O’riordan dropped yet McGrath keeps his place after last weeks horror show. Make that make sense. Good grief, GM is losing the plot. He doesn’t know his best side.

Even olusanya gets on the bench, wonder where a goal will come from.

No Broadbent on the bench either. Is he injured?
And Ajayi starting ????

Billy, Gotts, Close, Bailey. It is dependant on good crosses going into the box, at least Middleton will do that, Mols and Gibson have seemed to be incapable of doing that, they were wanting to be the star of the show, neither could do that recently, Bradford excepted.

Poor start from Rovers, they are all over us.

They are controlling game at the moment.

That first 5-10 minutes wasn't good, but coming into it much more. Goals please! COYR!

TLT still nervy under the high ball.

Heart skipped a beat at the end there

God we look stodgy. The plan for getting forward seems to be pass backwards and sideways most of the time then on every other Friday if it%u2019s a full moon and the wind is in from the West maybe go forward a little bit.

They are so much better at passing and receiving the ball. Their passing is crisp fast and accurate and we are giving them plenty of space to do it. Lost count of how many crosses we%u2019ve allowed into our box.

Middleton doing well but not much else to write home about.

Winning but how many crosses to the nearest 100 have they put in. Need to get tighter. Fortunate to be ahead.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Northampton
Post by: IDM on October 18, 2025, 03:55:52 pm
We’ve been out of form with crap results recently.

I’ll take a win over performance today, get some confidence back.?

That bloomer from TLT was destined for the back of the net. Thankfully Maxwell was on hand to knock the ball away.

Looked offside to me.

But we still switched off

Has ajayi been told he doesnt have to track back and defend?
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Northampton
Post by: Barmby Rover on October 18, 2025, 04:09:56 pm
Pearson's fault for their goal?

Certainly did. Deceptive angles perhaps?

Soft, as in easily lured in for that foul.

Post by: GazDRFC on October 18, 2025, 04:26:11 pm
We just look lazy. Dangling legs into tackles, half arsed passes, not looking like we know when to press. I'm questioning what's been worked on in training all week
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Northampton
Post by: IDM on October 18, 2025, 04:27:18 pm
They’re probably really good in training.!

Too easy for an average Northampton side. We were lacklustre, lacking ideas and sloppy in defence.

Think you'll find it was the blind linesman's fault

We are continually being the architects of our own downfall with poor defending. Grant needs to get into the defenders to get them defending properly. Currently we need a Sutton moment to get the team playing again

Onward and upwards
