Extended highlights, Leeds version, bless 'em

We go to Leeds and win a Battle of the Roses wearing an almost white rose. Weird.

It's worth watching to see the growing anger at Pears time wasting but from 4.10 it's classic and just hear the Rovers Roar! 😁 

John Ruddy, Pathway Blocker.

No wish to piss on the party after a great win but Leeds were awful.

The much hyped Summerville is exhibit No 1.

Bamford for missing an easy header when virtually unmarked exhibit No 2.

They were off the pace, indeed pedestrian for much of the game and it may be that Leeds just lack the bottle.

I agree that on the day Eustace won the tactical battle but it was more than that, Leeds played as poorly as I've seen them in ages.

After that pass by Dolan and his recent performances I have changed my view and hope he re-signs. He's also developing a nasty streak, I like that.

I watched the first half of Brum. They played well, Coventry had an off day but good for us as they will be out of the playoffs and cup by the time we play them. If we're not safe after SW.

I watched the 2nd half of the Ipswich game. Their keeper saved them from defeat with a couple of top top class saves.

Superb win. Well done to all.

Poster opinion: unreliable 

Poster response: yet he was very good at ......

Me: Off to therapy

When Lowe is deemed to be more switched on you know you’re in trouble.

Albert Steptoe with dyed hair.

Benson is cleaning up, Hercules dropped one.

Despite being so far out his depth in terms of the leader and captain, I can't see Hyam ever being dropped in the short term. 

As we're stuck with him, his name may be the first on the team sheet however he needs help and Carter and Billy/McFadz will need to step up to support and cover up his mistakes. 

Brittain and Pickering make up the WBs. 

JRC and Tronstad also need to be at their best. 

Sczmods free role behind Dolan and Gallagher. 

Unlikely (we're 10/1 to win ffs) but you never know, look at Leicester and Ipswich recently. 

Gilsenan to come on later. 

Garrett same then get himself sent off. 

Daniel James injury time winner. 

If McFad appears on field at anytime I will reconsider the meaning of life.

Plymouth win, huge for them. 

More pressure on us, and our lot don't like pressure.

I've just woke up, 6.15 am, and first thing I checked was that result.

I won't be able to sleep again.

Maybe it will inspire out lot, maybe I am still asleep and just dreaming.

There's FA I can do, so I'll close my eyes and hope.

I do need that therapy.

That for me sums up why we deserve to be relegated, I think we draw or lose all of our remaining games.

SW will be up for it and are physically robust. We will have to compete and earn the right to run the show.

Coventry, whom I've watched quite a bit, are decent, they may still be after a playoff spot and no Robbins team is ever on the beach. It's likely that their FA Cup run is over by the time we play them.

It's in our hands but it's a tough run in.

A point v Leeds would be amazing.

We've won just 6 home games all season and only one in year 2024.

I'm searching for some 🔵 tinted spectacles.

We might get draws and that might be enough.

Eustace and the players are not good enough to do it without "assistance" from the crap teams around us.

Harsh, but IMHO, true.

0.83 points per game and still in the job.

Classic example of getting what you pay for. Peanuts gets discarded shells.

And many swallow the daily bullshit and single cells convert it to their truth.

Which leads to getting what you deserve.

Eustace is at 10 points from 12 games for a PPG of 0.83.

That form results in just one outcome but we may well be saved by the wins garnered earlier in the season and the plain fact that others are also crap and will struggle to close the small points gap.

Eustace is in reality Useless.

And it will become the narrative over the summer if we do go down. All JDTs fault but we can rebuild, new manager, we're all in it together yada yada

When that becomes the case we just produce the facts, the truth, the stats.

Simple stuff like PPG, which in Eustace's case is already appalling. 

Alledgedly JDT had to deal with revolting players, and JE hasn't. As yet.

Well, that monumental HT subs clusterfuck will have ruffled a few feathers of the entitled ones.

We were at The Lowry last night to watch “ The Mousetrap “. Looks like we were the lucky ones. You can’t get a signal inside the theatre so as soon as I got outside after the performance I turned my phone on. I saw I had a one word message from my son. It just said “ awful “. So I turned to the BBC scores, my heart dropped when I saw 5-0. I texted him “ what happened ? “ . He’s so pissed off he still hadn’t responded !

I’m building my self up to watch thec” highlights “ so blame can be apportioned.

If you want to “ Who did it ? “ in “ The Mousetrap “ - it was The Chicken Chokers with a rolled up bank account in the boardroom. 

BC have the goals up on YouTube.

I was going to post a link earlier but concerned it might upset a few so left it to personal choice.

Not a pretty sight.

Someone suggested the same last night. Hyam was awful. The same mistake leading to two goals. Suspicious 

Hyam didn't appear that fussed or bothered trying when he was easily robbed of the ball, turned and rinsed by Mehmeti who then scored.

We gave them 4 goals

1. Hyam tries to bring a ball under control. Fails.

2. Brittain fails to clear an easy ball down their left. Hyam concedes penalty.

3. See opening paragraph.

4. McFad turns his back to the ball, intent only to impede his opponent. Concedes penalty for handball. He had no idea or interest in the flight of the ball.

They created their 5th but assisted as we'd all given up by then.

Pathetic does not adequately cover this debacle by a Rovers team who didn't even try.

That's what I find unforgivable.

I voted in the ratings. It wouldn't accept 0 for Hyam so I had to go with a 1. Then I see he's on 0.1, so I stopped thinking how that works as my brain was frazzled.

I came across the Predictor. I don't think it's fully operational but as I was there I went for Leeds 7 v Fluffy Feather Pillow Cases 1, and it will be that if we show the desire of last night.

I also listened to Eustace on RoversTV. I don't know why, it's worrying, so I've booked an hour late afternoon with a local Monk who does some mental health counselling.

TTF the sanity of PL Darts is on tonight.

I'm still trying to deal with the assertion that Hedges has a good shot.

I agree that he's better and of more use that the soft lad with the hairnet.

Lots of twists and turns there.

I expect Hudds to go down, Big Club to get safe, Sheff Wed to fight like hell.

Our run in will test us, starting tonight.

We have not beaten Coventry since their return to the Championship.

6 games, 4 draws and 2 defeats. The defeats were in away games this season and last season.

Having just bought the 47 acres previously used by Birmingham Wheels for a new stadium and training centre Brum need a win soon.

Sadly there fixtures look doable.

I'm so happy that we are a "No Excuses" club.

I saw that to.

Thanks.

I just read about the fire that day in the Darwen End and the welded double dart thrown in the direction of Terry Gennoe.
