Catching up to Rotherham now as the league's worst defence. This can't go on for much longer. 

At least we will get a couple of goals against them...

Stream has dropped again

[norwichblue]

Fucking joke. How in the fucking world was that not a foul on Markanday there. Ultimately leading to the Hull goal. Joke.

With an underfunded defence and injuries, we've got a season of it.

Just have to hope they don't score first.

Garrett has been shit

The ref was too busy counting his cards

Given the yellows we've received how is that not a yellow on Pickering?!!

Refs are piss weak in this league and are cowed to home fans/not getting grief. Be a ref, we need more of them, but be half decent and stand by your decisions. Make proper decisions, stop trying to have an easy life for 90 mins and whinge about abuse when you ref totally inconsistently and arbitrarily.

Markanday is absolutely awful. He’s no business wearing the Rovers shirt and should be shipped out of loan on January 1st. Offers absolutely zero. 

Garrett isn’t much better - certainly is no better than Travis, who does the same job as him significantly better. 

Markanday is shit. There's a player in Garrett, but he's not a ball playing CM, which is what this system requires. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Delap should be off. 

[Gordon Gekko]

Ennis comes hobbling onto the pitch 

[roversinmyblood]

Can we please actually play four at the back!! If we are going to pass it around at the back the two CBs need options. 
also why has Garrett been playing on the right wing?!!!!

[Oldgregg86]

Been really impressed with Delap for them

[BigBar]

Reactive Jon. Good lad. Didn't fancy replacing the non existent Markanday or Garrett no? Clown.

[booth]

Didn't think I would say this, but I wouldn't have taken Telalovic off. I'd have kept Moran on the bench. I'd have brought on Wharton or Moran, not both. And Moran is in such poor form at the moment.

Yes but he has been played out of position again. Not fair on him. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Seriously - why is this ref so reluctant to book the Hull players for the same niggly fouls he's consistently reached for his pocket to for Rovers?

It absolutely dictates games - it neutered Garrett and Tronstadt.

Ah we are the championship Man City. Just a really fluid great footballing team, Jon has it all under control.

He probably had to play mins as per the plan deal

Hobbling or waddling?!

Haha. Technically he may make it to 90mins for the first time in his rovers 6 month career.. don't mention that he didn't come on until 68mins

He's played the same position they play Travis when he plays in CM - they clearly don't trust him to receive the ball to feet facing his own goal. 

[davulsukur]

Hyam red card.

We really are a fucking catastrophe
