v Bolton

[DanRrr]

By all accounts, we were very unlucky at Bolton.

We've been unlucky a few timnes this season. That's why I'd rather avoid relying on luck. It's overrated

It still exists though. Those who claim it doesn't never had a flower-pot fall on their heads like a bloke I knew in Ipswich. Saxo would put that down to poor management in terms of the bloke's choice of pavements.

Also, Dan, what about the "performance" issue that was discussed before Christmas? All the reports say Rovers played excellent football against Bolton.
In other words, 70 minutes of poor performance against Charlton, but a 2-0 victory, compared with about 70 minutes of good football against Bolton, but a 1-2 defeat.
I repeat - I don't think it's the clear-cut decision that many of you are making out.

When Emile Heskey scores against you it's time to have a serous look at the direction your club is going in and wonder if it's time to fold as an organization. I'm so embarrassed right now.

I'm sorry but what a load of codswallop. This is one of the more ridiculous side effects of the modern fan's obsession with pretty football and enthusiasm for jumping on moronic hysterical bandwagons.

The criticism surrounding Heskey is as manically exaggerated as it is around other functional modern strikers such as Kevin Davies or Peter Crouch. Its no wonder these things come back to bite people on the arse when they have the totally illogical view that players such as these are rubbish.

Heskey has scored 111 Premier League goals in his career. That's something Rhodes and Gestede will both never come close to, and yet our fans rightly sing their every week. There's naff all wrong with having Heskey score against us, get a grip.

This is true for his game auks however we do seem to be squandering chances in games and lacking at concentration at the other now who do we blame for this?
The players?well yes but ultimately the buck stops with bowyer our form of late is hardly scintillating and if we continue we will slip out of the play off picture.

Motivation? So you think motivation had anything to do with Rhodes hitting the post 4 times? And Gestede hitting the bar because the manager can't motivate him? We lost, that happens. We where also unlucky by all accounts. Nothing to do with motivation. Instead of listening to all this *******s about motivation, just have a think back to where we where 2 years ago. Then rethink this absolute *******s about lack of motivation.

We will hopefully play as well as we did today when we play Boro and I have a strong feeling we will beat them. Making an absolute mockery of this motivation thing. As it's *******s
