Why when I watch us live we look like a conference side playing a big team? 

What is our style of play? Why can't we pass half the time? We do we have such a lightweight and shit midfield 

Hope your horses there chief, the project is still about two years from being ready. Until then we aren't allowed to judge anything.

Lenient to both though....they should have had a yellow... hut Morton was lucky not to get red for that

The Sunderland lad should have been booked but Morton could easily have been sent off 

[CambridgeRover]

Every team knows how to beat us now. High press against our pass out of the back and then pass through our midfield on the attack

[Bethnal]

Nowt like a Rovers match to really bugger the Christmas spirit, eh?

Our midfield is non existent

Has been so evident for so long.

How JDT and Broughton can't see this is beyond me.

The one midfielder with a real talent, Wharton, is inexplicably frozen out.

[BigBar]

Need more from the midfield...alot more. The front two also need to become less isolated even if it means dropping in to collect the ball. 

[Silas]

Roberts tearing us a new one on the left, and JRC being brushed aside like a schoolkid on the right. Painful. 

[davulsukur]

Sky put a stat on at the start, something along the lines of:

Passes in our own half this season: 3rd 

Passes in the opposition half: 20th 

 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Not replacing Bradley Johnson with a physical player was a big mistake.   

[BigBar]

These lot of weak defensively...we need to make them defend more...they are shaky and edgy.

[ItsRoverZ]

We look so poor and non threatening..

Morton will be lucky to make Liverpool squad in his life, such a lightweight ponderous lil player

No awaited judgement necessary when you've chased your number one striking target all summer, landed him and he performs like Hirst............!

Imagine he’ll end up here or in this league permanently, decent little player but a million miles off the standard of Elliott 

[yellowsubmarine]

Our football are pretty shite at times.

You just don't see the master plan. In seven or eight transfer windows all will become clear. 

[roverandout]

This is pathetic

Mid championship might be his level agreed, he won't ever make the Liverpool squad that's certain 

[BigBar]

Need a bit more from Dacky

[BigBar]

Hedges puts a shift in...big unit and very clever in his work.

Our midfield has been awful for years (like 10+) but here we are, being bosses by a midfield with Corry Evans as captain.

[ItsRoverZ]

MI5 could use footage of rovers trying to play football as a torture device, they would have anyone spilling the beans in no time

We can’t win a single challenge in midfield, that’s the problem here. Dack hasn’t - even before the ACLs - been capable of magic out of nowhere. If he isn’t getting service (because we can’t keep the ball) then it’s almost useless playing him. 

[Displaced Rover]

The commentary on everyone of our games is embarrassing from Sky. It is so biased, every single time.

[roverandout]

We need a no nonsense midfielder and another forward in January
