ROVERS v Boro

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

I hope this embarrassment on telly has an effect with the Indians and Mowbray is told this isn't any where near acceptable 

[Pedro]

I'm feeling confident. A Mulgrew brace in the second half

 

... to end 4 - 2 Boro.

Massively disagree. Didn't touch the player or the ball. The Boro player went over looking for a foul.

If you're arguing that's a foul then you're officiating the game like it's a Premier League game. With all those fouls that have gone uncalled, that would have been called in a Premier League game (basically any time someone goes to ground), you can't suddenly change your officiating standards.

This ref, quite frankly, is awful. So are we to be fair. 

Agree.  Free kick. Never a red.  Game had gone well before then.

one of the worst halves of football ive seen any team play this season. We have surrendered and given up on everything a long time before even the first whistle went. No shame, no heart, just out there to pick up a paycheck. 

This team is done. Sell Dack for as much money as possible and start rebuilding with players with passion. And if TM doesnt see that as a possibility, time to find someone who can.

No, I said we need to get rid of one of them. You then said you would question my judgement, yet you are here today saying how bad Mulgrew is. 

Caught ya  

Yead you wanted to get rid of one of our 2 best CB's. Caught ya.

He looked class last year in league 1. Hes just not up to it at this level. 

Them again none of them look good today 

Him and Rodwell have both been good alongside Lenihan as he has the recovery pace, but without that pace a simple ball over the top kills us.

Lads- I know we are annoyed, but can we cut the personal insults out please.

Thanks.

Bollocks this, looks a typical example of a manager not strengthening - "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

Too many players either not good enough for the league or too relaxed due to zero competition.

Graham, Dack and Mulgrew look half the players they were earlier on.

I imagine some of the better players are deflated no one was brought in to strengthen for a push too.

Wasn't turning out to be a bad season but what an immense derailing of a team by Mowbray.

Manager of the month? He needs a Golden Raspberry to knock the spring out of his step.

[G Somerset Rover]

Worse than anything under the Kean/Coyle days that half - and I ain’t joking.

‘Boro won’t have an easier game all season. I still can’t get over how pathetic we’ve been. 

 

You weren't at Reading on Wednesday.  The rubbish served up there is why I haven't bothered going today

Mowbray doesn't know what to do - his time with us is drawing to a close.

The man who called me a pillock likes your post. ?

[savage90]

Hasselbaink is EXACTLY right. He doesn't need to go down and should be the stronger of the two. Terrible decision making from both defenders. A shambles so far.

I can not find the game on ESPN + supposed to be on but goes to Bristol and Wolves.  Probably as well.

Re the sending off. He doesn’t get the ball or the man for me. Had Williams stayed on his feet sure nothing would have come of it but once he flails around Fletcher was always going down which then give the ref a decision.

He has form for doing this.

Spurs away under Kean was probably worse. Not by much though.

Where is the midfield we are being over run all over the place as for the red card harsh yellow for me let's hope second half is much much better

No, I was pointing out that our defence is shit as it stands and something needs to change. You wanted to keep Mulgrew and Lenihan yesterday, but you have done a 360 today. That's fine. Just admit it! 

[Butty]

I know I’ve been saying our season is over but Jesus. Out thought, out fought, out worked, out played. An awful first half that.. 

[AdamRochina]

Rodwell and reed should be our central midfielder pairing .. Rodwell when he's in the cm position has looked class ..him and reed could run games 

[philipl]

Rovers second best all over the park but from 35th minute began to have some self-belief until the sending off which was excessively harsh. Rot started from three horror giveaways by Reed in first 5 and we were totally over powered for the next 30.

Will be fortunate for this not to be a heavy defeat.

I'd tend to agree. Buying players like  Bell and BB an

I'd still keep them both but you thought Lenihan was an option to leave. Embarrassing.
