Popular Post Andy Posted August 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Really pleasing first half. It’s not always about flowing football and dominating teams - to be successful you have to be tactically savvy and alter your approach for the situation. Big credit to Hedges (2 assists in 2 games for him), he makes that goal, well finished also. Back four look solid, let’s hope same again in the second half.

I see Rothwell is already a sick note for Bournemouth at the start of the season as well. Onwards and upwards with this team and manager! Darragh and his new pals have conceded 3 at QPR in 45 mins. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we look comfortable and organised. Ayala on his deck chair. Agreed. Let them piss about playing in front of our entire team as much as they like. I’m really liking Hedges’ awareness, he sees what’s going on around him, you can’t coach that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBar Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great to be in front. Hedges done well in the end but you'd like to see him go on and tuck it away himself. Happy days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt Seavers Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very early days of course but we don't look leaky at the back so far this season. We must be channelling our inner Howard Kendal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really liking Hedges’ awareness, he sees what’s going on around him, you can’t coach that. I love seeing their GK (Fisher, a Rovers Academy graduate) acting like he's Edison. That's going to result in 5+ goals over the course of the season for the opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it's as even as last year and that most teams have a chance of the play-offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must be channelling our inner Howard Kendal. Ayala is genuinely a PL quality CB, he holds everything together at the back. He was my MOTM against QPR and he's playing exceptionally well today too. You just don't get enough games out of him. Lenihan asking for parity with him is laughable. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyJimmy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Swansea targeting out of left field diagonal balls at our left back. Pretty consistent so obviously a tactic. Must have Pickering down as a weak point. We're letting Swansea have the ball up to the half way line then we're biting them. Solid two rows of 4 behind the ball. Look strong so far but it only takes one good through ball. BBD getting lumps kicked out of him. Need more of that intensity that JDT talks about in the 2nd half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandwhitemike Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great to be ahead but could still go either way this one, they have some good players and Manning has out a couple of cracking balls in, if they’d been better they’d have finished one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moerpho Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Why is Gallagher such a favourite with managers? Reminds of Lowe. Surely we have better alternatives on the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
