Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted August 10 Posted August 10 38 minutes ago, alcd said: The replacements for outgoing players will be loans from PL U21 squads, cobbled together in the final days of the window. We all know from experience, those players have absolutely no impact other than filling a place on the squad list. More than likely. Quote

They sound worried about the season. Justifiably so. Very good interview. It’s quite obvious that they are both of the same views at the moment. They believe rovers transfer dealings, both in and out, for a few seasons now have been poor and is a major reason for concern. “A couple of the new boys didn’t turn up”. Basically they believe the club is heading into dangerous waters. I 100% go along with them. 6 Quote

Looked threatening going forward and looked solid enough at the back. People have to remember he's got zero support going forward with Ryan fuckin Hedges. We look fine at RB with Miller and Alebiosu...It's the right wing we need to be worried about. 100% agree. Alebiosu was doing all the work on the right practically on his own with the non-existent Hedges ahead of him. I was really concerned about him before yesterday but he pleasantly surprised me....maybe my expectations have dropped through the floor in recent seasons but he seemed ok to me. 3 Quote

Someone yesterday suggested playing him in front of Miller, seems like a plan to me. Edited August 10 by M_B Quote
Backroom DE. Posted August 10 Backroom Posted August 10 Alebiosu was quite alright, especially considering it was his debut, but against a very average WBA side just OK is a downgrade on what we would have had. I think Brittain would have really troubled that WBA team yesterday. 1 Quote
Popular Post Miller11 Posted August 10 Popular Post Posted August 10 Unless there is some sort of miracle before the transfer window closes, I think our best bet is to play Gueye, Kargbo and Miller every game. Smash long balls up to Gueye, get Miller on every throw in, tell Kargbo to run at people. This was where we looked most effective yesterday and pre season - particularly against competent opposition. I don’t think we are scoring many goals otherwise. 14 Quote

Tugayisgod Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Miyoshi on the bench for Bochum today. Not sure if it affects his GBE status unless he comes on ? Quote

Brittain is a good Championship RB, but he's not a worldie and he's not a game changer. Alebiosu rolled a ball across their 6 yard box and absolutely nobody attacked it. Brittain would have been similarly frustrated yesterday. 1 Quote

Rumour has it we've been after him for months and he's keen to come - as the season has now started I'd be amazed if that transfer gets done. 1 Quote

'A very poor clearance from one of the new boys Alebiosu' Well Kevin, it's pretty hard to do a good clearance when you're being wrestled to the ground. 3 Quote

I don’t think we are scoring many goals otherwise. I agree with the sentiment, but we did exactly that for 30 mins yesterday and created absolutely nothing and had no shots on target. I think we looked more threatening at the end of the first half with Hedges coming inside to make room for Alebiosu to overlap. That also didn't look remotely threatening either, but slightly more so. We should have swapped Hedges and Kargbo over once Alebiosu went off. Miller offered no threat aside from the long throws.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 10 Posted August 10 3 hours ago, Emerald Isle Rover said: Agreed especially henriksson, I know his season is under way and has fitness under his belt but this is a different league should have came off the bench. Ohashi should have been the 10 with Gueye up top If we’ve learnt one thing from yesterday’s game it is the Gueye and Ohashi aren’t on the same wavelength. I could see that when we tried it the last time against Millwall last season. Ohashi is a penalty box player, pure and simple. 1 Quote
Emerald Isle Rover Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Whilst the pending exit of Travis is another of the growing and continued long list of Fcuk ups from the board citing relegation after one game is crazy particularly away from him against a team notoriously known for being decent at home it doesn’t excuse the performance and doesn’t shy away from the obvious failings of the team but come on we need to see what happens come first international break to get a clear picture look at Norwich at home yesterday spent well beat at home sheff u hammered at home watford deemed to have done good business then obviously Derby too one game (whilst underwhelming) can’t be the barometer 3 Quote
Hasta Posted August 10 Posted August 10 (edited) Alebiosu was OK in a knock-it-and-run down the wing and cross or win a corner kind of way. Still should have done better for the goal regardless of the attention of the opposition player. He doesn't worry me as much as De Neve and Hendriksson did ,as we have another potentially good option there with Miller. Edited August 10 by Hasta 1 Quote

I’m not reading too much into his debut. I’m one of the few who thought Alibeouso (sp?) did ok. Beat his man and delivered a couple of decent crosses. One early in the first half went right across the box with nobody there to take advantage of it. Travis is going to go and I think that’s pretty obvious now. He will be a big loss in the centre of the park. Not sure he’s going to be easy to replace. I do wonder if Axel may be his replacement in there. I agree on Alebiosu who looked ok on debut but he got forward and try to do what Brittain did for us. Replacing Brittain was always going to tough task given his qualities and how he played the right back role. Quote

Regarding Miller - he didn’t do much wrong but I couldn’t escape the feeling that he is a centre half playing fullback. The same feeling I get when Carter plays right back. 2 Quote

Obviously nobody is saying he's a world class player. Silly comment. 1 Quote

Well, in our family, we all "knew" after Coyle's first game against Norwich. The suicidal transfer window was a key issue then, as well.. 3 Quote
