Brilliant from Rothwell...we have seen Rothwell is best in middle 3 but idiot Tony plays him on wing

Buckley an absoloute passenger here.

[Doug]

Buckley runs like a girl.

None of the players look comfortable where they’re playing. Travis seems to be playing pretty much RM FFS. 

Such a sh*te half but I know none of us are surprised. I’d bloody love it for one of the Sky boys to say this is Rovers, we’re not the ‘excellent footballing side’ that Mowbray and the media tell us we are. But that ain’t gonna happen.

It’s disorganised it’s dreadful but tchaddy says it’s good. How can anyone watch today and see they say the progress it’s dog shit, Boro better side and we’ve not challenged them once at there goal. Coyle football was better

Why does he keep persisting with Rothwell in that front 3.

Because he is an utterly fucking useless manager

wonder what tony`s analysts will present to him at half time??

[TheWeasel]

This last two months has been the worst football we’ve played in years. Absolutely 0 direction and 0 clue. Pathetic, boring, directionless none of our lot have a clue 

[G Somerset Rover]

Well that was pretty good....for the first 5 minutes!

Apart from Kaminski and perhaps Lenihan that was another bag of absolute horse sh*te. How anyone can defend Mowbray’s Rovers. Honestly - it’s the pits.

[yellowsubmarine]

Nyame's half time rating is his shirt number. This is just no organisation in this team now. Everyone is just filling up a position.

One shot on goal this half.

Nice Mocha Chocca Latte and Bavarian Slice...

[WacoRover]

Well that was rough

[Angry_Pirate]

Lockdown game #37.

I probably make today the 25th game Mowbray has escaped a HT/FT booing off the pitch.

Yeah I really don't get this either, Rothwell is much better running from deep.

I would get Brereton on so there is someone for the ball to stick to. Id take Buckley back off to be honest and drop Rothwell into midfield.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Poor again, although Boro are no great shakes.  We look like we are playing a handful of kids across the middle of pitch.  No pattern, few chances and inviting a dead-ball goal.

Made me laugh!

What are we betting this week's excuse is. Can't be the pitch, can't be the referee... I'm guessing the injury to Johnson will be his go to.

[jim mk2]

The bonus from that half is that we're not losing

Overall very poor, second to nearly every ball, no shape or cohesion

One defensive mistake and it's all over

[simongarnerisgod]

i know for certain that warnock will have boro fired up in the 2nd half and we`ll go the opposite

And the problem will manifest itself in the second half .  He won't sub the sub and will sub someone he shouldn't.  

[den]

Branthwaite very raw, midfield too slow, too small and losing their own personal battles. Has to get Dack in there.

It’s always going to be difficult with no centre forward.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

One first-half goal in 10 games now for Rovers.

It’s so disorganised and half arsed imagine Hughes side or souness accepting this. This is the worst football since our PL days I’m fuming
