Gueye at center-half.

If that happens, we should all lump on Sheff Utd being awarded a hat trick of pens

[had.e.nuff]

who would have thought a 6 pointer in October

[ruggles1995]

Think id stick with same formation from sat. If I could pick an 11 thats available id go:

Toth
                Wharton mcloughlin Pickering

Alebiousu  hinckman tronstasd   hedges
                     morishita
            Gueye        Yuki 

assuming millers still injured.

Made the journey up for this one. We need to win. 

[chaddyrovers]

Miller is fit for this game..

[roversfan99]

At least that will stop him doing something weird like Montgomery at centre back.

Cantwell is now "a couple of weeks" and otherwise just constant bleating on again about how unlucky weve been and how great weve been playing.

Great news if true.

I guess we go the same as the XI that played well for an hour. There really are not many other options anywhere on the pitch.

What happens when we start having half a dozen players out at a time in November/December I do not know?

[RoversTilliDie]

Enough ifs,  maybes, or could have beens, we need to start winning, starting tomorrow night.

I would start with the same team.

I personally thought Ohashi and Gudjohnsson battled well yesterday, the latters time will come.

We need a win. 

We need Gueye and Ohashi, putting the ball in the net, to get their confidence back.

just cant fathom the logic behind sticking in a young midfielder who isnt good enough full stop, in at a position he is unfamiliar with, purely to have a right footer at centre back.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ismael put Ohashi in goal, hes good at playing players out of position.

Ismael's pre match comments

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Its about us putting the ball into the back of the net Ismael FFS!

[dallydally]

Just watched Ismael's interview ahead of the Sheffield United game. The man is totally deluded and totally incapable of inspiring listeners. It's only a question of time before the powers that be realise what a cock up has been made in choosing him as Manager!

Loser talk. Winners don't make excuses, they just focus on getting whatever needs to be done, done. 

When JDT and Eustace saw their plans being torn to shreds by the idiots in charge they offered to resign in protest - they were forced to stay. Ismael has just sat there and nodded along as everything around him has been bulldozed.

As we have been told, we have recruited exceptionally well, and we are extremely flexible - or, in the words of Ismael, it's "just as we expected." We are not dependent on anyone, and when both Alebiosu and Miller are out, we'll play TGH in both right wing back and right center back, and Tavares will be both a number six and a number eight. "All the stats are there, and when you look at the numbers, it's actually very good. Just as we expected". The league table will also be much more "aligned".

Make no mistake,they have finally got their man who will toe the party line.Utterly disastrous for the future of this Club.

So, i didn't dream that, he did actually put Montgomery at RCB against Coventry?

Not play with 3 CB's?

[roversfan99]

Well thats a pretty obvious one.

It hasnt been a cockup as he is willing to accept whatever is put in front of him. He wont be going anywhere.

Maybe but if it want to stick with 3 at the back what were options tbh? Limited. Maybe Atcheson should have been on bench. 

[Blue Greyhound]

I've said it before and il say it again.

 

We will go on a run of form, ishmael will be manager of the month.

 

We are just doing it the other way around this time.

 

I predict a rovers win, I'm surprisingly positive about this one and ny expectations are zero for the season, that's when we usually impress.
