v Cardiff City (a) 04/10/2022

[BigBar]

This game is not end to end or seems anyway intense. Dack needs a decent amount of time, ideal for him if it continues down this path. They are sitting off in the final third.

Defence is all over the place too much fannying around 

Managers orders.

We look so much more vulnerable in a 4231.

We look vulnerable any game where the opposition press, because we mess around with the ball in our own box.

Midfield getting over run

JDT keeps on pushing so many players up. Why not have one more in the middle?

[Tom]

Remember us nearly signing Kipre, looks pretty agile if a little overly ambitious 

[Gav]

Brilliant from Pickering.

[G Somerset Rover]

Hard to see what the plan is here (again). We look pretty dreadful (again).

[Proudtobeblue&white]

It's getting worse.

[K-Hod]

Good defending eventually, but it never should have reached that point. We give away far too many chances for my liking.

[J*B]

I know it’s only the 21st minute but as yet Szmodics and Buckley have done nothing. 

[Tom]

Ayala a little lucky there after hanging out a leg, great interception from Pickering to rescue us 

[BigBar]

As an Irishman is nice to benefit from the limited ability of Robinson and O'Dowda for once🤣🤣🤣

Saying that we are trying our best to assist them!

[jim mk2]

If Rovers are under manager's orders to play like this Tomasson hasn't a clue......

[superniko]

Pickering is having a very good first 20. 

Travis anonymous. Take the shithousery out of his game and he’s basically Jason Lowe. No speed, strength or skill really that would surpass the lower end of the Championship. 

[OsloRover]

Romeo off injured, not too disappointed by that

[Darwen Rover 007]

JDT has to see the signs, similar to previous games only a matter of time.. need to revert back to 3 CB's

He's played well so far tbf to him.

[Giant]

Looks like another case of rubbish one half, ok the next…..hopefully!

Well yeah that's a massive issue in itself. But also with the 4231 they can just ghost through us anywhere.

We were defensively really good against Millwall till the last 10 mins. Why have we put that in the bin?

[G Somerset Rover]

Said it at the weekend and I’ll say it again, how is Adam Wharton not getting in this midfield? Yet again it’s largely non existent.

Travis having an unusually bad game

I didn't see the last game but I was at Luton and we were just as vulnerable with 3 CB's. It's got much more to do with the kamikaze football than the formation I think. It's like we don't work on anything else sometimes.

[Guest]

Buckley’s not a defensive midfielder

[Darwen Rover 007]

Our 2 x CM's pointless 

[BankEnd Rover]

Something has to change here. We arnt going to survive playing like this. We just don’t have the quality.
