Title: Rovers v Tranmere
Post by: Dabby on February 07, 2023, 06:55:38 pm
Three changes to the starting XI as Tommy Rowe returns, Charlie Lakin makes his full debut and Luke Molyneux comes back into the side.

Not a shot on goal again in the first half, this is appalling. Getting fed up of hearing the depressive way Rovers are playing.

A threat on Tranmere's goal we are not.
Title: Re: Rovers v Tranmere
Post by: NickDRFC on February 07, 2023, 08:33:32 pm
We are just unutterably shit. Another half where we’ve been dominated at home. Another half where we’ve looked bereft of ideas, craft and guile. Another half where we’ve not had a single shot on target. Another half where we’ve not looked comfortable at the back. Another half where we’ve gifted possession time and again and been unable to string more than 3 or 4 passes together.

The one positive is that we’re not losing. The fact that’s the only positive, playing at home against a side that’s 14th in League Two, shows just how far we’ve fallen and how low our shit-encrusted bar is. It’s a really, really depressing time to be a Rovers fan.
Title: Re: Rovers v Tranmere
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on February 07, 2023, 08:35:51 pm
Rowe is type of player that could make a difference in the final 3rd. Probably our only player you’d trust to do something. He’s playing centre half.

We are trying to run before we can walk and have managed to break our legs in the process

How can you blame Brown for a player who cannot pass a ball 5yds to one of his own players.
Title: Re: Rovers v Tranmere
Post by: Lesonthewest on February 07, 2023, 08:43:27 pm
'Performance wise we are there', really. 'Dominating possession', really. No shots on target for the umpteenth time, at home, to a side in 14th position. It's just nowhere near good enough. Hurst, Anderson, Rowe & Maxwell all putting a shift in, but Mollyneux is a complete passenger yet again. Positive is we have a clean sheet so hopefully can build on that second half, here's hoping.
Title: Re: Rovers v Tranmere
Post by: normal rules on February 07, 2023, 08:44:22 pm
The telling comment of the half.

The tranmere keeper has seen more of the ball than the entire rovers team.
Title: Re: Rovers v Tranmere
Post by: Donny Exile in York on February 07, 2023, 08:44:37 pm
Not one shot on target again first half. Ferguson knew it, you have to play two up front in league Two. Trouble is decent strikers  cost money so we only have one.. and he hasn't scored for 8.5 games. Agard can't last 45 mins.. Lavery jury put but similar to Miller and Griffiths can't even match Agard who's legs are gone.
