v Hull City (a) - 19/1/22

[Danny O.Brien]

Khadra looking like our only threat which begs the question, why not match him up on the right side instead of playing a wide target man? Absolutely baffled. Making a sturggling team look good. Exactly the same as the Cardiff game but we got away with that thanks to kinky making a few good saves.

yeah ill still take nyambe

For those who've knocked him you can see just how important Travis is to the way we play this season.

As for Gallagher i'm no hater but every time he starts in these formations the team is disjointed straight away. If Mowbray has turned into the Championship PEP overnight this particular blind spot will put paid to that if he doesn't get to grips with it.

Gallagher to equalize now....😁

[slowmo]

Think we are missing Travis in midfield,  Davenport on for Gallagher

If we sell Nyambe in this window then hoooo boy, we had better hope big Z is half-decent and stays fit, or we are stuffed.

What the fuck has he changed the formation for? You’re not as clever as you think Mowbray, you stumbled upon a winning formula, stick with it.

He can’t help himself.

Wilder's Middlesbrough up next and difficult away match at in-form Luton after..... is this the start of Tony's death spiral (2022 edition)? 

[superniko]

I’ll be amazed if he makes any changes at HT, or before 55 mins even.

He’s in the stand watching. 
Easy team talk for him: “Get at their wing backs”

It’s a winter break scenario with Germany. May have been training on his own, but it’s not exactly full-team training, which you’d imagine is a lot more helpful for getting back to it

To be honest, he could have been in hibernation for 3 months and still be better than JRC has been tonight. 

[jim mk2]

Eaves in the player Gallagher should be ...... big and strong and leading the line with his physical presence.

Terrible performance aside, the real question to come from that first half is whether that girl with the Hull owner is his daughter or his wife?  

Might be future 4th Wife

It’s a shame we can’t put Edun in midfield he’s far better there.

[roverblue]

Really poor half, no need to tinker with the formation and setup but Tony couldn’t resist. Needs reverting back and subs on asap to turn this around 

[neophox]

Come on Rovers! Do us proud second half!

Jesus. That was awful. Blatant penalty aside, we've been abysmal. Rothwell, Buckley, Gallagher, Rankin-Costello all rubbish so far. JRC clearly not up to this and it is a bad call by Mowbray to have picked him there against Lewis-Potter, as is the attack line which looks all wrong. Does the club get to claim Gallagher's wage back for not remotely doing his job? We'd may as well be down to 10 men again.

How does this get better second half? I just don't see it.

Buckley has played the pass for our two big opportunities, not sure exactly why you've singled him out. Bloody Mowbray has stifled him and Rothwell by making the bizarre decision to play without a defensive midfielder.  He's shoehorned Gallagher in and unbalanced us because of it. 

Change it now, take Gally off and put Davenport on, allow Buckley and Rothwell to take the shackles off a little bit. 

[CambridgeRover]

He changed the formation to fit in Gallagher

Mowbray diaster-class 

[simongarnerisgod]

few tweaks in midfield please tony,hull are just mopping up the ball,ask them more questions and they`ll concede im`e sure,apart from the goal they`ve barely done anything,this is when a good manager earns his money,getting a reaction after half time,not sure tony likes changing things to much though

Yes, he goes back each time, doesn't commit the full back/wing back.....RN knocks it past and tests them....top player Ryan

Sadly, yes, it probably is.

What kind of mind does that? You only do that with an excellent player.

[Dan]

Why the fuck is Gallagher still on. Fuck off Mowbray. 

[Gav]

Come on Rovers.

[DE.]

Gallagher 😂 total carthorse.

[duckson]

Gally cocks it up. Hook.
