joey_big_nose Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This match is pretty much why I'm confident on us making playoffs, we haven't been fabulous but solid, yet the oppo generate so few chances and we make a lot. It's been the same every game since Fulham, even Hull last week (until the subs ruined the formation and everything went to sh*t). New just need to make something of the opportunities we create. Should have got at least one from this half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Edun needs to wake up defensively. Nearly gave them a clear run on goal before, and that should've been a pen. Suspect this is our 'good half' so it's a bit concerning we haven't notched. Shame BBD and Markanday are out, all we have lacked is that edge in and near the box.

That said obvious weak point. Sure Edun will feature quite extensively in the Wilder team talk. If I was wilder I'd tell the team to sit back and just ping it wide right to Jones all half. Don't think it's his style though so hopefully theyll keep passing it around and letting us break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreams of 1995 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The way Buckley glides over the grass is majestic. He just needs to find the weight of that final ball more. Excellent player Been good all round. I’d take Gallagher off for Butterworth, but then again he does add an extra aerial presence. If Johnson is to go off for Davenport I’d keep Gallagher on purely for his height. I would sub Nyambe too. Don’t want another sending off and he has that in him.

SuperBrfc Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 We're lucky there's no VAR in this division. Boro should have had a penalty there. Solid display from us so far, though. I'm happy to see us snapping into Boro and not giving them much time on the ball. If we can get that final ball right the 3 points are there for the taking.

Definitely not in this game and probably not in the last few. Those changes should have been made before the kickoff, but as usual it doesn’t happen until 60 mins of the wrong players doing fuck all Edited January 24, 2022 by Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDom Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If we win it'll be a 1-0 goal from a CB at a corner or free kick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commondore Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 We're the better side here, just needs to get more runs in behind their defense. They're not responding well to Rovers high pressing, keep it up. Would like to see Butterworth on for either Travis or Johnson, move Buckley back into midfield (where he seems to be playing anyway). Edun is having a nightmare though, caught on his heels several times in addition to being positionally off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicalmortensleftpeg Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Can’t complain about that. Edun is a concern and Gallagher is unconvincing at best but we look very hard to break down. Buckley is running the game. Would still take a point right now but feeling slightly more confident we could nick it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophox Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Buckley has been best player with the defence. You can see why Khadra is not a premier League player yet. The final ball must be better second half. We can still win it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. E Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Frustrating half. As others have said, Buckley showing class, but quality missing up front big time. Gally is huffing and puffing, I respect that, but just isn't providing much quality at all. We are solid at the back, except for Edun who seems really out of place. We are stretched thin so not many options on the bench...a bit worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky have hated us for a long time. I mention it in here more than I probably should but they once played a little montage of all the Premier League winning teams and their great moments in winning the league (Arsenal invincibles, Leicester surprise win, Man City's Aguero moment) Only PL winning team not to feature at all? Rovers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booth Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If we get anything from this it'll be interesting to see what Sky make of that penalty shout. Against Hull we were absolutely robbed of refereeing decisions including a penalty, yet they said Hull were worthy winners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
