How on earth is it delusion. We are favourites to win the match, if we shouldn’t win it, then the word ‘should’ is almost null from our language.

Rovers pretty big favourites for this, considering it’s a long away trip (just to back up Eddies comments earlier in the thread). Should be winning this one, and I’d be happy with 3 points from Coventry and Plymouth away. 2/1 away at Norwich (33% chance) 3/1 away at Burnley (25% chance) 6/4 away at PNE (40% chance) 11/4 away at Coventry (26% chance) 5/4 away at Plymouth (44% chance)

I'd probably have Carter as favourite in a straight sprint vs Brittain, who is always exposed defensively against anyone with a bit of pace, and huge fav vs JRC in a sprint. That being said, I'd rather Carter slot inside to CB and Hyam drop to the bench, but I can't see that happening.

I can’t remember the last time we actually did look fit though. We never seem to have ‘athletes’ in our squad

Good, because it’s Plymouth and Derby we’ll be more worried about come the end of the season (obviously never good to see Burnley winning)

I like to throw as much at Swag as the next guy but Pears was signed through nepostism on Mowbrays part and we’ve since signed 2 different replacements over the last 2 years yet he’s still here throwing the ball in his own net.

Change rested for dropped and yes that is correct

Hopefully that’s the nail in Pears’ coffin - HOW IS THIS GUY STILL OUR #1

When was the last time you watched Rovers and thought we had a really fit team with good physical traits? I can’t remember the last time we looked like we had more energy/stamina than the other team or loads of pace or loads of strength/fight. Probably the league 1 season for obvious reasons

Dom Hyam is bloody useless. I’d take any combination of Carter, Faz, Bath over him

Turns into fucking Buffon every time we play them too the prick.

I can’t remember the last time we looked this bad defending crossed / passes into the box. Its dreadful viewing

Wow, that’s as bad as you can imagine.

Gueye on a HT. Midweek away match pissing down with rain, feels poor judgement to not start him. Weimann off and play Ohashi off Gueye.

Pears’ distribution is actually horrendous isn’t it. Wasn’t there a time when JDT kept him in over Kaminski for allegedly being ‘better with his feet’. Comical stuff

Yeah perhaps, even with a better ball I’m not sure Weimann had the pace to make it count. Something we seem to be lacking all over the pitch

Big chance that - really poor ball from Ohashi behind the man. Turning into an entertaining match though, nice and open

Nice spell from us at last. Cantwell coming into the game a bit more for a few minutes.

Eh? They’re just playing Football, we’re soft as shite - have been for years

Another free header. We have Hyam, Carter and Bath on the pitch - absolutely no excuse for how soft we are

Thanks Opta

Not sure soft-Dom fancies it in the rain

Looked very saveable, but regardless it was shocking marking. No idea why Gueye isn’t playing. Launching it to the small non-9 didn’t work against 11 men in our last few games either.

Ouch- the officials strike again - Norwich scored off this

Your reply/argument to a comment earlier in the thread was simply just a laughing emoji - pot, kettle, black
