Listen I hope LV makes a recovery, god knows we need him and if anyone deserves a break it’s him but we need to go carefully with him to try and get some games out him, if he gets hurt again it doesn’t bare thinking about in terms of his career 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have some good players but we have lost a lot of decent ones as well , first half we created some chances but second half was embarrassing, where is our out working every other team mantra?

If your happy that’s fine buddy, I use a football forum to moan about the team instead of booing players etc at games , I’m not sure why you feel so confident things will improve tbh if there are no decent players to sign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Megginson and played him out wide where he was very ineffectual. That's what you meant right? Not comparing a striker from last season to Megginson now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I've been following the Rovers for a deal longer than many on here and I've honestly never read or heard such overreaction as I have this season, and we're 1 league tie in. That's less than 3% of the campaign. Here's a bold but experienced take, which will likely keep some kettles boiling - yesterday doesn't matter. Very important players set to return in a few weeks, manager has said he still needs additional players, the combination of which will allow certain players to return to their natural positions or be dropped, and 35 games to go. Our season isn't defined or even shaped by defeat on day one. Should we show no improvement with those player and likely accompanying tactical adjustments by the end of 1st quarter, then I'll be concerned. But on the 1st Sunday? Nope. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 It's one game, but off the back of failing to beat League Two opposition twice, the signs aren't great, are they? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Don't know about Musonda - seemed he would liked to have stayed, but Pars offered Bene 2 years instead of our 1, and more money than he was on. Bene said so himself.And he won't get fired under a bus at the Pars either. That would stick in his mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Totally agree regarding Gullan a panic signing by Mcglynn IMO because we weren’t scoring goals and an expensive one at that. Personally Gullan is never a number 9 he’s best out wide or playing behind the front 2 You mean like Vaughan, connelly, Zanatta, Ross. See where I'm coming from here.. And now Easton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Brashie we played a team that has just come up and are still finding their feet you plat them with a high line and push them hard making them make mistakes it's not bloody rocket science. There again we still need a centre forward and two centre backs because what I saw on Saturday fills me with dread. You may see it different but I thought e were weak going forward and inept when it came to defending. Early days I know but I am not looking forward to getting scudded by Dundee.

There it is, relying on Vaughan. He's had 4 ACL is wish him ever bit of luck but we cannot count on him to get through a few games before something happens again. Yes a fit and confident Vaughan will rip defences but we have to tread very carefully for weeks with him. Spencer will make a difference but we still need an experienced CH in their along with a proper number 9, nit a kid from Killie who was deemed not good enough for their league challenge last season or Gullan that is not a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. 40 years for me and this team as it stands without additions is a team destined for league 1. No leader, no striker and no commanding CH or 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) The team's a work in progress with new players getting used to our style, but despite that we're playing a lot of good stuff, and several key players soon to start returning from long term injury, and further strengthening on the way. There's no excuse for this short sighted pessimism. Edited July 31, 2022 by Raith_Raver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megginson won't cut it in the championship. He didn't before and a couple of goals against our pathetic defence means nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's take out the loaded language and look at what you are actually saying - passing in the middle of the pitch is pointless. You are "absolutely" irrational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
