Leeds United v Rovers: Boxing Day 2018, 3pm

[Husky]

All i can say about that first half is that it does actually look like a team at the top of the league coasting against a lower mid table team.

Only Reed has somewhat some success there. But that's only because he's Super Reed. Hope we can keep Reed for the remaining half of the season. *cross my fingers*

If i was still playing and played in that first half with Armstrong he would be getting a mouthful of me at half time ...

 

I'm glad I never played with you. Sounds like you want your teammates to...well, 'play' with you.

I’d bet a significant sum of money that the first sub we see will be Smallwood.

God no.

What the hell was he playing at???

For Graham! 

Haven’t seen us too much recently but this performance, albeit against the league leaders, makes me have my head in my hands. Just offering absolutely zilch. Don’t get the game plan at all rather than a miraculous 1-0 set piece win - which hasn’t happened.

This message sums us up in a nutshell at the moment BDS! We need better, starting during this second half as one win in eight after this isn’t boding well for 2019. 

No, the momentum and buzz from last year has definitely gone. We have a slog ahead of us. 

I think we had a good chance this year to surprise people. However Mowbray is planning for 2022

Good finish isnt it. Graham or Dacky will be proud of it.

Great finish. Pity his passing or shooting into the opposition goal isn't so precise. 

[Tom]

Problem is I never feel we will get back into the game when trailing or even make a decent effort of it, feels defeatist but no faith we will make a game of this 

[philipl]

That Williams OG is horribly bad.

Derrick Duffy Williams.

I'm as disgruntled with Mowbray as the rest of you, but what can you do as a manager when your LB wallops it into the back of his own net under no pressure?

It actually looks like he did it on purpose. I mean his whole body position.... A better finisher than Messi.

20/1 it will be on the wing. Festive Tony 

[yellowsubmarine]

45 minutes to go! Let's hope Mowbray has a good go at it. Get an early goal and we still have a chance. May as well give Nuttall a chance since he's confident and back scoring goals for the reserves.

I was actually thinking that looked far more deliberate than Duffys. Obviously Williams wasn't, but it was just so moronic. Just kick it..... Fucking ANYWHERE  else. Like anywhere. He actually did the difficult thing. 

[Stuart]

Get in!

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Correct decision for pen.  Foul anywhere on pitch.

Great pen!!

[Bigdoggsteel]

See our problem is, for every bit of skill Dack does, we have Williams, Raya and others to do something that hurts us. 

[Doug]

Charlie boy

[OJRovers]

What formation are we playing? Why was Williams so central?

[yellowsubmarine]

MULGREWWWW!!!

Stop picking him?

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ah hope, back again. The life of a Rovers fan
