He’s 23, not even that young. 

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

a fascinating divergence of opinion on here as to whether Hirst is worse than Szmodics. do you prefer strychnine or arsenic?

[tonyoz]

Again we manage to make a poor team look good! Totally outplayed, their manager has watched our poor away performances and has employed high energy bully boy tactics and, as usual, we can’t cope. Poor passing…..most of it backwards….and poor control. They look dangerous, we are impotent……it’s getting to be a habit.

[Polky]

What is the game plan? Looks like we just piss about at the back and then one pass forward and we’ve lost the ball.

The players look like they don’t have a clue what they’re doing.

Szmodics and Hedges off for Dolan and Brittain. Bit harsh on Hedges given he was in that bizarre role again.

The players are doing what they're told to do by the manager

It's not even that high energy and we're struggling.

Yeah would have rather put Hedges forward and took off Hirst. 

[Displaced Rover]

Surprised he took Hedges off. Much rather have taken off Hirst and pushed Hedges into the front 3

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Can it get worse?

[BigBar]

Oh yeah remember the big talk of high pressing intense football that we were promised 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Only because Hirst stays on. 

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers need to increase the tempo and as we seen from a couple of decent moments we had that we cut through Wigan defence. I keep mentioning the tempo thing every game cos we haven't been good enough. 

Surprised to see Hedges off.

And bizarre that Hirst hasn't gone off, he's done literally nothing.

[DE.]

Guess the detractors had a point after all. Not convinced this is going to help much, mind, but nick a goal and I can see us scraping a 1-0. 

[LDRover]

Not seeing much of Pongo Lowe on match days and that can only be a good thing.

[garnersfags]

JDT was very critical of our performance at Cardiff, but it is down to him to find a slight change to formation or personnel, to get at least one shot on target in the 2nd half. 

Literally any team can render up totally impotent, just by turning up. Doesn't matter how they play, who they play, whether they play. 

It's unfathomable. 

Brittain and Dolan to the rescue. I really hope they allow Brittain to play as creatively as we know he wants to. 

Let's go for it!

The players will know what JDT wants. 

[Tricky]

Strange, could have just left Hedges on, taken Hirst off and played a cavalier 442

[WacoRover]

They give the ball up as easily as we do. 

[booth]

Forward, forward, forward, Breretons got it... Pass back, pass back, concede a foul.
