We've been by far the better team, we just don't have anyone who can put a golden chance in the back of the net. 

Dack should AT LEAST have hit the target with his header. Hedges and Gallagher should both have scored. End of. 

Agree with all of that and we will have chances to turn it around in this half too

It is boring just listening on the radio. The only thing I have taken in, is that Gallaghers commentary for radio Lancs is as bad as Gallaghers performance on the pitch. 

I'm listening to Radio 5 and they interrupted chatting about the Manchester Derby to go over to Rotherham "where there's a surprise."

"Not to Rovers' fans.", I thought before hearing the grimly predictable score.

Don’t forget we’ve never even equalised when we have gone behind, let alone got anything.

I know 😂 the not coming back from behind and not drawing stat has to change at some point is all I’m saying 

[OsloRover]

I think the only sensible thing to do is get Dolan on for Vale, Markanday for Hedges and Travis for Garrett. Put Dolan left and Gally up front.

We create nothing? This is literally 3-1 with a good striker or two. 

I can't emphasise enough how bad those Gallagher and Hedges misses are - the Dack one should have been slotted away too if we're honest. 

Much like the Boro and Cardiff games, we're dying for a proper #9 to put the bloody ball in the back of the net. 

I'm glad someone else can see it the way I do. Our forward players are really letting us down.

And it's not like it didn't happen under Mowbray. It was that fucker that assembled a team without a decent number 9.

No changes…MENTAL!

i think jdt mindset is still in sweden where the game is played  far slower

I imagine you aren't watching the game. Gallagher has been by far the worst player on the pitch, he's clearly not up for it and struggling with his lack of ability.

[BigBar]

Replaying the goal on the analysis and that pass from Pickering really was criminal. Game just started and it put us immediately on the backdoor. So avoidable. Get it down the line and get your bearings so early in the game.

Not really surprised. I don't JDT will be too disappointed, we could be 2 or 3 - 1 up. 10 more mins, see how we do then look at Dolan and Markanday. Hope someone has given Gallagher a bollocking. Wake him up a bit

We are keeping the ball, using movement and we just need to increase the tempo. I would like to see Dolan on soon. His pace, movement could be key here

so we having 3 good chances then? 

One thing I’ve noticed in the Championship over the last few winters is that once the pitches start to deteriorate our form drops considerably. We obviously have the better footballers today but conditions don’t always allow for over technical football and we have struggled to just grind out results and put physical performances in that are sometimes needed at time of the year. Like we have a lightweight midfield n our wing backs are a bit soft too. We are lacking a bit of muscle when it gets a bit tough.

He's a bore and tactically inept.

We both know he needs replacing, but it's a long term project to get this squad anything like.

Vale has shown a bit.

Really?  I haven’t been so confident a Rovers striker wouldn’t score since Grabbi.  I’d rather have Egil Østenstadt back than watch this lad.

Why would I write that if I wasn’t watching?

Gally poor but we can’t have zero height up front

[Exiled_Rover]

The other thing screaming out in this performance, as it does every week, is that we have absolutely no pace.

I get your point but I actually think the pitch and conditions are really good.

Why not? What good has it done us so far?

[jim mk2]

We haven't got the ball in their half yet

I love how whenever Dack misplaces a pass it's because his teammates aren't on his wavelength 😅. Don't get me wrong I think he's played pretty well, but the extent to which he's overhyped on here compared to Hedges, Morton etc is hilarious.

It would be hard for Morton to misplace a pass as it never go more than 5 yards.

We have zero height up front with him.

…..Jam tomorrow. We kept hearing it under Mowbray for years and the new regime are reading from the same text book.

Starting the second half like we don't know how to play football, Jesus wept

[BigBar]

Big fan of Hedges..and other variety of shrubbery.
