2-1 Cambridge!😵

This is how we play..so open..it doesn't take much for a half intelligent coach to watch our past 5-10 games and see how to score against us

2 goals conceded against a league 2 side in the first 30 mins. Says it all. JDT has no idea how to set up a team.

League 1

[Bethnal]

That is some of the worst defending in our poor run to date. Shocking.

Even still, well-worked goal by Cambridge. I wonder if Max Rushden woke up early to watch it, @Herbie6590?

Pickering and Leo at fault there. I mentioned on another thread that a nervous keeper will lead to nervous defenders. 

Spot on. Must be horrendous as a defender playing with someone so out of confidence

And Terrified fans!

[Silas]

Moran asleep at throw in.

Pickering absolutely bossed.

Hyam at fault in the box.

You're not going to get away with 3 errors at once. 

[Ricky]

They’ve not won away in the league since August lol. 

[BigBar]

Clown in the dugout, Cambridge getting balls into the box and picking up second balls...we just pass and pass and pass and are soft as shite. Had my fill of him. Bitching about the players non stop and does nothing to adapt.

At home. Against League1 opposition who is  on a bad run. And we make them look like PL. Bah humbug!

[Lancaster Rover]

I’ve been a big admirer of JDT and his style of play until recently when his total Unwillingness to be flexible and make tweaks to a system that clearly isn’t fit for the players we’ve got has cost us 15 points.
 

Fans can just about forgive a poor run of festive fixtures, but back that up with losing at home to a league 1 team. No chance.

Lol. Tbf anyone..just watch out highlights and it's the same patterns of play

[BigBar]

No Tomasson apologists here today please. 

[TheKitGuy]

Sigurdsson reminds me of the lad Antonsson we had on loan. He'd be deadly in League One but there's not enough about him for the Championship.

Remember the fa cup game last season when before that he kept going to a back 5 and conceding late on and then low and behold he did it again

I have lowered my expectations to accepting him just being a nuisance and a handful and creating chances and space for others. Goals be a bonus.

Yeah, I’m now of the view he’s not got the killer instinct of a goal scorer. He’s there to link up. Which is fine, I guess, if Sammie stays fit and on the kind of form he’s on. Big if, mind.

Shockingly slow for someone who's played at the top level

[BigBar]

Still fancy us to win here but my god it's a tough tough watch.

100%, we won’t lose this, with all due respect we’re much better than them. 

We won’t win with us conceding like we do. We are terrible at the back and keeper not helping 

[Miker]

I haven’t watched a Rovers game for the past 2 months or so and it’s unbelievable how poor we’ve become from what I remember.

Defensively we look to be in complete disarray, everyone’s all over the shop.

Why are we playing him though. He's not even fully fit

Little point in having a messageboard if people aren't allowed to give their opinion.
