Sam Frost has said MS is doing a presser tomorrow with TW, I guess when he's done that it'll then give the moaners something else to moan about, or they'll moan because he hasn't given them anything to moan about! anyone is within the right, to have a moan. We’ve been dire for a long while now, I’m a pretty optimistic person, generally try and see good before bad. But this club is bad from the top, just because Wael paid some debt off, doesn’t make him exempt from criticism. The hiring of managers, so far has been a shambles, and transfer policy is embarrassing! To even start a season with 3 strikers was inexcusable.

This must be one of the least attractive jobs in professional football. Two managers already sacked, a squad of players that are serial under performers and a club hurtling at break neck speed for relegation. With that background I am sure that the applicant managers will be of the highest calibre. Not. Thanks for adding NOT 👍🏽

Great Post 👍 bring Mr Bristol Rovers back where he belongs ......it’s way overdue. currently leading the pack on sky bet behind TW That’s looking backwards and Holloway lives in the past. Still, he knows plenty about league two so we’ll be well prepared for next season. we really can and ought to do better than this. He just talks a good game. Left Plymouth in unsavoury manner and now Grimsby. No thanks. He left Plymouth for Leicester, to better himself, not a crime, Grimsby, he maybe thought he could help them, but there in an awful financial state, with a team full of boys, not his signings. He cares about Rovers, which is far more than most managers will. Till the end of the season. He won’t do any worse than the last lot👍🏽

Holloway for me, until the end of the season! We need someone in charge, who actually gives a sh** about the club! We’re currently in free fall, but Widdrington needs to answer, why he and the board allowed us to start a season, with 3 strikers, two of them never playing a league game. Dam shambles

I think he did pretty well considering hes been out injured and has probably not played any competitive games in a while. We definitely looked more of a threat once McCormick came on but Liddle gave us a decent hour. With Ogogo and Upson both out he gives us another option for one of the holding roles, especially away from home. i honestly can’t remember him making a single impact on the game, I fact, it looked like Baldwin and him, were having a competition, who could misplace the most passes!

I think the reason he hasn’t been included, was quite obvious yesterday! Even against Darlington he struggled

The DM role is a nightmare isn't it. I guess depending on your identity, this can range from a player that is your playmaker or a player that is the shield. For me/us we desperately need to stop teams coming at us and our midfield just struggles right now - not surprised with the amount of formations and players switching in and out etc. I've often thought that Ehmer could do a job there (until last night) He seems relatively comfortable on the ball and can play decent enough short passes. Is good in the air and has a tackle in him...Unfortunately he had such poor game last night that he might have to sit out for a while. I mean look at the amount of us that have voted for him to lose the captaincy! Either way... I think playing with 2x DMs and 2x wingers would balance us right out. Our wingers would stop the opponents LB/RB bombing forward so much and give them something to think about when we are attacking. Only problem I see then is that with wingers/wing backs usually you have a big target man to cross into. We have seen that Hanlan can score a whipped in header and fair play to him... but he isn't a target man mould. This is where I think Ayunga fits in. I know he looks lumbering and has shown to be a bit a slower than you would have liked reaction wise... but leaving him out is not going to improve his game. He bagged 18 goals in the Conference last season and a lot of them were muscling out the defence and hitting the target, something that I feel he can do. I think that given a chance, and proving that he has that to his game will give confidence to the players behind him. In the appalling Accrington match (we didn't create very much for him at all but he still managed 2 shots on target, 2 Aerial battles won (50% success rate) put in a tackle. His passing wasn't great but given the circumstances was anyone 'good'!?! A lot has been said about there not being a tackle in our central midfield options... here are three tables for our squads tackling and passing accuracy (ranked) then a combined score to indicate who has performed best in each of these task... the result... a stats based table for a possible best DM (if passing and tackling are the only requirements - which they are not) Something to talk about though yeah?

We definitely need to be more expansive at home, they concede a lot of goals, but they’ve also got a bit about them. They’ve proved time and again, they don’t know when there beat, with a fair few high scoring draws.

I’m most disappointed in Grant, as a CDM, he’s not involved enough. He goes missing, his touch has been woeful in the last couple of games. For our more attacking midfielders to flourish, they need Grant or Ogogo to there jobs. I also think our biggest miss is ANSI, he’s such a presence in goal, gives huge confidence to our defence, it’s no coincidence that we’ve looked so poor since he got injured. Totally agree with that until tonight ( I realise you posted this pre match). Hopefully Tisdale will give Ogogo and Grant a run as a partnership after tonight I think they deserve it both 9/10 performances. they were both very good last night, but what a difference it makes, when you’ve got two players that run at defenders 👍🏽

Post by chilly1883 on Jan 26, 2021 10:50:06 GMT
Most were not available though. There is quite literally no excuse to play max Ehmer at wing back and Baldwin in centre midfield. He had options for round pegs in round holes here and chose to have SIX yes thats SIX defenders on the pitch when 1-0 down and chasing a goal. Yea he is short in the attacking areas but there are options available who would be better than playing it how he did Totally agree with that, I’d rather lose 4-0, trying to be expansive, than try and be defensive, but constantly leaking goals! It’s absolutely sh**e to watch, and doing nothing for the players, playing them out of position.
