  1. Douglas and JRC would be excellent as wingbacks in a 3-4-1-2. Excellent technically, but watching them defend makes me very nervous.
  2. Hoping to see something special from Douglas today if he's starting. He's been a bit of a disappointment thus far. I feel Kaminski will become very important to us having a good season, massive boost to have him available. No easy games, but this is the sort of game we should be winning if we're serious about playoffs. I think Luton will struggle to contain Arma, Brero and Elliott today.
  3. Just my opinion, but I don’t know why things need to be so black and white as far as Venkys and the ‘protesters’ are concerned. There was some clearly shady dealings going on during the Kean era and the overall management of the club was shambolic. People were rightly angered at what was going on and the efforts that the likes of Glen et al put in to shine a light on it all and expose it for what it was has to be commended. I think it’s to everyone’s great credit that the penny finally dropped with the owners and Kean was eventually sacked, ties with Kentaro were cut etc. However, I think what has to be recognised is that Venkys haven’t just turned off the taps or sold up just because they were the target of a lot of hatred from the club’s supporters. They’ve actually made efforts to rectify their past mistakes by investing in our academy, covering our losses, funding transfers and putting the right people in place to run the club (finally). To me that speaks volumes about their character and their intentions. I’m not expecting many on here to agree with me on that point and I’m sure many don’t even agree that the right people are running the club now, but for me I see a major difference between then and now. I’m in a completely different boat to most on here being an overseas fan, but this is the most connected I’ve felt to the club in a long time. I am not 100% convinced by Mowbray, but he is the right sort of manager that I want at the club. He’s also brought in the ‘right’ sort of players to the club. Seeing a back four of academy players in JRC, Lenihan, Wharton and Nyambe a few weeks back was a great feeling. We are light years away from the days of Kean, Shaw, Danny Murphy, Orr, Duffy etc.
  4. Brilliant block from Wharton there.. he's had a decent game.
  5. This is as good a performance as we've had this season IMO, but no goals to show for it. We are so much better with the spine of our team back in Kaminski, Johnson, Rothwell and Armstrong. Can't fault any players' performance so far (other than Evans for the 2 minutes he was on). Arma a bit greedy, but given his scoring record you can forgive him.
  6. Well, the good news is that we're back to playing our best again and creating chances. The bad news is that we still can't finish them off.
  7. I don't think Evans is a terrible player, but enough's enough. Too many injuries in his time at Rovers, he needs to go.
  8. 2 great saves from their keeper so far. Should be 2-0 already.
  9. We look good so far. The main thing I've noticed is how much better we are defensively with Kaminski in goal. He hasn't done anything spectacular yet, but he just looks in full command of his area and has popped up with a few saves and catches that have looked solid. QPR's danger man is Adomah who has JRC beat for pace, but JRC has done well so far to keep him in check. JRC will need to be at his best today.
  10. I know .. not blaming anyone. Just bemoaning our current luck. Hope the lads can put in a performance tonight and pick up 3 points.
  11. 6 changes. No way we can keep a consistent positive run together with this many changes every week.
  12. I’ve been listening to the audio commentary but have turned it off now. Sounds like we’re crap and at most we will hold out for the draw.
  13. He's the worst rated player in the league right now. He's made 1 save in 2 games. He should be getting dropped if he even has a subpar performance today.
  14. https://www.efl.com/broadcast-schedule/ - it's not showing on iFollow tonight. This game and the Bristol Away game are on Sky, so not showing on iFollow.
  15. The game is on Sky, so won’t be showing on iFollow ... at least not for international viewers.
  16. It’s ridiculous that we have our 2 star players, first choice goalie, best defender, and best midfielder all injured for this game. After such a promising start we have been absolutely decimated by injuries. I don’t know how you can get good performances out of a team with that many key players missing. At this stage I just hope we can stay within touching distance of the playoffs until we have most players return.
  17. We gave up after the 2nd goal. Only Elliott tried to make something happen. Mowbray said to judge him after 12 games. Well, he needs to at least get 2 wins in the next 3 if he wants to get a passable grade.
  18. Gallagher has offered absolutely nothing since coming on.
  19. Woodman is probably the best keeper in this league. Him and Cabral (who we faced on Tuesday) are probably the 2 I rate the most.
  20. Just feel empty after that. Not good enough. Regardless of your feelings about the manager or the players - 1 win in 5 is unacceptable for a team that's meant to be chasing a top 6 finish.
