v Coventry City (a) - 2/4/22

[Silas]

We don't just lose 50/50's, we lose 80/20's too.

Really is quite something. It's like we're allergic to the ball. 

[neophox]

Worst half ever.....

Sick of this lot..

Someone needs to replace JRC. I’d argue Nyambe plays there and we play anyone else at centre back, because Nyambe is having a nightmare.

Someone needs to replace Giles. 

Someone needs to replace Gallagher. 

Someone needs to replace Buckley. 
 

 

Most importantly someone needs to replace Mowbray

Only thing that saves us us Gazza turning up with a fishing rod and a KFC bucket, telling the stewards he’s Mowbray’s mate.

I find it hard to get mad at JRC and Pickering, they are limited players and aren’t the reason we just cannot score. Rothwell and Gallagher have made my blood boil this half though.

If anyone ever says Gallagher isn't very good but he tries hard, show them this match. A big lazy bastard.

We have 4 more years of that to put up with,let that sink in.

It's really simple isn't it. We've got Giles who is a LB and Nyambe who is a RB. Neither are playing in their positions.

He takes the problem of having a central defender out and makes two.

Someone needs to replace the manager.

And so entirely predictable. We need a reset in the summer but fuck knows who they'll bring in. Every chance we could look back fondly at Mowbray whilst these wretched owners remain. 

out of the play offs!! if the teams around us take advantage of their games in hand well be sandwiched slap ban in mid table, ZERO progress at all under Mowbray in whole his time here.

[Mr. E]

Tony leaving is honestly worth missing out on play offs.

[moerpho]

I actually like Giles when he is played on the left. Been waiting to see what he and Brereton could amount to. But the way we are set up today is downright stupid and you could easily see the frustration on some of the players faces. Running around like headless chicken, lumping it forward and hoping something might come off it.....but 9 times out of 10 Gallaghers first touch sends the ball back to midfield. Now....for the love of all gods of football.....have a player-revolt and bring some much needed sense to how we are set up. This is embarassing and hopefully will not continue in 2nd half. A Brereton at 60% is still a HUGE improvement over Gallagher. 

[chaddyrovers]

We are very lucky to still be in this game. 

I would like to see these changes. 

Dolan on for JRC, Dack on for either Rothwell or Buckley and Brereton for Gallagher or Pickering. 

But we need to move to back 4 and drop this 3 at the back now

He argued with me that we had to shoehorn the available players Into this formation no matter what as it was working at one point. Wild suggestion imo 

I can understand keeping this formation if we were defensive solid and keeping clean sheets whilst scoring but we aren't. 

Time we went back to playing 4-2-3-1 formation but Mowbray won't do that

Buckley? One of very few players, possibly including Kaminski and van Hecke, to come out of these 45 with any kind of honor. Absolute disarray otherwise, this half converted me to the Mowbray out side. We cannot look this bad after 2 weeks of preparations.

Gallagher is at 20%, and I'm being kind.

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Yes there may be  lot out 'injured or unfit' But why couldn't we just simply have played a solid well balanced back 4 of Nyambe, Van Hecke, Wharton & Pickering and the packed out the midfield and just stuck Gallagher up top on his own if that's what it takes to try and stop the rot at least!! 

[Maphsa]

Easily the worst half of football I've ever seen

[roversfan99]

Absolutely embarassing, I haven't got a clue how Mowbray managed to get this bunch of no-hopers into 2nd in the first place, albeit he is accelerating that fall as quickly as anyone. Need a change next season and a revamp which wont come.

@chaddyrovers Gallagher is a waste of space no matter where he plays. Free shot central of goal, couldn't have hit it any weaker. Can't hold it up, win flick ons, bring others into play, the man is absolute shit and needs to find a new job.

Giles is pitiful, every cross hitting the first man. We could have tricked someone into buying Rothwell, but Venkys are wankers. Buckley has been shit again too.

Remember in the summer when the Analytics people were saying how great Pickering is going forward with his progressive runs etc, that turned out to be a load of bollocks. Rankin Costello is a liability too.

[AllRoverAsia]

We have just been rogered for a full half but only 1 down.

With that sort of luck, plus a players revolt there is still hope despite having a tool as a manager.

[RevidgeBlue]

I like the way we're utilising Dack.
