v Rotherham (a) - 12/08/2023

[Fraserkirky]

We should have signed Hugill ages ago

[chaddyrovers]

looks like JRC has moved into Midfield now with Brittain at right back

[roverblue]

Everytime I watch on ifollow we get dicked. Thought new season, new start but nope.

 

We played so well at ewood last week and this is back to the shit from last season. Possibly the worst individual performance I have ever seen from Smodicz.

i know there is a lot of love for JDT on here but when his starting team isn’t working he is pathetic at rectifying it.

[BigBar]

Wouldn't have taken Leonard off. Leaves Sammie on. Bizarre.

Been extremely poor so far. They've just watched us pass ourselves to death. As much as we have high hopes for Leanord we need to give him a chance by giving him something but he's not been in it today. Markanday non existent. Moved it way too slow. Needed to take off Markanday, push JRC up and put Brittain on. A lot our problems still present, number 1 being the lack of mental toughness. This lot will fold week after week if they keep conceding goals first. 

 

 

Yep, we fold like a deck of cards whenever we fall behind. It’s been this way for a good year or two before JDT got here too. A huge issue.

I guess he feels we don't have another #10 in the squad.

[BigBar]

Good effort from AW

[Tugay-is-God]

Not all that far away by Wharton again. Bet we're gonna see a couple screamers from him this year. 

[West Yorks Rover]

Have we had a shot on target yet ?

A huge issue, that got considerably worse over the last year. Think we equalised twice in the entirety of last season. 

[TheKitGuy]

Why are we so scared of getting the ball in the box 

[ItsRoverZ]

Worst team in the league down to 10 men and aren't even troubling them at all, we have 0 urgency

[Bethnal]

Can’t help but think Ben Benson looks like a really aggy bar manager/McDonalds manager when he’s stood doing the subs. Worked for so many of them and they were proper wet, brownnoser grasses.

[chaddyrovers]

our tempo has been too slow again. We faced this last season a number of times

[Exiled_Rover]

The difference between Travis and JRC in CM is night and day.

That's down to the manager.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Playing against 10 but you wouldn't notice.

[BigBar]

We obviously need a striker but we need better creativity too, no point getting one and providing poor service. 

[booth]

Dolan's terrible, shot in the box, skied it.

[Miker]

Szmods and Dolan should've been taken off. Madness to keep them on. Where's Sam?

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

This better be Dolan's last game for a while. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Seems like with ten men, Wharton's lost his man marker. Suddenly he's in the game.

Wharton and JRC have torn them to shreds the last 10 minutes - there's just nothing coming from Dolan and we know Hedges isn't a goalscorer.

He could have had two, and both sitters.

[G Somerset Rover]

Gilsenen simply cannot be worse than Dolan.
