Our midfield two are non-existent, I think Wharton needs to come off. He looks like a red card waiting to happen too with him already being on a yellow.

Bristol have played well but it's easy when there's so much space to play in. Lucky to be only 1-0 down. 

Hyam has been our best player. 

Unlucky not to be 1-0 ahead in the first minute - miss of the season contender.

Or he should set his teams up better..his tactics and style of play are piss poor

He’s trying to encourage them to play out from the back, but I don’t think there’s enough intuition among the back four+Kaminski to do it. CBs on the 6-yard line is something I cannot abide, it’s too technical, too %age-focused, especially as with a pressing opponent, it’s usually hoofed long.

Weimann seems to rip us to shreds every time we play him.

Best player on pitch so far for me. 

Played right back for them last season and still won the game.

Good player.

Brereton has gone full Rothwell post January here. 

To be honest we had Diaz for about 4 months the rest of it has been pure Brereton.

Got to question the management here.  People now going on about Wharton isn't the messiah etc...what a load of shit.  He's 18 and should not be playing 2 games in less than a week, simple as that.   He mismanaged Phillips and now Wharton.

Sort it out Tomasson

[BigBar]

Genuinely if Buckley comes on I hope he makes a massive impact and some heart after being dropped.

Very open game, but Rovers second best. Doing to us, what we did to Blackpool. Big half coming up.

Said it during the transfer window, for all the talk of centre backs and forwards..the thing that's killing us each game is having zero physicality in CM. Even if they weren't the most technical player someone with a bit of pace, height, aggression and stamina Is so badly needed. Especially only playing 2 in there.

For all their ability, Morton and Wharton will get bullied as a pair in most games.

Maybe see if Mola could do a job. 

Said the same.  Kids that age are also inconsistent. Not knocking them, it's just the way it is. 

So, lacking any pace up top/out wide and bullied again in midfield. Two areas that most of us highlighted during the window.

Expect some reaction, similar to Stoke.  No doubt we'll huff and puff.  Can't see us getting owt though.

It does concern me that we're constantly making a couple of subs at HT. Just suggests JDT is not getting it right from minute one.

In fairness, I think he would have got some stick had he left him out. May sub him at half time though.

Not watching game as at kids party (*shakes fist*) but all I can say is Rovers in 4231 getting done by team playing 343. ... quel surprise.

[Gav]

Dolan and Buckley coming on, for Dack and Hedges.

Buckley actually looks pissed off and focused.

[superniko]

Dack off - thought he was the best of the front 4 (not saying much admittedly)

[JohnD]

We need three in midfield, at least three

[ItsRoverZ]

Dack off?!

[Tugay-is-God]

Surprised that Wharton wasn't one of the ones coming off. 

[roverandout]

Stop these short corners

Who's managing the team?  I would not ever play an 18 year old like this...he's not even build like Rooney, the lad is slight.

Shocking management for me.

You called it pre match. Shame our management team couldn’t see the same.

And ruin his confidence because the manager fucked up?  

[J*B]

What has Markanday done to be behind Dolan?

[superniko]

We’ve got nothing in midfield. 
Needs a system change or move Travis into the middle 

[WacoRover]

As good as we were at Blackpool, we are so poor today.
