Back again.

Do I just watch it, accept we are down, and enjoy it?

Or hold on to some irrational hope there's a chance we'll stay up and get stressed at every missed pass?

I'm going grey.

I am grey Copps, which proves how stressful watching Rovers has been over the years.
I wasn’t going to bother watching tonight but my loyalty won and I have bought the iFollow pass.

Top man.

At least I hear Copps is on commentary. Worth the iplayer pass in itself.

Post by: Barmby Rover on February 15, 2022, 07:50:45 pm
I did suggest we have a formation of 1 -10, with the goalie being the 1. That's the only way we might stop Marquis from scoring. Not hopeful folks!!

Post by: Copps is Magic on February 15, 2022, 07:53:48 pm
They said on commentary over 1k Rovers fans there tonight (on a Tuesday night). That is great support for a team bottom of the table. Credit to those who went.

Anyone know where our midfield is? Keep seeing flashes of Martin jogging past the camera but not seen any of the others so far…

Post by: drfchound on February 15, 2022, 08:18:36 pm
I just noticed Smith dawdling with the ball as if he had loads of time but it was poked away from him.
He did exactly the same this in the Rotherham game, both instances around halfway.
Title: Re: Imps V TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 15, 2022, 08:19:21 pm
Sounds more and more from the commentary that 1 -10 is the formation, making sure we stay in our own half and hope for a fluky goal.

Gardener probably the best on the ball so far.
Rowe can’t get into the game.
Smith working hard but struggling to get the ball to our front man.

Decent defensively but nothing on the ball.  Smith keeps getting close to the ball and losing it. Frustrating but we are still in the game.

I agree. 2 yards off the opposition. Slow in possession.

I just don't understand. Our standards seem to be so low.

Post by: anton123 on February 15, 2022, 08:41:02 pm
We are to deep and letting there wing back to high up as they only need to leave 2 defenders back to mark Rio , let’s see if GM can actually do his job at half time for once and notice this and try rectify it or stay as we are and loose this game

The fitness is such an issue. This could easily end 4-0 in the second half when our level drops further. The fitness has never been there but should it really be getting worse as the season draws on?

It’s fear, you can see it in the passing, defending and keeping. We are lacking in fitness but it’s the fear factor that’s weighing us down and that’s a lack of leadership both from the manager and on the pitch

Chance for GM to get his points across.

1. have at least one chance during the game

2. Don't hoof it every time you receive the ball.
