With what? Is my sarcasm detector broken??

Is not the discussion, it's the constant "Is JDT looking for the Sack!" "What the F**k is that?" that is the point, it adds nothing and doesn't look to engage in the discussion. Every match thread is the same. But it's fine I shall ignre them and move on

[superniko]

The line up is giving me the Burnley away vibes where we moved players around with Mola coming in and Hedges at full back.

Pretty even so far, although their chances have been better.

[roversinmyblood]

Both Wharton and JRC are way to slow and lazy to play as defensive midfielders. We have no real protection for the defence. 

[Ricky]

They are walking through our midfield time after time.

Doesn't get much better than that Szmodics chance - one on one with the GK.

It's been suggested a few times after the past couple of games.

[Bethnal]

Weird line up, but I don’t hate it (save for a recognised striker and Siggy not starting).

Dolan’s started brightly, as have the front four as a whole.

Hyam storming forward as a stopper is a role he is visibly not comfortable with. Weird one that we keep asking it of him. He’s positionally solid, dashing forward nullifies this trait. Carter’s clumsy, so I get why you wouldn’t want him doing it, but maybe just don’t have a player doing that?

Intrigued to see what happens, we need to walk away with something here and a clean sheet is top of the wishlist.

[Blow-in]

JDT is a smart guy, he knows we don't have the money to sack anyone. We could have Jimmy Saville coaching the youths and we would have to turn the other cheek.

As my "WTF is that" post was quoted, that's not strictly true is it?

[Exiled_Rover]

We look much more secure defensively without Pickering and Pears.

Chance for Sammy after Dolan won it back high up, slewed it wide. 

Jordan Slew-ed?

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Lack of striker a real issue here, just can't see us scoring

Not playing against the best quality of centre forward either though are we?

[martonrover]

Against more modest opposition here, so we have half a chèvre.

Trouble is, we still look bereft of goal threat. Even Sammie seems to have caught the disease.

[Miker]

Probably been our worst performance of the last few weeks so far, so we will probably win this one.

[yankfan]

Great ball by Szmodics…no one wants to get in the box and score 

[Tugay-is-God]

Szmodics lays it on a plate for our invisible centre forward. 

[roversinmyblood]

We are still making way too many bad decisions when we are in possession.

Yep, badly missed a centre forwaard there all right.

[Exiled_Rover]

Ball rolled across the 6 yard box by Szmodics with no one there to tap it in after we counter from their corner.

Same old problems.

[Guest]

Rovers' transfer window in stark relief there. A striker would have buried that.

[superniko]

Quality has been really low with Dolan and Markanday out wide (unsurprisingly). 

Wharton having a good game in my opinion, Moran also bright and seems very good at nicking the ball of the opponent. 
Brittain again very good
