Winterburn was a decent defender and became 'a defensive coach' and, IMO, was hopeless at it.

You need the right mindset.  Howard Kendall had it, Mark Hughes had it, Big Sam had it.

Do we know what happened to Hughes?

He was sensational for us and Wales, then he turned into an awful manager.

5 foot 9 Ayew beating Lenihan in the air every time. 
 

Fuck off.

Rovers: Pears, Nyambe, Lenihan (c), Williams, Rankin-Costello, Trybull, Evans, Holtby, Elliott, Armstrong, Brereton.

Substitutes: Stergiakis, Gallagher, Chapman, Davenport, Buckley, Wharton, Dolan.

I think I might paint some architrave this afternoon, after all.

If you do, can I watch the paint dry?

I don't think Lenihan is much taller than 5'10.

should never have gone to city,i think it messed up his mindset and he`s never been the same

[Exiled_Rover]

Clumsy from Evans, that's a penalty (albeit a v soft one).

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Evans a bloody liability

[matt83]

The tony Mowbray post match excuses drinking game. Drink when blames Covid, injuries or uses phrases akin to we go again and early days. Won’t be able to stand up at 17:05

[chaddyrovers]

Good chance for Armstrong 

[Stuart]

OMG!!

[Exiled_Rover]

Armstrong misses so many chances. 

[SoldierMo]

Thats 3 chances 2 more then he will score

[Mercer]

This is awful.

Mulling over what to do next.

Stick with it and open another bottle of red or go to the local for an early tea as we'll all be living like monks next week.

Just stuck a tenner on Swansea to win 4-1 at 70/1.

Its all about results even if you play good and lose its nothing worth. We have to take our chances in games. Same old stuff.

Tbh, both Evans and Lenihan looks like they are running on their heels. Looks like they're stomping, and not at all light on the feet. Someone should look at their running technique

[Dreams of 1995]

Probably the worst I’ve seen us play to be honest. All season we’ve at least looked lively on the ball. Terrible in all departments. 
 

Has to be a big half here. We are on a shocking spell. So disappointing. The let downs are all too common as a Rovers fan these days. Think we’ve been on the same rollercoaster for a few years now. 

[Dolly blue]

.....and , what’s worse... we’ve Tony’s half time words to come ...He’s delusional , yes there’s Covid but when , oh when , is he going to put out a team that knows how to defend?

.....and then, there’s his mate’s lad in goal.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Swansea won't be top 6. Ayew apart they look bang average.  That said, they've got enough to beat us.  

We simply aren't clinical at both ends of the pitch.  

 

It will be another season where we put a run together at some stage, get a sniff of the playoffs then fall away.

Rovers in "behind at half time shocker"

I don't he can be called an awful manager in the same breath as linking him back here, given the truly awful ones we've mostly had.

Fact is he was just the right fit at the right time. Like Souness was before him before his shelf life expired.

Mowbray has been similar but more in an off pitch way than on it. We are now where we were again when we got Souness in and Hughes and Sam.

Change desperately needed to drive it forward rather than just fight fires.

I'd give Hughes another go tomorrow.

[SuperBrfc]

Lenihan is to blame for so many of the goals that we concede. It's actually unbelievable how many goals his crap defending has cost us. I'm not basing this on the Reading game or today, this has been going on for the last 3 seasons. Is it any wonder we concede so many soft goals with him thought of as our 'best' defender. He is never a centre back for me and it's infuriating to see the same crap every game. 

[Doogs]

3 points above the bottom 3 as things stand....But hey ho Tony's taking us up.

[yellowsubmarine]

We need a Swansea sending off in the second half to even things up.
