Red card Swansea

Not a brilliant half by any stretch, but we aren't losing! We look slow, need an extra midfielder on as we are struggling to cover our back 4. Gallagher for Graham, Bennett for Armstrong within 10 - 15 mins of re-start.

Poor by Dack, dangerous free kick needlessly given away

Goaaaaal

Certainly excited about this game, what a win would do for us at a good time of the season. Come on Rovers, lets have a victory, confidence must be at a decent level. Sir Bradley to score, 1-0 Rovers. COYB

Well done Rovers, great result. Special mention for TM and Sam as they get plenty of bollocks on here ? Apologies if I offend anybody as I've been in the pub a good few hours ?

Up in Keswick with four wanderers fans. Gonna be a gooood night! ? ?

There's only one!! Happy birthday Simon.

Can't see us getting much today but 13/2 are decent odds so a few quid on us! We need quick players with a decent first touch on the pitch so an experimental (I'm not TM by the way) starting eleven. Walton Nyambe Tosin Williams Downing Johnson Travis Holtby Dack Rothwell Gallagher

Poor half, can only get better. ☹️

2-0

bollocks, 1-0 down

Now we are getting somewhere. Nobody would suggest that Dack and Rhodes goal scoring record isn't anything but excellent. The point I'm trying to make is that when they aren't having their 'moment' its often like playing with 10 men and no outlet. So, for arguments sake, Rhodes / Dack scores one, opposition dominate and score 2, Rhodes / Dack have great stats, but Rovers don't get promoted and other good players don't get a game. Hope this makes sense (I know what I mean!!).

Agreed.

Yes, they scored goals, but we could not fit Josh King in due to their 'success'. We scored goals but didn't get promoted! King would have been the better contributor to that team IMO and would likely have scored as many as Rhodes, given the service provided.

Both goalscorers and good ones, but can you guarantee their place when they play one good game in 3 or less in Rhodes case?

Was only thinking the other day about the similarities between Dack and Rhodes. Both are the types of player that if they don't score / have a moment of magic, then neither are often not worth their place on the team sheet. The other side of this is that the players (Josh King / Rothwell etc.) that don't get selected as 'we cannot drop Rhodes or Dack' will leave due to lack of game time. Very difficult to balance the players feelings and the team requirements all at the same time. My view, when we had Rhodes, Gestede and King was that my selection up front would have been Gestede and King more often than not.

Certainly not our best performance. We were too slow, no cutting edge, toothless! Very frustrating game. Holtby looks a decent player. Travis mom for me. Johnson, Gallagher, Armstrong and, dare I say downing not at the races. One of dacks poorer games. Still, Tuesday night and a win would make things better.

No Idea why that was ruled out. The natives are getting restless!

Downing Centre mid now

We're playing far too slowly, need to pick the pace up. Armstrong needs to be subbed. Johnson may well be subbed. Come on rovers, this a very average Luton team.

Great shot Travis

Not showing so much quality at all. High ball etc. Defence looks a bit out of sorts.

A group of 8 of us have flights to Tenerife in a fortnight booked with them. We're holding an 'emergency meeting' in my local around 3pm today, (a few pints will be had to keep the vocal chords moist). The likelihood is that we purchase alternative flights.

Competition for places is essential for a team with asperations. We have a good selection of midfielders, the most demanding position on the pitch IMO, and this should prove beneficial as the season progresses. Pick a team to exploit your opponents weaknesses or to null their strengths. Great result yesterday, a couple more wins over the next few weeks could see us right up there!
