Yes and we had a spell, probably our best spell of the game, where we had about 4 corners in a row. I don't think anyone in the ground thought we'd score from any of them.

Anderson is getting worse by the game I’m afraid-it’s a pity Wood and Bobby aren’t fit.
Anderson all game trying to play the man, how easy did Cook lose him for the first, the second he didn’t know what do do. Agree with everything said about Biggins. Tommy Rowe a shadow of the player he was. Some major surgery needed with this squad

Quite a clever bit of play by Bradford for the first. Their number 6 body checked Anderson and blocked him from following Cook. The Number 6 followed it up by giving the prostrate Anderson a gobfull to let him know.

Black arts. We are w**k at and against them.

Thanks for pointing that out BST.

I really enjoy your aftermath assessments of the game.

Such a shame they add nothing to anything.

Then don't read them. And if you do read them, ignore them. It's really not hard, is it?

Anderson has been crap for a long time it’s astonishing he’s still here, not good enough to play in the EFL anymore.

When I played Sunday league 20 years ago, we used to do that. If Anderson(and the rest) isn’t aware that they may try and impede him marking their main threat from the set piece, we should give up now.

Another annoying black art is the all in wrestling match at Corners

In first half Ref halted a corner because Rowe was being wrestled by their Player. He pulled them together had the "obligatory" word that means nothing , then specifically watched them as did I

Rowe on Goal line at far post showed by raised hands he was not impeding anyone and tried to make a run across goal towards East Stand Corner and their Player simply put two whole arms around Rowe's waist and held him right there

Ref took no action , and let's face it it's become normal and won't be invented will it ?

Thank heavens Forest Green and Sutton are so bad and hopefully won’t find their form. They save Rovers from looking as bad as we really are.  Without these two teams we would be in big trouble. It’s hard to see when our next win will be when we can only score 1 and ship 8 goals in the last 2 games at home. We can discuss/argue players and tactics but it’s only results that matter. And I really don’t feel we are doing better than last season, but that’s just me.

I always respond to s**t when it’s posted otherwise the perpetrator might be of the illusion they’re posting something worthwhile.

It happens all the time Wolfie, as you know, and has been increasing year on year.
It has got to the point that people are suggesting it is clever play when players block others to enable a team mate to take advantage.
Is it really a good thing?
Should it be stopped?

I'll admit, I'm genuinely bemused. I posted a factual observation. Your response to that is actually quite disturbing. For you, not for me.

BST, some people, not you, are just plain nasty. You wouldn't think we all follow the same club.
All that matters is if Bramall will put the money in to turn us around and McCann can get the right players in, preferably over Christmas, rather than risk a relegation battle later on.

With Coppinger recruiting you’re always going to get the lightweight, looks good on the eye player.

Like who? He signed Biggins. Coppinger definitely isn't a scout.

And now we have him analysing upcoming opponents for us!

Much as we all love Copps, he needs to step aside from recruitment because he is a major contributor to the problems we are now living with.

It's not just him though. Wellens spent all his budget on what he said were his priority signings - Ro-Shaun Williams, and Ben Close. Then the rest of the window pretty much put in place the disaster we are dealing with now, given the knock on effect. Then the McSheffrey winter window signings of Agard (who he then never played) and Reo (we actually paid a fee for him) and our man Mipo. It is always a horror show. No wonder Terry is stepping back up given the way people have pissed away all of his cash, while going backwards at every step.

“…factual observation…”?!

I think you mean ‘colourful interpretation’.

You want us to believe that you have the ‘ability’ to interpret people’s (players) verbal interactions to the extent that you actually know what they are saying to one another 2 seconds after a goal has been scored?

You ought to set up a stall on Blackpool promenade….’BST sees and hears all’.

You certainly have the avatar to pull in punters.

Only one ‘disturbed’ poster here.

P.S. Merry Christmas

Aye. Quite possible the number 6 ran up to the prone Anderson, lent over him and said "Sorry about that old boy. Nothing intentional. I'm thinking of telling the ref to chalk that one off, what?"

Weird thing to have yank your chain, but whatever. Have fun.
