  1. Surely he'd rather come to a mid-table second tier side in England than a mid-table second tier side in Germany?
  2. No time was added on for the ref injury, five additional minutes of play was indicated and five minutes were played. We conceded in the fourth of them.
  3. I bet nobody on the planet can give a good answer for this. Mowbray can't. Chapman can't. God can't. Madness.
  4. He does not consistently try hard, that's his problem. His not tracking back time and time again is leading to more and more issues. He's our defensive midfielder who can't be bothered with the defensive bit. He's been crap since his injury, but he's been back six months now. It's no longer an excuse.
  5. Oh, he's never going to be a world beater but he can be a big lump making a nuisance. That said, sometimes he has shockers and yesterday was one. The main issue we have is that TM spunked 5 million away on him and now we have nobody else to play there, especially as TM refuses to think about BBD as anything but a left-sided attacker in the Rashford mould. So, not as if we have too much choice...unless we play Dolan as a central stiker...
  6. A better option than that is sacking TM before half nine this morning...
  7. She couldn't. For whatever reason, Radacanu has been in the hottest of hot streaks these past three weeks. To not lose a single set in your entire first US Open is ridiculous.
  8. Get Sturridge in for crying out loud. He must be desperate to try and restart his career. Who wouldn't have replaced a clearly shattered (and clearly having a shit game) Gally with him for the last 15/20 minutes yesterday?
  9. Burton 1 Gillingham 1 Described as "lively" today by the BBC. Why have we sent a winger who can cross the ball on loan when we're finally playing a big lummox up front? Mowbray Out.
  10. The only surprise was that we can still be even slightly surprised by Mowbray single-handedly throwing away a win. I think Luton probably deserved a draw, especially as we should have been down to ten men for most of the match, but that doesn't excuse TM brainlessly throwing away what would have been three fortuitous points. Why, after his formation and selection had led to us being 2-0 up after two thirds of the game, did he so recklessly and needlessly gamble with a completely new system? All momentum was instantly reversed, we were suddenly on the back foot and moving to five at the back bizarrely made us LESS defensively secure than when we had a back four. It invited pressure from Luton and, ultimately, cost us two points. It all stems from that. We wouldn't be rounding on the players so much if TM hadn't messed it all up for them and from that brainless choice onwards the players no longer felt secure in what they were doing and it was all so depressingly familiar in the end. Gallagher through the middle is still the way to go as it's better than him messing up on the wing. That said, he was awful today and should have been taken off before the end. The pathetic attempt to run down time at the end was dumb, incompetently managed and led to the equaliser. If TM was finally to give Gally a run down the centre, then why the hell would you send a winger like Chapman off on loan during the last year of his contract when we could just then suddenly do with someone who can cross a bloody ball?!? He should have come on today and Dolan could have run around up front for the last quarter of an hour. But no, he was apparently "lively" according to the BBC while having a good game for Burton and us no doubt paying at least half of his wages. Why when we have such a small squad is he being sent on loan? Who the hell are we developing him for as it's blatantly not us who will benefit from this cretinous decision... Others who were poor were Travis who is defensively turning into an absolute liability for the team. Seriously, watch him whenever he should be tracking a player back. He just saunters back and lets them cause havoc. It happened against Boro and it happened for both goals today. Nyambe needed to do better for the first, but if you look he's having to cover someone else's player while two Luton lads were left alone on their left side, exactly the position Nyambe was supposed to be covering...all while Travis strolls back instead of keeping tabs on the scorer and why the heck all three of our central defenders had been dragged wide...?!?!? So...as bad as our capitulation was and the performances of some of our players, we wouldn't be having this conversation if TM hadn't screwed up. We'd have said that the likes of Ben, Nyambe, Travis and Gally all had bad games, but at least they didn't cost us. They only cost us because TM threw away the two points with his startling tactical ineptitude. Nothing will change while he's leading our club. And nothing will change while Venky's own us. Oh, and 170 quid for a MyRovers season ticket is proving an absolute rip-off too...so, who'd be a Rovers fans under this bloody collective circus of clowns?!?
  11. Can anyone clue us in on what happened in the first half? Quite a few of the regular posters probably didn't get to see anything. How did we play? Is Gally really up front or did TM get bored after 35 minutes and tell him to hug the touchline? Does Nyambe look fit and should we take Lenihan off as a precautionary measure?
  12. I don't even get that screen. It literally has nothing going on that I can click on (I do get the right-hand side though).
  13. Cheers Miker! I actually find it hard to be critical of TM when he just, you know, plays players in their actual positions. He doesn't help himself at times. He's hoping the smaller squad size will keep on working for him/us. And...Ronaldo scores. Could be worse, he's my FPL captain this week.
  14. It's complete bullshit. We're paying the price of a Young Adult season ticket yet never going to the ground, no need for staff throughout the year to help us or stewards to guard us. We just want to watch the game online. It used to be a pain when it was 79quid a season but since increasing the price by 125% then now...It's just not good enough.
  15. FFS. I can watch us concede after a millisecond against West Brom but I don't get to see us smashing Luton....... Can someone post the actual formation? Who is up front?
  16. Think it was 170 quid I paid so that's one hell of a month's splurge if it was!!! It's fine...I'm just watching Ronaldo instead. Not that he's done owt yet. Tell you what, that Saint Maximan is a heck of a player...
  17. Yes. Had all the games live until now. I'm outside the UK, btw.
  18. TM on his way out?!? Hmmmm....I'll believe it when I see it. I suppose if people keep saying it's gonna happen enough times for long enough that when it does happen they can say, "See! I told you so!" Not advisable to hold one's breath under these owners, however... Don't worry guys, once Venky's realise that they've been badly advised for...oooh, 10, 11, 12 years or whatever it is now, they'll pot Tony and start to run the club in the way it should be run.
  19. He's sounded fed up all year. He'd have loved a pay-off and could be on his allotment right now rather than having to go into work every day. He'd love to be furloughed on full pay for no work, most people would!
  20. You know...it takes some doing to bring in two players from the European champions and for it still to be utterly underwhelming.
  21. We could have sneaked into the playoffs that season if he hadn't cost us so many points. We'd not have won them mind, but still...
