Rovers v Millwall. Wed 2nd Dec 7.45pm

[bluebruce]

Only just seen that Tony Parkes cutout in the ground

[superniko]

Lack of balance for me really, nothing in the middle. Elliott still looks like he’s playing wide, making it a 4-2-4.

Our inconsistency from game to game is the biggest problem. You can never tell which Rovers are going to turn up and it's been that way throughout Mowbray's tenure. Sometimes we're really up for it, other times it's like the lads have stumbled out of the pub and onto the pitch. Certain players more so than others. 

Typically at our worst at home since the restart too. We seem to be largely well drilled and have a game plan away from home. At Ewood we look like a bunch of strangers pretty much everytime we take to the pitch.

Nothing from Rovers since we scored or before we scored for that matter.

Everytime we attack we have looked dangerous just bloody not attcked enough....going to be a wasted opportunity

[tomphil]

Too much fecking about with yet again trying to be clever then the oppo just come and get in our faces and stop it.

Hopefully the habit of turning things around will finally set in 2nd half but i'm not confident.

Quite right he has a front row seat.

[SBlue]

Ended ok, but must do better.

If we’re playing Elliott in midfield (which I don’t think is working out too well) we have to get him on the ball more.

 

[Angry_Pirate]

Cant cope with their 3-4-3 formation.

... Also can't seem to cope with them wearing the (almost) exact same kit.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Improved towards the end of the half but overall that was shite.

Agreed.

Just doesn't look right without Rothwell down the left. Obvious half time sub. He'll bring Brereton into the game too. Not sure who we bring off though...

[Paul Mellelieu]

Defence looks okay, attack is okay it's the bit in between that's not working.

[G Somerset Rover]

Well I would say we can’t play any worse second half, but we’ve been horse sh*te for a game and a half now. 

[Doug]

Not a great first half. Three up front really leaves us lacking legs in midfield. Gally off, Rothy on. 

Commentator said bell has been here 4 years, please get a replacement soon Tony. 

[jim mk2]

Poor half. Team all over the place. Holtby awful. Gallagher on the wing. Plus ca change

[DE.]

Second time in five days we've been outplayed at home by a team we should be taking the game to. We were fortunate on Saturday and maybe we will be again tonight, but TM needs to study what's happened over these past couple of games and work out what is causing us to struggle.

Attacking-wise we have players that should be posing much more of a threat than we're seeing. Defence is what it is, can't do much about that.

I wouldn’t say Bell nor Ayala are looking okay!!! The complete opposite.

Gallagher. Done nowt.

[Ianrally]

I’m puzzled how Milwall are allowed to play in green and WHITE halves, when you have to change the colour of your shorts if they clash. 

[benhben]

Id Get Rothwell and dolan on. Brereton looks nackered and elliot despite the goal doesnt look like a centre mid. 

need some energy in the side. 

Their 4 accross the middle especially out wide is overrunning our midfield 3

[TheWeasel]

I feel like the back four is way too narrow and the midfield aren’t picking up their men going back. We’ll get punished if we continue like that

Think Gallagher has been one of our better players to be fair. Johnson Holtby Bell Ayala Brereton looking miles off it so far.

A huge downgrade on Wharton and Douglas.

We're missing Rothwell in the middle.

[Silas]

Amari Bell most of that half:

[ben_the_beast]

Holtby anonymous, Johnson looks unfit and immobile and we are getting completely overloaded on our left. Bell has done quite well considering it's been 2 v 1 against him much of the time.

Arma looks sharp and up for it. Would like to see Gally off, Elliott right and Rothwell on
