Today’s team
COYR
-
That midfield lacks bite. Forward line looks miles better though!
-
Agree the midfield lacks at least one with a bit of bite. But unfortunately Bostock does not provide that either.
-
I would prefer Bostock to Smith in midfield. But I'm not the manager.
-
Looks like we need to pass around them and through them until we get a few goals in the bank, then just hope we can break up play without contact, and that our keeper is on his bestest form……
Now that’s how you win !
-
A very youthful bench too. No choice of course, but that's a lot.

If ya gonna blood ya youth…..this is the shit or die trying type of game….real men against boys stuff…
-

BobG
Pretty standard bench look isn't it? Only one player under 20 too, so isn't that youthful.
-
Liam Ravenhill on the bench has been for a few matches, I know, but when did his loan to Darlo loan fall through?
COYR
-
Is everyone's iplayer working ? No icon to click to listen to commentary.
Now working
-
Brilliant pre-match music! Can we have 90 minutes of this please?
-
Looks the best line up so far, bar Anderson, John and Fejiri.
My biggest concern is crosses onto Wykes bonce particularly from Rowes side.
Really hope we can create some chances though.
-
The bench 3 players 21 and under, Jones 22 then Bostock andGardner.
The centre halves that are playing are 23 and 21 two in midfield are the same.
Knoyle 24 Seaman 21 and Dalhgard 22 so the majority of the squad today are early 20’s
-
With them possession stats …..now would be a great time to score……!
-
Dodoo inches away from scoring
-
We've started well.
-
ggooaalllll
-
Get innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
-
Drfc have only gone and scored!!!!
-
Brilliant goal that. Dodoo assist, Rowe finish.
-
GET INNNNN!!!!!! What a relief!
-
Yesssss … cumon !
-
Can it be true!!! Woo boo!!!
-
GET THE F*** IN!
-
Ugh
-
Gutting
-
ffs
-
Well that didn’t last long
COYR
-
FFS
-
1-1 hope that doesn’t knock our confidence too much!
-
OH well. Simple goal from them, ball in, unmarked easy header.
-
McCleans a knobhead.
-
we need to make scoring a habit, then results will follow..
-
I don’t even think it was a free kick that led to the goal. Anyway, we move on. We scored a goal!
-
We scored from open play and I guess there wasn’t enough time for them to settle the feck down….but we scored 1 and that means we are a threat…..now irrespective of result we need to enjoy that feeling of scoring …..
-
Let’s be honest barring a collapse we’ve actually scored a goal which is the best most of us thought we’d get. Be nice for a forward player to get it rather than left back but beggars can’t be chooses and all that
-
Never a free kick but poor defending by Rowe.
-
What’s the new centre half looking like?
-
Another dreadful referee (for both sides). I will be surprised if both teams end up with 11 players on the pitch.
-
apparently wellens has been booked
-
Smith booked by the Wigan players. This has the potential to turn nasty I think…
-
plymouth 2 wednesday 0
-
Started well, but they are in control now. Tough for us to get out of our half.
-
Well… I thought that was a decent half against a strong, physical, antagonistic Wigan side. McClean really is a w@nker isn’t he? Thug.
-
The Scouse pillock on the Wigan commentary is so biased it's unreal.
-
Would settle for this score line come the final whistle.
-

Agreed, that was never a free kick.
-
OH well. Simple goal from them, ball in, unmarked easy header.
bit harsh thought it was a quality ball in
-

said same how many times has he mentioned a penalty shout
-
We played well that first half and matched Wigan in most areas until the last 15 mins when they were on top.
We’ll be ok, we’re not going down with these players
-

It was a quality cross but Rowe's attempt at getting a head on it was poor.
-

I would love us to beat them and shut the t**t up.
-
Deary me, 4 or 5 balls in from them completely uncontested. Our keeper has saved two.
-
Wyke is quite pathetic. Referee is buying everything and the T-shirt. Another soft free kick AND a yellow card? #losttheplot
-
FFS… was that offside?
-
Offside surely that. Ref is atrocious.
-
Replay at ground shows it was well offside
-
Knoyle played him on.
-
Freeze it. Looks off. Knoyle comes in after the shot is off.
-
We are sadly lacking in any aggression and bite in midfield.
-
It looked offside to me but why was he all on his own?
-
Looks like he was just about level.
-
I feel like any rovers fan not seeing the massive gaps in our defense is not really being honest to themself.
-
Again. The standard of officiating is abysmal.
-
ipswich 2 bolton 5 (five)
-
Again. The standard of officiating is abysmal.
The referee is a joke.
-

The problem is the midfield plus Tommy Rowe is not a left back!
-
Wow, if you just heard the scouse wigan pundit you'd think we were playing Cruyff's 80s dutch masters.
Referee shocking. Both Hiwula and Olowu look off the pact. Still don't have any confidence in Williams after 6 games.
-
Vilca will save us.
-

Tommy Rowe is/was a good centre mid. Think we could use his experience and nouse in there alongside Galbraith.
He suffers from being left-footed. When he first came to us he was centre mid and got shifted out to the left mid and left wing back just because he's left footed.
-
Matt Smith is awful

ferguson will be sacked soon

Agree. Rowe needs to be in midfield.

Matt Smith is awful
Hard to disagree with that. I’ve seen nothing from him that gives me encouragement.
-
What happened to the pressing, passing game that we were led to expect … performance anything but that
-

Tried to think of something constructive, but that’s all I could come up with
-
This season draws parallels with the season before we got relegated from the Championship with the experiment and also the season before we got relegated to League 2. Our form has followed on from the previous season.
-
One positive thing....
These defensive performances must be doing wonders for the chances of Joe Wright being offered a contract when he's recovered from injury.

There's also slight similarities to the horrid year we dropped into the conference - feels like we're just taking anyone to put people on the pitch and it doesn't matter whether we know they can kick a football or not (see Vilca)
-
I'm surprised he is still on.

Well let me help you!
Instead of saying “ MATT Smith is awful”
Try
“ I do hope that MATT Smith gets better as this season progresses”
-
Let’s be honest every one of the players on the pitch (before Bossie came on) involved RW recruitment. Does make you start to question it.
-

No it doesn’t!
He has, and is, recruiting for a thing that will happen in the not too distant future….this is just the prelims……

any chance of us doing a "Dick Turpin" putting our masks on and committing daylight robbery and getting a point it is only 2-1 afterall

BBC Sports stats are that we have one shot off target in the second half and none since we went behind in the 52nd minute. We are OK at keeping the score down but if we can’t muster a shot, we aren’t ever going to win a game.

Lol….it’s on auto thingy for some reason!

I think you have to remember we are playing a team full of experienced players and our substitutions have been for 3 kids playing in midfield. We need a "Proper Mester" in midfield not kids.

Most professional footballers can be up and running within a couple of games. From the last few performances hardly any of the incoming players look like they are up to this level of football. There's a couple of games (e.g., Sheffield Wednesday) where the play was better and I'm trying to hold onto that hope.

morecambe just gone behind 3-4 which is season changing for rovers

It would be great if we had someone who had like a role or something who could like pick who goes onto the pitch, so that we wouldn't just have kids in midfield wouldn't it?
-
Has Vilca had a chance to show anything promising?
-
Has Villa had a chance to show anything promising?
Not really, has looked lightweight. Did pop up in the number 10 position once and did slot a nice through ball that would have led to a good chance had defender not got a slight nick. Also played a nice pass down wing for Smith. Seems like he could see a pass and play it but I'm not sure he's the winger he was signed as. Is playing in number 10 position since Bostock came on.

You know my posts are constructive not knee jerk and definitely “ thought about”….
What you did is throw a little stone over a shielding wall and shouted “ yeah that”
I know your hurting from when I last tore a strip off you……just take it like a man …

Full time 2-1
Positives, we scored
Negatives, we didn’t score enough and never looked like scoring enough. On to Morecambe
Onwards and upwards

Sha66y, your posts are more and more reminding me of a poster from quite a long way away.
They do often read as though they are WUM like.

Hound!
I try do diffuse and deflect the hatred onto myself so that the team don’t get too bad a mauling,
Alas I fear I may be failing , as the hatred for the team seems intricately linked to myself….we are both becoming a pain!!
But I won’t waver whilst I can still find good things to say about our team in their time of need…..and at least try and swerve some of our less tolerant fanbase away from calling for the Managers Head……..it only takes a dissenting ripple to galvanise a tsunami!…..and were then will we be Hound….
Groups will organise silly marches to push for the removal of all those that they see as failures……our club, our team!
No Hound , though I can’t change a fans perception of how the club is transitioning , roiling blindly in a whole lot of pain…I fear I must at least try to dissuade the more hot headed tempestuous element of these fans to see me as the pariah, the “ thing that’s wrong” ….whilst RW prepares the team for yet another battle we surely must at some point win…..

How did Close play?
Not sure I have seen enough yet from him

Was a bit quiet. Much better in the #10 position ahead of Smith.
