Stats:
Last season was the first time Rovers ever played Fleetwood, and we only managed 1 point from 2 matches. Could tomorrow be the first win against the Cod Army?

We've been pretty poor overall. But we are a decent counter attacking side and have done that well. THEY look a threat but final ball let's them down. Our front two do link up well but we have to be better in midfield.
2nil up and poor,dont know what to make of that !

The day is getting better, the Dingles are losing 2-0.
Rotherham too, and Weds 1-0 down. Grumble time on the radio later?

We are playing poorly, but this is a bare bones team and I'll tell you what, they are all working incredibly hard to keep Fleetwood out.
I'm very proud of them all right now.
Cannot fault the effort from them one bit.

Wellens situation is very weird. Playing every week why would he want to leave?
Yep, strange. If there were a long term issue between him and Dickov I don't think he would have been starting the games he has.

Will be interesting to hear the full story, am sure it will come out. I suspect there is an issue between him and Dickov - words been had and Wellens talking with his feet in the only way he can these days.

Yep, something must have happend between the two.
Right behind Dickov on this one. Wellens has been shit for some time now and Dickov has stayed loyal and kept him in the team.
Hopefully we can shift him out as he will be on a decent wage. Shaping up to be busy deadline day isn't it?

Burton on Tuesday won't be a walk over. They are going great guns.
A loss wouldn't be bad imo considering it's the JPT.

With the injuries & thin-ness of squad we'll do well to get anything out of them.

I was talking to him after the game. He said he thinks it will be a good year for the rovers.

I would play nobody from today's 11 on Tuesday.We wouldn't be able to field a team then
If you are still away, it was really poor 2nd half

If he'd gone to Plymouth Argyle he'd have been able to wear a Green Shirt.

I don't think the competition rules allow that, dickos. Academic anyway because we don't have eleven more players unless we field half the youth team.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Stewart, Whitehouse and maybe Marosi start though.

No, it wasn't.
For sure, we were lacking in quality and footballing finesse, however the commitment and workrate were there to see. Don't forget an in-form Fleetwood really came at us, having scored 8 in 2 games.
We were second best for pure football, but won the game through hard work and determination.
Post by: drfchound on August 29, 2015, 08:24:46 pm
He only had a couple of saves to make.
The midfield lads backed up our defenders well and there was only one occasion when I thought they might score.
It was refreshing to see an away tea that didnt just play to frustrate and that is why we were able to get behind them so often.
Main and Williams were very good today as was ATS, Evina and Copps.

So Wellens has put in a transfer request eh? I thought he'd forgotten how to put anything in.
Like a toe.
Or a shot.
Or a shift.
be good to him he's obviously got "wellens syndrome"
that's why his "heart" hasn't been in it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellens'_syndrome
it really does exist !!!!!
