v Norwich City (h) - 30/8/25

[MarkBRFC]

Far to much positivity for this version of venkys rovers this week with a good win and talk of a couple of exciting signings through the door.

Rovers 0 Norwich 2, back down to earth with a thud,

I expect these to improve as the season goes on (as Manning's Bristol City seemed to do last year) so this is probably a good time to play them.

 

It seems like they're (another!) team that plays out from the back with defenders who aren't up to it, so hopefully we can take advantage of that.

Your Liverpools and Man City's didn't win all those trophies with negative thoughts. We're in for a good hiding before a balls been kicked, what's wrong with positive thinking. 4-0 Rovers.

I’ve got to go with Rovers. Two more signings through the door (not that they will provide immediate help) who should eventually boost the club. Defending looking good, 

Rovers, 2; Sarge 🇺🇸 , 1.

Let's not count on it, probably a weakened Norwich.

Will take anything that helps us!

Agreed, normally when there is a bit of positivity around here, we do indeed come crashing back to earth.

1-2 Norwich.

Plus we haven't beat Norwich at Ewood since our Premier League days.

Seem to be a bogey side at home for us, but funnily enough we seem to have done ok at there place in the venkys era.

WWWD since I’ve lived here. Been in the crowd for ‘em all.

[Ricceh]

Norwich selling arguably their best player to Ipswich. Yank owners.

Bogey side at Ewood and the ultimate blow hot one min blow cold the next min club.

A much sterner test than last week and Brum.
