Hard to care too much. A loss won’t see the end of Mowbray and a win won’t propel us to promotion but would strengthen his position.
Probably a draw with us salvaging it late on to cries of ‘this team are giving their all for the manager’
Funnily enough, Joe has a bit of a soft spot for Rovers. He used to post often on the Rovers 606 pages and another Rovers forum (no longer active) with a bunch of us around 2008-10. He was a regular in the match day threads and used to cheer us on, even though he's a Villa fan. It didn't stop the rascal from diving or scoring a winner against us though!
Would love for us to sign him. He has lost his starting place at Forest. Has a cracking left foot and can play on either wing. Forest would want too much for him though.
As for the game, I think we are going to pull off a surprise win tomorrow. We always seem to do that when things look bleak and the fans aren't expecting anything.
I started watching Rovers seriously as they slowly declined into the third division (first time around), watching a team steadily plummet until Ken Furphy arrived to give some positive direction. Like a lot of football fans I took a sort of perverse pleasure in knowing I was still supporting the Rovers when nearly everyone else had turned their back on them. I watched from the Riverside as a painfully small crowd watched us drop.
At the moment it feels like I'm back at having to feel the anguish again, hoping against hope that the corner will be turned.
So I will watch the Forest game, I want our team to win (I don't think the outcome will see the end of TM either way) and show a bit of quality.
Managers come and go, I've seen a heck of a lot leave Ewood, always after they had arrived in a fanfare of 'this is where the change starts'. Who knows who will arrive next? The only positive is it won't be Steve Kean.
At least we have a team to follow, I have mates who are Bury.
1-1 tomorrow. We'll score in the last 10mins only to concede an equaliser 3 mins later.
As I said on another thread I have no interest in this game until the two muppets running this club take their final pay cheque. And the chicken chokers can do one too. I want the club I started watching in 1963 back. None of these BS excuses from a seriously misrun club
I expected us to lose at Barnsley, but had that faint gut feeling Mowbray would do the typical 'pull one out of the bag just as things look really bad' as many of you will have had too.
That feeling has totally gone for me. We have looked absolutely lost recently. I just can't see that changing in the space of a few days enough for us to put a real performance in.
With that said, the only way I see us picking points up in the immediate future is if the opposition turns up and has a bad day, an early red card or some other huge swing(s) of luck.
Forest looked unlucky to lose last time out against Swansea, I fear they will take the anger of that loss out on a flaccid Rovers side. 4-1 Forest.
I think tony will go for a 5.5.1 tommorow,he tried a back 3 at barnsley and it did`nt work,so i reckon he`ll figure that if we put 5 in defense it`s better than 3!
Hmmm. The Mowbray death spiral has been known to stop at 3 losses - although typically it goes on for a game or two longer (not to mention this time round it has a sniff of being terminal).
Unless they go down to 10 we won't be getting anything here. 2-1 loss for me - very similar to Wednesday.
Despite only having 1 shot, we'll beat them on box entries, so Mowbray is thrilled.
Forest seem to be in worse a state than us. They have also become a bit of a bogey team for us. Two things will happen, the cheat that is Joe Lolley will score again and we will lose! It’s a 4th defeat in a row.
Currently lower in the league table, but I would swap managers in a heartbeat. Hughton will get them sorted.
Not paying to watch it, don’t care about the result. Our seasons over.
