Post by: NickDRFC on January 09, 2021, 02:06:48 pm: No Whiteman - speculation’s bound to step up a notch. Slightly concerning but he may be injured so will wait to hear before jumping to conclusions.

No Smith or Gomes either so who knows who’s going to be anchoring that midfield. Taylor also injured?

Yep looked him up, but in my defence I looked at the Rovers digital programme and they have our squad in the back with keepers numbers in green. That’s was my first mistake believing what I read!

He's frustrating to watch as he clearly has talent but making basic errors. Should have got his shot on target at least to put us 1 up. Weve done OK so far but I think the pitch could screw us given how little game play we've had
Title: Re: Rovers V TLOD Rovers

Patient, some might say risky, build up but it created the space to move the ball around and a superb strike by T-R. I said when Butler played the ball for the last time if this ends in a goal it has to be close to goal of the season.

Yep. Hodens right. The team they showed on FA Player was this...

TJJ Okenabirhie Richards

John Wright Simoes

James Butler Anderson Halliday
Balcolme

Halliday- Anderson- Butler- James

Balcombe looks a great stopper but woeful kicking

Yeah that's how the numbers looked for him when I had a look the other day, brilliant shot stopper, iffy long kick but fine short distributor. Looks much more solid than Bursik.

Agreed, if he doesn’t sort his kicking out we’ll concede a few from his kicks

Just like MOTD

Pity about the big team bias from the commentator at times

Racist ?

His mum made some racist comment calling another "a black c*nt" and he put some laughing faces to it. Not racist directly but the apps doesn't fall far from the tree, there's also the mocking of Harry Kane.

Not really. If you'd been able to watch, you'd have seen we were awful up until the goal. Even after it, it wasn't exactly a great display.
