SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 We can win this. 1-2 The start of a magical period for our club..... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0-olyk5XCIg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgregg86 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Over confident and really looking forward to this one. For the first time in years I genuinely can't wait for the next game to come round and believe we will win. The players look interested, the football is entertaining, I believe in what the manager is trying to do ( eventually), the fans are positive and the atmosphere is slowly building back up. Football has it's ups and downs and my God don't we know it so enjoy the moments like this. Drink it in and roll on Saturday, besides, we owe these one COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned to stop expecting from football, and just enjoy each game as it comes - ups and downs are par for the course as a supporter, and although I understand why people expect us to paste this league (Mercer's words?) and finish top, we should all be savvy enough to know that it never works like that - and I'm not just referencing the Venkys era! Hope those going have a great day (kudos to you for making the effort!), and roar us on to bringing back the three points. #COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can guess is you've picked him because you think Mowbray will on defensive grounds. Need to go for the throat again, aggressive pressing system and we will probably win.

Likely to be playing a Cup Final motivated opponent every week now. Worth pointing out two things- the last three goals conceded have come from opposition players who gambled to run into positions against our defence. the last two full games have resulted in ZERO corners being conceded. Probably the best way of solving our weakness from corners! As for Plymouth, the sort of game that decides promotion campaigns. I am with everyone who says set up the team to get at them from the off. Playing defensively is the surest way to ensure we won't get the clean sheet I suspect we might need to win this one. I think you will find its 3 games without giving a corner away and only 1 in the last 4 games and we still conceded from a corner but it was our corner.

And were lucky to do so according to Wigan boss Paul Cook. Let's be under no illusions this is a tough game for us, no point people saying there's nothing in this league we should worry about and we have to beat these sides, it's not that simple. We should go there confident if we play our best we can turn them over for sure, but not underestimating the difficulty for sure. I know you weren't doing that but some of the comments just seem to ignore the reality of this league at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great night, great performance from some of our promising youngsters, traveled down expecting a drubbing.. TP's first game in charge.

Booting the ball out of the ground at Tranmere wasting time, hat trick against Newcastle to deflate the Keegan bubble - then jumping on the Darwen End fence. Another hat trick last day of the season at Plymouth. Two goals in the play off semi, the dive at Wembley etc etc Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover_Shaun Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We digress but He didn't quite jump on the fence as the Geordies would have killed him....eventually after many losses ? What a diving header though and to all the premieristas brought up on namby pamby football here's a great example of a bounce up which now seems to be outlawed in favour of wasting a few minutes on some odd ceremony of giving the ball back. Winners like Speedie didn't give a toss if your leg was hanging off by skin he wanted to win and would gladly contest a drop ball even if it meant kicking his own grandmother ? https://youtu.be/dvjqU1GWD6E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hang in there, don't let being unbeaten in 18 tarnish the hatred, let's saviour someone being hit with a snowball 5 years ago. I'm no Venky apologist, I'll never forgive them for what they've done, but surely if you can't smile now with the run we are on there's no point? Plymouth 1-2 Rovers, hard fought win.

Take off your vestments lol Quite able to enjoy the run, thanks...and even though it does feel like the wicked spell has been lifted,( for now anyway) I allow myself the liberty of trench humour about Venky's.
