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

[Neal]

Went blues bar afterwards... Some woman went round every TV and turned off sky sports news to BBC1... When quizzed she said to take it up with the club because she'd been instructed to and worked for sedexo or something.

 

Fucks all that about?

That tells me more about people than results. 

A quick look on the childish nature of social media and grown men throwing tantrums, supposedly mature administrators as guardians of this very site calling players thick, and all the other rubbish that emerges after a defeat, tells me there is no patience in football these days. I'm not as much done with the game as I am with certain so-called Rovers "supporters", and I have zero problems calling them out or copping a ban for it. It's pathetic, and the team and manager deserve some time.

If your primary issue at the moment is supporter reactions to 4 losses in 5 than what is happening at the club then you arent directing your anger in the right place.

You won’t get a ban for it, that’s silly. You’re more than welcome to your opinion as long as it falls within the site rules, which everyone (including me!) has to follow.

I think Gueye has shown over the past year that he doesn’t have the intellect to play football at this level. Perhaps calling him “thick” was a bit too brash, more of a “say it in the pub to your mates, but not on Twitter” comment, but I stand by the sentiment. I can reel off four or five occasions where he’s done things which lead me to believe he’s isn’t clever enough to be a success at this level.

I look on the bright side, it’s international week next week so they can’t ruin my weekend again for a while. It’s come to something when I look forward to us NOT playing !

Why does anybody have to get angry? I'm certainly not. The defeats hurt, but I can accept that the club is in a transitional state. It certainly sounds like the Travis situation was dropped on us very quickly, and these players will need time to gel. Surely that's not an unreasonable point of view.

Playing Ohashi off the main striker probably is a better bet for me, not that I rate Gueye, but Ohashi is way too slow and weak as the main centre forward.

Ohashi is more of a striker than a number 10. Hes just average.

Gueye on the other hand is dreadful.

Tavares and Kargo were shite today. 
 

well done recruitment team

Kargo was pathetic. Tavares was off at halftime but it would have been better to get Kargo off then and not wait until 70 min. He was either static, on his arse or watching the ball run away.

Maybe it's the service ohasi is receiving 

How do you think Simon Garner would have gone on playing up front on his own in this team ?

Gueye has gone worse. I honestly think VI might have told him to stop dicking about as much and he's subsequently suffered as a result as he appears to have dipped in confidence. He's never been amazing but at the minute looks a complete lost cause.

Operation piss the fans off obviously in full swing.

Maybe the licence for the Sky covers the whole ground and they'd forgotten to turn the channel over.

The plebs in Blues havent paid £15 a head to watch it in Jack's kitchen so therefore aren't entitled to watch it I presume.

Even though it's available.

How are we reconciling Gueye's 1 in 3 record against Arnor's 1 in 6 in the Belgian league

I don't rate Gueye at all. He has some physical presence, but his smile and crazy attitude have never ever washed with me. He had to do some good on the pitch, and I've never really seen it. 

Calling Gueye thick is not right in my opinion, but I do agree that he needs to move on. Furthermore, I don't think Ismael particularly rates him, which is all that matters no matter what we think.

Did she check their bags too, in case they were too big or too heavy?

What next, you pay extra to sit next to a window or your mate?

Gueyes a big clumsy waste of money  who trips over his own feet. A drunk from the fox and hounds could have done better. There's one for Ismael, a drunk from the fox and hounds instead of Gueye.

[Bbrovers2288]

Gueye has just never been the answer. His one sole use is to be physical and cause unrest, he doesn’t know how to Chanel that effectively however

1 win in 4, irrespective of any excuses it's just not good enough. 

We're in serious trouble, relegation battle ahead and we've shipped out all our championship experience.

Won’t be big misses tho

We have been in a 'transitional state' ever since Venkys took over...you may have just noticed.

Your comments towards supporters sounded quite angry.

We have heard about transitions before. The Travis situation wasnt dropped on us quickly, we knew these situations would unfold due to our inability to sort contracts.

The most frustrating thing about Gueye is he has all the attributes and opportunity to be a successful footballer but for whatever reason (effort? commitment? desire? intelligence?) is going to let the opportunity pass. He should be doing extra hours drilling every week - even if that means paying Danny Graham or Jordan Rhodes out of his own pocket. He’s certainly paid enough to do so. 

[BankEnd Rover]

I think our best team, once people are fit will be the below.

                      Toth

Alebiosu, Hyam, McLaughlin, Ribeiro

Hedges, Tronstad Baradji, Morishita

                    Cantwell

                    Gudjohnsen 

Kargbo, Travares, Hendriksson and Ohashi and Carter as first option replacements 

[Parsonblue]

Enjoyed the game today.  Norwich by far the better team in the first half and we were fortunate to be only one behind at half-time.  McLoughlin badly caught out for the penalty and red card.

However, I was impressed with our second-half display and thought we were unlucky not to come away with a point.  There was much to be admired about our display with ten men but the lack of a goalscorer is a major issue at the moment.

It's early days, and considering the major changes we've made to the squad, it's going to take time to come together.  However, I feel confident from what I've seen so far, that this squad is capable of more than holding its own against most teams in the Championship.

It'll be slower than going in a "normal" queue soon if they play like that for much longer.
