Down to 17th

[pick32]

I’m JDT out now can’t see another win this season from anywhere 

[BankEnd Rover]

Lowest I’ve felt under JDT era….

Niall Ennis has to be one the worst signings we’ve made, along with this goal keeper.

Shocking performance AGAIN. There is only one way we are going and that’s toward relegation. 
 

DEAD CLUB

There's been crosses going into the box and no one on the end of them, because we have no notable strikers. Goalie poor again.

Why are crosses going in the box then?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Unacceptable result.

I was saying Boo-urns 😞

We are abysmal. Pretty passing football with no substance.

What we'd give for a proper manager like Hughes or Allardyce.

GB has done us over with a batch of dreadful summer signings. The fault squarely lies with the owners though for the shambles we are this season.

He was good as a makeshift RB - clearly he's not a commanding CB as he's lost both aerial challenges for their goals today. I guess it's why he's out on loan, to learn, but it's frustrating. 

He's a versatile quality defender in this league....unfortunately managed by a clown

[West Yorks Rover]

Apparently thoroughly entertaining game, 2-2 fair result, nothing between the teams.

[CambridgeRover]

How are any of them suppose to play with that keeper. He is so bad it hurts to watch him. Fuck off Gregg. 

[Ianrally]

I have to say that the real heroes for me are the fans who go week in week out to watch that dross. By heart bleeds for you all. 

[broadsword]

Boo-um, who he, red Indian chief?

[neophox]

Markandy and Ennis subs today awful.....put on Travis and Garrett to see it out....poor tactics.

[sharpysharps86]

Yeah that's it for me with JDT. 1 win in 8, 4 defeats in a row followed up with a home draw to bottom of the league. We all know that the problems run deeper and Venkys are to blame, but this style of football coupled with no real plan B and no defensive organisation isn't working anymore.

Yes I know we have a shocker of a goalkeeper and recruitment has been rough, but this group is better than making such basic errors. A fresh pair of eyes is needed.

[Ewood Ace]

Broughton has signed three centre forwards during his time here (Hirst, Telaovic & Ennis) in a combined 30 appearances they have not been able to muster a single league goal between them. The man is clueless.

[Adam C]

Too many players in that team who are not championship standard. Wahlstedt, Moran, Markanday, Ennis, Leonard, Hill, might all be good one day but they’re not what we need right now. The squad is just not good enough. We’re in an awful run and showing relegation form now but it’s down to missing so many first teamers and having to rely on loans, free transfers and cast offs to bolster our squad.

It all comes back to having no resources to replace the players we’ve lost and build a squad to challenge for promotion. Not the fault of JDT or Broughton IMO, the blame lies with Venkys. Sad times.

God forbid he doesn't ever try something different and you know, show a bit of initiative. All too cushy under naive Jon. Nice guy though.

We played well today until a handful of players were knackered and had to make some subs.

Rotherham didn't deserve a point, but that's what happens when the taps get turned off and you have owners and their underlings who don't understand the rudimentary demands of a football team.

[neophox]

Also Brittain and Pickering again having dreadful games.....

A quality defender that can't win a header? Give it a rest!

[JPTSwindon]

Very frustrating and disappointing.

Yes it will help when we have Pears back, but we need a striker who can shoot and probably a change of formation urgently.

Feels like a Mowbry death slump at the moment.

 

 

[Torgeir]

Getting more and more painful watching this team. Mayday. Signings needed. 

[CambridgeRover]

Lowest i have felt about Rovers for a long time. The standard of that squad is pathetic. 

[rovers11]

JDT has to go. You have to get the basics right to win football matches consistently in this league. The amount of goals conceded shows he has no idea about getting the basics right.

Still, I don't think players like Leo are capable of doing the basics right.

[wilsdenrover]

I think I’m officially past giving a fuck.

LOL I get the impression  he's incredibly ruthless. You're thinking of the last manager.
