Title: Bristol City v Rovers
Post by: Mr1Croft on January 21, 2012, 06:12:25 am
Can't make it today (God knows why I am awake).

As much as we need the points I can't see it being anything other than a draw...

Here's hoping I'm wrong.

I think even if it is a draw that would bring our losing streak away from home to and end and mean we would be 3 unbeaten in the league in a row. The biggest run of form we will have shown for a while.

Would mean we'd need 26 points from 19 games to make 50 so another inch closer

If we win I think getting pissed tonight would need to be heavily considered

He`s every right to have a go at the officials, Tom Biltcliffe said the tackle on Copps that put him out of the game, half an our later would have got a card! half an hour later Beye commits a bad tackle, red card issued1 Now by all accounts Beye`s red was deserved, but we are getting a raw deal from officials!
Title: Re: Bristol City v Rovers
Post by: godlike1 on January 21, 2012, 03:51:13 pm
this is as much the players fault as the managers.  they have no back bone away from home and cant cope with the slightest amount of pressure

radio off, blinkers on, miracle hoped for but not expected

finally a massive well done to those who have paid to go and watch the pain once again, you dont deserve it and the players should pay you your costs back out of their wages
Title: Re: Bristol City v Rovers
Post by: Barmby Rover on January 21, 2012, 03:54:19 pm
A sending off for the home side would have put a different complexion on the game, however it didn't happen, we were under a fair bit of pressure and it has cost us. What we need now is to put some effort into fighting our way out of this, even if it doesn't work. A second half with some thoughtful football would make a difference to the way people look at the match.

Whilst your unwavering support for Saunders is admirable, if he sends out teams who keep putting in these gutless, spineless performances every time we leave Doncaster you can't criticise people who question whether he is the man to keep us up.

Also, nothing more annoying than people going mad on here about a game they aren't at or haven't been to. I'm not there today either but notice I'm not banging on about what a disgrace we are when I've nothing to back it up. The home form is good at the moment and I'm confident we've still got a fighting chance of staying up, and even if we do go down we've been here 3 seasons longer than I thought we would be.

It's a completely different set of circumstances. We were rock bottom when Saunders came, we needed a leader, someone with passion, and someone with experience to get us out of this situation. And look what we got.
I don't think people realise just how crucial staying in this league is for us financially. JR has even said himself we simply cannot get relegated due to the financial implications it will have.

It doesn't matter who is in charge, we do need to keep winning, we have an extra point against us with the GD we have. These big losses away from home don't help. The game against Hull will be interesting, can we play Plessis rather than Diouf? Will he do a similar job? Can we keep all 11 on the field next time please?

Not enough to judge the performance no, I've been at enough Rovers games to know how poor the refs we get tend to be, and from what I've heard (again, not there so can't back it up) the same could be said today. If their guy gets sent off for the tackle on Copps it's a different game.

Much as it ain't Saunders' fault (and it's not - I'm not a Saunders basher), there's nothing to say that Dean will be able to dig us out of League One. Nothing.

Assuming we go down (and it's almost certain we will now), the squad we have left won't be peppered with the experience we have now... Which doesn't bode well at all.

It's very worrying, no?

People said the same when Clough went from Burton to Derby and he took a while to settle in but they are doing alright now. I think he just needs time, something which most people on here seem unprepared to give.

Also, nothing more annoying than people going mad on here about a game they aren't at or haven't been to. I'm not there today either but notice I'm not banging on about what a disgrace we are when I've nothing to back it up. The home form is good at the moment and I'm confident we've still got a fighting chance of staying up, and even if we do go down we've been here 3 seasons longer than I thought we would be.


How about two nil down and a man sent off?  or is that not back up enough?


What does that back up? Nothing more than beating Leicester, Barnsley n southampton


We are further away from safety and closer to being relegation certainties than at any time during the SOD era.

Does that back it up enough for you?


Think you'll find we were 7 points from safety after sods last game. :facepalm:

Remind me again how many games we left in the season with SOD in charge to close that 7 point gap and how many Saunders has left.

Therefore its a worse position however you try to dress it up.

At Last! Better. This sort of performance is what we needed in the second half, better football, controlling their attack and now a goal. well done, lets see what happens now....

A draw would be massive here if we can pull it off if only to deprive Brizzie of two points and leave them within reach.

3 points? Looks like 5 to me...correct me if Im wrong of course.

Oh...and granted, I made an initial error...but the way I see it he's took 20 games to close a 7 point gap to a 5 point gap....one point every ten games eh? Stunning stuff.

It doesn't look good, and the \"experiment\" is not producing the goods, it tends to be the original players who are dominating the MOM and goal scoring, maybe we ought to look to them more often, unless the newbies are completely outclassing the opposition. Beye is one of the best, yet Locky has been very good and certainly steadied us today after he came on. Choices for Saunders eh?

Did u wait until the game finished before trying to say I was wrong? It was 3 points when this discussion started.
If you won't to be all doom and gloom then so be it, I don't, think we have a great chance, with our home form alone. We have 10 home games left we win 7 of them and we will stay up
