Let's talk about the Plymouth Argyle game

[Magicman]

Not expecting anything tonight. I've always hated this lot since employing that murderer, too.

It's raining, players won't want their hair getting wet. Disappointing result on Saturday after 2 excellent results. Depends on which Rovers turn up.

Tough game Saturday. Only positive is we seem to have a decent home record vs. Lincoln.

they are also racked with covid, but there manager still wants to play the game

[drfchound]

It kicks off at 7.45pm. Only the Ipswicu and Swindon games have been moved earlier so far.

Swindon v Accrington now off.  Covid 19 presumably as both clubs have had games off in the last week.

It is COVID.
I posted last week about this.
Accy have a big number of players and staff who have tested positive which is why their game last Saturday was called off and their game against Plymouth next Saturday is also postponed along with the game against Hull the following Tuesday.
This scenario is very likely to keep occurring over the coming weeks and months which will cause a fixture pile up.

Scunthorpe are the latest - the next 3 games postponed as 8 players have tested positive and 10 more are self-isolating.

 Wooton, Grant, Canavan, and Cooper all unavailable for tonight's game due to Covid in the Plymouth ranks. Cooper the goalkeeper was the only one in action at Wigan on Saturday

The EFL have said there will be an investigation into the Scunthorpe situation.
I reckon they should prepare themselves for a response from the EFL.............around April next year.

that will put a massive hole in there side Brian, but the replacements will want to impress the manager

Don't be ridiculous.




That's when it gets referred to the independent body.

  I don't know about that Dave, after reading the post on their forum one of the next comments was "thank God for that"

[Donnywolf]

  I am guessing now, but In think this could be one of the few games when we will stay overnight for the game, probably trained yesterday and a little this morning and travel down later today.
 

I think I read a while back that "long" journeys such as Rovers v Ipswich would be brought forward to 7 pm then the Coach gets them back without an overnight stay

However if the journey is a "long long" one like Plymouth the Player travel down on the day of the game - have a normal KO and then stay overnight (departing the following day with a bag containing 3 Points)

So I am guessing you are right

April hound. Your optimistic. 

[Donnywolf]

Probably we will be back in Ground watching "live" before then

Where did you get that info from mate?

[Chris Black come back]

Conor Grant is on the bench.

[RoversAlias]

Wootton and Canavan are missing a third straight game due to Covid protocols despite testing negative. Cooper is fine and Grant is back on the bench.

Different Cooper isn’t it? George Cooper (midfielder) is still missing, the keeper Cooper hasn’t missed any games.

[andy didcott]

Watching on I follow, or thought I would do, no picture, no sound, unbelievable.

[turnbull for england]

Mentioned on BBC sport page several teams having I  follow issues

Working fine for me.

[the vicar]

Shit 1-0 down

[Chris the Rover]

We’ve been garbage. Nothing up front, passing sideways and backwards, or to a green shirt. Plus, playing at snails pace again. It’s not pleasing on the eye. We need a massive improvement in the second half.

[the vicar]

We are a toothless tiger at the moment it looks a bit slippery we seem to be falling down al the time but it’s same for doth sids, there winger looked off side to me when they scored and out players all stopped

[Campsall rover]

Whiteman, Smith & Copps not in the game.

We need to step it up big time 2nd half.

[Janso]

Anyone hear the sound of a bubble bursting?

[Chris the Rover]

This is tripe. We’re like headless chickens. Absolutely toothless all over the pitch.

[the vicar]

They have got behind our defence twice and scored twice it is ridiculous this we are playing like amateur team

[andy didcott]

Think I logged in too late, after 2.30.

[the vicar]

Hallelujah get in

[Campsall rover]

Much better 2nd half.
Needed Sims on earlier. Copps looks a shadow of his normal self at the moment.

Some fairly weak shooting tonight.

Thought Fej did well up front. Needed more support.  1st half we gave Plymouth far too much respect. Should have gone on all out attack as defensively they are very average imo.

[graingrover]

Bursik 8 Hallyday 6 Wright 7 Anderson 7 Jon 8 Copps 5 Smith 5 Whiteman 6 Taylor 6 Feiji 4 First half 7 second-half, James 6.
Amos would have been MOM if he had been given 30 minutes.
Sims would have probably have got us a goal had he played instead of an ineffective Copps tonight.

[since-1969]

Final third play is just not looking anything it did at the start of season . Injuries aside when we’ve been scoring freely from all over the pitch it’s hard to see why things have dried up .
