v Norwich City (a) - 17/12/22

[Nuttall is lost]

Eh why is Ayala coming off??

[Tom]

Wouldn’t be taking Dack off it’s the perfect game for him with the walking pace 

[Sparks Rover]

Surprised how shit Norwich are to be fair.

[superniko]

The bloke who never makes a change when we’re getting battered is suddenly mixing it up here?

Assume it has to be injuries

Can anyone explain why Dack is going off?

Can only think Dolan is tiring and he wants someone that will press. Their defence looks almost as crap as ours with the nonsense playing from the back. 

[booth]

Subs come on, we're now instantly under pressure.

[chaddyrovers]

Scott Wharton poor play again

[TheRoversReturn]

Poor substitution from JDT once again...Dack has been playing excellently this half. He was having his best period of the game. Seems like he'd decided to take off Dack on the 60 mark whatever happened. 

We're suddenly under the cosh too now after the subs...

[simongarnerisgod]

can understand taking the fragile ayala off but i would leave dack on,he`s a better player than szmodics by about 5 divisions

Dack's been decent tonight, but I think taking him off now is a good decision.

Still easing him back to full fitness and fresh legs in Sam S.

Yeah at this rate he should be good and fit by the time his contract expires.

[booth]

I can see why Scott Wharton wasn't picked now. He's done two things and both of them wrong.

[yankfan]

Wharton on to attempt a rugby tackle.

Didn’t want Dack to go off but thought he was a little tired looking after last attack. Gotta be a nailed on starter now. He presses more than most of the team in fairness 

[J*B]

Ayala signalled to the bench asking to be subbed according to fans at the game on Twitter. 

[ItsRoverZ]

Didn't need these subs?!

on yellow card. Might be feeling the injury he had during the Marbella trip. 

Hedges coming on Gallagher now

[WacoRover]

Pukki scares me; he’s feeling it here, we were sharp defensively that time, we need to stay vigilant, be wary of him. 
Gally down… 

[Bethnal]

Frankly bizarre subs. Arguably our two best performers. Wharton not up to speed and nearly caught out twice.

[superniko]

Gallagher and Ayala are proper sick notes. 

[booth]

Gallagher going off with a knock.

And the house comes tumbling down.

[WacoRover]

Good grief, we’re looking shaky here…

[J*B]

JRC seems to have picked up a touch. I’ve given him plenty of shit, so it’s only fair I say he’s played well this second half. 

[yankfan]

Morton doing his best to give the ball away in dangerous positions 

[Bethnal]

JRC looking a lot more confident than I’ve seen him and not playing bad at all. Good to see.

Are they sponsored by Lotus as in the car brand? If so, is that a sponsor they got while in the Premier League? Are they local? Assuming it is, it blows my mind how they’re sponsored by a luxury car brand and we’re sponsored by E-cigs.
