Things are looking up. A sure sign things will go wrong for Rovers.1-2 to Salford. Ironside, Faal. I hope I'm wrong.
I think that injuries may syart to tell and I fear you may be right. However, I'm going to be optimistic and say 2-1 to Rovers. Ironside with the first.
If we are serious about trying to get into a play-off place, this is a must win game. The chance to go three wins in a row should be great incentive, but this sort of situation where we often get it all wrong (Nookie's thoughts!)
I'm more in line with Crazy - getting a win but no clean sheet. Last game I was optimistic and said 3-1, but we could not make it. That was away and now we are at home and they have let in more goals than we have (but also scored more), so I'll stay very optimistic at 3-1 to the Rovers (before reading Crazy's, I was thinking 2-1, but I'll up him by one), but also go with Ironside. With my luck it will be Molyneux!
Rovers 2-1 Salford
Ironside to score ⚽
Maybe blame me as I started watching the game - I have not watched the last two, and we won!
This time, I stopped watching after about 30 minutes. Our players seemed to need some radar or something to tell them where the goal actually is. What was it in the end, 20 shots and only 4 on target?
They only had 4 on target but three went in. Where were our centre-backs that allowed their main striker two easy headers? The first you could say was a little lucky as the header went into the ground and then came down from the cross bar. As Jones stayed on his line, could he have been quick enough to prevent the rebound from the bar going over the line?
However, whether Lawlor or Jones is in goal, too many simple crosses lead to headed goals.
Truly a game we should have won.
Perhaps on Saturday I go back to watching the Premier League!
You'd think GM would have realized by now that the Olowu ,Anderson combination doesn't work and Olowu is more of a liability than an asset.
Jones is the least athletic goalkeeper Rovers have had for years. He can’t catch the ball and won’t leave his line when it is fundamental that the added reach and height of an outstretched arm will get to the ball above and beyond a head.
When he palms or punches it he doesn’t have the strength to get it far enough away from the goal to prevent a follow up.
Most of his good saves are when the ball goes straight at him and he waves his arms about fortuitously, not usually managing to actually catch it or knock it very far away.
Oh yes, but he is quite a good distributor of the ball - as good as if we had an outfield player in goal.
