Title: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: RoversAlias on January 15, 2022, 01:48:32 pm
Looks like this is on today then! I don't envy those braving the cold, but hopefully the team can make it worthwhile for all who do.

No Williams and Hiwula - 2 more injuries or COVID?

Rowe back there again I'm afraid showed our real need for a centre back. Rowe isn't a great centre back and we miss him badly in our midfield.

So no Williams and Hiwula in the squad yet we still haven’t got more players in. I don’t know what GMC and the club are doing. Can’t see any in for Tuesday so it’ll be the same squad again. Knowing that then GMC can’t rate Faulkner as much as Selbyas he wouldn’t have gone on loan.

With the addition of just one new signing, that indeed looks a very weak side and certainly little of any additional strength available on the bench. It is what it is I know but did hope that the team would look just that bit stronger this far into the January window. Oh well, we live in hope.

have to agree with this. I hate criticising the club. But it’s now verging on negligence that we haven’t filled some of these glaring gaps in the squad as a matter of urgency whilst we have the chance. Rowe isn’t the best centre half but is the best midfielder, so we’re handicapped on two fronts.

Always liked Humphrys as a player. I did think he was someone we could have been interested in. Alas not.

Good luck boys  :scarf:

Could be another rough afternoon looking at that line up. How Arsenal are getting approval to call games off because of one covid case and injuries and we can’t seems ridiculous

We simply need bodies in.

Sorry, we simply needed bodies in.

0-1
Didn’t take long. Shocking defending. But how many times have we said that this season. Nothing changes. Horton so out of touch defending.

If only we had chance to sign an experienced, dominating centre half to organise them…………

This season it has not been TLOD more like Doncaster Rovers0, another day of trying ti guess how many we lose by. I am going for 1-4

Horton's wing getting a lot of action again.

Come on, we can't afford to compete with the likes of Rochdale.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: Cramby10 on January 15, 2022, 03:20:49 pm
We’ve failed to stop a single cross so far. They’re caning us down the flanks. It’s embarrassing

You think we can score a goal?

Should have been 0-2 there … open goal for the header.

Can’t say that GMCgot us playing better. He must think we are ok so after 15 days of the transfer window we have only brought in a striker

What's Agard playing like? Has he had a touch?

To say he’s been brought in to be a fox in the box and grab us a few goals , guess where we are playing him ? Right wing lol u can’t make it up mate

Playing out wide … a waste.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: RoversAlias on January 15, 2022, 03:36:33 pm
Can someone explain that to me...we've signed Agard because he's a central striker good in the penalty box. So is Dodoo playing central? He's a wide player!

Good grief.

We are still shit but at least in last 10 we have started making a few forward run and putting so effort in

A bit of a long stoppage. Tommy Rowe injured.Now back on his feet.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: Copps is Magic on January 15, 2022, 03:52:18 pm
Weirdly, that was not our worst half of football this season. It was passable.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: ScillyRover on January 15, 2022, 03:54:06 pm
Very poor start with an improvement as the half went on. We have had a few chances. Wigan look like they could up a few gears if needed though.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: monkeytennis on January 15, 2022, 03:54:10 pm
Actually quite pleased with that last 20 mins. A lot more confident and pressing. Even had a couple of shots.

0-2 Just too easy for them
Keane nods in his twelfth goal of the season. 12 goals!!! … we can only dream of having a player with that goal scoring record.

Game over
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan

wigan site said this for what its worth

OBSERVATION
Ethan Galbraith looks a player for Doncaster...20 years old, on loan from Manchester United...everything going through him in midfield...biggest threat for #wafc by a mile


meaning they are giving rovers credit for something are they at the same match ???

thi was at 1-0 they said it

The difference Bogle makes when he is in the team says a lot to me. If he had been playing all season would we be in a slightly different position??

this is funny !!!

GOAL
Goal back for Donny.

Omar Bogle on as sub. Massive boo from the away end. Free-kick comes in and he scores with his first touch. Wow. 1-2.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: Copps is Magic on January 15, 2022, 04:29:19 pm
Galbraith and Smith have been diabolic today to be honest, but the rest of the team is doing well. Jones good save there.
