Dingle Bells, Lennon Smells - Rovers (H) 28/12/15

[jonnycooper]

I expect we,ll win! In a style that has the journo,s writing such things as (why are Bolton where they are)? That style of football should be enough to be up amongst the top 6! And Lennon exclaiming! We,ve been capable of performances like this all season! Oh Well,one can dream! 2-0 for the Whites!

[TonyDomingos]

Fck Lennon, fck Rovers, fck football!

COME ON YOU WHITES!!!!!

[TANGODANCER]

Off in a minute to watch Sky with a neighbour so no Radio Tango today. Maybe it'll change our luck. COME ON YOU WHITES...

[Bijou Bob]

Amos, Holding, Prince, Wheater, Moxey, Davies, Vela, Pratley, Feeney, Clough, Madine

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Amos is the second best goalkeeper in the Championship (according to the Times) with 78 saves, just 10 saves behind the leader Button for Brentford.

does making the most saves indicate bestness of goalie - or shabbiness of team?

Both.

I see the Prince is today's Agile But Accident-prone Sidekick For Brave But Lumbering Big Dave.

Lennon tells Sky that the plan is to stop the supply line to Rhodes, including crosses. We'll see how that goes.

[Vertigo]

First game I've been able to watch in a while. Blessing in disguise innit. COYWM.

[thebish]

madine!!! you HAVE to score there!! muppet!

[midlands exile]

What is the point of Madine?

[LeverEnd]

Clough unlucky, great ball by moxey, loads of time for Madine to pick his spot...

not at all sure about that!

goalie A faces 1000 shots - saves 300, lets in 700

goalie B faces 167 shots - saves all 167

goalie A is better than goalie B?

[thebish]

vela looks more at home not at RB!

when we have a go - we look half decent...

[thebish]

we're good for the odd 10min spell - but then we nod off...

[thebish]

that header back across the six yard box from Madine - that nobody gambled on - that's the kind of chance that Nolan would have gobbled up in his pomp... he'd have been there...

earlier comments about vela - oops - easily robbed in dangerous position...

Ah. It's usually expressed as a percentage.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Two bodies thrown at the ball. Difficult to do that when you're spineless.

[thebish]

ahhh - so Amos saves 78% of shots?? that WOULD be a better indication!

indeed.. no lack of effort or willingness or spirit... some lack of skill/finesse/nous...

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

It's probably on whoscored.com

Anyway, we don't appear immeasurably more awful than blackburn, so I guess that's something

[thebish]

i haven't counted many (any?) shots on target... other than madine's point-blank screamer!

[Prufrock]

Jon Moss is an utter cock-end. Two free-kicks he didn't give us that almost led directly to Blackburn goals. C*nt.

This all looks familiar. We'll be on top for the first 15 mins of second half, they'll score against the run of play and we'll crumble.
