Cos he didn’t touch the guy who went down when clean through. He clipped his own heels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Andrew Proctor the Rovers physio who told you this? No modern keepers don't come for the ball and that include some of the best keepers out there. No not Andrew, don’t really want to mention names, but believe Dolan had slight injury in training, we seem to have more injuries than the normal. Hopefully fit for Blackpool along with Lenihan but probably without Nyambe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasta Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Wonder which one of our out of contract will end up at Burnley on a free? Edited April 3, 2022 by Hasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is (and has been for 3 years) is that stubborn Mowbray gets to pick the starting XI. 2nd half adjustments are down to pressure from thousands. His "tactics" are an embarrassment to all professional football managers. We haven't scored a goal with a foot for THIRTEEN games. 6 games till he leaves 🤞 3 hours ago, AllRoverAsia said: In the 6 mins of the 2nd half extra time Rothwell went down for about 1 minute and the Nyambe injury plus the fan on field at that time took up over 2 minutes so a total of 9 extra was actually accurate. Maybe, but Rothwell went down in the 89th minute and the referee gestured to the 4th official (lifting his arm up) - to raise the time from 5 to 6 minutes. So that was alloted for. To play 9 was Fergie-time level of BS. Considering we only took the lead in the 83rd minute, to somehow find 9 minutes of time wasting in 7 minutes of football, is quite impressive. We absolutely over did the shithousing, but that referee would have played 15 minutes until Coventry scored if needed. Fact is we have little hope of surviving any type of onslaught by teams. Van Hecke could (should) have walked in the first 10 minutes, but the referee was full Sky Blue in the 2nd. We may have been shithousing, but they were left with little choice. 4 hours ago, rigger said: There are not many people who know, what goes on in Mowbrays head.

yankfan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Still can’t believe Gallagher got the start after whiffing on last weeks sitter. How can any player feel performances matter when seeing a player rewarded for continued inefficiency? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can any player feel performances matter when seeing a player rewarded for continued inefficiency? We all know why Gallagher is getting into the team, and I imagine his team mates do as well. All about the amount he was bought for and likely what he's being paid in wages, nothing to do with his ability as he really doesn't have much of that. £5m for a footballer that cannot properly control a ball from a simple pass. And we gave him a new contract. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Is it that simple and that cynical? We arent awash with attacking players, plus Mowbray seems to rate him more than anyone else, I think thats why hes selected so much. He wasnt selected at home to Derby even with a lack of alternatives. Brereton didnt always play for 2 years despite his price tag and Gallagher was only a sub a number of times earlier this season.

Yes, Gallagher was a massive mistake which TM is hoping one day will turn good. And the only way that will happen is with game time. If another manager comes in, barring a massive change in form, he'll be lucky to get on the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are times when he isnt selected, including 3 games ago and for much of our late 2021 run. It seems a more logical explanation that we dont have an infinite number of attacking players, especially with unavailability issues, and that Mowbray has an inflated worth of how good Gallagher actually is, so he plays quite often. Not that he picks him nearly 3 years in to justify a fee paid in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I've just finished watching the first half. No way were we as bad as the first half against Derby. Why JRC, Pickering, Buckley, Rothwell and Gallagher are singled out for vitriol is beyond me. Manager's set up was disgraceful and every time a good cross was put into the box there was no-one there. Travis was best player of the 45. It's obvious that the management team are not picking the right players in the right positions. They aren't enthusing the team before kick-off. The training methods must be poor. Set pieces are absent in every game. We have endured 5 years of this. It really is time for a change. To recap..........I don't blame the players. They must be as sick of mis-management as I am. Tomorrow I'll watch the second half. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I hope behind the scenes he is telling the manager to play player in their correct places and play the forwards that are available. You can have as many fans as you want making as much racket as possible but if it isn't right on the pitch it makes zero difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martonrover Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The last ten game form table has us in 21st position. With that context in mind, a player asking for the fans to rise to the occasion is, to say the least, a bit rich. Just get behind the lads FFS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
