Tonight’s team
COYR
-
Same team 2 games running :thumbsup:
Not had that since? Anyone know? It must be a long time.
-
Ref announcing he’s a prat early doors....
-
Decent enough start by us.
-
After the slight worry about the condition of the pitch after all the rain, it looks to be very good.
-
Not many of us on here tonight then?
-
Social distancing
-
One nil down.
-
Shocking from Butler there
-
That was some pass by Smith just then to JJ.
-
God, we’re just dreadful defensively.
-
F.F.S. :(
-
God we're dreadful full stop.
-
Shocking from Butler there
Not shocking from Richards to give the ball away that lead to the goal then?
-
God we're dreadful full stop.
According to hound we made a “decent enough start.”
-
Shame that after such a bright start, looks to be plenty of effort though.
-

We did wilts but just before they scored I came on to post that Blackpool were starting to get on top.
I changed my post to say they had scored.
-
Fay coming off injured.
Bogle to come off.
Shame that coz Fay was looking quite sharpe.

Ah, got it, hound!

I’m watching the Luton vs mullers game just loads of hit it long with the odd neat touch end to end stuff with no end product.
I bet against us today so even if we lose should get something back

I've watched a fair bit of the championship the couple of months or so - surprised me how most of the back 4's at the bottom end all seem to be 4x centre backs. Massive advantage at set pieces but like you say it doesn't add much in open play.
-
This is back to the usual shit we’ve had this year
-
This is bad. We don’t have any ideas and no motivation to attack at all.
-
Yep, back to the utter garbage again!
-
Slower than a slow thing in the build up, if this keeps up I may well be fast asleep before the final whistle. Still in it though at 1 nil
COYR
-
I don’t think we have played that bad just nothing much as usual in final 3rd
-
Need to get TR in the game more.
Has he been told to stay on the touch line or something.
I know we are playing 4-4-2 but Blackpool are plating with 3 central midfielders and TR needs to get more involved helping Smith and James.
He did it on Saturday at Rochdale and he needs to do it tonight.
-
hound did you notice TR not TJ. :woohoo:
-
Get the ball up the pitch, then turn around and pass it back and back to Jones. So damned frustrating!
-
Their commentator said if he had to do a midway report on Donny ,he 'd say okay in midfield , no idea up front.
I wouldn't argue with that.
-
The fact that about 70 per cent of our passes have been in our own half sums it up. It's not lack of effort this time though we're just not very good. My personal theory is that we have too many left footed players.
-
Shocking defending for that goal. Butts tried to play him off side and it failed.
Anderson was square and it was then easy for them. A right mess.
Lokilo again looking bright tonight.
-

And non of them look comfortable with the ball at their feet.
-

Not enough movement. TR needs to come and ask for the ball. Too static on the touch line.
James and Smith man marked so have to play it back.
-
Same old same good at going backwards. Most teams we play seem to have better control than us and we lose the ball a lot. Blackpool in charge of game and we will be lucky to keep at one goal. Some of Jones throw outs are very near to being intercepted.
-
I didn't think that was as bad as some are making out. I'd like to see us getting Lokilo on the ball more, particularly if we can get him in either balls beyind the full back. TR looks lovely enough too, don't think they're any better than us tbh
-
hound did you notice TR not TJ. :woohoo:
I did Camps.....and I even looked for the edit. :chair:
-
Lets not forget the opposition tonight, they are well up for this, and are not giving an inch of space to any rovers player.
We have goals in us, and i'm confident we will score tonight.
-
The way we're playing is a great advert for sales of next season's season tickets!
-
I'm astounded by the number of times we have a header, and it goes straight to a Donkey lasher, yet when they head the ball they find a tangerine shirt, only once have they headed it to one of our players. Don't they practice finding your own men with headed balls?
-

I agree spud, there have been flashes of good stuff from us.
We have snatched at our shooting opportunities though, a bit more composure needed.
Some people are happy to have a moan though.
-
Greaves on for James in the second half.

I observed this a couple of months ago ..... left footers only seem to have one foot and they seem predictable when on the opposite side..
-
That was a red card all day long - no intent for the ball, and high feet to above the ankle :turd:
-
Greaves always looks up for a scrap and we’re looking better since he came on for James.
-
Bogle? What’s the point?
-
Looks like the Pool manager is taking off anyone who gets a yellow card
-
I’m Surprised we’ve not brought Bostock on yet
-
Think JB is out of favour.... how's the game going now?
-
Fantastic save to deny Sims.
-

Good man-management?

Presumably doesn't want anyone banned during the playoffs
Sensible

Possession 60%:40% to us.
-
Another terrific save by Jones, that is about four tonight.

Yeah, makes sense Bedale R.
-
Blackpool battering us just now.
-
Jones gets my MOM again today.
-
2-0.
-
And that's game over..
-
I am lost for words with our defence, lucky to be only 2 so far. We have had one good change all game.
Blackpool are a good team, full of good players.
-

2 yellows = 1 match suspension - would that be at the weekend, i.e. not playoffs?
-
If Greaves improves his ball control and passing he'll be quality. His tackling and ability to read and intercept is already decent, the fouls will reduce with experience.
-
We conceded a goal there from potentially our best break forward of the game
-
hahahaha how did Bogle miss that 50p for a head :blink:
-
Please leave Bogle and Richards in Blackpool !
-
They nearly scored 5 or 6 times in the couple of minutes before they scored. Bogle with a header a few yards out and it turns into a great defensive header.
-
It's bad when you lose 2-0 and your best player was your keeper. :laugh:
-
Leave Richards?? seriously, the second highest goal scorer, and the only bright spark within the team... he needs help around him, he knows he can't trust anyone else with the ball.
-
Please leave Bogle and Richards in Blackpool !
Leave the lot of them for me.
-
Embarrassing watching Bogle.
-

why?, outfield players havnt been up to much, and the keeper has played a blinder to keep the score down?
-
I think that I would sooner we play with 10 men than let Bogle on the pitch.....hang on a minute, ...we are only playing with 10 men when he is on the pitch.
-
Please leave Bogle and Richards in Blackpool !
Leave the lot of them for me.
Greaves deserves a bit of credit, he did well today.
Jones very good again.
Horton, kept up his rate of improvement.
-
Boggle offers nothing and in all honesty, looks like he can’t be arsed.
-
Another pathetic showing, roll on getting a new man in, that can motivate players
-
Is it just me who starts laughing when Joe Wright gets the ball. Well thank god that's over.
-
Couldn't we leave him on the beach with the rest of the donkeys?
-
Bogle did not look interested.
Pinching a wage at present. He is very capable of being a player but has no desire it seems to be one.
Not acceptable.
-

Hows he going to motivate Bogle.
-
Looking forward to not seeing this dull football anymore after this weekend. Hoping we get someone who likes fast paced attacking play.
-
Anyone who continued to drop 10 quid on ifollow for the away games, I salute you!!!!
-

He is not a full back. Not comfortable it’s obvious.
-

Had no choice, paid for it at the first date, never offered a refund
-
Well, I just about managed to stay awake and what am I rewarded with a lacklustre display with what looks like a team that is already on it’s holidays. Thank God that Sunday is the last game of the season and we can well and truly put this disappointing last few months to bed.
I actually feel sorry for Copps who instead of going out on a high will be leaving on a whimper with a team since the end of Jan thats shown little bottle and very little fight.
Back on Sunday for one last day of hope

-
Jesus how we need a leader on & off the pitch, it's pitiful how we play back to defenders at 2 down against a side who need a point for the play offs. I actually thought we started quite brightly with some decent passing, endeavour & movement, but it just descended into misplaced passing, creating nothing, & show pony's losing possession. Roll on Sunday afternoon when this all ends. On a positive AJ Greaves looks a really good potential first team player, a new Ricky Ravenhill.
-
Thought we did quite well seeing as we played with 10 men for almost 70 mins.
Bogle decided he was not interested. If you play with no striker it is going to be very difficult.
Jones, Horton, Greaves and Likolo all did well and augers well for the future as all our players.
We need 3/4 proper misters signed this summer. Striker and 2 midfielders for a start.
Seasoned pros who are winners. People who will walk through brick doors even walls.

I did, again, in the forlorn hope we could at least offer some sort of competition to a team who need to get a result, should have known better.
-
There must be a problem with Bostock as he should be the main man in that midfield.
Unless he has a bit of an injury it would seem Butts is not happy with him.
Think he signed for Moore and is sulking. Just my take on it as no evidence.
If he is sulking then drive him to Hillsborough along with Bogle.
We need players who are going to bust a gut out there on the park. These two are not doing it.

A new manager and a full pre-season and he could be one of the better players in League One. We don't want to be getting rid of everyone just because they've been poor when the whole team has.
-
I would like to see Bostock in a role just behind the striker.
He can pull off that defence splitting pass.
He just seems to play too deep for me and ends up between the two CBs.
-
I suggest a good manager worth their salt will get these players playing to their strengths, if they stay of course.
-
Bostock is one of our most technically gifted player but he isn't Whiteman. We were built to be a counter attacking team, Whiteman was good at picking the ball up from the defence then pinging a quick direct ball out wide, where as Bostock is a lot more intricate, possibly slowing down our play currently, under a different style of play he could be brilliant.
-

That’s what he has been told to do though hound. We simply do not have a proper holding midfielder as Smith also prefers playing as a play maker further forward.
-
At first I thought we may be successful without Whiteman but as time has gone on it has become glaringly obvious that without a quality holding midfielder the whole team has disintegrated as a unit. We lost our shape, pattern of play and found it very difficult to protect the back 4 throughout a whole match.
If you consistently concede goals at an average rate of 2 per game you are under serious pressure to try and out score the opposition and leave even more holes at the back.
