I really hope the club are looking at the ACTUAL numbers through the turnstiles and not just the attendance figure stated as that is the real sign of fans feelings

It's not in the past, he is still here (how I don't know)
When is the correct time to give up with the Alfie posts? Or do we bang on about it everything he scores.

Millers closing down has been really good, caused their donkey centre half to kick it out three or four times.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: monkeytennis on April 22, 2023, 03:55:02 pm
This is what it’s come to - I’m sat here thinking ‘we’ll it’s not totally horrific ‘

Miller tbf is working hard he’s just not very good.

The rest do seem to making an effort but again we just aren’t physical enough or confident enough.

The small number of times someone has actually ran forward and tried a shot you can see that Newport are ripe for the taking but as usual the end product isn’t there.

I predict us being out of puff by about 70 mins at which DS won’t change anything and we’ll throw yet more points away. I really hope I’m wrong.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Newport
Post by: Scooter on April 22, 2023, 03:56:48 pm
Playing ok but nothing spectacular. Defending ok, nothing much in the final third. Hurst is the stand out for me so far. Ravenhill on a yellow so half to be careful.
Faulkner has been a bit sloppy. Molyneux anonymous. Usually story of us being a bit lightweight.
Bogle is their stand out player but Williams and long have contained him so far
Mitchell has had little to do

Not really. A header over the bar. Bogle controlled well, turned but then poked in wide of the near post

Post by: Cramby10 on April 22, 2023, 04:03:33 pm
Well, I said I was staying away, but the fact the missus wanted jobs doing and out of morbid curiosity I’ve come today. Nothing has changed. It’s just so mind numbingly boring. I can’t get behind this. We may be winning and Newport are awful but they’re better than us. Most of the play is in our half.
The stadium is empty. Talked to a mate who said his kids have refused to let him buy them ST’s!!!
This is not a good place to be right now.

What a finish that is!

Poor in midfield though, trying to pass through people mindlessly, happened a few times so far.

Not a DS apologist BTW - I just support my club, if he goes or stays I’m not fussed. The one thing I do want is a manager to have the right funds to be able to clear the team out.

Yes it was Copps. Sounded like he was a distance from the mic and a lot of what he said was inaudible but I did catch him saying you can’t suddenly rip the long term plan up as a result of a string of bad results. I think most fans would disagree with him. There were other bits I picked up but in view of the fact it wasn’t that clear what he said, I’ll desist from quoting. He certainly did sound really pissed off though.

I think that was just a time wasting exercise hoping for as many people to leave the west stand as possible
