v Watford (h) - 24/1/26

[WacoRover]

More of the same I’m afraid. 

How much more misery can we tolerate?

0-3.

Are we boycotting the match thread too?

I made it necessarily short, thinking that might be a very good option. I didn’t wanna waste a lot of words on this one.

Rovers 1 - 2 Watford. Jorgensen again for Rovers.

Based on Ismael's comments, Alebiosu wont be starting, so I'm expecting TGH to continue out there. Grim.

I would revert to a back 4 for this with either Pickering or Ribeiro coming in, with Powell on the left flank, Jorgensen on the right and Baradji in the CAM position to support Ohashi. Tronstad and Forshaw as a pairing in the middle.

Rover 0-3 Watford

Men against boys in the Ewood Park morgue. Ismael sat at the side without a clue having already given up on the game not giving the slightest damn and leaving the squad out to dry.

On the plus side, if the Watford fans have any songs to sing about old Val, he'll be able to hear them loud and clear.

Val has basically told us that the current available team can't compete at this level (I agree with him, but it's probably not the most encouraging thing for the players to hear!). Seeing as the transfer window is open, the fact we are not desperately trying to bring a couple of players in who can play on Saturday suggests we are basically throwing this match and the next few until some players are back. Makes you wonder how bothered they are about whether we get relegated or not.

Anticipating a wild roll of the dice from VI.. and a spanking from Watford

Expect nothing but a complete and total surrender against Watford.

0-3

I can’t believe people aren’t boycotting this thread…

They're not bothered. End of.
