Rovers at the Toon FA Cup 3rd Round: Saturday 5th January 2019 - 5.30pm

[SoldierMo]

I blame mowbray too stupid stupid tactics

[Husky]

Mowbray is useless. There's nothing positive you can say about the team or formation.

Set up to lose.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Absolutely needless tinkering by Mowbray with the formation and personnel. This game was there for the taking 

I'm very annoyed. 

[davulsukur]

Back 3 was an awful idea.

[K-Hod]

Missed the first 20 minutes, then saw the second goal. Good God.

[MarkBRFC71]

3 at the back idea is looking strong 

How many times do we have to try it and it end up a fkn disaster for TM to realise WE DON'T HAVE THE PLAYERS TO PLAY THAT WAY!!!

[G Somerset Rover]

This could get very embarrassing as they look like scoring every time they (rarely) attack, while we seem to be going for our 0-80 minute Milwall approach of not having a shot.

Turned over late after watching the vote and still trying to work out where everyone is playing, it looks like over half the team is playing out of position. We seem to have a lot of players miss games through 'illness'.

[FGS5635]

Even at 55 TM must be a better defender than bell. Get ya boots on TM

I wonder how many took the £20 walk on.

Surprisingly there was a large queue for walk ons and a massive queue round the block for collections.

Decent turn out in the end. Shame about the score.

[Tom]

This isn’t so splendid, another goal this half could lead to a rout

Who would you have in defence from those available?

Two FB’s at CB. 2 CM’s at WB. 2 CF’s out wide. 

TM logic. 

[LDRover]

Nyambe's 'defending' for the second goal was pitiful.

[DE.]

As poor as Bell is, at the end of the day he's a £250k buy from Fleetwood. How Mowbray can think that he is adequate for our current level is beyond me. He simply shouldn't have been bought. We didn't need him mid way through last season and he's never going to be good enough to be more than a League 1 left back. Almost as strange as the Caddis and Gladwin signings.

Bennett to right back - play Nyambe as proper centre half

Exactly.  No need to change the formation whatsoever.

Not 3 at the back with RB and LB.  Lennihan and Grayson?  Or a RM at left wing back.

Mowbray find new holes to put square pegs in.

Is there a reason why Reed persists in passing it backwards every bloody time? He did it all match against Millwall too.

Pitiful so far all round.

[Amo]

Mowbray will moan about injuries, but was THIS really the best XI he could muster?

[SoldierMo]

Iv stuck up for brereton but today he is shocking me

Apologies. Didn’t even notice it was 3 at the back it’s so all over the place.

Nyambeshould have done better against Murphy for the second goal. Bell lost out on a header that led up to it.

And then got skinned twice by Murphy. He needs dragging off.

Edit: I’m mixing up poor Amari’i with Nyambe here.

[FGS5635]

Out of our starting 11, I reckon 7, maybe 8 are playing out of position

[LDRover]

I've seen Brereton get the ball into feet 3 times now and fail to keep possession each time - he's weak as piss. Age 19 or not he'll never make a player.

Danny Graham - class there.
