Do you think the players know how much that

Didn't we lose to Notts County in the same competition a few years ago under SO'D?Unfortunately the same team that was praised so highly last week has disappointed this week.Except for the absence of Sharp So we are a one player team & so we are doomed!

Stanton, there were three changes from the team that beat Barnsley, four if you count Friend who only played a few minutes.
Thre three were Sharp,Illunga and Gillet out, replaced by Bagayoko,Beye and Barnes.
That doesnt matter though, the three that came in should all be more than capable of doing a good job.
I do think that Oster showed his class when he came on and getting him fit will improve the team.
Yesterday the performances of Coppinger, Jimmy O and Stockie were well down on what they showed against Barnsley while Barnes didnt contribute much either.
I didnt see enough of Bagayoko to form much of an opinion but for a big bloke he didnt win many headers.
I hope Saunders is right about Bomogo being a bit special.
In my opinion we missed Gillet doing his bit in front of the back four too.
I wish Saundes hadnt spouted about us winning the FA Cup and that JR would stop harping on about us getting to the PL next season, it just makes us look silly to all and sundry.
Lets get safe first and then daydream about stuff like that.
I dont think we are a one man team and when we have no Billy we will have someone else playing in his role so we will still score goals but DS cant tolerate team performances like yesterdays, he has to get tough and do HIS job.
I have enjoyed seeing Billy play for us but i still say that in most games when he hasnt scored he has been largely annonymous so perhaps a striker who gets involved in build up play etc may benefit the others in the team.
No doubt we will miss his scoring ability but life has to go on.

Just as a metter of interest;
When did we last win 2 games on the trot?

drfchound I agree, i think most are going to disagree but just about right for me, you were to kind to Barnes, i thought he was pants yesterday,only when Oster came on did Stockie start to play

The 13th and 16th March 2010, that was the last time we won two games in a row.
Getting on for two years ago.
Lanzo, could this be the start of a lasting relationship - we agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mooligan, i just read your post again, are you Rene of Allo Allo in disguise?

drfchound our lasting relationship is rovers til WE die who ever plays for us. I have almost renewed a friendship with someone who was my best mate at one time Bobby Owen.Showing my age I'm afraid Lol.Feliz Ano Nuevo from Lanza

Lanza, lo mismo para te.

The comment amount Allo Allo made be laugh out loud hound, thanks for the entertainment!
