v Bristol City (a) - 20/11/21 (& local info for those heading to the gate, from a Bristol City follower)

[Gone to seed]

Rovers forward passing is abysmal. Nearly as crap as the ref's eyesight

[yankfan]

We have been absolute shite going forward. Continuing to put us under pressure 

[Gogger]

This ref almost as weak as Buckley

[Fraserkirky]

Weak

[OsloRover]

The linesmen are some of the worst I’ve ever seen, are they sleeping?

[Darrenbot]

Someone should tell the team the way to win is scoring goals and you cant score goals if you don't actually get a shot on goal.

[DE.]

Enjoyed that. Always good to have no shots on goal for 45 minutes against the 18th placed team in the league, 

[booth]

No shots.

No shots on target.

No corners.

Tony puts on another defender.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Mowbray won't have a clue why we're so shit

 It's the silly boosterism....

Simply not good enough. Not got going yet. 

Don't understand the Ayala coming on or going 3 at the back. Would have bought on Dolan 

[K-Hod]

No shots that half, an attacker gets injured, so we bring on a centre half.

Looks like we are protecting the 0-1 defeat.

[JohnD]

This isn't over if we can string a few passes together albeit we haven't done so far

[roversfan99]

Absolutely rubbish performance in which we simply havent offered any attacking threat.

Nyambe has been terrible, Edun has been shaky too. Brereton has been piss poor as a central striker, clumsy and simply doesnt time his runs well enough, keeps straying offside. Khadra has good feet but never gets the last bit right, and Buckley has been really poor, like a performance from him 2 years ago.

The sub wont help us get back into the game either.

[The Mighty Chaffinch]

Conclusion made after that atrocious 45: Sheffield United must be abysmally shit 

[TonyM]

The 2nd half has to be better than that was.........(trying to be positive)

[Gone to seed]

I think we have to be grateful we are only one down at half time. Needs some serous attention over the break.

God some negativity on here. We are up against a city club who can get over 15000 home fans and were in the top flight barely 40 years ago. What do some of you lot expect? 

[OsloRover]

My guess is that since Nyambe and Edun were clearly struggling, Ayala was brought on to push those two further up the field. Also we have been crying out for Ayala to handle all those set pieces into our box.

MUST improve second half.

 

[jim mk2]

This is just like the match I attended at QPR a month ago...... absolute rubbish and just a nothingness with players going through the motions

[yankfan]

Edun’s worst performance in a Rovers shirt so far. Poveda and Khadra also mostly poor. Would like to see Dolan on for Khadra

Ayala for Poveda when we've got attacking options on the bench.

Some of our best attacking options too, in Dolan and Rothwell. If he wanted to go more defensive, Rothwell coming on to play mid would make more sense than totally shutting up shop.

He also wasn't, presumably, going to make this formation switch until Poveda was injured..so just bring Dolan on. Makes it up as he goes this bloke.

I’m actually surprised they have played top flight football. Sure Bristol has a stat of biggest place to effectively do nothing. Perhaps it’s biggest place not to win a trophy. 🤷‍♂️

Rovers Corner! WoOOO HOO!
