie Mama 6185 Posted April 4 Popular Post Share Posted April 4 Matt Damon, in his least challenging role yet, plays beleaguered soccer manager Tony Mowbray as he sleeps for 90 minutes in a dug out whilst his team get dicked yet again. The Bournemouth Supremacy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lraC 1080 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 0-1 this one, then on to Cardiff and a similar score. That could perhaps jolt the manager into accepting, we are in a relegation battle, despite his platitudes on the latest LT story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoochie Bloochie Mama 6185 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 What was the story with Andy Crawford? I know he ended up at 4th Div B'mouth after us but why did he want to leave, only to end up there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joey_big_nose 3149 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Literally amazed Mowbray is still here. There were quite a few saying he was unsackable but I put that down to hyperbole. Really looks like he is. The way Bournemouth play might help us. They are pretty open and likely to play 4 at the back. Given that we might look half decent and scrape a draw.

chaddyrovers 6287 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 my team Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Harwood-Bellis Douglas Dolan Buckley Travis Rothwell Gallagher Armstrong/McBride If Armstrong is fit and ready to start then I would start him, if not I would play McBride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JHRover 13051 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Don't think Armstrong will feature. There's more to that situation than meets the eye IMO. I think a score draw here. A win wouldn't surprise me. Sooner or later it will come even by fluke more than design. Bournemouth will play and that will suit our 'style'. Not that the result really makes any difference as Mowbray is secure either way but it would be nice to get to 50 points sooner rather than later. Only one thing worse than horrendous form and it is knowing that the manager and staff delivering it are unaccountable for it. A disgraceful way to run a club Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wegerleswiggle 937 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I would be giving Dan Pike a start and have Sam Burns in the squad too. No need to play Armstrong again this season. I'm not buying in to the injury that he supposedly has. I think he is being protected for a summer sale.

darrenrover 3158 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Bournemouth, Watford, Brentford, Barnsley and the dingles, all higher in the pecking order than The Pride of Lancashire....after an investment over 10 years approaching £200 million, what could possibly have gone wrong? WE ARE The Rovers!!! COYB!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is a ridiculous statement from Mowbray. Given our recent form we will be lucky to win one game out of 7. We may still have enough points and positive goal difference to survive but it will be close if Rotherham win some of their games in hand. I bet they don’t lose to Wycombe tomorrow! I don’t want to bash Mowbray but he has to face up to it that his project has failed and he doesn’t seem to be as concerned as the fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
