Post by: dknward2 on August 13, 2019, 07:15:24 pm
Grimsby have put out a mixture of reserve and youth according to their fans so should have a good chance of going through
Title: Re: Grimsby Vs Rovers
Post by: RobTheRover on August 13, 2019, 07:16:28 pm
Strong side. Would love Ennis to open his accout tonight.
Title: Re: Grimsby Vs Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 13, 2019, 07:27:08 pm
Yes, we would like all of them who haven't had much game time to show what they can do.
Title: Re: Grimsby Vs Rovers
Post by: ian1980 on August 13, 2019, 07:30:15 pm
A good opportunity for Crawford, Blair and Kiwomya to show what they can do having not featured too much so far.

Also chance to have a good look at Ennis and John and see what they can do
Title: Re: Grimsby Vs Rovers
Post by: dknward2 on August 13, 2019, 07:32:18 pm
Hope kiwomya can step up and show that he can be a real part of the team this season

Good afternoon everyone. Make no mistake Grimsby will want to put one over us. I predict a draw in normal time and us winning the penalty shoot out.

Three shots by Whiteman so far, all off target but a promising development.

Shots on target but blocked by a defender don’t count as on target in the stats either.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 13, 2019, 08:41:26 pm
Text is so unreliable. Didn't even report an early effort from Sadlier.

Barnsley in the same boat. All the play and efforts. Also one down.

In hindsight we should have kept JM until a replacement striker was signed, and then let him go. Most clubs would not let their top striker go, before getting a replacement. Now we are struggling to score goals.

DM has said that he is determined to get the PL striker on loan but how long does he let it drag on.
What if his club make a very late decision not to let him come to us?

There has to come a time when he changes his thoughts to the next man on his list.

Les we could have to sign a free agent on wages larger than Johns we did not do that. We sign a up and coming striker with transfer fee and wages we haven’t done that. We loan a strike but we aren’t doing that yet. It’s a shambles by the club.
