Evans/Trybull in CM Christ almighty.

The City lad at CB.

There's absolutely no thought, planning or tactics to any of this is there?

It's simply a case of giving  players a bit of playing time on a rota basis to keep them happy.

I.e. "The Tony Tombola".

He looks like he’d like a bit of bingo with his lemon drizzle does Tony. He’s probably trolling the owners and Bob the builder Waggot. He wants the sack and his pay off, but he won’t be getting it.

I actually think this is the best we've been in quite some time. Not hard I appreciate that but still, it's something

'Blackburn are very comfortable creating opportunities and they are very often taken '

 

Bwaaahaa

[simongarnerisgod]

settled pretty well here,though no attacking threat at all

[Swanson]

Wow....was that an attempt at goal from Evans? 😅

[Tom]

On top at the moment, Bell looking good going forward but a worry at the back.

Rothwell looking our main threat 

[1864roverite]

Maybe the pitch is actually helping

Lots of possession but we done nowt with it really 

[jim mk2]

Lots of passing to no purpose. Looks nice but achieves anothing

[roverandout]

Tend to turn the sound off when rovers are on sky...theyre clucking clueless 

[superniko]

Trybull is comfortably the best holding midfielder in our squad. 
We look a lot better in the middle without Travis (the unfit Travis since his return)

Imagine a winger or full back that could actually get to byline and cross it for a centre forward to either score or supply Armstrong with a knock down? Instead he cut back and pass it in field. Every. Single. Time.

no height in the box😖it`s got to back through the middle,easiest way to defend imo

Exactly this, we still don't look like scoring or even creating an opportunity.

Tony will be getting a proper semi over this possession though.

[Mercer]

Not impressed with Reading

Maybe, a surprise result - might consider laying my bet.

Hes getting forward but looks scared to do anything other than a 10 yard pass back.

Nah, they have quality going forward.  They haven't got into 2and gear yet.

Come on, we've started well enough, don't jinx it now.

It's like the exact opposite of when Big Sam was here. Maximising possession and doing nothing with it - give me Sam's no possession, solid defence, make the most of your few chances brand of football any day of the week over this drivel.

Might be overlooking an obvious one - but when was the last time we scored a header from a winger/full back cross from open play?

[roverandout]

Rovers have done nothing going forward.  Reading have already made 3 or 4 good opportunities 

[J*B]

Where are this lot getting fresh haircuts from!

[Sparks Rover]

Great defending
