  1. Massive win for Wales over Australia.
  2. Mowbray is arguably a victim of his own success in raising expectations OR Another way of looking at it is Mowbray has tossed away 6 points at home through his own selections, tactics, team talks and substitutions 6 POINTS Let's look at the League Table if we had beaten Charlton and Luton 2-1 instead of losing by that score 1 WBA P9 W5 D4 L0 F17 A10 Pts 19 2 Rovers P9 W6 D1 L2 F12 A8 Pts 19 Sorry Tony, but this season, next season, any season, we are not going up if Managerial balls ups are costing us 3 points in over 20% of our games played.
  3. If Steve Waggott wants a scapegoat for poor attendances, he cannot look much further than his own manager. Twice this season we have had higher than expected gates against less attractive opposition. And Tony has served up dull as ditchwater pedestrian unmotivated losing football
  4. Not predicting a result but it won't end 11 v 11
  5. Oh yes he was. He played like an absolute drain and was a significant reason we went from leaders to finishing 6th in our promotion season. Personally, I reached a point of never wanting to see him in a Rovers shirt again. I was wrong...
  6. Rovers don't half know how to turn a great weekend into an absolute bummer. Luton are easy to beat 1) You play with a bit of zip 2) You disrupt the lumps in the back four across the edge of the area by shooting on sight from distance and mixing it with crossing from the byline. We did everything by the book which reads "how to lose to Luton at home- not likely but not impossible" And as for criticism of Gallagher, it was the 40th minute before he received a cross anywhere remotely within heading distance. Criticism maybe due of Gallagher and Dack but we played in a way totally designed to nullify their threats completely. Barnsley and Wigan will be hating us for the charity for southern relegation candidates.
  7. Thankfully not much time to dwell on that abysmal performance against Luton. I missed the last 35 minutes when my feed dropped and I will miss all of this because I will be flying Tuesday night. Forest next up who have the benefit of having played and won at Stoke Friday night to take top slot for 16 hours. They are no great shakes but no weak links either. Nothing exceptional apart from being the dirtiest team I have seen in ages. The niggling fouls come thick and fast stopping the opposition from playing so if we don't have a decent ref on Tuesday, a red card from frustration for one of our players has to be on the cards.... Stoke scored twice by pressing hard up field. Forest simply had to wait for the Stoke unforced errors of which there were at least 30. In truth, they only made the balls ups in Stoke's area count- a more ruthless side would have run up a cricket score. Another lethargic outing like today will cost us heavily. No forecast because this is Rovers- play like drains and we lose, play to our potential and we win. No idea how motivated we will be. Mowbray needs to pick an XI with real desire to win.
  8. Geographic- it was available in Malta but the signal broke completely just before the Luton winner.
  9. I missed the first 15 minutes because of a phone cal but what I saw was utter rubbish. No energy, no drive, no desire. Feed died just before the Luton winner. Seriously, we really don't help help ourselves do we? Especially as there were some results in our favour in other games.
  10. Seems like we are finally having a go.
  11. My ifollow totally dead after having a good stream.
  12. Thank goodness for the double sub.
  13. 30 minutes to get 2 and let in 0.
  14. Signal has dropped so I haven't seen the Luton 2nd. Charlton all over again
  15. Every touch by Armstrong horrible this half so far
  16. To say we are low energy is overstating our performance. Luton are there for the taking but we are simply not interested in helping ourselves. Needs winding up a lot in the second half or we will lose this.
  17. We needed that! Now kick on.
  18. Finally a cross finds a Rovers head 32 minutes in
  19. Now Walton kicking for touch. Been watching too much Rugby world cup
  20. Bennett having a nightmare
  21. Very low intensity from Rovers. Thankfully Luton score early. Hopefully we wake up.
  22. Ok Blind down ( very sunny) Bottle of Maltese Primotivo Bottle of water Bag of biscuits Web sites all primed COYB
  23. No Anderson Shebby Ex PNE chairman Vs Waggott Mowbray
  24. This 100% It is sunk cost. Let's hope Ben makes a better than full recovery and comes good.
