Can’t see with players that it will be 442 but I think it could be 4231 or 433 only 6 subs . Ravenhill not there but Darlington game called off because of Covid three players maybe he can’t come near the first team

Might struggle for legs in the midfield. If we’re going to play well, we need to move the ball quickly and with purpose, with plenty of movement up top. Hope Gilbraith brings that energy.

Just fear it's going to be too pedestrian to get Wednesday on the back foot but, what do I know!

I’ll argue his commitment to our club.  What a w**ker you are Moore. 
He talks such banalities.
I hope we beat this team of his.
Give him some grief Rivers supporters.

No I agree PDX he isn't, but having watched him im not convinced when he is up to speed, that is his game. I think he needs it to feet, so he can run at his man.

Having just flicked to the home commentry, they seem flat in comparison to the beginning of the game, where they were buoyant and confident.

I hate audio only, it makes me sooo flipping nervous.

Post by: PDX_Rover on August 14, 2021, 03:54:12 pm
To a man, Wednesday are on at the officials moaning all the time. They’re falling over at the merest of touches and pulling, having little kicks and niggles, and the officials are just oblivious and allowing the crowd to influence decisions.

How we have had both full backs booked in beyond me.

Wednesday look average. We’ve been the better side I think. You can see it coming together.

I fancy us.
Title: Re: Owls v TLOD
Post by: Herbert Anchovy on August 14, 2021, 03:54:31 pm
A half of 2 halves for me. We were cautious during the first 15 -20 mins or so and seemed a bit disjointed. After that we played with more confidence and certainly finished the half stronger than Wednesday. Inevitably the Wednesday fans began barracking their team after about 15 mins and really don’t seem very happy at all.
Title: Re: Owls v TLOD
Post by: Copps is Magic on August 14, 2021, 03:54:45 pm
Very good half from Rovers. Bostock is running the show and the new kid Galbraith looks very confident. Final third might be our downfall here.

Gutting, been playing well.

Think we need to be more intelligent when pushed, they have played the ref today and nearly every time they are on the ground its a foul.

Also never going to win if we have no attacking threat, almost free headers being headed backwards are ridiculous for a League One player.

Post by: PDX_Rover on August 14, 2021, 04:42:52 pm
That’s disappointing. Very soft goal as Dahlberg dives to clear a low cross and pushes it straight to a Wednesday player.

A completely undeserved cushion, but I guess you take your chances.

No doubt the knives will be out on here from some but this performance is so much better from Rovers. You can see what Wellens is trying to do.

You look at the players missing too and that’s something to consider.

The officials have been poor. Again. Both full backs booked for nothing. Fantasy. And compromises their games as they can’t go full pelt, especially given how the Wednesday players are going down at the slightest of touches.

Post by: DonnyOsmond on August 14, 2021, 04:46:52 pm
To be fair the progress is there to see, we were easily the better team in the first half and with a bit more quality up front we could have taken the lead. Given a bit longer we'll only improve more but we do need more players on the bench who can come on and change the game, and that isn't Bogle or Ed Williams.

I am not going to be one of the ones slagging the team off on the forum tonight (got better things to do) but it is a bit disheartening that already this season is a write off because we simply do not have a strong enough squad.

We will be lucky to stay up with this squad. It's one of the smallest and poorest in the division. Sorry but that's a fact.

It’s not a fact. Idiotic statement.

I think results at the moment depend on getting Taylor, Okenabirhie and Hiwula back and potentially adding one or two more to that but I do think we'll struggle based purely on what we've currently got.

Paying him up uses up money from the budget, so we'd have one less player but a similar budget.

Taylor Okenabirhie and Hiwula won’t be available till October at the best. Richie’s needs to be allowed to get the forward loans if not we going to have a hard two weeks. The squad for today doesn’t change till after the Accrington and Portsmouth game. But that won’t change the front line.
