Usual merry-go round with you. If he's "very happy to knock everything Rovers do" and you "won't as a fan" then, by strong implication, you are saying Mercer isn't a fan. Its that simple but you'll wriggle out of it as you always do. "We respect each other"!!! Yeah right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right. usual people point scoring from yourself. sure your fan club will be happy with you You have simple misinterpreting my point. Mercer didn't have a problem but as per usual you have made a big issue out of nothing!

CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We were never making the play offs with or without Holtby and our inactivity in the transfer window now just looks even more fucking ridiculous. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan99 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Another huge blow. With these injuries and the inability to sign anyone, we look horribly short in attacking areas. No idea how we go from here. If Armstrong stops scoring we are really up shit creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsubmarine Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Maybe we should just use the second half of the season to blend the youngsters in. Armstrong has been stepping up. But can't see where else the goals are coming from - unless we focus on set pieces and utilise Lenihan and Tosin more often. Or get Mulgrew back in for freekicks/corners.

chaddyrovers Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Gutted for the player tbh. Played really well at Sheffield Wednesday as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Gutted for Holtby. As predicted after that pathetic transfer window, we are in the shit with low quality in key areas. Time for shit or bust and go two up top and play with proper widemen...no doubt that Muppet manager we have will persevere with Bennett as a number 10 though. Fortune often favours the brave but cagey, safe football reigns supreme for Big T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its that simple but you'll wriggle out of it as you always do. "We respect each other"!!! Yeah right. Yeah not sure how it can be read any other way. Whether that was intended is another question but: "I won't as (because) a fan" the as implies a causal link between being a fan and their actions/response. Cause and effect - I won't slate because I am a fan - the two are connected. Therefore if you do an opposite action if the response is linked to being a fan or not, the huge inference is an opposite action must have an opposite cause (as in not being a fan.) I'm basically agreeing and saying it is a poor do to infer superior fan status. It's not that ambiguous at all. Put it this way if I posted in response I wouldn't say what X did because I'm not a dick, I'm fairly confident X would pick up the inference straight away. Not saying anyone is and it's just an illustration but shows how strong the inference is. Anyway back to Holtby. Bummer. Huge loss on top of Dack. Changes the way we play in all likelihood - more likely to be trying to grind results out from now on imo. Only saving grace is we won't get relegated even with a huge and damaging injury list as we're too far gone for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Good luck to Holtby. It's a huge blow for him and Rovers. This is a nasty injury and when its torn from the bone (either thigh or shin) then there's a likelihood of other knee damage. I think Mowbray is wildly optimistic thinking the lad might be back for the play offs, if we get there, as I understand recovery for a sports person is generally a minimum of three months and in some instances up to seven to nine months.

Back for the play offs? What, back off his holiday in time to catch the final on TV? As someone else has said, with or without Holtby we weren’t making the playoffs, him being out for the season just means we are even more fooked for the remainder. Great.

Backroom DE. Posted February 6, 2020 Backroom Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Really shit news. The two best pure footballers at the club out injured for the season within practically a month of each other. Add Rothwell and Evans to the long(ish) injury list and it's already looking bleak for the rest of the season. Going to need some low-key performers to start stepping up quickly.
