v Sunderland (h) - 20/9/23 - 19:45

[Tugay-is-God]

Another season of mid table mediocrity beckons. Without even the false promise of a playoff push to keep us going. 

[superniko]

Look at what the bloke has on the bench.

Markanday - can’t get a game at Aberdeen

Dolan - probably wouldn’t get a game at Aberdeen either

Garrett - should probably be on loan at Aberdeen

Telalovic - German 4th division part time league. 

Absolute non-game changers. 

Venkys fucking us over again and again. Pull all our budget, don’t say a word to fans, no explanation, not been seen for 10 years. 

All whilst we have a comical commercial operation running alongside.

Amazed JDT is hanging around.  

[ItsRoverZ]

Reckon we could be in trouble for a relegation scrap btw?

Oh and a good 7 mins for Telalovic ..Great stuff 

[Oldgregg86]

I think the JDT pelters are unfair. He’s made the wrong subs tonight but doesn’t make him naive or anything other than a miracle worker with the squad he has

[cesus]

We've missed some chances but don't be fooled by that, Sunderland have had us chasing shadows out of possession they have wiped the floor with us.

Well on our way to being comprehensively beaten by a Mowbray's Sunderland.

Don't know what the commentators are on about, not sure what real complaints we can have. You reverse the roles and we're talking about what a perfect away performance it's been. 

Expand  

Not sure it is/was a perfect away peformance when you ride your luck for most of the 1st half.

Second half Sunderland have been much better but had a lead to defend.

[roversinmyblood]

I don’t want see Dolan play another game for Rovers, he offers absolutely nothing and keeps giving the ball away all the time.

With no decent attackers and a defence that is conceding goals for fun we're going nowhere. Our summer signings either aren't good enough to get on the pitch or playing in the u23's. What a joke.

Never have I been more confident of a match going 3-1 rather than 2-2.

A shocking transfer window thanks to Venky’s is already coming home to roost. 

No chance I’m watching or reading any post match interviews - that smug b*stard is going to make me want to launch my TV/phone.

Telalovic first instinct is to have a shot. It's not a lot but let's hope he's got a real strikers brain.

[jim mk2]

Midway through September and the season is already unraveling. It’s obvious the summer transfer window was wasted, the squad is worse than last season and we’ve no hope of getting anywhere near the playoffs.

As a Rovers fan you might as well turn off the game when we concede first. It's fucking embarrassing how weak these players are.

[Inferi]

Replacing Wharton with Garrett seemed to kill all our attacking play. And Wharton didn't even have a good game.

[JohnD]

Embarrassing 

[CambridgeRover]

Dolan jesus he is shit

I was hoping the Rotherham game may have been a turning point on that front, but who I was I kidding.

[BigBar]

Dolan is piss, done with him, thought we had struck gold with him initially. He's had a fair crack of the whip. We have such shite attacking options.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Unless Telalovic and Siggy turn out to be unreal I can't see how we get play offs with this squad. Another year in tbe wrong division, Venkys Rovers. 

[Tugay-is-God]

You really can't sniff at what TM's done/is doing with this Sunderland. 

I know his attitude was dog awful with us at times, and that certainly made its way onto the pitch. But you wonder if it also just came from a deeper toxicity at the club.

Hedges told to piss off by Amberdeen.

They’ve looked pretty ordinary to me. Penalty and a swipe from the edge of the area through loads of bodies. 
Open game and they’re controlling it well now, but I think that’s mainly down to just how useless our 11 on the pitch are, I can count at least 5 that are league 1 at best.

He contributes to the defeats on many occasions.

A mile off it. Nowhere near playoffs right now.

Top 6. Enough said.

[yankfan]

Announcers on about how the score line is unfair. We’ve been throughly beaten since the 35th min. 

[Bbrovers2288]

Terrible night all started by moronic hedges. I know some on here rate him but he really does 10 shite for every 1 good thing he does
