v Leicester City (h) - 01/10/23

Wonder how long Siggy will last. To be honest, I don't have a huge amount of confidence that Telalovic will offer much of anything if he comes on. 

But I hope I'm wrong!

Pears awful again 

[G Somerset Rover]

Our corner routines nearly irritate me as much as seeing Pears on the team sheet every week. Embarrassingly bad.

Fucking shambles at the back pathetic tactically! Leicester know exactly how to play this half, let us have the ball and come forward then pounce on the break , far to open!

[waynerovers]

Is this team allergic to just crossing in a corner? What's point in taking it short if you don't have a plan.

[Bethnal]

Pickering does well there to cover for Hyam and Pears’ inadequacies. And Adam Wharton dawdling. Can see that the effort of the opening hour causing mistakes.

Markanday is done for today, decision making has been poor and it’s causing moves to break down.

Wharton caught in possession, Pears not committed and took an age to get back.

And then Szmod skies an excellent opportunity.

Sums up the season so far.

[Tugay-is-God]

Pears injured?

[Eddie]

I think we've got two players of real class in Moran and Sigurdsson.

I really look forward to watching them as they grow into the team (and fitness improves).

 

[roverandout]

Pears down.  Blessing in disguise?

[Irish_Rover]

We constantly seem to what to look for the eye of a needle pass, ignoring a more simple pass and instead just forcing it into an area with loads of bodies. Playing intricate stuff is all well and good but we need to spread out the play a bit to open space.

We're also ridiculously open, no wonder the defenders are having a hard time when at times in the first half both Wharton and Travis seemed to be pushing around Leicester's 18 yard box to close down a kickout. Its mental, we dont have the players either up front or defence for this sort of game plan.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

[ItsRoverZ]

God we are so frustrating to watch at times ..some of the basics we get so wrong

[G Somerset Rover]

Pears will surely have to come off here. Would never wish an injury on anyone but he needs a spell out of the side. Huge chance for Leo if so.

Sky commenting on the 'very public discussion' of Pear's form on his confidence 🙂 Perhaps this will be Leo's chance?

[Eddie]

Never want to see a player suffer an injury, but this Pears knock could be just what we need to resolve the keeping debate.

More of his pre planned subs bollox no matter the score or situation.

[Displaced Rover]

Dolan on for Siggy really illustrates our lack of depth/quality. It’s like giving up

I honestly think Sunderland and Ipswich look miles better but Leicester probably have the experience and gile over them
