v Reading (a) - 20/3/22

[Blow-in]

Tony needs to borrow that piece of paper Ince has in his hand.

[BigBar]

This team out there right now has about as much balance as me after 10 pints!

This is worse than the first half against Derby.

Defensively it is. I see I was right to say we should stick with the 5 at the back.

On another day (pears in goal) they would of probably scored 4 🤣

6, you are forgetting the 2 he would throw in himself.

Been chronic for months chaddy, we are horrific to watch 

[Exiled_Rover]

We've been terrible since Khadra went off injured.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Buckley and Rothwell

Like playing with 9 men here.

[ItsRoverZ]

I don't think there is any fixing this though for second half..we have already used one sub for a defender on for an attacker 

Who comes on now? What changes can we make formation wise?

Presume that's why we play Kaminski.

[CambridgeRover]

Another huge chance for reading,

As bad a performance I have seen, worse than first half last match

[bluebruce]

God I hope this is our bad half.

[Miker]

We're our own worst enemy. Too many individual mistakes giving them goal scoring opportunities, and Mowbray playing Giles at RWB is handicapping us for no reason.

[jim mk2]

So which players are going to lead this half-time revolt and tell Mowbray what to do?

Yes. Who do you think is defending to the right of Lenihan?

Giles. 

[BigBar]

Get Buckley off he's fucking shit!!!

[Paul Mellelieu]

Deck to come on, so all not lost.

Anybody look forward to rovers games these days?

Yeah , love puzzles and mystery , trying to work out each game whose playing where and what formation passes a good 90 /180 minutes each week . Great value at 185 quid a year.

[simongarnerisgod]

ewood will be empty next year if mowbray signs a new deal😪

[Angry_Pirate]

Dack for Buckley, change to a fucking back 4, Giles left wing, Dolan right wing, Gallagher 9.

So simple. Everyone (bar one) can see it.

There's actually 6 if you count Rothwell who is doing more defending than attacking.

We could do with his composed decision making right now.

Well, Dack anyway, not sure about this Deck fellow.

Tony being out-thought by Paul Ince.....that takes some doing

Yep, Mowbray against IInce, that's a managerial masterclass for the ages.

It's like Klopp v Guardiola.

In reverse.

Not really Bbrovers for me. Its ain't that bad but Derby 1st performance was one of the worst performance I've seen. 

I'm listening to today game on BBC Radio Lancs. Will watch the full game on Rovers TV tomorrow

I don't think even Dack can rescue this, we look as bad as we've ever been. Reading could be 5-0 up.

[jim mk2]

Made a late decision not to go in view of A34 road closure.... looks a good move so far
