Re: Exiles thread - Bristol Rovers (A)
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Rovers dressing room. Can you imagine?

"I want players from higher division teams" *stamps feet*
Orient sign Drinan
"We should have signed Paul Mullin!" *stamps feet*

Re: Exiles thread - Bristol Rovers (A)
Instead of playing Archibald and Drinnan wide of Smith, he put Archibald behind the front two. Archibald is dropping back when we don’t have the ball, doesn’t stop running.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 3:56 pmWho did he put in there?

We started normally, I think but Rovers have swamped the midfield so we changed things to level it up centrally.

Well we have Ogie back from injury and Thompson isn't now to far off a return. Happe had better pull his socks up or he'll find himself on the bench.

Get Pratley and Archibald off now, save them from an unnecessary card or challenge. Let Kyprianou and Sotiriou / Omotoye have some fun

Re: Exiles thread - Bristol Rovers (A)
Reading this reminded me of something somebody else said on this board a few weeks ago . " They are Kenny Jackett's players playing in a Kenny Jackett system '. Kenny has built a team . Incidentally, it seems to have gone unnoticed just how fast so many new players have managed to gel together .I have never known a new team to gel this quickly . They have hit the ground running . So far its fantastic stuffSmendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:08 pm"I want players from higher division teams" *stamps feet*

Stupid decision from ogie to give away the pen.
They should work on this in training.
