Sheffield united away- League cup

[Tugay-is-God]

Yeah, I mean, like was mentioned before, why are we bothering to play Leutwiler?

We already know that he's miles out of his depth.

[neophox]

Armstrong really is a shite striker.. could easily had a hattrick.

[1864roverite]

A mistake from the keeper and we concede an atrocious goal. Smallwood should not be wearing a shirt

[neophox]

Well we all knew Tony would forfeit this..

[Russ]

Should've been a routine catch for Leutwiler, only under pressure from his own player (Cunningham) presume he didn't call for it?

No threat whatsoever until he punched meekly to their player

May as well have gone for a full reserve team if putting the known liability reserve goalie in.

But Mowbray and logic don't mix.

Well, a number of players are making a determined bid to be excluded from any future 18.

I'd have preferred far less first teamers playing if he did.

I have SU to win to nil.

Learned my lesson. Not betting on t'Rovers again ?

Does anybody really WANT to progress.  Never want to lose but is it worth the extra games?  Unless we can get a plum home tie it seems a bit pointless right now.

Yes I do, I don’t care who we get in the next round 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Armstrong is a let down. Something about him that I don't like in a player. I think he comes accross as petulent and lazy. Absolutely zero chance I would trust him with a penalty either.

Bit naughty but given the Evans - Smallwood partnership is a proven failure it’s quite apt.

Waste.

In fairness sounds like we have fielded a reasonably strong team and are all over them, but ballsing up at the back as usual.

Can’t see the game, who in particular apart obviously Leutwiler and Smallwood?

You're like the anti-Mercer.

Agreed. Mowbray puts him ahead of Rothwell which makes it worse. Very worrying.

Can't put all the blame for everything at their feet. It's lazy at best. We played a strong team and were doing well before an individual error. An error which wasn't from Smallwood or Evans.

Smallwood played a poor back pass which led to the corner in the first place to be fair.

Armstrong > Brererton, Samual  (that’s the scary thing but he is streets ahead of them)

game over

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Horrible second goal, too.

 

[1864roverite]

that ball went through 5 Rovers players who shied away from the ball !

Ya that's fair enough. Still though, I think the two lads get unfair criticism when the likes of Armstrong and Leutwiler are arguably worse and more to blame 

[neophox]

Stearman 33 and Jagielka 37 are two of the slowest centrehalfs ive seen and Armstrong cant run away from them...

[OJRovers]

Rovers much the better side on the whole.

Losing because we have a non league standard keeper in net.

Dack and Armstrong starting to form some good understanding and playing well.

I'm the first to hold my hands up as a critic of Mowbray's new style BUT it is good to watch and is starting to bed in.

Buckley is quality he plays like the ball is glued to his foot.

We can't defend crosses still.

Smallwood should not be on the pitch, simple as that.
