Title: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: roversdaft on March 03, 2026, 07:39:06 pm
Saw the lights weren’t on, and door to the Lucky Pint was locked with 20 minutes til kick off.

I’ve opened up, and pulled through the pumps ready for a good night hopefully!

One game from Wembley

Looking at the team Stockport have put out Vs the team we have should be seen as an easy Stockport win, however the 2nd 11 or cup drfc have seemed to fair better than our league team so hopefully it can happen again.

Come on rovers do us proud and get to Wembley

I’m yet to see a side with worse throw in routines than Rovers.

Absolutely abysmal

Wall was shit, ball went through at head height. No movement at all to block the shot.

Middleton and Gibson are on the wrong sides. It's been a very poor start though

We just don't have any 'men' in the team. Just a bunch of naive boys. From no one making a tackle in the embarrassment of a second goal on Saturday. To no one jumping in a 4 man wall. It's just pathetic

Don't like to say that this early but don't think we have put 3 passes together. Stockport far superior and look like they want to win

We're lucky it's only 0-1.

Post by: big fat yorkshire pudding on March 03, 2026, 08:24:03 pm
So far we've been terrible really, too many poorly performing players. Their midfield is hugely on top.

Need to change things NOW Grant or we will be out of this competition pretty soon.

Like watching a decent league one side play a mediocre league 2 side which I guess it is really. We've really not been anywhere near good enough

Watching some true Yorkshire grit now...

Flicked over to Emmerdale.

Wtf do we do in training ?
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: big fat yorkshire pudding on March 03, 2026, 08:48:38 pm
The worst midfield and attacking performance I've seen that, none of them offering much. I would make at least 3 subs.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: IDM on March 03, 2026, 08:48:53 pm
Maybe this will be a game of two halves again, it needs to be..
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 03, 2026, 08:49:04 pm
How many subs are we allowed in this competition? It sounds like we have to bring on the maximum allowed at half time if GM is serious about wanting to get to Wembley.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Filo on March 03, 2026, 08:49:11 pm
Glad I didn’t waste my time going to watch this shit, we don’t look like scoring, this will end up 3 or 4 for Stockport
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: bpoolrover on March 03, 2026, 08:49:33 pm
Bailey needs to come on for Robinson, Hanlan for sharp and mols for Gibson
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Jersey Rover on March 03, 2026, 08:50:30 pm
Not sure how but we’re only one down. Believe they don’t look that hot. Let’s see McCanns appetite for this game. Should be at least 4 subs at half time for me.Be a different game completely
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on March 03, 2026, 08:50:56 pm
Wtf do we do in training ?

We can't even get a shot off when it's the most obvious thing an attacking player should do. How can you be caught in two minds??? Maybe Gibsons second mind is that of a refuse collector or an insurance salesman?

It’s as though we only want to defend. is there no attacking strategy?
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: dknward2 on March 03, 2026, 08:53:01 pm
Stockport look about four yards quicker to everything.

Zander keeping us in it, Maxwell our best player up to now, we need to get running at these and take a shot.

Apart from the 3rd minute shot by sharp don't think the Stockport keeper has done anything he could have sat in the away end.

Other teams are going to play us and want to play rush keeper as they have nothing to do.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: monkeytennis on March 03, 2026, 08:53:34 pm
We just look so weak and slow. Not just physically but mentally as well. Always behind. Always slower to the ball. Always missing the opposing player running in behind. Always receiving the ball then taking a moment to decide what to do with it. It’s a worry that we don’t seem to have got any better over the last few months.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: redarmi66 on March 03, 2026, 08:55:35 pm
With the benefit of 45 minutes of hindsight. Its the wrong team selection. Although expected it was when i saw their line up.  Lucky to be still in it. Make the changes and we have chance. Otherwise we are out.

Changes needed Gibson has been non existent

Subs should have been made before HT really. We’re lucky we aren’t 3-0 down or worse.

He's been non existent for 98% of this season.

Mols Bailey Hanlan & Senior coming on
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final

Well Bailey and Mols on is a start. Fingers crossed for this half.

Surprised maxwell came off he was one of our only decent players
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 03, 2026, 09:08:41 pm
Hanlan on, that will change nothing, senior coming on might.

It only takes a second or a bit of magic to score at goal,come on Donny !
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: GazDRFC on March 03, 2026, 09:30:14 pm
Can't see where a goal is coming from, we just look blunt and clueless. Grants 'We're just focusing on ourselves' in every interview is just looking stupid now. We don't have a game plan or any considerable quality, so what exactly is it we're focusing on?
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 03, 2026, 09:30:21 pm
You are never out of it at 1-0. Just one good shot, COYR!!

. Poor crossing

According to the BBC match ticker we just had 4 shots over a 5 minute period.

Yet no one is commenting on those chances.?
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final

It was always going to happen with that team selection
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Filo on March 03, 2026, 09:55:00 pm
A first half team that was never going to get anything, we threw the first half away with that team selection
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Barmby Rover on March 03, 2026, 09:55:43 pm
Just not good enough, a shame. Now to concentrate on staying up.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Jersey Rover on March 03, 2026, 09:57:44 pm
Yep agree with first half selections but we have some dead wood to clear out.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: ScillyRover on March 03, 2026, 09:59:35 pm
Very disappointed in GM’s starting team selection. Made it an uphill battle for the second half. Better thereafter but it was always going to be difficult chasing the game against an organised Stockport side.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Stockport Semi Final
Post by: Bessie Red on March 03, 2026, 10:07:15 pm
Hanlan on, that will change nothing, senior coming on might.
Probably our best player 2nd half, caused thwir CB's some problems.

What a wasted  2 hours that was.... very unimpressed with the team overall.
