You'd think a wine man would know that sometimes you need to give things time to develop - written off after 6 games, bloody hell. 

You can wait as long as you want, but a bottle of vinegar is never going to turn into Merlot.

I would love to know who scouted Leo

 

Must have been Ray Charles.

Is he a downgrade? They're both just awful in different ways I'd say

Pears isn’t at the level I’d like, but Wahlstedt terrifies me.  I’m not trying to be mean, but he drops more than he catches.

Pears doesn’t fill me with confidence, but I can honestly say I’m more nervous with Leo.

Whalsted just isn't the answer 

He might be.  If the question is “who could we bring in as a downgrade on Pears?”

Great save by Wahlstedt

Great might be overstating it.  If that goes in two feet to his left at chest height questions need to be asked.  Again.

That was an awful ball back to Wahlstedt from Tronstad.  Why would you do that when you know your keeper is struggling?

Just boot it away.

That 4-0 bet is looking good 🤣 14/1 when we were already 2 up.

Moran might not be constantly in the action, but he is making things happen when he gets space.  And Norwich haven’t figured out how to play against us with our lack of a centre-forward.  Too much space between defence and midfield for Dolan, Szmodics and Moran.

He has with the ball at his feet, but his off the ball work leaves a lot to be desired. So lackadaisical.

Every other pass seems to find a Norwich player.

Tronstad and Moran quiet. It is still a lottery at  2-0

And Adam Wharton hasn’t woken up yet.

“Catching practice for Wahlstedt”

Certainly needs it.

This is why i'm not a betting man,i'd be bankrupt if i was 😀

I’ve just had a fiver on 4-0 🤣

Better touch from Brittain and that’s 3.

I was thinking after Dolan scored this could be a repeat of QPR.  Only thing that could be a problem for us today is our own dumb mistakes.

This is gonna be a rout 🥳

Dolan looks sharp today.  Most threatening I’ve seen him in a long time.

Get in, Ty!

Mary Earps for me

Thought I’d go for the one that actually plays for Rovers, seeing as we probably couldn’t afford Earps anyway.

Think he is injured!!!

Can we borrow Alex Brooks from the women’s team?  Looks like she’s got a bit more presence than Wahlstedt.

Now there's a thought; would we win if we played 11 outfield players, and alternate between Wahlstedt and Pears??

I was wondering if we could lobby for a rule change and play nearest to tbh

Gregg has been entrusted with the war chest and he's provided the German Chris Brown and the second coming of Alan Fettis.

Is it still a war chest if it barely buys you a pack of water bombs and half a dozen off-brand super soakers?

Just now, Cherry Blue said:

It was. Chelsea hand away from body stopped cross. 

All I’m reading here is that Chelsea have two players on the pitch who are better keepers than Wahlstedt.

Time to start naming 11 outfield players and having them take turns in goal like we did as kids.

Some folk seem to have been waiting for a Leo rickett to come out with the pears stuff, it was a bad mistake but it’s his first as far as I remember. I can forgive him it as long as he doesn’t make a pears habit of it, easily our number 1

Didn’t have to wait long, though.

Tbh his command of the area hasn’t inspired confidence, so seeing him let in easily the softest goal I’ve seen since Pears threw that one in his own net against Wigan is just confirmation of my fears.

Highlights of this game are gonna be set to the Benny Hill theme tune.

Well no, of course we aren't. 

We've now got 2 suspect keepers vying for the No.1 spot.

Pears was average.  This lad wouldn’t get in the Grey Mare 2nd XI.

Everyone who lobbied for Wahlstedt to be in the team, I hope you’re happy now.
