Ballmeist Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Feeling positive about today. Don't see Swansea as anything special so providing we don't give them any easy goals we should do well.

The prospects for the economy is dire. Yet we have OT'rs debating how and where to invest their hard earned in the stock market. Yet, only a few days ago arguing about DC's incompetence, I can hardly draw my breath. So the Rotherham Owl bus is being drafted in for the trip to Swansea to help the club with Social distancing measures, a very generous gesture from the Village to the east. A full squad to pick from with the exception of Tom Lees who has an undiagnosed problem somewhere on one of his legs that a scan is failing to pick up. These things happen from time to time. A reasonable first hour against a solid WBA side that fell apart a little. So average rather than startling form going into the Swansea game but we should have enough to bring something home. UTO & DTB COME ON WEDNESDAY ! Rotherham Owls coach is on its way to Swansea as we speak, full of Rotherham Owls fans. We do not do the draft thing.

Holmowl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Looking forward to watching it. Our Sky is playing up and cuts out every few minutes. For the Bristol City games it froze with an unmarked Wickham a split second from heading the corner. When it unfroze the team were reeling away back to halfway. Im optimistic of a good performance and a win. Wickham and Rhodes looks a goal-scoring partnership. Hope Monk sticks with it. Hope Reach is given a run out wide.

MrsHall Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 2-0 Wednesday. Posting that amateurish lattice work on the dog meyt pie is surely a sign of some inner frailty. UTO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone tell Rhodes then, he needs to contribute more than he has already, both in terms of work rate and goals. Seems to me 70% of the work is been done by Wickham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulgaria Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Can't see us losing this one 1-1. But then again I had Luton to win yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Always enjoy going to Swansea, lovely place and a nice football club. Ayew looked on excellent form when I saw them on tv the other day. He is a very good player at this level. We will need a plan to stop him getting on the ball and creating, I have a horrible feeling that plan might be Joey shaped but let’s see. i think this will be a tough test. Contain first half , try and score set plays (ie do not allow bannan to take said set plays) , and see where we are after an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Really tough game today. Think I would be happy with a draw. Take Moses out of the team for Borner, don’t let Bannan take corners and continue with Wickham and Rhodes up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I feel like we will sneak another 2-1, however, head says we will take a lead and end up with a point. COME ON WEDNESDAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Positive today - I think weve got a chance today. Looking at the fixtures to come - I can only see Fulham as being a tough test, Preston Huddersfield, QPR and Boro we should be able to pick up points from as long as we have a fit side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodwickOwl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Interesting the over riding feeling on here is Bannan shouldn’t be on set plays yet we continue to see it - keep Murphy on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Points amassed and goals scored away from home is quite impressive - almost promotion level. Swansea are a similar team to us - some nice players who tap it around; one or two pacey ones who have some threat but little end product. Both teams seem to lack an edge or real threat, but defensively are ok. I'm therefore, going for a 4-4 thriller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblueowl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Slight changes for me.... Nuhui for Rhodes - Wickham and Nuhui will give there cb's a beasting physically. Borner hopefully for Moses I'd give Hunt his first start over Lee. Luongo will have to be immense today! Edited July 5, 2020 by Bigblueowl .

Lombardo Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Double fold at 11:55 Lets hope we don’t have a double fold and get back to winning today!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Strangely optimistic about this one. Borner back gives me confidence at the back, but depends how much running is in the legs of the wing backs and especially Wickham. A good game for Hunt IMO and would like to see more minutes on the pitch for him. Called Bristol right, so will have another go at a 1-2 Wednesday win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Archers Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Reckon this could be a tight un but we should have enough to nick it. So 3 nill to the Wednesday! Wawaw uto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I've tried being pessimistic in the hope that they prove me wrong and westbrom proved me right. I was undecided against forest and Bristol so I'm sticking with undecided. Today could be 3 nil either way or a draw. Let's be honest here, we never beat Swansea do we? But then runs are made to be broken so we could. See, undecided. Only thing I'm definite about is I'd like to see a change in the defence from last game. If not, I need to know if its possible to put a bet on a specific player giving away a penalty. The other night someone was saying he wanted to but couldn't find a market for it. Is it possible? Serious question BTW, would like to know as he would have won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
