Hedges crap. Relegation playing this way. Eeeeeeeh have you got amnesia?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1864roverite Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It might not be good on the eye however a point away in a six pointer isn’t too bad a return imo. 3 points is massive but Rovers don’t seem able to produce a bit of quality going forward to open a chance of scoring 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BankEnd Rover Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Poor half - Almost trying too hard in the final third. Chrisene has been very poor down the left. Id take a draw now. Edited February 13 by BankEnd Rover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher hasn't won a header tonight. Our situation certainly wasn’t all on JDT, but equally it isn’t suddenly all on Eustace. We look like a struggling side, which, bar one result against an awful Stoke side, is exactly what we are. It’s simply about cobbling enough points for survival. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlue Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 7 minutes ago, martonrover said: Thank you . From some of the posts on here you’d be forgiven for thinking we were flying prior to Eustace’s arrival. From some of the posts this week you’d think the squad was fine, JDT was shite, and JE is the new Pep-destroying messiah because Gallagher decided to win his annual header. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBar Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'm oddly content at the moment. No stupid risks, tighten up a bit and look to grab a goal and be a perfect night. We got better as the half went on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't laud that point yet, we look more likely to leave with 0 at the moment. I'd have taken a point before the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Gally showing the case against giving a new contract. Chrisene poor. No penetration in the team so far. Good job Birmingham aren't shooting straight .. yet? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Goes without saying that a big improvement is needed in the second half. I though we actually started pretty well, getting the ball forward quickly, even taking quick throw ins to keep the momentum going. We got worse as the half went on and looked to starting putting it back together towards the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke were absolutely wretched that first half. This is a fairer reflection of what our squad can/mainly can't do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBar Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just now, NeilInBristol said: half glass full. fair enough Can be a half empty type man too but given the circumstances I'll try and stay positive. Happy to see lads clearing their lines and keeper going long. Start with the basics after a horror run. There is a balance to be struck but can't do it all at once. But more composure up top is needed. Been very poor so far in the final third. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all his faults he’s mostly steady. Much like Pears. And a 0-0 draw would be a good result. A 1-0 a bloody miracle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the basics are passing the ball, retaining possession, creating chances and denying chances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B16Rover Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I know it's low on the list too but our ifollow is always poor compared to other clubs. We just leave the camera on and go for a fag break at half time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aletheia Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Brittain should keep his mouth shut. 3 potential crosses in promising attacks and he hits the defender each time. Crisene stuggling. Shame, thought he looked good on Saturday. Not fit enough for 2 games so close? Tronstad solid. Dolan tidy. Take a draw now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilInBristol Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 "The important thing for me is working with a fantastic group of players. "All I can effect is what's on the pitch. I want togetherness between the players and the fans. That's what I am interested in, I want a team fully committed" his words, not mine. JDT was calling out the shit show of the owners. JE is playing yes man and stating all he can effect is whats on the pitch, well lets see. so far that was shocking 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeRover Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Brittain is a moaner simple as. Made himself look a tart with his comments and makes me think he got himself sent off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
