v Huddersfield Town (a) - 26/12/23

[neophox]

We look out of sorts and out of form. This is a really bad Hudds side that we are struggling against. You just cant blame fatigue....all teams in this league play a lot of games. Look at Ipswich....they almost have the same team in every game....

Surely we have to stick Telalovic on now, let’s see what he can do!! 

The display so far has been embarrassing enough!

He should have gone for the O'Brien fiasco.

and for raising prices during a pandemic......and for unsuccessfully trying to sell off part of the training facilities.....and for failing to tie down key players.

[neophox]

Ive also praised Leo but this shot he should had stopped.

"Ennis......quite easily nudged off the ball this half."

Neutral's view of things. 

I watching the stream with Radio Leeds commentary too. They are decent, not too biased.

Morgan has some raw talent but he highlights the problem of relying too heavily on loan players. When the going gets tough they generally go into hiding.

Not my problem guv.

[B16Rover]

Another point whilst I'm on a mini rant and this point is much more general but we are so imbalanced on the wing.  If we have Sigurdson constantly cutting in Pickering isn't an overlapping fullback.  There's never a chance of doubling up and putting a ball in.  If sigurdson could play on the right I think we'd be a much bigger threat.

I agree we shouldn't be struggling quite as much, and you're right in that it's not just fatigue.

But there's only one team that has fuckwits like Venkys pulling the strings and that's ultimately the problem here. It's more like we're relying too much on youth, poor recruitment due to the taps being turned off, and a lack of experience. Let's not forget the complete lack of ambition broadcast by the CEO to motivate everyone involved.

That’s as poor a half as I’ve seen this season. Very insipid totally lacking in energy.

When you boil it down we take so many touches of the ball to craft a chance, for the opposition just a long punt down field can open us up.

I admire JDTs philosophy but equally you have to live in the real world.

In terms of second half get Garrett and Travis on, go back go the diamond thing, see what happens. Dont think we have many other cards to play.

Tomasson is a one trick pony. He’s been found out. 

[OsloRover]

Garrett on for Moran

[roverblue]

Hope that’s Moran out the team for an extended period now, ridiculous to keep starting him when he has been so poor for so long

Trondstad(!?) and Moran off for Garrett and Travis. Thought Trondstad was one of our better players first half.

[K-Hod]

My real worry with JDT is that he’s so welded to his style of play, that he won’t even abandon it to win in favour of pragmatism, on principle. 
Surely, winning is the name of the game?

Im starting to have concerns that we’ve no hope any more, based on the above.

[OsloRover]

Also Travis on for someone

WAGGOTT OUT!

Happy just to take the coin and keep his head down.

JDT's departure would mean the absence of anyone to challenge the status quo or create the necessary dissonance.

I think it is up to the fans to call Waggott out...

Venky's have to go ...

Which is just the same thing we said about Morton last season and when he finally did start putting a foot in it broke.

I think it's the reliance on the age of these loaness that brings in more issues than it should, a lot aren't physically ready for it at this level despite whose books higher up they are on.

[Torgeir]

Horrible. 

[booth]

For however crap we've been, it'd still be 0-0 only for a goalkeeping blunder.

Which is why it was a stupid idea to spend our only money and bring in a 24 year old from a foreign league.

True - a  great improvement on the two idiots we normally get on RoversTV

Awful performance on the pitch though
