We haven’t been winning the last few games, why not change things.?

Post by: rich1471 on March 26, 2022, 02:54:19 pm
The issue I have is we are clueless ,no style of play chopping and changing week in week out the players need to build up a relationship with the squad around then so they know we're they are going to be ,their is no team spirit or fight in this squad ,spineless and gutless most of this squad

Not a cat in hells chance of getting a win with that team … then again I hope to be proved wrong.

I think this is Blackett-Taylor's first game back after an injury and he's tearing us apart.

Meanwhile Gillingham are up against a 19 year old debutant Goalkeeper

We are poor but we haven't had much luck either

It's worth remembering that this Charlton side is average at best yet we're making this look easy.

I am too but if the ref does his job, you’ve got half a chance against ten, could easily be three down already .

To be fair to Dodoo, at least he's touched the ball a handfull of times.

I said at 2pm, it was guaranteed we'd take Barlow off and put Martin on at half time or shortly after.

Yellow for Barlow. That's a blessing.

We've definitely had some luck this half.

I'm feeling reckless. We are nearly 5/1 on Betfair to win. It could be one of those rare games where we get battered yet win!
Title: Re: Rovers v Charlton

Yet only 7/1 to win 1-0.
Title: Re: Rovers v Charlton
Post by: monkeytennis on March 26, 2022, 03:55:34 pm
It’s been backs to the wall the whole half. I’ll add myself to the supporters who can’t believe they haven’t scored yet.

Total panic and no coordination at all once they get into our box. If we keep a clean sheet here I’ll be flabbergasted.

Just like every other game we are allowing them plenty of time and space. No pressing from us, not able to keep possession of the ball and a real lack of tackling.

Just for a case of misery loves company...Dover Athletic, on minus points and relegated last weekend, somehow went 5-2 up away at Wrexham this afternoon looking on for a very rare win...and Wrexham have come back with an injury time equaliser to make it 5-5.

I'd say themselves, us and Scunthorpe are the most tragic clubs in the top five leagues these days.

I have less confidence than I had at the beginning of this season that the club can get players we will need to take us forward. We keep GMC then I have no confidence in him either. The club are on a major slide and I’m not sure we can stop it.
