Weird game - kept a clean sheet but som hairy moments and timely offsides plus Toth and Millers interventions 😃 Good attacking play and a striker who knows where to be - felt like they have worked on areas to cross to as well so a little cred to the coaches too Gudjohnsen played a crossfield ball first half (to De Neve) that was awesome, he holds the ball well last 5-10 mins and he isn’t dreadful at linking play on the ground. Keeps playing like today and he is a good fit for our 2 up top and advanced wingbacks

Along the same lines as Big Sam preferring a corner to a shot from 25 yards - statistically corners are the better option but in the championship with bog average keepers i do wonder (not least as we are shit from corners...)

Match is broadcast on Viaplay in Sweden so maybe it is not available? ps. Not on the list on Rovers site but suggests it has been picked for international broadcast

Kargbo not on bench??

According to the stats onscreen after the match yesterday we were better in all aspects except actual goals. As it this is obviously an outlier then it can be safely excluded from the dataset. Wonder if there is an appeals process as an outlier in the data should not be able to affect the result to this extent… 🤡

Is it too early to start next seasons relegation thread? (From L1) Asking for a friend 🫣

I have him down as a reasonable player outside the box but not a goal scorer. Problem I saw (again) today is that players really don’t know where to put the crosses/final ball. That is a major coaching flaw - either pen spot or area between keeper and backline should be drilled into them all. Sure the odd miscue/overhit will still happen but right now it looks like they have never trained together

Probably code locks on doors and the batteries are flat. Nobody knows whose job it is to go and buy new ones (if India approves the outlay)

Not debating Gueye - more that either bring him on earlier or don’t bother at all. Bringing him on at 87 minutes is just taking the piss or not having the balls to say “well he is shit” and put Wharton up front for 5 minutes

And that confirms my theory - waits until 87th minute to bring on Gueye

Val is actively trolling the fans now - cannot think of any other explanation

We need a goal - good job we havn't taken off both our strikers and left one on the bench

Great ball by Gudjohnsen (to De Neve) - has showed decent football intelligence on a few occasions but just doesn't inspire any confidence that he will score a goal...

Is it my tv or does the pitch look like it has been cut with a blunt butter knife?

Think we may see AP in goal in the near future - would reinforce the ”unlucky” narrative by putting large portion of the blame on BT. Also - how can so many of our subs fail to understand offside. Truly frightening

Prediction: concede in the 12th minute, final score 4 - 0 coventry and at least one of our back 5 injured or sent off.

I”m not seeing it boss. Sigh - that’s not I meant when I said relegation is in the bag!

Was this in response to a question about Tavares or more general about the new signings? also who asked the question EJ/LET don’t have direct access anymore…

At this point a certain Debbie with a connection to Dallas would appreciated (and yes even if she is now about 70...)

At this point i am currently comparing the relative properties of different brands of gaffer tape in secondary browser window...

Attendance over 14 000 according to commentators (3800 from stoke)

I take it back - think he now has 2 assists against us..

Think Gueye offers more of a goal threat but is worse in terms of build up play, passing and general "work" (Gudjohnsen does some decent stuff when deep and also helped cantwell see out the game). Trouble is in terms of goal threat he offers zero...

Feels a bit like a cup game -we might get lucky and snatch a goal somewhere but Stoke look like they are from a division above us that is seriously worrying
