  1. Since day 3 in Ranchi it’s been an unmitigated disaster but jimmys 700th wicket definitely a high point. 9 to go past warne, 101 to go past murali, 300 for his 1000th test wicket.
     

    We are 8/9 in the standings, and have lost I think 6 from 10 lost, with lost test at Manchester. Maybe, just maybe, this “Bazball” stuff is pure shite, and things like playing time, absorbing pressure, occupying the crease, keeping opponent in the field, the things that test cricket have been based on for 150 years are still important. Well at least to me. Maybe not to the yooof who need music and fireworks

    I don’t want to sound too dramatic, but surely if we fail to get 4 points - as an absolute minimum - in the next two home games, then we’re as good as down given our run in, right?

    No!!! Remember we played alright vs an injury ridden Newcastle in midweek. That’s like another 10 points.

    We are basically a one-man team. He is a hero, a giant of a 5’7” man, truly a fucking legend of this club at this stage.

    I’m not disagreeing and he is undoubtedly the best player in our team but the sad thing about it all is he probably wouldn’t make the top 100 best players I’ve seen in a rovers shirt. That’s how far we’ve fallen.

    There is also the use of subs. JE has, since he arrived, used 5, 5, 3, 3, 3 and 5 subs and in the Cup game they were quite early.

    Also clubs employ loads of staff to guage players fitness and workload and amend training at an individual level to that players needs.

    Managers and coaches have been using the scheduling excuse for decades.

    I am not an elite athlete nor ever have been.

    But at uni e played Wednesday and Saturday every week. We won, lost and drew. Played well in games and played badly. There was never a point where on a Saturday where we said yeah played baldly today must be tired legs from Wednesday. Probably more the 40 pints between Wednesday and Saturday.

    Off to watch Clitheroe today. They played midweek and most of the squad will have been up and down ladders for 40 hours week this week, plus training. I’ll guarantee you if they lose they won’t trot out the tired legs excuse. But when it comes to professionals the little darlings have tired legs.

    It’s a convenient excuse perpetuated in the game, whether they believe it or not, because it’s convenient to keep in the locker for rainy day whether your citeh or rovers. IF we lose and it’s because we genuinely feel “ leggy” the first act Monday should be sack the fitness coach. If we even have one.

    I don’t get it. Tell players they’re tired and they’ll play like it. 

    It’s a bullshit argument. No professional athlete should have tired anything 3 full days after their last exertion. If you’re the wrong side of 40 and spend all week sat at a desk while consuming galllons ale, maybe.  

  6. For me he’s a shit keeper. Wigan away and Ipswich this season are up there with the worst individual performances I’ve seen in a rovers shirt. Did he have a good game yesterday - absolutely yes. Is he doing any more than you’d expect from a professional in the 2nd tier of English football - in my opinion he falls well short of what should pass for an acceptable standard for a keeper.

    Only positives I can take from the awful recent events are that more and more of our fanbase are seeing what a devious ncnt Waggot is and how he's a major player in Rao's merry go round 

    Cockroaches always scurry for shelter when you shine a light on them. The more lights shining on swag the less places he has to hide.

    Of course the Venkys will just appoint the next useless devious cretin. Whether it’s Jerome Anderson (unofficially), shagnew, shabby, Hunt, now this toad, but hopefully one day will stumble on a proper leader.
