v Sheffield United (a) - 20/8/22

[Exiled_Rover]

Ugh, good free kick from a soft foul. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Game over

[booth]

I picked the wrong time to tune in.

[davulsukur]

There it is. 

We can handle defeats but not when we aren't even remotely competitive.

So so naive. Silly fouls and chasing shadows. Spineless display.

I'm bed-bound with Covid.  Now might be the right time to log off and go back to sleep.

[Sweaty Gussets]

Maybe JDT isn't the messiah.....or maybe we just need new players..........or both???????

[pick32]

Rather lose 7-0 then keep sitting back like this is so embarrassing 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Flood gates will open now. 

Pathetic. As widely predicted.

You realise Sheffield Utd aren't a Champions League side, right?

We don’t look like a championship side.

Huge gulf in class here. Not surprising really. Keep saying it but we have a really poor squad. 

I'd love to know what Szmodics offers.

Game over ..Rovers dire ..JDT system simply not working ...we need signings and we need them fast 

We're saying the same every week. What betting we're talking about the January transfer window as soon as September comes around?

Midfield at nothing again. Dream to play against. 

[Darwen Rover 007]

We need to bring Morton on and have Travis sitting in front of the defence with Buckley and Morton in front of him.

We simply haven't got the players!

Not sure about that, though the passing it out from the back is something new and I wish he'd stop with these players.

Edun, Gallagher, Pickering... They aren't players you can rely on. If money is an issue get Brereton sold and get some decent players in.

[Fraserkirky]

Not even on the same level as Sheff Utd. 
amazing how we have room in the team for lower league fodder like Pickering, Edun and Sammie but no room for a Liverpool wonderkid.

Harsh picking on one player, but it's a little concerning that this bloke was the best our recruitment team could come up with.

Sorry to hear that. Get well soon, or GWS.

The 2 in midfield are shocking.. we need s third in midfield .. change the fucking system.. there is no high press.. hasent been all seasons.. there is no fluid front 4 hasent been all season..  its just so poor ..very easy for other teams..  infuriating 

[BigBar]

We need to go more direct. Yes, route one.

[superniko]

I keep seeing talk of JDT’s style of play, usually involving why Dack isn’t suited to this alleged “high press”. I’ve genuinely seen nothing this season to show we haven’t regressed as a team

This is looking increasingly worrying. Even in the games we won we created next to nothing and there has been no sign of anyone coming in.

As most expected, with the players we lost last season we will be lucky to compete at a midtable level.

[roverblue]

It’s one thing to be be lacking quality in certain areas but tactically it’s abysmal. There is acres of space between players when we get the ball leaving a player to turn back or just hit and hope. The players need to get much closer to each other for some short simple passes. Ball retention is the worst I’ve seen since Kean days 

[Guest]

We’re gonna get annihilated here

Well of course - take 4 CBs out of any Championship squad and they'd be fucked too. 

Ayala is our only calm, experienced, top quality footballer. Our best player every game so far this season.

Nowt to do with 4 CBs
