Should have scored more. Cardiff were really limited in their opportunities. I know quite a few folk are jumping off the deep end at the minute, but apart from the absolute travesty at Preston and getting beat by a Burnley side who are the best team in the league, generally we are defending very well and picking up wins hence our league position over half a season in. I'll have a pint of what you're on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. E Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The good thing is we have some great young talent in the team, Garrett and Adam can be special. Hopefully Dolan is back soon, he is very much included. The less than good news is we are getting overburdened with injuries, and some replacements, like Edun today, are woefully below standards. At least track the opposition, what else are you there for? Brereton has done his best the last few games to fly under the radar and not get noticed by clubs - so I really hope he signs a contract. What otherwise is his plan, to sit on a bench of a Prem team, lose all confidence and waste his career away? I really hope GB is given some funds for January, and more importantly that he uses them wisely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post J*B Posted January 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 Ground out a gritty 1-0 win on a dreadful pitch to stop a losing run. It wasn’t classy but it did the job. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossydave Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 If you look at their recent form grinding out 0-0 draws its no wonder it wasn't a spectacle. The defence was superb today and I was never worried about conceding, perhaps also indicative of how shite Cardiff where too. No idea who a large proportion of their players even were, it was like they were bringing random GTA characters off their bench. Dack showed glimpses again, he's getting there. Some of his passing was poor though. Gallagher was really poor just passing it back to their players for the most part. Everyone else had a decent game really IMO. Hope JRC ain't badly injured after seemingly sorting himself out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllRoverAsia Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) A win. I'll take that all day long. Don't really care about the look, tactics or style, just the win. Anyway it's Smith v Bunting soon, the Billy Bunter brothers battling it out. Great result Rovers!

Backroom Silas Posted January 1, 2023 Backroom Share Posted January 1, 2023 Thought Garrett, Hyam, Hedges and Dack were all excellent today. Both in effort levels and what they did. If those 4 can continue like that, and the likes of Diaz can get back on form, we'll be looking good again. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 A win is a win but feck me that was so unconvincing against a p1ss poor side. Better from Garrett and good to see Dack get 90 minutes under his belt - hopefully, he can kick on from here. Hedges a bit of a Tony Parkes type player - you don't half miss him when he ain't there. Still think JDT is not for us. We are in the main boring and uninspiring. Only consolation of an early kick off and Rovers'win is I don't feel guilty about uncorking an early red.

Staffordshire Rover Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Buzzing with that win, not the greatest performance but it’s a win. Garrett, Dack and Hyam were the standouts for me. How poor were the officials again! Also glad we never signed Kipre, he is a liability 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We MUST add players. No way we can maintain the playoff place with all our injuries, and not adding a couple of players, particularly, in midfield. It’s not just injuries, we seriously need upgrades. Wishing we had a decent bench, too. Edited January 1, 2023 by WacoRover 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did in summer to be fair To the tune of around £6.5m. However most of it went on Szmodics, Hirst and a RB who has barely featured. The recruitment needs to be far better this month. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuck does Gallagher play every minute of every game unless injured? He doesn't have a single redeeming quality, at least Chris Brown used to attempt to put himself about physically, Gallagher doesn't even do that. Thought Garrett did well, game to forget, three points, move on. Gallagher plays because the team's record when he starts is better than when he doesn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesus Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 You can only take satisfaction from any win, it was a tough watch though. Hyam and Dack were massive positives. Diaz really does seem to be slowly morphing back into Brereton, the offside run in the first half was criminal with how good Dack's through ball was. Buckleys red seemed to be justified by the majority the other day, I'm struggling to think that anybody could justify their chap not getting one today for a hip high studs up challenge. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankEnd Rover Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) We all know JDT has a lot to learn but what separates him from his predecessor is players will be dropped no matter what status they have. Travis not coming into today really shocked me, although he’s been poor, thought he would have got the nod… To get a young Garrett start ahead of you must be a sucker punch. It was the right choice because he had a good game! We just need A Wharton to come back in. Feel he will get his chance again, along with Makanday @ Norwich.

Sweaty Gussets Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 3rd in the league on merit with 20 games to go. Win half of those and we're probably in the Play-Off's. Great position to be in. Let's hope we don't fuck it up like last season. I have more faith in JDT then Mowbray. Mowbray proved time and again his team's cracked when the pressure was on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
