:Let's talk about the Bromley game

[dickos1]

No Fleming in the squad for the last 2 games?

That’s a loan spot that needs freeing up.

Not really, McCann only ever has one defender on the bench. Hence why Nixon was mostly not in the squad last season. If you look back players frequently go from not being in the squad to the starting line up

[Lesonthewest]

As in the Chesterfield game, we were outwitted, outfought, hardly picked up any second balls, far inferior physically, apart from McGrath. They were more energetic & fought for every single ball, fair play they deserved their win. For us, we look like a play off team more than a top 3 side in my opinion.

What a ridiculous post, how anyone could watch that game and say they deserved their win is pathetic.

Is your head that far up your arse that you don't think bromley deserved the  win ?
Do you not agree with mcann when he said the same ?

We were camped in their half for almost all the game, we had 22 shots, 65% possession, created a number of situations that should of lead to goals and we could’ve scored 5 or 6.
They time wasted from the 11th minute because they knew they were hanging on.
So yes they worked hard, yes they pressed well, yes they defended well, but in no way did they deserve to win the game.

Should have.

Yes should have!
But didn’t which is why we lost, not because they were the better team or deserved the win

Don't understand your second line at all, doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, they did deserve their win.

If you think a side that had 35% possession, created nothing of note, conceded 22 shots on goal and time wasted from the 11th minute onwards deserved the win then good luck to you!

Think your confusing 'stats' & 'deserving to win the game', as reiterated by our manager.

Don’t bother les, he’ll just come back in a week or two’s time and say “well you look silly now don’t you!”

Ha ha, you’re still going on about that! It was literally 20 mins after you said it not a week later

Annoys me how people misuse literally nowadays.

It was a week later and my opinion on that thread doesn’t sound a million miles away from McCann’s football heaven interview, does it? He mentions the last “3 or 4 games” and is a lot harsher than I was.

I thought you were talking about Saturday when you were slagging off McCanns substitutions prematurely, the problem is there are that many negative posts from you

There it is, I was wondering how long it would be before your seemingly favourite word in the dictionary 'negative' was thrown in, & low & behold there it is. So predictable.

[hoolahoop]

If we don’t win on Tuesday night I will show my bare bum in the window of the club shop after the game.

Please check with the shops staff with regards to framed photo prices.

Well did you ?

Should have.

They weren't 'hanging on' from the 11th minute though were they, in fact they looked like on more than one occasion like adding a second.

Of course they did les!
They had the odd counter attack in the second half but other than that we’re camped inside their own half as the stats suggest.

And are you not worried that we fail on multiple times to break these teams down and then go on to lose?? You talk like the players should be applauded for that performance. Teams like harrogate and newport are singing can we play you every week.

Were joint 3rd in the table, people are going in like we’re in a relegation battle

Let’s be honest. Absolutely nobody is going on like we’re in a relegation battle.

The level of negativity on here after every single defeat is amazing. Folk need to look at the bigger picture and realise that over a 46 game period we aren’t going to win them all
We’ve started this season better than we have in a long time but you wouldn’t think it reading this forum

Here we go again, when the debate doesn't

They're really not though are they, maybe just in your head?

[Lesonthewest]

By the same token, the balls that are flying across the box, that are deflecting off people and falling to the keeper, balls that are rolling across the 6 yard line don’t get counted in stats.
So yes some of those 22 shots weren’t great but the keeper made 8 saves and we had plenty of situations around the box that we should’ve done better with.
The first 10 mins yes I thought we were going to rip them apart, and if one of those early chances went in, we would have

Where were you when they were bombing forward with intent at 1-0 ahead with 6 & 7 players in the box.

If working hard means you deserve to win the game then we need to rewrite the coaching manual.
It’s not only stats either it’s the naked eye, only people looking at it with the constant negative eye could watch that and think they deserved to win.
We were the better team by a mile but couldn’t score,
McCann is obviously trying to get a reaction, let’s hope it works

Nothing to do with getting a reaction, he's just telling the truth. Negative eye? Can I suggest you watch the game again? What Bromley lacked in ability they made up for in spades for hunger, physicality, mentality, being brave going forward in numbers, defending well, & outthinking us. They deserved their win

So, if Rovers were the better team by a mile but couldn't score, we only couldn't score because Bromley worked their nuts off, played to a plan AND SCORED A GOAL, doesn't that equate to deserving to win?

[Lesonthewest]

He’s playing the game,
Regardless of how hard they worked,
The fact is we’ve created a lot of good situations, but the final ball and final decision cost us,
Their keeper has made 7 or 8 saves which we should’ve done better with.
But any neutral watching that game wouldn’t  be coming away saying they deserved the win,

So just our fans & manager thought they deserved the win? These neutrals eh.

[Lesonthewest]

Ridiculous, pathetic, negative, muppet, etc, blah blah blah. Really good debatable words.

[ncRover]

No Fleming in the squad for the last 2 games?

That’s a loan spot that needs freeing up.

Not really, McCann only ever has one defender on the bench. Hence why Nixon was mostly not in the squad last season. If you look back players frequently go from not being in the squad to the starting line up

Why would Rovers, Hull City and Brandon Fleming want to waste a loan where he’s not even getting in the matchday squad?

Why did rovers, hull city and Tom Nixon do exactly the same last season?

Nope we couldn’t score because we made poor final decisions, lacked a desire to score and on occasions were downright unlucky!

But have a read of Billy’s thoughts on last night. He sums it up beautifully.
Although I see you’re not jumping down his throat for having a similar view to me
Funny that

Well did you ?

I walked sheepishly around to the shop hoolahoop only to find there were eighteen blokes in front of me undoing their trouser belts.

Worried in case it was some ‘pre Masonic group acceptance investiture ship’ I had inadvertently stumbled across (the lights being a strange dim lit fashion with only one spotlight illuminating a space in front of the red changing room curtain) I have to hold my hands up & say “no my friend, I didn’t”, & although I realise I have renegade on a promise so clearly looked forward to by many a supporter (& I have to say many of the paparazzi who seemed for whatever reason to be there in their droves), I hope you will accept my ‘non appearance’ in good faith.

Until the next time.

I was stone cold sober I'm afraid, I'm not jumping down anyone's throat, if you dish out the petty insults you surely must be able take some comments back, Billy as everyone else are entitled to their opinions, but he like most others don't resort to petty name calling as you do. Also if I did disagree with Billy or anyone else & I felt the need to post then I would.

As I said if you watch the game back, they overloaded our box getting forward on several occasions, were you at the bar at these times.
