Must be really frustrating for Jdt waiting to sign the two defenders. And theirs sweet fa you can do about it

Get them two defenders in a new striker and another midfielder and it’l be job done i think

A new spine then, except for goalie

Hard to believe but Kamenski has had a fantastic game while conceding 3

Yep. Whilst we’ve created zilch. Yet again. There’s not just one or two things wrong at the minute - we’re disastrous across the park.

[Bbrovers2288]

More worried about the manner of the last last two defeats than the score lines 

[Exiled_Rover]

Right, think I'll call it a night on here.

I don't need to read through 20 pages of how we're the worst team ever. 3 games in 6 days with a paper thin squad - we were always going to struggle.

It's the same story as it has been since JDT was appointed - we need 4-5 quality signings. Anything else and we're looking over our shoulder all year. 

[davulsukur]

Worrying times.

Yes we need players but it seems like we aren't even laying a glove on these teams.

Tubbed by Paul Ince and Heckingbottom, one shocking manager and one bang average one.

I disagree. The manager's a novice. Nobody can say with any certainty the problem is purely the lack of players. 

You can disagree but as much as one can’t say with any certainty it’s purely the lack of players, they can’t say with any certainty it’s any reason at all. Indeed, if you wanna look at it from one philosophical view point, you can’t with any certainty that we’re even bad. But this is the thing with subjectivity, it has tolerances based on the subject’s view/opinion.

Edun, Pickering and Gallagher were all signed by Mowbray.

Good managers go into clubs and improve the players that are there. They can't just sign a new team straightaway....although, in his defence, he's not been given much help by 'Ask Gregg'.

Yes to be brutal should have been a few more. Same at Reading.....

Some of thats the players we have out but tactically I'm a bit worried.

[Boroblue]

Well that was appalling. Out fought, disorganised losing by only 3 is flattering.

either Thomason is no good and has flattered to deceive 

or

we have to people at this club running us into the floor. Broghton needs to get his finger out  and get his head out of waggot arse. 
players cost money the bargain basement doesn’t work. If we don’t find 6 experienced and players we aren’t promotion candidates but relegation foder.

They have pissed around all summer looking for the cheap option appointments manager and players . Smodic don’t make me laugh.if someone else wants a player they get them.

waggot Venkies and Brogton just f of

Yeap…rate him a lot, even with this awful squad. Get styles on the other side and we will be much improved.

 

[neophox]

Ayala and Kaminski Rovers best players today...

It’s pretty obvious Pickering isn’t up to the job, could do with shipping him out. Eduns not that far behind either, are we still in for Stiles or has this definately  gone cold now

Some players can't be improved, especially when the squad is so thin. You need competition in a squad. And let's not forget that Rovers were especially low on numbers when we kicked off this season.

Pickering won't be anything other than league 1 sadly.

Far too early to judge JDT with the paper thin squad and injuries.

[glen9mullan]

Very disappointing, on the whole really didnt understand what the gameplan was.

Kaminski has just stopped us losing by 5, 6 or 7.

We need players 100%, but that cannot take away from the dross which has been served up this week.

Our first 3 games we literally scored with every shot which somewhat masked the performances.

However Reading and this today, we've looked clueless.

The lack of centre backs is masking much deeper issues.

The defence did okay today, but midfield and attack was toothless.

Slow in distribution, lack of imagination and if truth be told, as uncreative as its been in a long time at Rovers.

Those early points are going to be crucial going into the next few games.

We need expereience but we also need an identity, I cant for the life of me understand what our gameplan currently is.

Believe me, after 5 years of Mowbray I desperately want JDT to breathe new life into the club. The manner of the defeats however is very worrying. Two 3-0 defeats in a few days. I don't think it's subjective to say those two performances were bad. 

Hopefully you're right and this is a 'players' thing... time will tell. 

[jim mk2]

The new manager got alot of plaudits for the the good start to the season, so he has to take some brickbats now

This is his team and the past 2 games have been poor, to say the least

 

[Andy]

Anyone talking about relegation after 5 league games (of which we’ve won 3 of) needs to have a word with themselves.

I’ve described our fans as the footballing personification of Bipolar disease - and I stick by it.

A LONG way to go this season; let’s see how the transfer window ends.

I do too. Not much he can do when he gets the ball just past the halfway line and there’s nobody down his wing.

Heat?🤣

 

[LDRover]

Oh dear. Should've been all out for reinforcements when we were top of the league, it gets more difficult to recruit for a team in rapid reverse.

Every time he got the ball there was nobody for him to pass up the line to, he was left on his own so would lose it or have to re-cycle it. Where are the tactics?!

[booth]

Burnley finished 3-3, shocking home result considering they were 3-1 up.

I've been making the same point. It can't all be blamed on lack of signings. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

They score first and it’s game over again. The white flag comes out. Sign some backbone this time.
