Coventry away next where I’ll wager we’ll lose once again.

6 pointer against QPR next weekend then!

both teams to score first half is where it's at if you want to profit from our sides incompetence

Another odd thing from JDT (besides refusing to play Telalovic and starting Pears) is his insistence on running A. Wharton into the ground - he's playing 90mins regardless of how knackered he looks when last year he couldn't get a game. 

He’s not able to do the full 90. Don’t think he has the fitness (yet) to do that and his mistakes creep in as the game goes on. Some excellent moments but the mistakes and the fitness need to improve.

Fingers crossed for a 5-minute Semir hat trick? “Give the lad a chance” I believe the shout is?

Honestly don't think JDT cares anymore mate, he's shown he can set us up defensively

What?

Would say it's more the players at his disposal that are the problem.

I disagree. Preston and Ipswich don't have great players either. The tactics are shocking. Who else is conceding 3+ goals every week?

[RTM08]

Shades of Coyle's Rovers at the moment. JDT has a lot of benefit from the doubt from the fan base but how many more batterings before that changes?

[Tom]

It really was shocking from Wharton leading up to the goal as well, him and Carter should have been hooked long before then

Three goals conceded. Again. Poor.

This would be 1-1 only for Pears and Carter.

Wharton at fault for their 3rd for me losing the ball the way he did,  stupid foul from Carter but should never of been a corner.

Don't want to see Wharton start for us for a while now, lads well off it

Aye, England U21 defender on bench 🤦‍♂️

[matt83]

Carter had a big hand in all 3. If the no nowts watching the tele or at the ground can see starting pears was mental. Carter and Wharton were so far off the pace they were becoming liabilities why couldn’t jdt who’s forgotten more than we’ll know

We look good on ball but no cutting edge when we do not have the ball our midfield is far to open we need a very good forward and holding midfield  player. If we get a big offer for Wharton  then take the money and get the right players in

[Sparks Rover]

Poor goalkeeping there not brave enough 

[sharpysharps86]

Ouch

[ItsRoverZ]

4... Leo what was he doing? Seemed to stutter 

[rovers11]

11 goals in 3 games. Pretty football though so all good...

[Tom]

Oh Leo 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Now that WAS the keeper's fault

[Tugay-is-God]

Nothing much special from the new goalie either there. 

[Blow-in]

Hope Pears is ok.

[BankEnd Rover]

Leo at fault for that goal then.

I hate Sundays! 

[bigbrandjohn]

As far as goalies go be careful what you wish for. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Leo that’s pretty poor son.

This is now embarrassing. We are so, so poor defensively. We cannot stop shipping goals for fun; I don’t know about anyone else but I’m very concerned.

The JDT apologists are fading by the minute. About time he was scrutinised, anyone with eyes can see his contribution to this shambles regardless of the players at his disposable. It's not an attack on him, it's the truth. Not good enough end of story.

[RTM08]

Awesome... so we get rid of one of the best keepers in the league so we're now left with 2 duds. Fan-flipping-tastic
