I'm not at the match, but if Pears is having another Plymouth disaster why is he in the team? Why bother spending money on the new guy? And how annoyed must he be to barely make a game after moving?

Pear drop

[superniko]

Pears wasn’t even decent last year. Cost us multiple points end of season which ultimately cost us the playoffs. 
Not good enough for our bench. 

[Darwen Rover 007]

Travis you plonker

 

[Tugay-is-God]

This one feels like it could get very bad

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Going Pear shaped again I see. 

(sorry!) 

 

[DE.]

Our defence is a fucking joke. We're in major trouble.

Take Pears off.

[davulsukur]

We've conceded 3 goals in 25mins, JDT needs to get a grip pretty quickly, we are conceding far too many goals.

We look fine - they're working their socks off to close us down. Unfortunately every shot on target goes in cos the GK is a clown so that hard work is paying off.

They're 2 goals clear, so that fatigue won't be an issue later on. 

I agree but we have more problems than just the goalkeeper..

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

What a mess

[Exiled_Rover]

The two sides of Travis there - lovely through ball for the Sigurdsson goal and then falling over himself when their GK offers a goal on a plate. 

[yankfan]

Trav has to do better gifted a 1v1 with the keeper and can’t even muster a shot 

[moerpho]

Game over. I’ve defended Pears in the past but this performance is unforgivable. Time for Wahlstedt. And we could do with 3 more of Sigurdsson up top.

[BankEnd Rover]

3-1 and not even 30 gone. Embarrassing!

[jim mk2]

George Hirst, who looked like a non-league player in a Rovers shirt. T'was inevitable I suppose.

[1864roverite]

Peard

piss

poor again

[West Yorks Rover]

JDT is the new Kevin Keegan knows nowt about defending.

I've defended JDT, but I can't keep defending him if he keeps selecting Pears.

[B16Rover]

Who'd have foreseen selling a quality keeper, opting not to get an experienced centre back and having no striker would leave us toothless and lost in defence 

[Inferi]

Pickering runs like he's 50 years old.

[Exiled_Rover]

This ref is awful.

Gregg, Swagg and Pisha certainly didn't.

[yankfan]

Pears has been poor, but we’re getting bossed. Way too easy for them to get the best of Hyam and Carter. 

[benhben]

Well be closer to the bottom than play offs this year. Awful.
