Evening All,
Watching from home tonight with a beer. Flight prices just a little bit expensive to get over!
Have a cracking night everyone
-
In normal circumstances I’d be there, but my recent heart attack and hospital appointment this afternoon has put paid to that Sky Sports+ for me
-
Health reasons stopping me too, not my health though.
My wife is having a tough time just now so I can’t justify going.

Best wishes to your wife

Best wishes to you all, life can be tough eh! I'd have loved to have gone but unable. No sky sports here, but I can post a freebee link if I find one that is working well.
Prediction - has to be 7-2 to us. One more tick on the bucket list of balances in the world that's needed :clapping:
-
Yeah crikey best wishes to your wife and also Filo.
Fingers crossed we don’t get battered, and don’t over exert ourselves, the league is way more important. Just listening to football heaven and some Barnsley supporters are not happy with last nights result? I hope if we do lose heavily out fans act a bit better.

Best wishes from me as well to Filo and Hound for your wife. :thumbsup:
Hope we can all have a boost from a performance tonight - I was at the 7-2 and we played well - I was mighty proud of my team that night
-
No Sharp not even on the bench a bit surprising unless he picked up a knock, just hope they give a 100 percent that’s all can ask
-
Juddy
Don’t let Steve near the beer as you know he falls over after two of them. Say hi to Vonny from me.

TBH I thought the same before the Boro game and that turned out well.

Will do Andy but he’s had four already
-
I think this is great by Grant, give the players who got us here the chance again, I feel it would be a big kick in the teeth had he played the normal league team.
-
Best wishes to all Rovers fans,wives and family. These are the days we dream about. Im trying to watch a dodgy stream,and will post info when I find one for all the exiles.

Haha good luck!
-
Spurs put out a really strong team and we’ve gone with the second team, eeeek.
-
No choice on the sky sports app to watch the game only one on there is port fail vs Arsenal
-
Ok found out it's on 404 so watching on sky go app
-
I’m in Dublin it’s full of Pittsburg and Minnesota chuck ball fans, hopefully the Rovers can give them a good education in proper football
-
Good chance
-
Gone a bit pear shaped :-(
-
Can’t understand McCain’s selection here, complete second string back 4?
No broadbent, who’s been influential
And 4-3-3 when we play 4-2-3-1 all season?
-
Really struggling at the back. No contest at corners
they’re bigger and stronger.
-

It’s amazing how long housework, shopping, washing, cooking etc., takes isn’t it? I’ve been learning on the job for a long time now. it makes you realise how much you took for granted for 50 years or more.
-
Is Olusanya actually at league one level?
He looks amateurish to me, not following up on scraps, poor first touch, never where he should be? Complete contrast to Billy
-
They’re big buggers Spurs. A goal that won’t come off 9 times out of 10 and an own goal. Lawlor has made some good saves. Spurs clearly a different level but we’ve had some chances. Unlucky for Bails. A goal and we are right back in it.

You would expect younger players to be a bit quicker in reaction and that has been a general failing in the front line.
-
That’s a very positive spin Mark!
-
Ajayi not in the game at all.
-
Hope Mrs Hound picks up hound.
-
That’s a very positive spin Mark!
It’s footie. Anything can happen Dave! Esp with Rovers…
-
Hope your better half is well soon, Hound.
-
Ajayi not in the game at all.
Agreed, I thought Mols would come on at HT.
Nonetheless, we've started the second half well but you feel Spurs could take it up another level or two at any point.
-
We've been much better this half
-
We have zero threat up front.
Ajayi and Olusanya are just awful

Gimme Joe Ironside every day of the week and twice on a Sunday over him.
-
They are an embarrassment both loans curtailed in January
-
Agreed Ajayi and Olusanya are very poor. Let’s see what Hanlan can do… Still prefer Joe.
-
according to the BBC match stats, we hit the post/bar. Who was that?
-
Bailey
-
Bailey hit the post.

Bailey. It was pushed onto the post by the keeper.
-
Thanks, I'm not surprised..
-
Spurs well over a minute arguing with the referee here. Get a fu.cking card out.
-
We’re not having much luck.
Close has been good again.
-
Close aught to be given a chance on sat at luton
-
Close has to be ahead of Crew.
-
Crewe already few half hearted passes.
-
Crewe already few half hearted passes.
He's looked half-asleep every time I've seen him play this season. Frustrating as we know he has the ability to make a positive difference.
-
Crew ffs
-
Fair scoreline to be honest
-
Well. No disgrace losing to 3rd in the Premier League. Last goal was a lazy pass by Crew. None of the loanees have done themselves any favours.
-
That's Crewe done for me not good enough get rid grant can't make a simple f**king pass
Boys done well at least they tried still need a striker grant have a word see if spurs have a spare 5 million pound player left
-
That last goal would break your heart. Our free with 10 seconds left. S chance to put it in the box and somehow they score.
Crew really poor tonight
-
42,473 in attendance....
-
Europa league champions, versus last years league two winners
We wasn’t blown away
-
Played some tidy football in places and if one of our chances had gone in it may have been different. Bit pissed off they scored right at the end there... makes it look like a thumping - when it was far from that.
-
We can be really proud of that performance tonight.
Olusanya not good enough so far and he should have put that header away.
Crew just kept giving the ball away, I don’t get the hype about him.
Overall though we will benefit from that tonight.
-
3-0 full time, last goal makes it look worse than it was, not sure why we took it quickly instead of putting it into the box. But not humiliated at all and gave as good, at times as we got. Need to be much more clinical in front of goal though.
Not sure at this moment what Crew is bring to the team, gave the ball away far too often.
COYR
-
Well. No disgrace losing to 3rd in the Premier League. Last goal was a lazy pass by Crew. None of the loanees have done themselves any favours.
I got a lot of stick for criticising Crew. The fact is that he has not seemed to want to commit anywhere near 100%. Even Osayuno and Ajayi could not be accused of that.

Crew really poor tonight
Close should be a sub instead of Crew
-
Crew nowhere near at last seasons level of performance
-
Lawlor did well.
Hanlon should be ahead of Olusanya now.
-
Crew nowhere near at last seasons level of performance
Always thought that PK was the better player

He's been terrible, I get the feeling that he thinks he is better than he is.
Poor attitude
-
The way we passed the ball in the second half was encouraging.
-
Proud of the team tonight, thought we stood up to them & played some really good football. Both full backs ran their nads off. Thought the 3rd goal flattered them a bit. Don't know why Mollyneux decided to play it short with seconds left, especially to Crew who looks miles off it, just strolls around with no urgency & giving the ball away. Loads of positives to take from tonight though, our movement & passing is improving all the time.
