yellowsubmarine Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 We are on form with Sammi top of the goal scoring table. Wednesday are at the bottom with just one win. We are consistently inconsistent. 2-1 Wed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllRoverAsia Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 SW get a draw at home v Leicester and suddenly they are to be feared? Their equaliser in that game came from a Buckley hopeful high punt nodded on by a porky bloke with grey hair and a beer gut to someone who Leicester forgot was on the pitch who scored unchecked. They are bottom for a reason and we are good away. Even if we are shit on the day a draw will be a disappointment. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, bought the tee shirt etc etc. Games are only easy when you’ve made them easy. No game is easy at 3-00 pm on Saturday afternoon. Take these lightly and we’ll come unstuck.

It's the Championship and on any given day any team can beat another and under previous managers I might have been more cautious but I have total faith in Tomasson to prepare the players and have them in the right frame of mind. Here's hoping 😂😂. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After two low key, middle of the table games, we go into this game with the expectation of a win. That brings about it’s own pressure.

superniko Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I feel this match will say a lot about our season. Defeat (and arguably a draw) would feel like “same old Rovers” and just isn’t something a team with Top 6 aspirations end up with. Victory means the decent form continues, and has the potential to push us into the playoff places if Hull fail to beat Watford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverblue Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 We have to be looking for a comprehensive win given our away form and their overall form, going for a 0-3 rovers win. On the flip side historically these are the sort of games where we slip up and lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhben Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Think he will play the same side that ended the game against Birmingham. Didnt see the game but we scored three once we went with a CF up top and put brittain back at right back. Id like to see Siggy get a start. Would be ace if he could find some of his early form.

MarkBRFC Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 17 hours ago, speedies gonna get ya. said: Been taken off sale now by the looks of it. Gutted. Could have bought one earlier online but couldn't see how I'd get it on time. No sale on day is ridiculous when plenty of allocation left unsold. Ring the ticket office and buy them over the phone. They will sort them out to collect at Hillsborough tomorrow. You have just under 2 hours as they go off sale at 2pm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superniko Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Team pretty much picks itself with the injuries / suspensions: Leo Brittain Carter Hill Pickering Tronstad Wharton Szmodics Moran Leonard Sigurdsson The only other option would be Garrett in midfield in place of Siggy/Leonard with Szmodics in the front 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Wednesday have certainly improved of late since the new manager came in, even if results have not. The stories if being unlucky, missed chances with an awful striker up front in Fletcher I hear on a daily basis. I can't make it tomorrow, local game for me as well, but if we play like we have been doing I see a win coming, its whether or not we can cope with the busy schedule schedule more than anything else after 2 touch games agaianst Stoke and Brum.

BigBar Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Saw a post online after the Brum game after Sammie and Dembele both scored a brace and it was Peterboroughs front 3 from a few years back, Sammie, Dembele and Toney were up front for them. All have come a long way. Found it quite interesting. Edited December 1, 2023 by BigBar 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Gayle is another that comes to mind, but I'm sure they've had loads at L1 level. Clarke-Harris being one, and maybe Craig Mackail-Smith before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
