v Bristol City (h) - 12/3/22

[G Somerset Rover]

Feels like we’ll never score again. Khadra’s winner against QPR should have been the catalyst for more, yet here we are, 1 goal in 8.5 games. Embarrassing.

[Fraserkirky]

Pickering hasn’t been in their half at all here, playing with 5 defenders, no wonder the goals have dried up.

[West Yorks Rover]

Alex Scott just fouled again after being booked 5 mins ago, we could do with a sending off for them.

[ItsRoverZ]

Really really poor from rovers this. Rothwell looks a different player since January,  Buckley is good but not as a false 9,  no striker in a strikers position and overall too much tinkering

First 20 mins they were significantly better than us. 
This formation has been well and truly found out. Another 0-0 incoming 

Nope. Not what happened. 0-0 entirely likely though.

[pick32]

It’s so boring to watch this team

[superniko]

Worst we’ve played for a while this. 
Don’t look like we’re up to much.

Mowbrayism.

[J*B]

This is absolutely painful get Buckley and Gallagher off they’re hindering us if anything. 

[bluebruce]

Good touch and turn onto the shot there from JRC tbf.

[yankfan]

Best chance is created with two backs in the attack and furthest forward. It highlights the issue, we’re relying on defenders for goals. Never a great strategy. 

[Cherry Blue]

Lack of confidence. Need a leader. 

[jim mk2]

Is Tony aiming to beat the record for number of minutes since a goal from open play? In fact, when did we last score a goal from open play? 

[OsloRover]

Utter borefest of a half.

Lenihan superb, van Hecke pretty good and the rest haven’t showed up yet.

[pick32]

Get Dolan and Dack on

If it wasn’t for Van Hecke they would have scored in the first 25mins. Maybe even two. We were getting carved. 

[benhben]

Get Dack at half time. He might not be fit or even able to run anymore but he's the only player in the squad with any nouse in the box

Bored of this 5 st the back and no striker now. It served us well but go back to two out and out up front. That's when Khadra and Brereton were most effective 

 

[OldEwoodBlue]

765 minutes. Not a sniff.

This is going to be a yet another new managerial record for the genius.

I think we’re over 800 min now. Around 9 full matches since our last one

I am pretty sure that if you had gone this many games without even a sniff of a goal, ANY other manager would think to change the way we are playing. Even Coyle... but not Tony. Halfwit.

We have had plenty of sniffs, especially against Millwall. We are just turning our nose up at them.

Thought he was poor in the build up. Looked clueless and gave a poor ball.

Think it was Gally's winner.

Buckley is at least a very talented player when it's going well.

How Gallagher has made it this far in the game is just absolutely beyond me. I just can't envisage him doing anything other than showing himself up in any training drills that would require a first touch.

[ItsRoverZ]

I don't get why after dolans good performances and his energy and press we then refuse to play him and use the ineffective Gallagher..

We’ve seen us go up a man and loft 60 crosses in to no body. We might need to have 2 sent off to score.
