This has been absolutely terrible.

The front 3 totally anonymous, Rothwell the only player with any urgency but often with minimal end product, Trybull no better than Evans in that role and Whartons lack of quality on the ball nearly costing us once or twice.

Production values have been particularly bad too, showing needless replays and missing attacks and just some dreadful camera work. I dont think overall its been too bad this season but today its been beyond amateur. Commentators talking their usual nonsense too.

It certainly is rubbish today. I got camera induced motion sickness and potential eye damage from sun glare.

Luton the better team but just as ineffective as us in advanced attacking positions.

Douglas and trybull look so far off the pace its unbelievable. 

Wharton's passing is Sunday league level 

Rothwell the best of a very bad bunch

he needs someone next to him that can play a bit too.

Is Mowbray there, have not seen him. Seems Venus is giving instructions..

He's not going to increase the amount of ground the midfield covers though, which I would say is our primary problem at the moment. 

what about someone to put their foot on the ball and play passes to our own side instead of 3rd division stuff ?

[Ruaney]

I don’t think it’s so much Trybull’s fault he’s not having a good game. He’s being asked to play a role that doesn’t suit his strengths at all / isn’t where he plays.

 

Either swap him with BJ or take him off. But I won’t say he’s rubbish because it’s classic Mowbray playing players out of position!

 

Without Holtby we need Elliot in CM with Rothwell and one of BJ and Trybull

Calm down, soon Dacks is back!

[G Somerset Rover]

I fear Mowbray’s solution here will be to bring on Gallagher on the right flank and pump 90mph balls at his nose.

IS Mowbray there?

[AllRoverAsia]

I dont think that Armstrong and the offside rules have been formally introduced

Anyway the positive is playing in Blue & W away from home. What a beauty of a kit.

Buckley should be Holtby's understudy. Otherwise why isn't he out on loan?

Dismal first half. Luton first to second ball and passing quality is better than Rovers. Elliott and Brereton barely in the game. Rothwell the best of a bad bunch. Hopefully better second half and nick a 1 nil

To be fair to Brereton, the ref seems to give a foul against him every time he gets near the ball.

If he jumps then it's a foul.  Doesn't jump?  Foul for backing in.  Then down the other end Lenihan concedes a free-kick because the Luton lad refused to try to head the ball.

With the decision to book Rothwell but not Elliott Lee, this ref looks like he's on the take to me.

Isn't that his solution to all of our on field problems?

Well, he should be out on loan because he’s not good enough for us.

Doesn’t have the work rate or the strength for this division.

What are his strengths?

He can't pass and has no vision for forward runs, so you'd think he might be a decent defender, but he just started the second half by letting someone step past him like he was a training cone.

Nobody missed a tackle before?

[USABlue]

Elliotn quiet today, ciuld do with a bit of magic from him.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Poor game this.

Sure, but he's missed more than he's made since he got here.

Still not seen anything from the bloke. I don’t think he’s made a forward pass since he’s been here.

Would like to see Downing replace him. Has the class that we miss from Holtbe

That’s just untrue. Not playing well today? Yes. Played well in his other games prior to this? Yes.

[Oldgregg86]

I’m sick of saying it but give davenport Evans and trybulls shirt . One isn’t even ours, neither is Evans really we loan him from Northern Ireland. Sick of watching games where no one has a shot that makes you go ooohh or nearly just utter boring shite 

[Exiled_Rover]

Did Mowbray give all the players two weeks off?

We're struggling to find each other with the ball.

[BlackburnEnd75]

I like Trybull. But he is being completely misused here.

Let him sit in midfield or get him off quick.

I'd have elliott as rcm. And bring on another attacker

Yeah, agree with this! Play him in his natural position or take him off. Playing him here will quickly make him a scapegoat to the fans - can already see it happening on this very thread
