Let's talk about the Bromley game

[Colemans Left Hook]

Ive been watching Rovers 43 years and i cant believe ive seen a game like this during that time. Astonishing how we didnt win it nevermind lose it.

Tactics Tactics etc .. teams like Bromley have just ONE .. score first and and defended with everything you have .

bromley play WALSALL very soon 0-0 banker ?

when they won 1-0 at our place - they scored with a fluke trick shot - bloke swung his right leg - was it from a corner -and missed - ball hit his left leg and stopped dead  and from his social distancing position (nobody near him) struck it in as our goalie did nothing but watch it go in

Well-managed, this could be the start of a surge to the top, but  let’s have more composure and less rush.

35 games into the season and still waiting for that surge. We are running out of games and that train of thought is looking unrealistic especially after Tuesday. With each game I hope the surge is going to start but it gets tiring waiting. 11 games to go and we face 5 teams in the top 7 also fighting for promotion. Anyone paying attention should be worried.

We are sat in the automatic promotions spots and you say results haven’t been good.
Crazy

Do you actually read and think what people are saying before posting?
The conversation was about "the surge to the top" people keep talking about. It's not going to happen.
We will see how long we actually stay in the top 3 if we get any more results like last Tuesday.

[Reg of the Rovers]

It's the most demoralised I've felt all season, it finally sunk in that we won't be getting out of this awful league with this lot. We looked like headless chickens last night, terrible defending for their goal, and just desperate, rushed, structureless play throughout.

Grant's team selections and formations have been wrong for a while. It's either 4-3-3 or throw more forwards on and see what happens. That't not a plan B.

And some of these players aren't good enough. Has Broadbent shown marginal improvement? Maybe, but he's still slow and can't pass, and makes far too many mistakes. Sbarra is a joke. Ennis is even worse. We've made our standout striker last year in to a benchwarmer. We're entirely reliant on whether Molyneux can make something happen. That's our one tactic. McCann told us he wanted to win the league and get us promotion. He needs to come good on that promise or pack his bags.

Well dickos1 has labelled this nonsense, but it reflects the sentiments which I felt in writing my comment after the match. These players do show ability and the way they dominated possession is evidence that they can play skilfully, but the strategy is haphazard and improvised. Good management brings together a bunch of people with different attributes and blends them into an effective force. Molyneux and Sterry have this ability to combine powerfully and we see it in Olowu, but so many of the team seem to operate as individuals. You don’t know what to expect and it’s not obvious that they know what to expect of each other. You have to look at McCann and wonder if he sees how self-defeating this lack of organisation, this strategic failure and want of mutual understanding is. We saw in the individual performances last night that he’s got enough individual talent in his squad but he is not using its combined force to its potential.

Well it is absolute nonsense, and what you’ve written confirms that.
If you watched that game and thought oh well this means we’re not going to get promoted then you’re absolutely clueless. We were terrific, but we just couldn’t finish.
It was one of those nights, but the performance was superb

The ten wins in a row started at this corresponding week last season.
No one dreamt that could happen.

Ha ha you’re crackers
We’ve won 7 out of the last 10 games, and you say we’re not in form.
What kind of surge are u hoping for if you think 7 wins out of 10 isn’t good enough

[Colemans Left Hook]

on thinking about the match it was like a  "Battle of the Alamo" f a cup match where  a team two divisions ahead is playing away and the minnows held on against all the odds for a shock win ---  It was just one of those days  - in time it will be our turn to win a match like that  with our tin hats on as we defend.

Now you all think Bromley have an impregnable defence well how come they allowed Salford to some back to 3-3 from being 3-0 up ?

There are so many Jekyl & Hyde performances by teams in this league  - one 

You all said we were as good as sliced bread when we beat Newport and slagged Newport off despite them being in good form - then on Tuesday they thump Gillingham 3-1

and poor old hopeless Gillingham ( a team we beat unimpressively at their place - it was said we burgled the points)  today have to face Bradford   -- so you all think Gills have no chance,

I thought Bradford would draw at home to no mugs Cheltenham on Tuesdayas they had 2 key players out. but 3-0 ???

I would not be surprised if Bradford dropped points today assuming Sarevic & Patterson are still out 

even though Walsall might lose today (2-1 down at the moment)
