G Somerset Rover

He was infuriating last night. I genuinely don’t think he made one forward pass all night. He was easier to read than the Beano…get the ball, hold onto it, turn inside, pass either backwards or sideways. I think I’ll just go to bed next time I see him line up at right back, let alone wing back where he simply has to contribute going forwards. I’m still seething at JDT this morning. So many basic errors with his line up and system, not to mention his stubbornness not to change things much earlier. It’s frightening how bad he got it.

That only scratches the surface. Throw in the last couple of seasons too and it would no doubt make for extremely depressing reading.

It was exactly the same under Mowbray though too. I’m sick and tired of it. We may as well all pack up and go home as soon as we fall behind.

Yep. I said exactly the same the other day. I’ll never truly ‘believe’ until we find a way to get back into matches. Until then, we don’t stand a chance.

You can. Hirst and Vale are way, way off Championship standard. If Hirst really was our main CF target in the summer, then the scouting department all need firing.

4 mins only stoppages seemed a joke. Awful performance though. I’m so sick and tired of our inability to get back into matches. It’s so bloody frustrating.

We’re never ever going to get another point from a losing position again are we?! It’s pitiful.

Does Travis know he can pass forwards?

Awful. Absolutely dreadful. 1 down. We know how this ends up. Goodnight, Rovers.

It's gonna be a long old week for you pal when you realise it's Monday today!

If we are finally able to ever do that, then I’ll start to believe. Until then…

Which is probably why they’ll somehow get out of it - ala Hull last season. As you say, we really need this to go ahead.

Two of the bottom three to come next (if Coventry pull their finger out). This is Rovers, of course, but such a massive chance to go into the WC in the top two. We may well get another shot at a January promotion bid. I would say we won’t be as silly to f*ck that up once again but who am I kidding! Anyway, let’s enjoy tonight. Few beers to celebrate!

Wharton’s pass was just superb. He is going to bring in some serious money for us one day. I just hope he’s in a Rovers shirt for a while yet.

Get in!! Love a good George Graham win.

I would imagine they’ll acclimatise better than many of their European counterparts though.

For those looking forward to watching it, who are people's tips to win it? Hard to look past the South Americans (Brazil and Argentina) for me. Weather will help, whilst the Brazilians have the best squad IMO. Argentina are unbeaten in 35(?) games - so they'll be a tough nut to crack for anyone and have some real match winners.

I don’t know how we keep grinding these out, and I fear that can’t continue. But tonight, who cares. Get in!!! 🍻

A Wharton the future GOAT.

Beaten them four times on the spin - without trying to pull a Merce, there should be nothing to fear here and hopefully we’ll have the 3 points come 5pm! COYB.

Jesus wept, missing out on talent like that due to being a footballing dinosaur. Thank God he’s out of our club.

Great 3 points! I genuinely thought we’d fold today so I’m delighted to see us take the victory back down to Ewood. May have been covered on here, but why were Wharton and Gallagher withdrawn so early? Sounded like both were having great games.

Inexplicably dropped from the squad for a few matches. Kid needs first team games - he’s a player.

Darragh pulling a Duffy. Good lad.

A goal away from home. Jesus Christ. Edit: apparently a Lenihan OG haha
