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

It's arguable that Pears is the reason we've been poor.

What a great motivator for the oppo team.

He was shit

The Ipswich manager is top class. He gets a tune out of five string guitars. Like Keith Richards on Gimme Shelter 

[OsloRover]

Wharton isn’t exactly brilliant at making himself available

This open style of football is suicidal for us there are too many weak points front and back to make it prosper.

This bright young coach is going to make himself look a fool unless he finds a balance too it all instead of being happy to get back slaps for enterprising football.

As for Pears he'll be eased out now starting with the Harrogate game for sure but he really isn't the biggest issue, the style is.

Playing Pears is the suicidal part - he's costing you at least a goal a week at this point.

Rivers TV not working for me looks like a good thing was hopeful at 1-1 next peek we are 3-1 down Hirst scores wtf is going on.  I see JDT walking soon if he can't turn this quickly.

Wow, that's one helluva preview!

Interesting Board, too; but seem to have a lot of adverts. Visitors - even those who register - get hit by adverts - makes you (me!) appreciate Premium membership of Brfcs! 

Interesting, also, they feel the need to remind members about the need not to be offensive in their comments; must be quite a sparky place. 

Eh, from my experience it's no worse than here, although maybe they had to clamp down at some point in the past.

Spot on. Playing the way we are is on the manager. You don't play this way with players that cannot do it.

JDT has to take a lot of blame here, Pears is poor yet he keeps playing him even when we had a perfect opportunity to change in the international break 

 

[ItsRoverZ]

Conceded 2 against Rotherham 

3 against Plymouth 

2 against Hull 

3 against Wallsall (cup and changed 11)

Conceded 3 already to Ipswich 

JDT not the manager we maybe thought he was, can't set us up to be solid at the back to save his life it seems

the blame lies squarely with the manager.

Blaming Pears for a weak defense/midfield isn't right (however poor he might be).

 

Like I said most of us knew he should have peen dropped.

[CambridgeRover]

Pears is one of the biggest issues we have, I can count 5 goals now were I would put the blame on him.

5 whole goals

You have gotta laugh! The crap our fans gave Hirst last season. I’ve always thought he was a good player. 

Not sure about that.

He was lightweight, had no control and couldn’t even score from the penalty spot.

He’s already done more today than he did for the whole time with us.

[bigbrandjohn]

I am not sure if I feel better losing 3-1 having paid ten quid and not watching it rather than watching it. At least I will get my ten quid back hopefully. 

[Bethnal]

They are so bad at trying to play out, we have to punish them for it. Front four have to be all over them to make something happen before half time.

[West Yorks Rover]

6 goals against in a game and a half.

[yankfan]

Has Wharton gotten a kick?  If he’s not getting involved we’d be better having a more steady defensive player in.

Not based on what he showed in a Rovers shirt you didn't. 

Guess you didn’t go to West Ham away in the carabao cup. He scored a perfect penalty and came on and made an impact. Never got a chance with our fans. Wish him well 

[CambridgeRover]

JDT is he all that? moronic tactics, not subbing Pears, starting to have my doubts

[duckson]

Nice from Leonard but nobody there for a 2 yard tap in, reacting too late.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Fuck off Venky's, Fuck off Waggott........not so sure about JDT. 

[Penwortham Blue]

We need a second half response, absolute minimum. A Millwall repeat would be perfect but seeing that we only come from behind once every Preston Guild, I’m not getting my hopes up 😡

Imagine cutting the budget mid summer when it's already at the lower end of the table, and expecting anything more than mid table mediocrity.  

Fuck Venkys 

Imagine after having the budget cut, spending all your money on a goalkeeper who is not even going to feature in your first team.
