v Watford (a) - 13/9/25

[Herbie6590]

Off to Vicarage Road after the international break…can Rovers get back on track against the Hornets? 

Recent record…

[RTM08]

This one is relatively local to me so if I can get one I'll try and grab some tickets.

We really, really need to make the most of this international break - the games are going to start coming thick and fast and if we don't step it up we could find ourselves adrift very quickly. 

I'd like to see the team from the second half on Saturday but with Gudjohnsen ready to come on and shake things up. 

I'll try and be optimistic and say Watford 1-1 Rovers.

Hopefully one more player on the pitch than last Saturday's second half! I'd move Cantwell back alongside Tronstad as Tavares has been absolutely woeful and figure out how to shuffle things around up top for Moroshita to start. Cantwell's fitness and willingness to get stuck in seems to have improved a lot. 

Anyone have any timeline on when Baradji will be fit, or failing that when we we will find out any info on his injury?

Predicting a first draw of the season: 1-1 

 

Would like Gueye to start to tire out the defence a little bit then bring on ohashi or Gudjohnsen.

 

With morishita deliveries would be great to have a big lad up front who can get his head on them…. Big Mak has been capable

If the option is to start with 11 players including Tavares or 10 players without Tavares I'm picking the latter.

Would it tire the opposition out if we played Gueye and they had to keep getting the ball for free kicks after he keeps getting caught offside?

Desperately need some points here. We've had a really poor start and we need to start getting some points on the board and not just moaning about hard luck stories.

A mixed bag of results there. Recent form suggests a draw or loss. Hoping Mori can start this one and see how long he can play for

Fingers crossed the lads on duty come back unscathed

[jim mk2]

We went to this one last year - Rovers were unlucky to lose to a debatable penalty - and are thinking about it again 

But really what is the point? The team is weaker than last season, the manager looks like he is a dud, and the thought of another long journey home after another depressing defeat is too awful to contemplate

Life is short and some of us haven’t long left. Time is better spent tidying up the garden, doing the chores, watching some local cricket, than supporting a bunch of no hopers. For a lifelong fan, I never thought it would come to this

So you'd start with 10 men? Bold strategy 😂😂😂

[RV Blue]

Surely Cantwell and Tronstad in midfield with Gudjohnsen and Ohashi up front

[roversfan99]

Cantwell can not play in a midfield 2, its not his game and he has never done that before.

He is better playing where he has been.

[roverandout]

Watford 2 rovers 0

[aletheia]

Not going Jim? Good lad, sure fire win for Rovers 😉 

[dallydally]

Only a loss for me after this shocking transfer window. We are doomed!

We’ll do well to get 0.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It’ll be like the first game of the Rugby League season at my club. There are so many comings and goings in the close season that she always takes a sheet with the players photos and names on it so she knows who they are !

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I know deep down I want us to win but it all feels irrelevant,losing interest fast.

[Tomphil2]

Be just like Rovers to win this before the wheels truly fall off again in the game after.

[Dolly blue]

What does it matter ? 
We are finished as a club….a laughing stock and an embarrassment to the town. 
I hate everything we have become…..as for the results in the coming weeks / months ..totally irrelevant.

 My support has gone and …I never thought I’d write this ..I couldn’t give a toss whether we win or lose ….we’ve been crushed by incompetence, greed and non football motives. 
To those who still go to Ewood …good luck…you’ll need it ! 

[DeeCee]

The only positive I can take from all this shite is that at least the new squad have a couple of weeks to get their shit together.

What it will look like? I've no idea but it will be "exciting" 🙄
