ROVERS v Sheff Utd

[jim mk2]

We look like a promoted 3rd division team tonight - out of our depth

Motm...Rothwell

Well, that's the unbeaten home run gone, hopefully it takes the mentality of draws being good enough with it. 

Our best player tonight - I'm struggling to name one with any credit at all. Reed, if I was pushed

Rothwell and he’s only been on the pitch 5 minutes.

Mowbray doesn’t know his best team - or is trying to keep everyone happy.

[Swanson]

Rothwell should be starting games.

[booth]

The most disappointing thing is that we look a mess. Some of the players just don't look right for this league.

Last season even when things were going against us we looked like we had potential.

[Tardyrover]

We can't keep conceding 2+ goals

 

[K-Hod]

Re some of the comments, we are a newly promoted side and the side we are playing, last season set the standard for newly promoted sides. That’s what we should be aiming for. Don’t think we will go down, or overly struggle this season, but we’ve really not been good tonight.

[trueblue]

Pitiful performance at home... Mowbray got it wrong tonight.

[superniko]

We look really poor tonight, 2nd to every ball, they're pressing better and passing better. 

Ironically our best spell was before their 1st goal. 

Rothwell has to start alongside Dack against Bolton, we need players with intent to be starting.

Well said. We conceded too many last season too.

Our slow, defensive tactic only really works if Graham and Dack are playing well. Graham was largely ineffective whilst he was on and Dack hasn't been at the races tonight so far. Armstrong has been our best player and looked lively, but he's had very little support. You can see why we draw so many games. The better teams in this league tend to overrun us in attack, whilst the poorer teams play a similar defensive game which often leads to the points being shared. A little more bravery needed, especially at home. We're beginning to fall down the table and it looks like it's going to be one win in six. The warning signs are there, Mowbray needs to figure this out.

Just slated Armstrong..look at what he did when he had it, cant think of anything half decent...rewatch and have a look..looked so frail in possession all night

Reed has been pish mate

Expand  

Aye, and he's still had plenty much, much worse. Jesus, think of that....

The League One momentum died tonight. Time for a new game plan Tony. One with Rothwell in it, and no Smallwood. It's time

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Brereton haa shown nothing in his cameos so far to suggest he is worth the money.

[booth]

Dack has been so deep all match.

[Roboftherovers82]

We went up against a solid well organised team tonight no shame in losing but the way we have played has been very badly i am hoping for mid table finish  to build on for next season

Also can we cancel the Brereton deal in jan or have we 100% signed him?

I also think Armstrong has been our best player today pal

[chemosabby]

the jigsaw pieces are still in the box. this is part of a next season team.in  another 10 games there will be some sort of a settled side. we arent going up or down.. next season imo we will be contenders.

Well it is the same team that limped over the line last season, with the only addition being Reed. 

Yet we spent £8m in the summer...

[Fraserkirky]

Armstrong looking like he should be playing under 13s.

Because he's frustrated with it all.

He's gonna be gone January I reckon if a decent club comes in.

Wouldn't blame him, must be murder for him being part of this turgid stuff. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Missing wingers tonight.

Have to say I am concerned by Brereton. I can't really see what his quality that he brings to the side. Obviously early days but seems an odd signing on performances so far.

 

[Swanson]

David Raya our best player tonight.
