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

[Blue Greyhound]

They could play all night and not get a goal.

[yellowsubmarine]

We are just happy passing around like Arsenal outside Hudds penalty box without doing any harm. Backline is in shambles. We cant score without a striker. This is really one of the worst Rovers performance in a long while.

Did say at the time Nyambe would be the hardest of the outgoing players to replace.

Not Roberto Carlos in the final third but ver let us down.

100% Rev.

[DE.]

I assume Telalovic has looked as useless as in all his previous outings?

[alcd]

Brittain is so crap. 

[M_B]

Why does he play Brittain in that introverted full back position 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Grabbi running about was the highlight today. Give him MOM.

What a load of fucking shit that was.

[roversinmyblood]

Has any player had a decent game today? Total capitulation. 

[booth]

One of the worst displays I've seen from a Rovers team. I'd say a new low, but I've seen a lot worse under Venkys.

The players don’t bother turning up, so why should we? Honestly, today was absolutely shameful and every last one of them should be embarrassed.

But why should the players bother? (Incredibly) by the CEO's own admission the manager is under no pressure whatsoever to produce results, therefore, from his point of view as long as we perform well enough in a large enough percentage of games to stay up its happy days.

The lethargy permeates from the top of the Club down. If the fans have to sit through various no shows - tough kitty.

Leonard is out east center forward. By far. And he’s a kid.

What are you supposed to do when you've got to replace your top goal scorer and GK with no money. 

No pot for transfer fees and wage budget cut by 20% is what he was working with.

Change the style of football to one that you don't lose so easily even from winning positions.

Aim to bring in a few more robust players instead of weedy Moran/mortan types and look to impose a style that can grind out a few points instead of attempting to win 4.3 every week.

Sadly he is the wrong man for that type of job.

[neophox]

Worst game Ive seen this season.....we played better at Southampton and against Watford......this was utter shit. Can't see how to turn this around.

[cesus]

Am I honestly so crazy to think we might have given them some sort of game today? Injuries, Venkys, JDTs stubborn style aside, am I honestly so crazy to expect us to have given them some sort of game?!?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Anybody still thinking we’re not in a relegation battle - think again !

Avoid relegation and let the youth play…that’s the directive from the CEO.

Could be a sacking on the way soon. 

No one is getting sacked.

Develop players and stay in the championship are the only aims.

Moran a massive disappointment. Gives the ball away as often as he retains it 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Some 2,500 Rovers fans gave their time and Money to support you today....everyone of our Players AND Manager should be ashamed.

You don’t identify and sign sub standard players.

We had a reasonably strong team out today yet have been abysmal 

That’s down to the manger who gets too much of a free ride from many fans

Huddersfield haven't won at home since October when they beat QPR. I believe this is also the first time in the entire season where they've scored three goals.

I'd much rather see us in League 2 without the Venksters.

Never a truer word said. My love for football and the club is slowly dying. Hate it.

[Silas]

Something iffy with Szmodics. Looks a shell of a player out there.

Not having that can be just because of fatigue.

Doesn't look like the manager turned up to me, again.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Watford, who ran us ragged in the second half on Saturday, got banged at home by Bristol City. Rotherham beating Boro.

Merry Xmas Rovers.
