Brum FA Cup

[Mr. E]

If we are forfeiting goalkeeping for the day why not give one of the youngsters a try? We have seen everything there is to see from Leutwiler.

This is a consequence of Mowbray giving him a new deal last Summer and his nobility in “keeping players happy”. I’d have liked to have had a look at Hilton with Fisher on the bench. If not now then we are never going to see him in first team action.

Leutwiler being our number 2 is part of the problem with our goalkeeper situation.

We're in the middle of a Mowbray run. The guy is an absolute clown. 

[joey_big_nose]

Decent midfield play undone by horrendous defending and finishing.

Bit of a pattern here. We really need full backs and a striker who actually can score.

[BankEnd Rover]

Gallagher must be in the top 5 for the worst players to grace a rovers shirt. 12 million on him & that other donkey!? Enough evidence for me on Mowbray. 

[Amo]

Rovers playing so well it broke the site?

Hopefully it’s the middle and not the first 20%.

[Stuart]

Did anyone see their goal? The players tracking back might as well have been wearing GoPros for Sky given the preference to watch than to make an actual challenge!

You say that but a relegation battle will prompt Venkys to act

[davulsukur]

So we held out for 4 mins?

Impressive.....

[joey_big_nose]

Also Brereton has to be taken off.

What position is he playing?

[G Somerset Rover]

The ‘defending’ for their goal wouldn’t have looked out of place in an under 7s game. As for the ‘finishing’ by our £15 million men. Jesus wept.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Brereton was like a lost child in that first half.

Downing, Arma and Bell playing well.

Rothwell anonymous.

Changes between right wing and playing up top alongside Gallagher.

He can't trap the ball, he cant beat a player , he can't head the ball, he can't find a team mate with a pass, he can't find space on the box.

I have never seen anyone so bereft.

Never seen the Facebook groups so up in arms.

Has TM finally lost the players?

[Swanson]

Should have been 1-1, big chance for Gallagher.

Oh I don't know our three attackers defended well against themselves in that incident in the Birmingham 6 yard box in the first half

Sounds like fun I really have been turned off in recent weeks with players not doing as they are meant to do professional pride should ensure they play out of their skins with the money they earn yet Rovers players don’t seem to grasp this well done don’t in any case I don’t mind losing if they try but it seems they have given up which tells me they are no longer playing for the manager

[davulsukur]

BB off, Chapman on.

[Tugay-is-God]

All over them at the minute, could've had three since half time

[Darwen Rover 007]

We have been shocking again.. Ben is not a footballer.. no effort no tracking back, total imposter!!! And Gallagher couldn't hit a barn door!!

if thats a confidence issue,he needs sending to a hypnotist,never before have i seen a player lacking in every department

[RTM08]

So from what I have seen so far aside from the goal our defence and midfield have been fine and Bell and Downing have sent so many good balls in but our frontline is atrocious. 

 

I'd love to see their ratio of shots to shots on target because their accuracy is so, so poor.

[Wegerleswiggle]

The equaliser is coming!! Just like defenders are!!!
