Leeds (A) - Same as last year lads... kind of.

In a food analogy we have a lot of decent ingredients to work with just a chef that’s only capable of beans on toast.

Haha. Did you see that just then? That will probably go down as 2 shots at goal. Stats, stats, stats.....

Rothwell has so much ability but 20 mins as a cameo ain't enough ( game time he gets at most that is)

Or zero minutes in this case.

The TEN COMMANDMENTS of Tony Mowbray

1. Thou shall play Elliot Bennett

2. Thou shall not play Joe Rothwell 

3. Thou shall only sign players from the North East

4. Strikers are the most holy of positions and thou shall spend all your money on them

5. Thou shall take the piss out of all players under the age of 25

6. Thou shall respect your elders by signing as many thirty year olds as possible

7. Thou shall never attack, instead look to the lord for opportunities 

8. Thou shall never defend, instead look to the mighty Elliot Bennett for stability

9. Thou shall never play to your players strengths, instead place them in hardship to foster resilience  

10. Thou shall never turn up at derbies, the fans must learn honour in defeat

Every 50/50 decision gone against us today. Nyambe been awful at centre back, given the ball away 6 times so far with loose passes. Dack non-existent, Gallagher and Armstrong showed no effort or passion at all. 

We were always going to lose this game but the lack of effort and passion on display today disgusts me.

Toothless rovers at it again .. this might sound pathetic but I kinda wish we didn't snatch a win against Wednesday ..he might of actually been sacked in the international break

Yes that could prove costly over the season. Much like a certain managers win at old Trafford.

unbelievably he`s spent 11 million quid on two of these sacred strikers,one who is patently bloody useless and the other he maroons out on the wing or up front on his own

Honestly, I don't think he'd have got the bullet if we lost both. 

Venkys like to wait till it's too late and then take action.

[bluefred]

I wish venkys would just sack the clueless bastard , I’m sick of this shite .

Then he should stick to basic bread and butter beans on toast formations and tactics and play to his own coaching strengths !!!

We'd be better off for it, not much but every bit counts.

[Husky]

Never really had the feeling we would ever get back in this game.

Leeds look pretty average at best too. Certainly worse than last season.

[Exiled_Rover]

I see Bamford learned nothing from his earlier diving drama. 

[Doogs]

Cant defend. While we let 2 or 3 goals a game we arnt going to win many. Somebody should be asking serious questions about Mowbray...

[matt83]

Free hit today as no one expected anything but 5 points from 24 is relegation form by anyone’s definition. International break... DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ONCE. 

[davulsukur]

Another game...

Another defeat.

[Guest]

Barnsley a must win. Even Stoke have managed a massive win against Barnsley today. Need to win that 3-0, show some bloody effort and dominate a game for once.

[rovers11]

16 games in is a good time to evaluate and reflect - not good enough and time for a change in manager imo.

He is never off the floor. Drops like he been shot every time. 

We created very little. Dack never in the game. 

Defence needs working on and signings bought in like a centre back and left back

[Gogger]

Good thing we went for it second half, TM subs really changed the game. What a performance away at leeds, all hail TM.

I don't think Nyambe or Tosin have been bad at CB at all today, but yes Nyambe needs to improve his distribution.

Dack has been fantastic, he's just had absolutely nothing to play off. Gallagher, Downing, Evans and Armstrong have been absolute crap today. Three of those will be picked next week without question.

I wish too but there isn't any one there. 

[unleaded]

What’s happened to our new way of playing .. possession football !! 
 

TM please get out our Club ... negative football by a negative human being ... 

sucks the life out of football ... 

 

 

[G Somerset Rover]

I’ve never been so ‘meh’ about Rovers as I am right now. Turgid stuff pretty much every week and the worse aspect of it all is knowing our glorious owners will do bugger all even if we keep this terrible form going. Just meh.
