We were lucky not to concede

Interesting lineup. I wish Garrett much success!

If I had to say there’s been a difference in TM’s and jdt’s Rovers, under jdt we haven’t conceded in added time. That was a big issue under Tony, as we regularly gave the opposition a gift in 90+3 or after. Rovers currently 5th on the table, and Sunderland 9th. Tony appears to have given some mid table stability to Sund, while jdt appears to have Rovers poised to make a serious playoff run (at last!) Rovers have 5 wins and two loses at home. Rovers have three clean sheets, and have scored 12 goals, while conceding six. On the negative side, our two losses at Ewood have been to Stoke & BristolC, no explanation for those. This game may be closer than we want to think, but Rovers need to win home games vs clubs lower on the table, if we are to be a serious playoff contending team. Travis’ loss not devastating, if a young player steps up, it should be negligible. I will say 2-1, good guys.

Whew. I didn’t figure there’s any way we would get all three points today. Great job guys

Travis’ performances have been really off lately, but with him off the pitch that really leaves us short in midfield.

It’s about to be 2-2, isn’t it? And, Travis with his 5th YC, gonna sit a couple games

I didn’t get the game today. How many Rovers fans there?

It’s gonna be tough to keep all three today. Who are our subs, Dolan, Hedges & Dack?

Bah

Travis gonna sit a couple games now

Gally, get in!!!

I’m excited about todays lineup, and looking for a positive result!

Identifying talent is often difficult, but a much tougher task is predicting how they will perform. All of us have followed sports for years, to see our team sign Tarzan, alas, who plays like Jane. Nobody on here is 100% right about everything. If we are, we’re in the wrong line of work, for sure.

My intent was to get some energy on the pitch. I like Hedges, but Markanday scored for U21’s, and I’d love to see him get a runout. Glad Sheron’s side won in PL Cup over Wolfsburg!

Too much piddling around in the back. Have to do more than punt it to nobody in particular. Dolan races around the pitch, trying to be high energy, but lacks intent. Still, he shows more life than several of our zombies. Start A. Wharton, Britain, & give Markanday a runout. Dolan. This team needs to do more than shuffle around the back.

This is our 11 vs M’bro? 😂(Other than Pears, please say yes) Seriously, our U21’s have rescued their season. Our first team is still only 3 points off the top, playing #21, even on the road, surely, we need to expect a win Saturday.

I agree, this might be a game for younger, hungry players. Give ‘em a chance. Same ol’ same ol’ isn’t working. Adam Wharton & Markanday (why not?) Meanwhile, Britain earns the start. Hirst needs to take a seat. We’ve got to expect a road win, to go with Swans & Blackpool roadies, this is vs #21 on the table, 1-2, good guys.

I don’t want to pull the plug on jdt, not just yet. Way to early to give up on him. we don’t need to be changing managers like underwear. Hirst needs to be on the bench. We have to be careful, because by now we know we aren’t keeping Dack or BB-D. It appears our rebuilding plan/project has at its nucleus Gallagher, Szmodics, Hirst, & Dolan. Ugh

Rovers’ goals at Ewood, 12; Rovers goals on road, 4. Rovers shut out on road, 5 times. Next game at M’bro, 21st on the table, unfortunately I don’t see anything changing.

Worst 90 min of football of the season.

Dack… too late?

Dack is done, and we get nothing for BB-D. the next chapter in the project is all but written.

What a clown show.

C’mon, Gally, give us… something. Meanwhile, still lolling about the back

I’ve tried to be positive, but based on what I’m watching, conceding an easy one is just a matter of time.
