Rovers v Reading: 15 March 2023

[Barmitzvah Boy]

We were dreadful away at Reading losing easily to a team managed by that pillock Paul Ince.

Rovers will be all guns blazing and have a storming 1-0 win.

Beware the wounded golfer football team.

Bad as it is for Bucko is he a miss really? He’s had a really poor season compared to last IMO. A. Wharton could easily take over

That's who I'd like to play but I'll Bet It's Morton. Maybe he will put Brittain in and push Rankin-Costello to midfield.

At the moment yes as we are short of players but you are correct that he hasn’t had a good season compared to the previous one. However, I think JDT is playing him out of his best position as he gets way to deep down in the midfield. He was way much better last season when he played a more attacking role in the midfield.

I would like to see Adam Wharton play tomorrow,give him 70 mins and if he plays ok I would play him Sunday.

Morton starterd brightly but he hasn't got a brain. he's responsible purely for 6. points at least this season. I really worry when he plays, just not good enough yet.

Good point, see how he fairs but JDT isn't sure in training on him apparently.

 

[Dunnfc]

2-0 Rovers tonight. Need to start catching BB!

Will have to miss tonight as I've packed up the house ready for the move Friday!

 

[Drog]

3-0

 

[Husky]

If we cannot beat Reading at home when other rivals are winning and closing in then we do not deserve to hang on to a play-off place.

2-1 Rovers.

Anyone know if there is any TV coverage of the game?

1-0 2 mins bbd
Quick break from defence initiated by gally who freed Thomas. Not the best ball by Thomas but it ran to bbd who had time to pick his spot inside the far post.
