v Preston (a) - 22/4/23 - 17:30 k/o

[K-Hod]

Don’t worry lads, Burnley can win the title at our place on Tuesday. Can’t see us not surrendering yet again. Pathetic. Fuck off the lot of them.

[DanielMB]

I cant help but smile at the people blaming JDT. Hedges couldnt keep his cool, Wharton slipped and Hyam deflected it.  1 poor choice and 2 unlucky situations. 

[pick32]

6 points dropped in the last 3 games

And why exactly would he leave a Coventry team who are likely play-off bound for a team with no mental fortitude and no money to change that?

[BigUts]

Hedges changed the game for the good, and then cost us the 3 points.

Literally have no idea what he was doing there 

 

[AllRoverAsia]

Hedges had a great half apart from he's shit at shots.

A lot of credit to many of the players.

JDT is tactically challenged and screwed us and not for the first time.

Preston looked like world beaters for the final minutes and that was due to Laurel and Hardy on our bench. Pricks. 

JDT needs to call Gareth for advice on how to beat the Dingles as he will not have a friggin clue himself.

All on JDT

Expand  

JDT scores that 1-on-1. He probably also doesn't fall on his arse and allow a free cross into the box.

All on him though, right?

I don't know how people can watch these same shit players make the same basic errors and blame the manager. He HAS to use them because there's nobody else (and sadly the starting XI aren't cyborgs and occasionally get injured / need a rest). 

[Nuttall is lost]

That was the John Barnes 1989 v Arsenal moment. One on one and hits a pathetic chip. Go to the corner or at least lash in a powerful shot.  Then they go up the other end and score. Ffs

Fully expect this to happen.

Not sure my ticker could cope with the final game at Millwall though…

It’s just heat of the moment. I don’t think we deserved to win, but we have to kill the game. Hedges should hang his head in shame, should have taken it to the corner flag!

[DE.]

In my view Hyam has been a fantastic signing for us regardless of what has happened recently. He shoulders no blame for what's happening. It's all down to our shocking ability going forward and inability of our recruitment team to do the basics in the January transfer window.

[ben_the_beast]

We didn't deserve that. Preston didn't deserve that. There's always a slice of luck in football and luck has deserted us recently.

But if you want the clearest example of you make your own luck, that football can ever offer, step forward Ryan Hedges.

Seems this mental strenght things come back to hunt us every season....the only positive is that we still have it in our hands....

We’ve been saying that throughout this poor run. We are now (finally) out of the top 6, and I would be pleasantly surprised if we get back in between now and the end of the season.

7 points from a possible 24.

Expand  

Probably because it's the manager's job to coach them on how to reduce the errors as they mature, or to manage the game in a way that limits the opportunity to make the errors in the first place. JDT is consistently doing the opposite.

And if we went up, we'd get absolutely tramelled every week.

Not that we're going up, and we won't be doing so at least until the chicken ticklers are gone.

We are not good enough and further more , we have showed no ambition to go up in 11 years or whatever it is ...

Soon as we added numbers to the back I fucking knew. Fan of JDT but fuck me please learn from previous! Another 2 big points dropped tonight. Going to put myself through the torture on Tuesday, who knows..

Reluctant to criticise Hedges as he changed the game massively but yeah you need to fucking smash that, force a save or a least a goal kick. Killer. 

Wharton all over the shop. JDT has a habit of bringin on defenders who struggle to adjust to the intensity of the game to try see it out when it's clearly backfired multiple times. He's a fucking clown. Won't make a change when we do need it and won't stop making them when we don't need them.

Expand  

Why didn't Hedges take it to the corner flag if he wasn't keen to take the keeper on. Waste some time, try and win a corner.

And I'm not sure what Wharton was doing. He looked like a good player last season but he's completely gone to pot.

JDT frustrated me today with the line up but I blame the players, their attitude changed as soon as we scored not after the subs.  You'd think with losing 2 points to Coventry mid week we would have made sure we did everything to keep it in their half. Brereton dribbling with the ball earlier then losing it when we had players committed. Absolute lunacy at that stage in the game.

At the end of the day we needed better players and the club clearly didn't want play offs this season, because it's ran backwards.

Still all to play for.

Really?

We were abysmal first half.

A game lasts 90 minutes plus stoppage!

Always optimistic where Rovers concerned but seriously, our season is over.

Yes thats a poor run... having Buckley and Dack fit would had helped us.

[jwlrovers]

Hedges played well, but that attempt at the end was criminal. Smash it and best case it goes in and at worst it goes in the stands, it's a goal kick or corner.
