FAC Q/F v Sheffield United (a) - 19/3/23, 12pm K/O

[Hasta]

JDT tactical masterclass there. Looking generally ok until we switched to 5 at the back and then we didn’t get into their half.

[Ewood Ace]

Imagine being a young footballer on the cusp of playing in a Wembley FA Cup semi final and you'd rather roll around on the floor feigning injury. It say's a lot about the mentality of young footballers today.

I'd take the fine if I was JDT and call the ref out for the bent tosser he is.

The ref has been abysmal but make no mistake the subs and change of shape cost us 100%.  Piss poor decision.

City will slaughter these thick half wit, bellend backwards country bumpkins

JDT needs to take the blame for this capitulation.

Then he needs to take the credit for getting us to the QF and (potentially) the Playoffs.

He's doing an unbelievable job.

It was reminding me of the QF thirty years ago, even before the third went in. 
It’s a cruel game.

[G Somerset Rover]

Absolutely sickening. 
Shocker from JDT with the defensive subs. Yet ANOTHER goal owing to Morton pissing about.

I feel proud on the whole, but I struggle to see us even making the play-offs when we clearly don’t learn from our previous mistakes.

[DE.]

We got away with not taking our chances against Leicester. We didn't today. JDT meanwhile blew it spectacularly with his subs. Hard to remember a recent game where a manager has so brutally sabotaged his own team. 

Should be remembered that Sheff Utd should have played most of this match with 10 though. The ref was their 12th man today. Not that they'll care, as we wouldn't. 

Another sickening day to be a Rovers supporter under Venkys. 

 

[TheRovers1994]

Send Morton straight back to Liverpool the utter fanny! What a waste of space he is 

[rovers11]

Gutting. I'm a big fan of JDT but his subs cost us today. Completely blew it.

[joey_big_nose]

Not that worried we are out of the cup. Thought we played really really well. Decent box striker and we would have won.

Only real point of concern is the subs, obviously let us down. Looked all over the place.

But generally we are on a hugely upward trajectory.

Couldn't give a fuck about the rest of the season.  Couldn't care less if we go up or not. Couldn't care less if jdt is here next season.  Want Gallagher shipped off to siberia alongside Morton.  Fuck these coward rubber dinghy men. 

I get your beef with Gallagher and Morton, but come on. Let's remember how we got in this position in the first place.

They should have been down to 10.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Just not our day. That Hedges shot goes in and it’s game over.

Heartbreaking. Thought we deserved to win

It's almost like we're in the Playoff positions because he ground out a number of wins early in the season by switching to a back 5 late in the game...

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Well played Rovers..no disgrace there.We'll play at the new Wembley one day.

The subs simply sunk us(and a cracking shot),we invited them to attack.

Tbf they just stuck at it and scored a blinder! We're the ones that just handed it to them on a plate after the substitutions 

[CambridgeRover]

So sheff utd cant fucking pay the transfers for the players they have. Fucking injustice, fucking football

[cesus]

Hedges and JRC are so comfortable on the ball and so willing to take it. Taking them off gave us no out ball for the rest of the game, we literally had no spell of holding onto the ball. To be honest those subs would have made for a very long extra time had it stayed 2-2. Great effort up to the 80th min, terrible shape afterwards!!!

[des]

Good game but we need a goal goalscorer and a better midfield on we go but why changethe defence beyond me play a back four five in midfield for the last 10 min but playing a back five just changed the way the team plays just get pushed back more oh well

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

No recriminations today. They played at their maximum. A paper thin squad just ran out of steam. Can't ask for any more.

The tactical change was a bit ToMo, but on another day it might have looked like a masterstroke.

An empty feeling but they were excellent.

 

[Sweaty Gussets]

Shocking ref who gave us nothing. He didn't give us the penalty, he was told by VAR to look at it. It was stonewall so he had no choice. 

JDT fucked us in the end though. Subs can go either way, but today he made a huge mistake.

He is overall, but make no mistake he’s fucked that up
