I've been reading that for 3 or 4 minutes and still struggling! Where are Senior, Sterry, Faal? Presumably the formation is:

Jones
Nixon Bailey McGrath Rowe
Broadbent Craig Close
Molyneux Ironside Waters

Taylor back on the bench is a surprise as well!

With three suddenly missing I am wondering if there is a bug in the camp?

I am old enough to remember a really good player with QPR called Lazarus - played in the same team as Rodney Marsh IIRC  :lol:

The “remembering”(when old) is certainly praiseworthy as I well know -  and I had forgotten him, but now you remind me, yes, I do remember him!

It will be interesting to see the formation and how we play.
Is that 7 of the starting line up Mc has brought in?
Most mangers never have that luxury.
Let's hope it works

They ran away with the league that season, and won the League Cup as a tier 3 side and we were relegated (the season John Nicholson was killed in the car crash that also injured Alick) - but I remember us holding them to a deserved draw at Belle Vue  :scarf:

The other possibility is Moly at LB and maybe Broadbent higher up

This match seems to be taking some time to get going. Stadium sounds quiet, no posts on here. Those of you in the ground - is it really that dull?

American ref just called a time out!

Yes. We haven’t got going. Lack of movement from us, we are so static.,
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport

No zip no movement.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: Redroy on January 13, 2024, 03:25:18 pm
We look a bit like we are trying to figure out what's going on. Bit disjointed with 5 changes and three of those being new lads.

Should have scored there!!

A bit worried when they got the first corner and he facked off for a hotdogs and bottle of Bud

No keeper made a save yet?

Post by: RoversInSpain on January 13, 2024, 03:44:20 pm
 Jones seems to be coming for crosses, 2 good catches.
Moly needs to be careful, booked for kicking the ball away and is getting very frustrated waving his arms around.
Rovers been better last 15 mins

Finger tip save from a Moly cut in and left foot curler

Point blank save from Ironside 5 yards out sooo close

Done ok. Hopefully go through the gears in the second half.

Like the look of the 3 new lads
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: DonnyOsmond on January 13, 2024, 03:53:51 pm
From what I've seen of Craig prior to today he looked more of a 6, picking the ball up from the defence and moving it forward, definitely think he'd be better there today and Close further forward.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: redarmi66 on January 13, 2024, 03:54:11 pm
Grew into it a bit. Should be in front.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: monkeytennis on January 13, 2024, 03:54:28 pm
Very low energy from Rovers other than the last ten mins or so.

Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: ScillyRover on January 13, 2024, 03:55:25 pm
We started out very incoherent but have gradually got a bit of rythm and been very close to scoring. Waters fluid in his movement :) and working his socks off, Conor solid and assured and at first glance will make that position his own, Craig still finding his feet.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: coventryrover on January 13, 2024, 03:59:00 pm
Grew into the game.   Need to learn to up the tempo sometimes.    Fairly equal game but we have shaded the possession, terrortory  and chances.

New players are a positive.

Wide midfielders a tad sloppy

Not exactly a high energy game, nobody seems to be standing out in terms of performance. It will be the first goal that decides sort of game, let's hope.

No shot on target in the second half, this is not looking good.

At least Hurst attempted a shot, better than most of the game.

If the stats on the bbc are correct, this was our 10th attempt and the 5th on target.

What point were you trying to make.??

Feared the worst with Biggins and Hurst on the left, they crossed unopposed for their winner
