I’d hope it’s similar to the set up on Wednesday but given the likelihood we’ll see a lot of the ball and they won’t be throwing men forward we don’t need the 3 centre halves. Imagine Bailey might be playing a bit deeper to cover that, though.

Addled in the head and supports any opposition to Rovers, he should be thrown out, but he suits R.Sheffield's narrative for Rovers.

It's so frustrating watching Rovers at the moment, we just can't put a consistent patch of play together.

Ironside a passenger in this one. (he'll score now I've said that).

We are only looking good when we punt it long, I hate saying this but perhaps we need to go long get the goal and play from there

Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: Dutch Uncle on December 07, 2024, 03:41:01 pm
Judging by the comments regarding TSL kicking, it would seem we are against the wind

He should be managing Real Madrid with his insight

Against the wind. Good save from TSL to stop it being 2-0. We have been poor. It’s bloody freezing in the south stand but at least I’m not listening to Mickey Walker

I'm dreading the inevitable result... 1-1 or 2-0 to Cheltenham. They've done it to us before

9 Shots none on target 4 not on target 5 blocked. 61% possession yet we are not scoring again

As for Mikey Walker he should be no where near our games as co commentator
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: ScillyRover on December 07, 2024, 03:55:02 pm
Do the players ever get instructed to shoot from a position on the edge of the penalty area and immediately in front of goal? Times many this half they opted to feed the ball out wide rather than having a crack on goal.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: DearneValleyRover on December 07, 2024, 03:56:43 pm
We look lethargic and there is a huge gap between attack and defence
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: Barmby Rover on December 07, 2024, 03:56:54 pm
I just hope they get a damn good kick up the a**e at half time, this is not good enough against a mediocre team, there needs to be somebody taking a shot every now and then, no shots on target through a full 45 minutes is not a side who wins championships!
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: Barmby Rover on December 07, 2024, 03:59:16 pm
Rovers are currently 3/1 against winning this match, in a game where we have scored for the opposition, Skybet obviously think that Rovers couldn't hit a barn door from 5 yards too!
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: RoversInSpain on December 07, 2024, 04:01:01 pm
Positive is we are not 1-3 down.
That was a horror show.
Wind with us in 2nd half, but looks like Kettering’s cow patch has caught up with a few players.

Sterry letting the guy cut inside and get his shot off. Didn’t McCann earlier in the season make a big thing of saying we had to stop that as it was happening too often.

I think coming from behind twice in this game, keeping going ahead at fleetwood as well as coming from behind to win in the cup, says all you need to know about team spirit.?

My! walker drives you up the wall. Thankful we got a draw but our performances at home leave a lot to be desired we need to be winning these.we seem to go one nil down then it’s try to get back in the game.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: Alan Southstand on December 07, 2024, 05:45:43 pm
Just got back and priority was a warm bath! Terrible conditions, awful inconsistent referee, a linesman who may as well stayed at home and a very underwhelming performance from us!

Why knock it long in those conditions? First half started ok but they score a very lucky goal and we loose our way for the rest of the half.

I’d love to know what Olowu’s thinking was when ducking under their shot at goal. Also TSL rooted to the spot and the ball is no more than 2 feet to his left side? And that was straight after we equalised. Criminal.

Lack of control of the ball and a lack of intensity from a few of our players mean we throw yet more home points away.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Cheltenham
Post by: Petche on December 07, 2024, 10:08:12 pm
We gave them far too much room at the corner they scored from! We got a major warning from the first corner moments earlier. Don't we learn!!?
Frustrating again.
