  1. Oh dear, every game seems to follow the same script and we can't keep blaming lady luck. Something has to change, and fast, because we're in the shit.
  2. We're playing well here, all our best stuff through Moran, Szmodics and Brittain. We all know what happens next though.
  3. Thought this myself and it does appear we visibly lose intensity after half an hour or so. However, last night I felt that heads dropped when Sunderland got their 2nd and it was more of a mentality issue. Oh, as well as some shite substitutions.
  4. Not much to add to what has already been said. Game could've been out of sight after 15 minutes with a striker, some of our play was magnificent but once the chances went begging there was an inevitability on us losing. Substitutions killed us 2nd half, Markanday nowhere near good enough, JRC very poor and looks a yard off it while you'd be hard pressed to see a worse half hour in midfield than what Garrett produced. German ale house lad looked low on quality and is obviously not fancied. Elsewhere Wharton was sussed by Sunderland's midfield after 20 minutes and lost confidence, Moran was very good - looks a player, Sammie worked hard as always but made some bad decisions in possession. The rest were much of a muchness in starting well but draining of all belief once we went behind. A word on Pickering as well, he undoubtedly gives us balance at the back but the opposition do look to expose him and he is a weak link for me.
  5. He once reffed a game I was playing in when I was 19/20 years old and took our manager to one side to ask about the quality lad up front (me). Our manager was quite taken aback, he thought I was shit.
  6. Heard he likes a drink, really likes a drink. True?
  7. Thanks GA, that's pretty much the way I saw the game too, thought we were as good as I've seen in years in the first 20 minutes but once we inevitably conceded we lost belief. In regard to your recruitment I've always rated Morgan Whittaker and he was one of your better players last Saturday. You've done well to tie him down as I'm pretty sure he'll go for decent money in the next couple of years. Glad this game was early in the season as I made a weekend of it. Great weather and a good Saturday night at the Barbican - even saw semi legendary Argyle fan Pieface having a pint at The Ship and he didn't mind having a photo with my son - decent fella. Good luck for the rest of the season, I'm pretty sure you'll do OK.
  8. Langstaff is garbage, L2 level at best and you can copy that and get ready to paste it for as long as you choose.
  9. Yep I got the same from an Argyle fan outside the ground. Said he felt he'd mugged us...in between laughing at how bad Sam Gallagher was
  10. That throw in he didn't give along with the obvious corner were 2 of the worst decisions I've ever seen.
  11. Can't believe we have lost that, never mind lost it 3 nil. We're crying out for a number 9 that lives for scoring goals because the one we have certainly doesn't. There's a lot on this Bosnian lad, cos, based on what I saw today, he needs to bag 15 goals minimum this season. 1st 20 minutes though, some of the best football I've seen in years....
  12. Arrived here an hour ago. Weather set fair and I am confident we win this one backed by 1000+ rovers fans.
  13. Twice. In quick succession. But that will be the case when you're looking to play high tariff passes to break the opposition.
  14. Wharton, yet again, looks a million dollars. A class above.
  15. Used to work with his old man who was also a ref up to Championship level. Week in week out he was the subject of controversy too, looks like it runs in the family.
  16. What a pass that is from Wharton for the first goal. Sensational.
  17. He'll be having a celebratory drink after his goal that's for sure
  18. Gets quote of the season so far when asked about team mate Adam Wharton on Radio Lancs earlier - "if he keeps his head on the ground he can go right to the top" Sound advice from the lad.
  19. There were some on here that fancied Simms....I'd have been devastated if we'd got him for free never mind 8 million.
  20. On holiday in Portugal at the minute and was delighted to find a bar with our game on live yesterday. A win I certainly wasn't expecting but one, on the balance of play, was well deserved. My thoughts - Carter and Hyam dovetail really well and I always thought they had the measure of the West Brom forwards Travis - superb vision for the first goal and very good without the ball. Sammie - what a grafter. Sets the tone all over the pitch. Tronstad - I like him. Gets it and gives it, no fannying about and can play on the turn. Leonard - great finish and tireless. Could (maybe should) have had a hat trick but poles apart from the lacklustre Vale. JRC - decent but my God he was knackered 2nd half and the introduction of Brittain there really shored things up. Markanday - nice finish but looks lightweight for me Dolan - some nice touches, a good outlet at times but ultimately lacking with the final ball. Very good leading the press though. Pickering - was targeted throughout but handled it well. He won't play against forwards as ineffective as Asante every week though, he's a bad un. Pears - solid enough, could do nothing with the goal. A.Wharton - some shoddy stuff but some truly world class stuff. What a player we have. JDT - how good was the celebration at the end? Continues to over achieve with the players at his disposal. Really happy with that, West Brom will be up there at the business end this season so it's a good 3 points.
  21. And a pisshead. He's probably in the Priory.
  22. Agreed. I'd say Jobi is the best EFL pundit on Sky just ahead of afro Don and the chin Hinchcliffe.
