  1. What was the afters? Closed the window as soon as the whistle went. Sending Walton up for that corner was so pointless I actually like it.
  2. Aye, them and Cardiff in the play offs as it stands. Forest have had a shocker since the restart, they were well in the driving seat for 5th let alone 6th.
  3. Swansea 4-1 up now. What a night.
  4. it is poor form. One thing for the odd old school timewasting but literally it's every turn and pick up a yellow for it. If the extra balls are there for safety, then why are they allowed to get away with pilfering them?
  5. Lovely prolonged shot there of Mowbray in 'Man waits for slightly delayed train' stance. All whilst his side are going relatively all guns blazing for an equaliser. Inspirational.
  6. And to think we could have been 3 up inside 10 minutes
  7. Feel sorry for Carter there. Chalk it up to experience!
  8. Ah, that's why Nyambe never normally crosses...
  9. I was being slightly facetious, aye, we obviously have a very decent academy still and our starting line up and bench today is a testament to both that and the fact we do play them, I said it more out of the frustration that we haven't used these last few games to properly bleed in the youth (Johnson, Graham etc starting, but even something like Hilton or Fisher vice Jayson on the bench), plus Mowbray's previous with youngsters like Raya last year and Nyambe this week.
  10. Indeed - I don't think any of us are hoping that's the case, but given the relatively short turnaround before next season, Mowbray's allergy to the youth, the fact that if Brighton have kept even half an eye on him they'll not want him back, and the state of our transfer policy I do wonder.
  11. I did say it to take the piss a while ago but I do wonder if Walton's continual inclusion - especially today - is an indication he might not be going anywhere...
  12. Felt sorry for Graham through all this - age looks to have finally caught up with him this season but if he does leave this summer, which he sadly should, he won't get the send off he deserves.
  13. 5 changes: Out - Tosin, Bennett, Downing, Samuel, Graham In - Carter, Nyambe, Rothwell, Holtby, Brereton Pleased for Carter and Nyambe back where he belongs. Hopefully with a bit of pressure off and a clear head Brereton can do something today.
  14. October apparently.
  15. Will say I think EB is a genuinely nice bloke in a sport dominated increasingly my egos and mercenaries. I'll criticise him with the rest of us on here but replying to him just to tell him he's dreadful is too personal - you have to separate the individual from their job (however poorly executed). That, and you also end up with absolute belters wading in telling us he's the Second Coming. Funnily enough, these people never seem to be about when someone else gets torn a new one - see the replies on our Twitter timeline when Gallagher or Brereton make a hash of something. The former got annihilated when that chance v. Leeds went begging. One thing that does rile me is some of those who leap to the defence of the present set up (in all its guises) to tell us to keep quiet and just support the team. The greatest disrespect you can have towards anything is to not have standards for it: just keeping quiet and nodding along with everything is piss weak indifference, not support. I get annoyed at a hell of a lot of things with this club and a hell of a lot of those on the field playing for us, but that isn't me giving it large, it's because I care so much.
  16. Absolute farce. At best the only ones who can hold their heads up tonight are the ones who played the final ten minutes, JRC maybe who put in a reasonable shift for a man a tackle away from being sent off for 89 minutes (really wish he'd have converted at the end as it may just unlock that little bit of something else inside him [same goes for Nyambe]). The rest of them - no bollocks, no bite, no drive, nothing. I'd be ashamed if I put in a shift like that at work. Same old, same old. I think the final minute summed it up best: Walton launching it straight at the opposition man a mile from anyone else, Bennett pissing about with the free kick and the collective despair of wondering what could have been if the ball had fallen to someone else. Downing at False 9 is just the cherry on the cake, it's something you'd do after a few beers on Fifa with your mates. No excuses now: Johnson, Graham (that breaks my heart), Mulgrew, Samuel, Walton etc all must have played their last for us. We're allegedly skint, with nothing to play for and more youth than you can shake a stick at festering away week after week. We might as well try and salvage something from this dismal conclusion to our season.
  17. Laughed at this. If I didn't I'd probably be crying on the floor. What a mess. You genuinely never know what'll happen next with Rovers these days.
  18. Looking better, which is something I guess. Shown more in this 5 minutes than we have in the previous 45. Anyway, iFollow has been particularly awful tonight with the visuals. Showing unremarkable replays over and over whilst you can hear the match carrying on on the audio. Missed the Millwall goal and had that corner gone in we'd have missed that too. Not expecting the world from it but bloody hell it's so amateurish at times.
  19. Was thinking this, just Arma's shot inside the first few minutes is all I recall.
  20. Been completely outclassed in the few minutes leading up to that goal. Got a nice audio commentary of it though whilst iFollow showed about 15 replays of a replay...
  21. What a goal Arma!
  22. That was fun while it lasted.
  23. Got lucky there, how many chances did we need to clear that?
  24. Just a thought - maybe we are continuing to play Walton as we intend on having him back next year...
  25. Bennett, Rothwell, Holtby and Gallagher out for JRC, Downing, Samuel and Graham... What did I say, same revolving door of players. Right players were dropped at least, sadly all bar JRC were the wrong ones to bring in!
