Tactics shambles, players out of position shambles, performance shambles.

Really poor do this from rovers after a good 3 wins on the bounce, what's annoying is we all know these performances are always lurking around the corner

A point would be miraculous. Why are they type of performances so familiar?

We're a mid-table team with a lot of average players who sometimes play well and sometimes don't. Probably not much more to it than that. With numerous injuries and continued budget cuts affecting our ability to bring in any proven, decent players this is really the best we can hope for. JDT is doing his best pushing that boulder uphill, and at times we look good, but there's always a weakness somewhere because of how vulnerable our recruitment has left us in almost every area of the pitch.

Second to every ball, passes to nowhere...

Always amazes me that professional footballers at this level can't even get the ball to feet or keep it on the field.

This. Venkys Rovers 2023, fucking wretches 

[OsloRover]

Bit early for that Scott

[K-Hod]

Really poor performance.
So toothless in attack. Abysmal referee, to boot.

The TV feed, strolled on nonchalantly.  Looked at odds to bring 1 nil down 

 

Realise that's his nature and he'll probably play them off the park

Have you ever seen him before? 
He looks like that if we’re winning 4-0 or losing 4-0. Keith Andrew’s might have had a good game face, but he was shite at football  

All that matters is that he is our best CM and should be starting there, especially a game like this against a team who like to control the ball (and successfully did that 1st half against us)

Yes, hence why I said 'realise that's his nature' 

 

Wasn't a psychoanalysis of the lad just looked comical

65 min to get a shot on target

Valid point but the levels can't drop this low. They look like they never kicked a ball before. Can handle a loss and a poor performance but this has been dreadful no matter how you look at it. Scarily bad.

[BigBar]

Well played Harry Leonard

[Cherry Blue]

Ref won't do anything about their time wasting

It's the third on target but I get you

[moerpho]

Sammie should do better. Great run that.

Lot of frustration, concentration is lapsing. Shape has been a bit too fluid for the position we’re in. Subs have been willing but difficult to come into that when the others have all been booked and are panicking. Think it’s a mentality thing, but you’re right, it’s concerning. Suspect it can be chalked off as a danger of having such a young squad.

I was hoping for them to do a lot better than this.

We've seen it under numerous managers over the past decade plus - the common denominator, Venky's. Their low standards seep through the entire club like a poison. JDT's ambition has already been undermined this season by Waggott proclaiming we're a development squad who will be happy to simply stay in the division, alongside the owners tearing apart our recruitment plans by slashing the transfer budget. Lack of true ambition from the top unfortunately leads to performances like this. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Fucking crap Leonard. Shit 

[yankfan]

Leonard is going to be one hell of a player. Should have done better there but he’s going to score a lot of goals at this level. 

[BigBar]

You have to hit the target there Harry. Super ball from AW as usual.

[moerpho]

Leonard goes close. Great pass for A. Wharton.
