I disagree completely- we sold 20 000 season tickets when Allardyce was in charge, due to the cut in prices. Away fans got put upstairs in the Darwen End that year. Even before I remember loads games at Ewood with us having 20 000 plus, in the top flight, and fans just having the bottom right hand corner. The only ones who didn’t have the bottom right hand corner were the big 4 Lancashire clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to come up with a clear statement plus strategy to entice people back..old fashioned stuff like transparency, integrity, leadership, communication....oops then I fell out of bed!!

JacknOry Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 6 from 6 in the next two home games and we will be in a strong position. No excuses - should be beating these two - the away day at Plymouth could be a little trickier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog of the rovers Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Expect Mowbray to go with the same again. Raya Nyambe - Downing - Mulgrew - Williams Smallwood - Bennett Samuel - Dack - Conway Graham Armstrong, Payne, Bell, Leutweiler, Nuttall, Ward, Travis If it aint broke don't fix it approach, particularly after playing so well 1st half at Fleetwood.

Bigdoggsteel Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I would be happy with 7 from the next 9. First need 6 from the next 6 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted January 25, 2018 Backroom Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think after a brilliant win against Shrewsbury nobody was droppable, we got another great win against Fleetwood but a little more laboured and I think now it's fair to bring in Armstrong and / or Payne for Samuel and / or Conway. Otherwise I would keep the same team and eventually bring in Bell for Williams if he looks like being the better option. Every game has an air of must win at the moment, in 2 games we have gone from 5 points behind and almost at match point to above the Voles on goal difference so it would be a massive shame to let them get back in front now; they'll feel nervous going to Pompey after two bad results so let's just make sure we do our bit. Bit nervous as it feels a typical Rovers slip up game; like Yeovil in the one season we were near the play offs in the league above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think Mowbray will go with the starting line up from last week. I hope so anyway, I like the new guys that have been brought in ( don't know much about Bell ) but they'll no doubt get brought on at some point. Conway seems to only have an hour in him so I expect Payne to sub him after half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted January 25, 2018 Backroom Share Posted January 25, 2018 My issue with Conway is that he very very rarely contributes anything positive these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be long before Payne gets the shirt off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted January 25, 2018 Moderation Lead Share Posted January 25, 2018 Nobody can fault Conway for effort, but his legs don't seem to be able to do what his mind wants them to do, which is a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 He has a great attitude and experience though Him and Ward are out of contract in the summer. Graham too,but there is an option for an extra year there from the clubs side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conway and Graham I might be tempted purely for experience in the dressing room but could you justify Graham's wage solely for experience? I wouldn't want him leading our line in the Championship that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Everybody gets to the point were your feet and legs won't do what you want them to do. In my case I found that instead of moving smoothly onto the ball I was " reaching " for the ball with the resultant loss of ball control. Time to call it a day then.

Agree with team selection to start with. TM spoke about Armstrong when he signed saying that he may rest Graham in some games and play the Armstrong card. With that kind of ability and speed on the bench we've a lot to look forward to. As for Fleetwood, they allowed us to play well in first half but second half they played better and didn't allow us the same amount of space.

AdamRochina Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hope for a win no matter how we play.. Just want the three points.. I think because of the last 7 years I've just had all optimism sapped out of me.. I always expect us lose or screw up but long let the positivity continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
