' Paul Lambert has little quality to choose from '

Thursday 31st Dec 2015

THE problem Paul Lambert has is that there is hardly much quality waiting in the wings to change things up for the back-to-back trips to Wales. So hearing the Rovers boss say earlier in the month that the January business done will be ‘more or less loans’ was slightly disappointing.

Yes the embargo has only just been lifted and the club would never want to be in that situation again, but the last few games have shown the squad needs improving.

The last game of 2015 was up there with the worst performances of the season and the defeat at Reading was not much better. Winning every game is not possible but Rovers never looked like taking three points at the Macron for the first time in six years.

It was equally frustrating to play a team who are hopeless at the back, in a game that was there for the taking and yet Rovers were still unable to create chances to win it.


Lambert needs to find a striking partnership that produces goals and stick with it. Jordan Rhodes is not in good form but the lack of service is also a real problem. Starting Tom Lawrence from the outset against Cardiff would inject some creativity into the side and hopefully help Rovers get a few more goals.

Does this story sound familiar?????
You could replace some names and it could be about Cardiff City!

They will still come away with at least a point from us!

Not seen our home record then?

And we'll struggle to get a team together to beat them.

This one has to be 3-1 or 4-1 City

This one has to be 3-1 or 4-1 City

but at the moment I would take 1-0 90th minute. This game is all about the result, I don't say that often.

2-1 City.

Noone and Pilkington.

Annis, that sounds like bad news.

Any poor team we play we struggle against and lose.

Got a bad feeling about this one, last 3 Maynard, Burke ( I know not him lol) and now Conway

We can beat these comfortably if we take our chances for once.

They will still come away with at least a point from us!

Recent form at home suggests otherwise!

So would I Gareth, But this is a chance to a bury a team who are struggling badly at this moment in time and even worse have not been able to sign players.

They've still got better options up front than us.

Rhodes, Lawrence and Delfuonso

Delfuonso? I'm bricking it.

Yeah- and which strikers of ours strike fear into them ?

Always get wary when I hear that our next opponents have got a lot of injuries, etc.

They haven't got a load of injuries, just another manager who'd like more to choose from.

They will still have a decent side out against us.

You mean the one everyone was saying was a shit signing 3 weeks ago

He's the only one weve got now to worry anyone, and he's not as prolific as Rhodes yet.

I have never doubted Watt when we singed him I've always rated him just a bit of a shame we haven't got a another quick player alongside at the moment.

come on city 3-0
