Well, apart from the apparently dodgy keeper (lol) the starting eleven looks decent enough.
Not much back up though for Richie to fall back on if needed.

I won't mention the keeper  :chair:

I'd have quite like to have seen Rowe (at least as a one off) pushed further forward and either Horton/John brought in at left back. Given Rowe's finishing ability and how scoring goals looks like it maybe a problem for us.

Otherwise the manager has little choice looking at the bench at least in terms of the outfield players  :chair:

With fitness returning to a young body let's hope Cukur can last out 90 minutes and get in there quickly enough to score, I reckon he just needs to be a bit more greedy, finishing the work of others rather than chasing around the pitch too much. Be a Marquis!!! Shout at folks when they don't give it to you at 18 yards out.

Yet again the bench is not good enough some players there because we don’t have better.

Smith, Seaman, Fejiri  Hiwula, Taylor? Would they be a decent bench for you?

Hoping for a better performance than last season, it was this match last season that put the last nail in the coffin of the promotion push, it was the manner though, as it was one of the worst performances for some time.

Balanced view from Hoden.

"Rovers find themselves behind at the break courtesy of Pontus Dahlberg’s very early mistake but there’s not been a tremendous amount in the game since.

The visitors have arguably had the better of the possession and have worked some nice stuff in the middle of the park but it’s still not happening in the final third.

There’s been very little in the way of penetration from Rovers and they’ve yet to truly test Accrington keeper James Trafford.

But they managed the game well after the tricky opening, slowing down the tempo and taking the sting out of Accrington’s early start."


Title: Re: Stanley v TLOD
Post by: chrisfisher on August 17, 2021, 08:43:41 pm
It’s not an excuse it’s a reason.
Our front 3 is out injured, and possibly our best midfielder.

None of them have got bags of goals in them.

The most Fej has ever scored in a season is 10. We've had better returns from midfielders in the past.

And even so, we should have players capable of stepping up if they're out. And we don't. Not by a long way.
Title: Re: Stanley v TLOD
Post by: eastender on August 17, 2021, 08:44:19 pm
Might as well put Dahlberg up front as he's our joint top scorer, he can't do any worse than Cukur and Dierdre.
Title: Re: Stanley v TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 17, 2021, 08:44:32 pm
It is a real pain to see Rovers so denuded of attacking options, but it is nobody's fault. You would hope one or two midfielders would step up to the mark, but that isn't happening at the moment. All it take is one run, one shot. Fingers crossed.

It’s not an excuse it’s a reason.
Our front 3 is out injured, and possibly our best midfielder.

None of them have got bags of goals in them.

The most Fej has ever scored in a season is 10. We've had better returns from midfielders in the past.

And even so, we should have players capable of stepping up if they're out. And we don't. Not by a long way.

He scored 14 for us last season, and I think he'll do well when he's fit. Not saying that solves all our problems because it doesn't, but it's unfair to write Fej off like that because he's done well for us so far.

I'm not counting cup goals. He's an average striker, but by the time he is back, his goals won't be enough to drag us out of this shit show.

He scored 11 in the league, 3 in the Cup. Not my point anyway really, I think he'll do well in a Wellens team that's actually working. Not that this current incarnation of it is at the moment.

Pretty irrelevant what theyve done previously. Look at Marquis

Anyhow they’re are our front 3 and they’re all out injured

Everything we've built since the Richardson days is going to shit. It's heartbreaking really.

I think that's a little dramatic, Chris.

Weve built a lot of lasting foundations since those days. We'll all be sat in one big example of that on Saturday, and that isn't going anywhere.

There is a long, long way to go in this season yet.

True. But we've a dwindling fan base, and no sense of hoping to achieve a great deal. I bought a season ticket this year, but I can honestly say I don't enjoy it any more. It's more of a sense of duty.

Agreed. Had a couple of balls floated to him that he should be chesting down and playing, instead hes tried hopeful headers and lost them.

Also think I saw Bostock berating him after the ball was rolled into him in the box and he just let the defender clear it. Admittedly the camera turned away and it may have been Cukur, but I think it was Bogle.

Not a lot, if anything, to get excited about. Think we could play another 90 mins and wouldn’t score. Need to get a striker in. Did seem to play with a bit more purpose when Cam John came on, maybe start with him, moving TR into midfield. Anyway on to Saturday

Making mistakes at the back and clueless up top. It’s only 3 games, but we are in a mess and it’s no good just sitting around waiting for injured players to come back. Some, or all, may have set-backs or worse.
