Today’s team
COYR
-
Hopefully JJ just being rested..
-
Kinda begin to expect the rotation now with John, Richards and Fejiri starting, other than the enforced Taylor for Sims.
Not expecting a classic, not expecting champagne football but very much hoping they do the basics well first and foremost. See what happens from there.
-
Yea be interested to see if midfield struggle due to lack of movement up front JJ s mobility creates so much space. Come on Fej, here’s your chance
-
Feji needs to take his chance today with starting , its frustrating as he can play really well he needs early balls across the box or just in front of him to run onto
-
Hopefully JJ just being rested..
He’s started 3 games in 11 days since his return in a role with a lot of running and battling involved, he’s definitely due a breather.
-
Hopefully JJ just being rested..
He is on the bench so won’t be injured.
-
Hope today’s the day for fej good luck to the lad. :thumbsup:
-
Who's this on comms with Robbie?
-
No taking of the knee again in an away match.
-
Ennis looks to have bulked up a bit.
-
Good to see Joe Wright back as well.
-
0:1
-
Fej ... Yesss!!!!
-
1-0 Fej.
-
Great move, great start.
-
First early goal we have scored this season.
-
Just got back home - good timing!
-
Get in!! Lovely move that. Also was started by Fej holding the ball up and laying it off. Great goal.
-
Great work by Taylor Richards for the goal
-
Great work by Taylor Richards for the goal
And by Cam.
-
Nice one Fej.
-
0:1
First again, Mickey! Well done!
-
Chrome is working a treat as advised, so a good day so far..
-
Astonishing news from Leyton Orient. Crawley 1-0 up and Watters HASNT scored it !
-
How we doing since we scored?
-
Nice one Rovers , another 2 would be nice now
-
They aren't a bad side, not sure how they're bottom, but we look reasonably comfortable so far. Hope that doesn't jinx it...
-
How we doing since we scored?
Quite well.
Good periods of possession and looking threatening.
-

Cheers, MM!
-
They are having more possession.
-

Many thanks, hound!

Pen for burton
-
Really stupid tackle that, another penalty conceded...
-
1:1
-
Just gifted that lead away

What a stupid tackle

Rush of blood there by T-R

They are having more possession.
57%:43%to Burton, according to BBC

Why do some people think Taylor Richards is a double barrelled surname? Taylor is his first name.
-
Reece James at fault for me been a few loose touches from him today

Poor game by his recent standards today. Get us a goal second half and all is forgiven though!

I didn’t think it was a double barrelled name.

If you say so, can’t say I’ve ever seen initials with a hyphen in between them though!
-
Penalty Rovers!
-
1:2
-
Pen for us.
-
2-1. Ben.
-
Two stupid tackles for two stupid penalties, but at least they've evened it out. We need to tighten up a bit in the second half.
Okenabirhie playing well.

Think what you like.
It was obviously quicker than typing Taylor Richards, or even Richards.
-
Decent half. We look good going forward today, a lot of quick balls that Burton struggling to deal with.
As others have said RJ looks off it though.
-
Far too sloppy that half we lead but really do we deserve it?
And why wasn’t the Burton player booked for our pen, there was a hint of DOGSO with that one
-

Agreed about Fej.
Probably why the thread is a bit quiet.
-
That pitch is shit.....or we are having a well below par performance... Vernon and Powell got the measure of our right side, needs shoring up this next half.....
-
Slightly confused - BBC says Taylor Richards and Butler booked. Bet365 says Halliday and Butler booked. Anyone clear that up?

It was obviously quicker than typing Taylor Richards, or even Richards.
Yet longer than typing TR, like people normally do with initials like JC, JM or AB.
It’s not the end of the world to admit that you made a mistake, a lot of people seem to think it’s a double barrelled surname which is why I mentioned it in the first place!
-
Played ok there but think there’s more to come from us. Okenabirhie looks a bit sharper but Whiteman & James uncharacteristically wasteful at times. If we come out firing we could win by 3 or 4 goals.
-
Right. Back to where we should be.
Everyone keep calm. Ha ha.
I'm off to hide behind the settee, or maybe do a bit of ironing!
-

That’s why we’ll miss Sims!
-
Burton should be there for the taking if we can improve our passing. They are a poor team and you can see why they are bottom.
-
Decent game so far. Feel we've got a few more gears to go up into.
Well done to Fej, did well to get into a good position for the goal.
-

But not as wasteful as Richards.
-
Fej having his best game of the season and this isn’t just down to the goal and penalty. Holding the ball up and winning free kicks. Much improved
-
Probably needed a rest?
-
Slightly confused - BBC says Taylor Richards and Butler booked. Bet365 says Halliday and Butler booked. Anyone clear that up?
Sky scores saying Richards and Butler BUT it flashed up on my notifications Brad Halliday instead of Richards, thought it might have been for arguing or foul language when pen given,but now looks like some stat man made an error and they altered it now.

Jeez Nick, you can be a right nit picker at times.
I have told you why I typed T-R and why on earth would I not know it isn’t a d-b name?
-
We went a bit more direct in that first half, with loads of long balls-obviously a tactic, not pretty to watch though.
James and Whiteman have not been their usual self, a lot of poor control.
Fej has looked a bit more up for the challenge today, and is making a right nuisance of himself.
-
It was definitely Richards booked, which begs the question of why their player wasn't booked for our penalty. Similar challenges.

Is the game that dull boys??

I’ve never in my life seen initials typed with a hyphen between them. Not once. So I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that’s what you meant. But fair enough, I’ll leave it there and take it back.
-
Whatever Nick, I am not bothered anyway.
-
We don’t seem quite on it this half
-
Sloppy start to the second half, need to get some control back.
-
1:3
-
Yessss!!!!
-
What a goal!
-
Brilliant turn, run and finish by T-R.
-
Well taken from Richards
-
Great strike T-R
-

Done! 1-3!
-
Get in be nice if we could get another help the goal difference up
-
Can I ask Nick and Hound who they think scored our 3rd goal?

Great goal.

Beat me to it though hound, I couldn't get it to post quick enough lol
-
Top-Run by T-R there. Truly a great goal.
-
League table looking good now
-
Whiteman not though.
He is limping and not moving too well.
-
Before today I’d never seen initials with a hyphen between them, from now on on this forum I probably won’t see them without one! What a time to be alive.
Great third goal and came at a time when we hadn’t seen a lot of the ball. Gives us a bit of breathing space and hopefully we can push on with a goal or two more.
-
Has Watters scored yet...?
-
League table looking good now
Could look even better after Tuesday, eh foxbat?
(Sorry, I’m looking too far ahead!)
-
Nick, in the words of the song mate, let it go, let it go.
-
Has Watters scored yet...?
Err...no!
-
Young Hasani on now in place of Smith.
-
Good to see Hasani get 15 minutes here. Would like to see a bit more of our youngsters off the bench when games are winding down.
-
Time to concentrate on the game . Very unusual to find Rovers supporters bickering isnt it ;)
-

Agreed, and 15 mins is a chance for some good time but far from winding down time in my book. Shows he is capable, esp with Copps on the bench.
-

Presumably tbis means Whiteman has run off his injury??
-
Has Watters scored yet...?
Err...no!
#
Oh yes he has!!!!
-
Fej doing a very good job today, now working up and down the wing.
-
Has Watters scored yet...?
Err...no!
#
Oh yes he has!!!!
I love Panto Season!
-
F-O gets my nod for MoM today.
-
Max Watters scores :boxing: :boxing: :scarf:
-

Err...no!
#

82 minutes. :facepalm:
-
Watter load of rubbish...
Agree - Fej has been great today.
-
I see Swindon have equalised against Charlton and Wigan have leveled against Fleetwood....
-
FT
-
Yeah Fej has done well today. His best game for a while. Lokilo though...
-
Great little run
-
Not the prettiest against a poor Burton side but job done.
-

Careful, you get accused of making people a scapegoat when you point out not so good performances.
-
Tuesday very exciting now.
-
It’s a shame about Lokilo. He obviously has talent but not showing anything really. Hope he figures it out.
-
A good win today, excellent goal from Richards. Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
OK who fancies being Christmas No. 1
-

It's an odd one. It was a signing everyone hoped might come off and it caused excitement when it did and was seen as a real sign of intent. Still early days though.
-

I’d rather have the No 1 slot in May

Why not both top at Xmas and never leave it

Was it? I was happy he signed but let's be realistic, we saw him play for 20 minutes last season. He has not played much senior football in his career and has a lot of development still to go, so we shouldn't expect him to be a world-beater just yet. It could still come off yet and as you say, it is still very early days for him.

Yep, agreed RA.
Too many times our players get called out as rubbish far too soon.
It would be nice if fans didn’t get on players backs.
-
Just for the record, I wasn't being critical of Lokilo. I was just pointing out the huge disparity between the excited expectations and the fan's reaction to his brief appearances to date.
-
If we don't play well and still win, that a good sign of a promotional winning side, just got to keep it going starting Tuesday.
-
He could learn loads from Josh if we were able to keep him for he needs to learn a golden rule that Sims himself points out .There is no value in breaking down the flanks if you do not find a man with your final cross .
-
Moore likes him, thats good enough for me.

Good morning Nick.
To tag on to yesterday’s chat, you may not have been paying much attention to the posts on here over the past few months because there is one poster who often refers to Silent Majority as S-M.
Just saying.......
