I find this less frustrating being honest. All well and good when you have the players but when you don't there is nothing worse than watching a bunch of players with limited ability struggle with every single pass and look so uncomfortable trying to knock it about. I'll take a scrippy scrappy over tippy tappy.

It's the semblance of a gameplan that's lacking. I don't know what this is. This isn't scrippy scrappy, it's just shit.

The lack of discipline with basic passing and movement is shocking, and that goes for players like SS too. It's that that's gone over a cliff.

Dolan and Buckley coming on for Garrett and Gallagher

How do you know it ain't if you don't know what it is??

[G Somerset Rover]

Has Eustace been doing his homework on Keane’s set-up away to spurs or something?

Collwill for Cardiff looks a good player, maybe one to replace AW.

I remember speaking to a Kilmarnock fan on the train to the Cambridge FA Cup game.

He told me that Chrisene was a ‘gem’…lying bastard!

We need to remember that's a league where our youth LB (probably about 5th or 6th choice here if everyone was fit) is impressing. He probably was a gem for them.

Hopefully Dolan injects more impetus for us.

I thought Chrisene was ok against Stoke, but since then - especially tonight - he’s been very poor.

I can’t believe that Batty would be any worse.

Garrett really poor on the ball tonight, glad he’s just been replaced.

Fair enough it's a rough watch but I don't like the idea just yet that it's Eustace's fault. Let's give him a fair shake.

😂 fair play. My reply - because absolutely no version of football is worse than what we’ve served up over the 60 minutes 

[Paul Mellelieu]

A slight improvement following the subs.

[West Yorks Rover]

After 62 mins we've had one shot, from Hyam, which went high and wide. No corners 10 fouls against 4 for them.

 

[Miker]

Bucko completely changing our play since coming on. Would love a winner from him!

[B16Rover]

Not long since Buckley and Travis were the starters for Rovers and the enviable midfield of the championship.  Travis is now on loan at Ipswich and Buckley has spent the year so far at Sheff Weds, not sure what has gone on with those two. - Welsh commentator 

 

The fat car salesman has stripped us bare under direction of Suhail and pointed the blame at the only serial winner at the club and his corporate DoF who is negotiating with nobbies nuts 

[chaddyrovers]

Dolan with a great chance there

[CambridgeRover]

Dolan had to score, oh come on 

[BlackburnEnd75]

Buckley has come on and we can suddenly string more than 2 passes together. 

[BigBar]

Looked a penalty for handball there.

He needs to earn "a fair shake" so far he has earned nothing and is actually taking a poor squad and somehow making them look even worse...

This is so incredibly shite from both teams that it's genuinely entertaining🤣🤣

Ha ha, that's brilliant!!

[bluebruce]

How the fuck have we not scored there?

Is it ok if I give him more than 4 games?

Is it ok that I don't?

 

[aletheia]

We've moved up to 16th 😄

Yep. Do as you please but seems a bit hasty.

[OsloRover]

Much better play now, well done John with the subs
