[Archived] Bolton V Rovers - 28/12/15

[Tom]

Class leap and flick on by Koita and great from Rhodes to feed it out wide

That's what we need to see from them

[DE.]

Seems like we would have been better off playing on Saturday. The lack of sharpness or direction in our play is really disappointing. Hopefully fitness wise we will have the advantage as the game goes on.

[Tom]

Painful how slow physically and mentally the likes of Marshall and Guthrie are its just breaking down when it goes near them

[DE.]

Why do we keep @#/? handballing it?

[G Somerset Rover]

Our only chance seems to be from a set piece - a running theme under PL so far.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

What a massive task PL has with this shower.

Bloody hell, even Conway is crap today!

[DE.]

Two of our players just ran into each other whilst we were in possession of the ball. Incredible.

[Tom]

Disgraceful by Conway.

Koita puts him in on the edge of the box then he miscontrols it then puts in a woeful cross with 4 in the box

And now just as bad from Marshall

[AllRoverAsia]

I have played for better Sunday Pubs teams than this crap.

[G Somerset Rover]

Our passing and final ball is beyond pathetic. Marshall wants subbing for that pass alone.

[DE.]

I don't know what to say. It's like watching an amateur team. We can't even get the weight of our passes correct.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Is Hope Akpan even related to a footballer?

[Speedie Dived]

I thought Koitas run at Preston was bad, that was even worse then

[Tom]

Is Hope Akpan even related to a footballer?

The guy who is probably our player of the season?

[G Somerset Rover]

I'm always amazed when some fans try telling me he's a good player. It goes to show just how poor our central midfield has been for the last 5 years if he's deemed decent.

Edit: Tom likes him. Must be like Marmite.

[DE.]

The guy who is probably our player of the season?

Says more about the rest of the team than Akpan, if we're being honest.

Irritation got the better of me, I'll take your word for it. On this showing though, he's hopeless.

[Bundesburn]

Rhodes'll be off in January, with good reason. No service, nobody even looking for him.

I don't understand why we look so poor. Positionally/shape wise, it's not bad, perhaps defending a bit too deep, but we are away from home. Everyone looks to be sluggish and lacking a distinct amount of technique.

A side with more confidence would have put at least a couple past us by now. A performance like this against Middlesbrough would have resulted in a cricket score.

What's going on? Fine them all two weeks' wages, they're basically AWOL.

[SoldierMo]

We are missing Evans today

[Bundesburn]

See what you did there...

[AllRoverAsia]

Rovers fundamental problem is that too many in the side are League TWO at best

[DE.]

In fairness, our defence have been OK, excluding the chance Bolton should have scored.

Midfield and attack are an embarrassment though. Like a group of players from the non leagues who have never played together before. If I was Lambert I'd be livid with their "contribution" so far, which amounts primarily to giving possession away, being second best to every challenge in the air and miscontrolling the ball.

[Tom]

Poor poor poor from Conway but Rhodes should be scoring that

[Claytons Left Boot]

We couldn't hit a barn door at five paces at the moment.

[SoldierMo]

Conway is having a mare play it in bloody front of him aaargh
