JRC made of glass - just cannot be relied upon 

Have said this time after time when people talk about JRC having this spot in the team or that spot... he'll never be fit enough to consistently rely on. At best he's a bonus when he's fit.

[NeilInBristol]

sammie, beuatiful play then. he drove us forward. he got a good link with dolan then. hedges useless

Same injury that Buckley got imo - wrapped his knee around someone's body trying to clear the ball. Unfortunate rather than injury prone.

He is a good player but never fit and even when available can very rarely do 90 minutes, so frustrating.

Lads the squad is crap. No manager is going to make a large difference.

[NeilInBristol]

such poor corners, we definitely need that set piece coach to do some work

Rovers commentator pulling the lemon drizzle cake jokes out 😂

Was just thinking the same.

Apart from Sammy, Tronstad and maybe Hyam would any of our players be starters in any other side in this division?

not according to JE. he wants to do the work with the squad he has and he isnt interested in challenging the owners.

Batty was meant to be the one, but he hasn't developed at all it seems.

doesnt matter though- this is our squad minus Wharton, the club didnt invest properly in the window so he has to coach what he has, this is on him now

[NeilInBristol]

jheez lads cant you just get it away. ffs

[Bethnal]

Occasionally, you are reminded that you’re in the championship by the quality on display and this is one of those games.

Poor and Brum have been only marginally better.

Thank you .

From some of the posts on here you’d be forgiven for thinking we were flying prior to Eustace’s arrival.

That’s a shame. I remember him being talked up as the next academy product who will make it by a few on here.
Hopefully he turns a corner.   

[Oldgregg86]

Well that was shit 😂

He’s John Eustace, not Jesus Christ.

Be reasonable.

[simongarnerisgod]

apart from the chance where the birmingham should have scored,there has`nt been a great deal in it,two pretty average sides in a poor game,was`nt expecting a classic tbh

[ScorpioRover]

That first half was dreadful

A lot of you were deriding JDT's style of football - "love playing more direct, it plays to our strengths".

Gallagher hasn't won a header tonight. 

[jim mk2]

Well that was 45 minutes to forget. Should be 1-0 down. Rovers offering nothing in attack and defence looks wobbly too, especially down the left flank.  At least there were no Tomasson style giveaway goals . 

[Bohinen1983]

Now we look like a side without any identity at all... Dreadful stuff. Sure, go long at times but, Jesus!  Come on, we're capable of playing it out too. From one extreme to the other. Really disjointed, disappointing half of football. Play it out from the back, draw the buggers in then hit them.

[den]

Wish we had a team that could do the basics - like passing the ball.
