Andy Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 A better team than Oxford scores 2-3 in that half. Really need a better performance in the 2nd. Hedges has had the worst half I think I've ever seen him play - really poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack pace - it's terrifying how slow we are across the park. Hedges and JRC much too slow out wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ohashi is fine, take Dolan off and shift him to #10. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyRovers Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Throw on Siggy and Gueye. Maybe Weimann. Dolan needs to come off. JRC is not a winger. Would be tempted to take off Brittain and put him in at right back. Travis has been poor. Ohashi is great. I'd put him in no 10 behind Gueye. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not too far out at all and it is hit perfectly, dipping into the goal. He’s a generally shit keeper but there’s nothing he did wrong at all on that. Hyam should’ve won his duel. He got beaten from about 35 yards out. Another game without a clean sheet. To be fair if I was the opposition manager I'd just tell my players to shoot on sight - he lets most of them in. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankfan Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Oxford yet to commit a foul. What does that tell you about our ability to put them under pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booth Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 As others have said we lack creativity and pace going forward. And it's so frustrating to watch us take one or more touches at times to take the edge away from an attacking move. Dolan hasn't done enough. No one was saving that goal, it's a goal of the season candidate. Yuki did well to get the ball back in the box for the equaliser from JRC, who up to that point I thought hadn't contributed enough. We really need a spark up front, we're missing Sammie. If there is any possible chance of spend money on Stansfield and a winger, we should do it.

Dreams of 1995 Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Dolan isn’t the answer in that 10 role. Buckley or JRC would be much better. Maybe even Ohashi in behind Gueye Far too many of our attacks break down with Dolan. How he didn’t slide Ohashi through early doors is beyond me Overall just been too lethargic. Feel as though we miss Gueye as our out ball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted August 24, 2024 Backroom Share Posted August 24, 2024 Pretty poor first half. Yet another goal in the conceded column. JRC equaliser right before half time could be a game changer though. Get Big Mac on in the second half and let him bully their defence. We need to give them something to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superniko Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 As one of Pears’ biggest long standing critics I’m not sure I can put much blame on him for that goal. Dom Hyam should be the one getting a bollocking - allowing the (smaller) attacker to control the ball with his chest / shoulder from a long ball - absolute pathetic CB defending and we see that continuously from him, way too soft. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Dolan's third game this season there and he's not done enough to nail down the position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 (edited) Just tuned in - sounds a grim half. Amazed Gueye didnt start. Hedges is dire everytime he plays. Absolutely no change there.

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Gueye is a real handfull..get him on Eustace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsloRover Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Not great, but we can still win this game. Ohashi our best player. JRC has some way to go yet but showing more than in his last few games. Too many below average performances apart from those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moerpho Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Typical Championship football! Some huff and puff, some horrible mistakes and a few moments of glory. Happy Eustace has brought a fighting spirit into this team, going by our last matches. Think we will win this. Someone else than the ordinary suspects, like Pickering or Trondstad to score the winner. COYB!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davulsukur Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Another poor showing from Rovers. JE not being particularly convincing in these first 3 leagues games. Can't stop conceding either. Bad signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
