Billy Waters with his non stop harrying & chasing could have caused a headache for the Grimsby defence but in fairness who would you drop from that starting IX to accommodate him?
Title: Re: Grimsby v Rovers
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 17, 2024, 02:57:54 pm
He still could, he might well come on as a sub.
Title: Re: Grimsby v Rovers

Might be a minutes thing with Waters. Biggins will play the same position and look to get in the box.

Wtf…Rotherham.

It’s been all Grimsby since we went 2 up, and it probably should be 3-2, they missed two sitters really.

We just need to play football, that is how we scored the goals, not hit and hope that we seem to be doing now. Midfield has struggled since the goals.

Their penalty was 100 per cent NOT a penalty. The lad tripped on his own feet and it was outside box anyway. We may have been under pressure in first half but that was definitely no penalty.

Just back home from my local pub where I was surrounded by Leeds fans, as usual.
I was sporting all my Rovers 'leisurewear', also as usual.

I even got the opportunity to remind one of them of our play-off win at Wembley ...... then I quit while I was ahead!

Just seen the video on twitter, definitely either fell or tripped himself up, and outside the box
