More cost-cutting. Typical boardroom, we can do it ourselves cheaper, bullshit.

I said this would be a total shit-show when it was announced and got told I didn’t know what I was talking about… “it’s only a vision mixer”..!

Zero shots on goals. 

Replace a £15m striker with a young none striker, and the two strikers you spent £12m on and that's what you get.

George Evans - deliberate handball then petulantly throws the ball away.

No yellow card - so clearly this ref left his cards at home. 

Even better that Millwall got a freekick when their GK clashed with his own defender 🤣

[West Yorks Rover]

Don't worry folks, our esteemed manager will no doubt have some brilliant new tictacs up his sleeve 

for the 2nd half, which will totally bamboozle everybody concerned.

[Miker]

Ayala has been excellent. Keeping him fit for the whole season would be a game changer for us.

[tugayislegend]

Gallagher upfront anyone?

[yankfan]

Drab. We have no outlet up top. Diaz, SG and Dolan routinely beaten when we play it forward. Without any pressure up front, 0-0 is probably the best we could ask for. Without the high press from last week hard to see where the goals will come from.

There's a large amount of people since "austerity" was announced who thought the same thing and wasted thousands on equipment. Shame on Waggot for not doing his due diligence. They may get it right but I imagine will waste a lot of money to get there, probably more than sub licensing from iFollow.

[DE.]

Awful first half. 

[TheRoversReturn]

Looks like the crowd have managed to intimidate the referee. Might be a wise bet to lay on Millwall getting a (dodgy) penalty in the second half.

don`t worry lads,we`ve got tony`s inspirational words at half time to rally us for the 2nd half🥴

Not to mention the quality to come off the bench and effect the game.

[yellowsubmarine]

Tony is just lazy here. Same formation with Dolan replacing Armstrong. Our two strikers are still on wings, cant win headers, did nothing.

Rothwell and Buckley might as well not play. Missing entirely. 

Defence is slightly better so far, dealt with the corners. But u just feel Millwall will score sooner or later.

We have zero attacking threat. Long balls against Millwall is a joke.

[TheRoversReturn]

Hope Tony doesn't tinker. It's been a tight game and it could go either way. Last thing we need is yet another mid-game formation and players yet again being shifted about willy nilly. Swapping Gally and Dolan would be my only change...god knows why TM's going to think Sam's a winger until the day he leaves, but he's not looking like he's one for turning, is he?

I think you've nailed the opening remarks for Bellends post match press conference.

"They haven't seen a match here for 550 days and were always going to be up for it, we did well to match it (first half)." Zzzzzzzzzz

True. If they're going to play long balls, at least put Gally in the middle and Dolan on the wing. At least Gallagher can make a nuisance of himself against their central defenders, Dolan's a head shorter than them.

I think if you are accessing it from a UK based account you can't watch even if you are abroad

Very poor watch anyway

Carter on for Dolan. Mowbray’s famed 3 at the back it is…

[Roverthechimp]

Carter on for Dolan

Would have put Davenport on myself

Oh bloody hell, of course he's tinkered.

[simongarnerisgod]

With Carter and Ayala we have more chance of winning headers. 

[Stuart]

Imagine being a football manager who runs out of ideas so carries on doing the same things again and again regardless.

I bet he can’t believe they haven’t paid up his contract yet.

Buckley Travis Rothwell as a midfield three with Brereton and Gallagher up front

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers matching Millwall formation up now. 

Gallagher and Diaz as front 2. 

[Roverthechimp]

If it gets Rothwell and Buckley more involved as well then fair enough
