v Sunderland (a) - 26/12/22

[Crozzy]

Thoughts:

 

We have been shocking today and in fairness deserve fuck all. 
JRC has had another good game

Dack only one creating atuff so obviously first to be hooked  

Morton has been poor and we are shit in midfield 

Hirst need getting rid of in Jan

JDT certainly on thin ice 

 

[BigBar]

JDT is a fucking myth 🤣🤣🤣 Conman.

[G Somerset Rover]

Awful. Yet again. Holding onto leads was our forte - now that’s over I fear for us given we can never get back into games.

[DE.]

Whole team has been shit and that includes the manager. Six months and barely a single performance you could even count as somewhat entertaining. We're playing worse football than when Mowbray was here. Forget where we are in the league now, we'll finish about 15th and the squad isn't poor enough to justify that. This is all on the manager and a style of football which doesn't suit our team or the division. People can crow about us being in the top six for now, but enjoy it whilst you can because it's blindingly obvious we're in a hugely false position.

[WacoRover]

We had 3 or 4 start who aren’t good enough at this level, and a simply atrocious bench.

Unless we see some miracle or amazing transfers, we will finish 10th or lower.

Hirst is a joke of a player scared to tackle like hes scared to get injured idiot

I'd put money on it that we try to sign him permanently. Bloody awful looking player

[CambridgeRover]

7am in the morning for a coach on boxing day to see that pathetic peformance. Feel sorry for the fans who went. As others have said a game it didnt seem we tried to win

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Embarrassing, useless and abject. The start of the usual death slide after Christmas.

What a poor set of players

Which is why the fact we're 3rd (for now) with half the season gone is a testament to how good a job JDT has done.

A newly promoted Sunderland have about 6 players I'd be very, very interested in. That shouldn't happen. Ross is miiiiiiiles better than anything we have upfront, for example. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Could see it coming a mile off. Travis really is becoming one of the deadwood who needs to go.

Once again we’ve created nothing apart from 1 shot. No wonder other teams are laughing at us. 

[K-Hod]

What a shower of shite that was. Thanks for ruining my Boxing Day JDT and those useless pricks in blue and white. 

[Cherry Blue]

Shocking performance by JDT. Well done the 1,700 rovers fans.

[Bethnal]

That’s a very poor result. Sunderland had a whole stadium behind them, roaring them on and really didn’t bother us much in the second half. At the death, a fresh captain gives away the ball and the striker has about two weeks to figure out what to with the ball. Woeful. We look worse now than before the World Cup. I still don’t think you sack a manager who’s in the playoff spots and I still have faith in “The Project™” but it’s definitely waning at an alarming rate.

Subing on George Hirst Is like throwing the towel in

This is daylight robbery, but that's football for you. Morton should have scored and Travis should have cleared that attack. 

Fine margins. Hopefully we strengthen in January - need a RB (if Brittain is out until Feb), a ST and a CM at a minimum. 

We didn't deserve to win this, at all. 

You could push for a draw at best but we were forced to resort to taking yellows to stopping their attacks.

Dreadful stuff.

JDT is incredibly naive.

Subbing off Dack was a disgrace. 

Outwitted by Mowbray.

No chance. 

[Tricky]

At least our next six look beatable 😬

You honestly think Venkys will pot him now, no chance. 

[West Yorks Rover]

Most of our players have actually lost value under this manager.

Therefore, the Venksters should sack him, as his job is to increase their value.

[neophox]

Markanday would had been better than Hirst...we need creativity and running o. The flanks..

[K-Hod]

No point turning up to away games as the players don’t bother either. Useless pricks.

I didn't say we deserved to win it - that should have been a comfortable draw and was playing out that way until Travis continued his woeful form and gifts them a win.

I’d be amazed if we finish above them.

No one would sack the manager when sitting third..
