G Somerset Rover

Half time team talks gone well again then.

Apologies if it’s been posted, but one first half goal from us in TEN games. Edit: Hoochie had beaten me to it.

Well that was pretty good....for the first 5 minutes! Apart from Kaminski and perhaps Lenihan that was another bag of absolute horse sh*te. How anyone can defend Mowbray’s Rovers. Honestly - it’s the pits.

None of the players look comfortable where they’re playing. Travis seems to be playing pretty much RM FFS. Such a sh*te half but I know none of us are surprised. I’d bloody love it for one of the Sky boys to say this is Rovers, we’re not the ‘excellent footballing side’ that Mowbray and the media tell us we are. But that ain’t gonna happen.

And people moan that sky never select us! We are bloody awful. One half chance wide for Arma. That’s it.

Don’t need to be Guardiola to tell you that if we keep giving away needless set pieces then we will lose this match.

Looks heavier to me. First touch is horrendous too.

Not really creating anything of note are we though. Half chance for Arma so far maybe? We haven’t created much for weeks.

Branthwaite and Douglas like the chuckle brothers there. Branthwaite having a stinker.

Started pretty well but really lost our way since Johnson went off. Need to get a foot on the ball.

Jeez, poor kid looks in a bad way. Still can’t work out what on Earth Branthwaite was doing.

I trust those who bemoaned our luck last week will be on here saying that was as clear a pen as you’ll see?

Lucky there why the hell didnt Branthwaite head it?! Idiot - you’re about 6’4 you fool!

Could tell he should have gone off right away as he was hobbling when we had the corner. Looks like he’ll be out for weeks as he’s a tough guy and he’s barely walking off.

Just you wait til Dack and Breo are back... At least Trav starts I suppose.

Reckon they’d notice if we left the lot of them there?

Douglas had to play RB one match. That’s all I can think of.

Just so unfortunate that we’re the only club to suffer from Covid and injuries this season.

100%. Starts with Madame and ends with Blingy! Given I believe he’s talking to them more and more via the media it may show that he feels just the teeniest bit of heat.

That adds up - you could sense he had a hard on for Tony (if only Boro would take him off our hands). I wish the likes of Clemmit had actually watched us this season - he’s soon realise where we’re really at.

There’s a long ‘journey’ for you to take on the podcast yet let alone with Mowbray’s Rovers my friend! Reading between the lines, it’s as much for the Rao’s as it is the fans this.

If anyone can stomach it. The must interesting line to meet was where he says the owners ‘understand’ when we lose a few on the bounce:

9 points off the play-offs now (albeit we have one game in hand on sixth).

Amen. Lockdown or no lockdown I’d have made my way up there and packed his bags for him. If anyone comes in with anything remotely acceptable, the club should snap their hands off.

I mentioned a while ago but Stephen Warnock spoke to the athletic recently about Allardyce’s first few days at Rovers. It was straight to set pieces and defending. Who stands where, who marks who etc. At first the players were like ‘what is this guy about?’. However, he said the penny quickly dropped with them and he improved us overnight. Marginal gains and a little something called tactical nous. Mowbray hasn’t improved us one bit defensively... in FOUR years!
