This needed to happen, we needed this defeat. If anyone asks why, you're part of the problem.

If this standard of performance is repeated in the Championship it's going to be the Season from Hell. Nothing much in this squad to suggest that it won't be.

Judging by comments, it appears liquor sales are up wherever Rovers fandom abides 😆

coping mechanism, for sure

I think your comment sums up a lot of fans. Have  a laugh about it, it's not a. laugh for me.

I am serious now, I want to set up a mass protest. Who's with me? Seriously, I will organise the best protest ever, are people on board? No joke either, I will organise it

People have tried, some have succeeded in organising and maintaining, but the last protest-related group chat was a wet fart of shit ideas and arguing.

Can only hope a few of those players had half an eye on Saturday, because they certainly didn't seem with it tonight.

Disappointed to lose but some over reactions on here, as always.

JRC had an incredibly bad game.... Hes looked so off it. Something not right with him at all.

Thought Buckley did pretty well, and Gueye. Carter and Pickering had solid games. But the rest it was pretty bad. Duru good at beating his man but his delivery was not great and defensively he looks very suspect under the high ball.

Fadz has a real Sunday league way of playing about him.

So let's make it happen. If people want this, I'll lead it.

You could tell when he signed? He won player of the season in his first year...

Lately though, crap, yeh.

He looked gutted in the introductory interviews - he was pushed out of the door at Coventry to pay the bills.

To coin a fav Souness phrase that was a Keystone cops second half.

Relatively comfortable to coming out in an effing cup tie at home seemingly wanting to sit on the one nil, multiple subs yet again throw it into chaos and hit by a double whammy.

One that Blackpool deserved as they did the victory, who was the Championship club ?

We are screaming out for a pacey winger, wing backs are rarely the answer.

Are you protesting going out of the EFL cup?

That's such a poor response pal. You know exactly why I'm protesting, come on, are you really doing this?

Flat throughout…missed a few chances to put them to bed and let them in.

The change was uncharacteristic and I suspect he wanted to trial three at the back but it destabilised us. Individually, we gave them two goals.

Most players were below average. L Duru, Bucko, Carter, Siggy Weimann and Gueye did ok. JRC was poor on Saturday and worse today.

Lesson - JRC isn’t a CM. We don’t look comfy with 3 at the back. 

 

I think JRC last season is a centre mid but there is some sort of physical issue with him... Hes definitely a yard slower and isnt moving well.

That doesn’t excuse his decision making.

And Travis and pickering

Difficult to see any Championship standard players in this squad. Maybe Tronstad and Carter. Most of the remainder would be unlikely to make it into any other teams in this league. Venkys are building a squad for League 1.

He didn't exactly have a lot of competition.

We barely won a game in the second half of that season and he was as bad as everyone else.

Disappointing performance & result of course, but yet again there's some major overreaction by many on here imo.

Sell JRC? Sell Buckley? Sell Hyam?? Madness, we're already threadbare as it is!! And blaming Pears for tonight (and indeed for Oxford's goal) is just mental.

Clearly the players were below par tonight; that happens sometimes, especially with a much bigger game on the horizon. Clearly also Eustace will regret making the changes he did, but remember that up to now this season his changes have been excellent; he's not gonna get it right all the time, especially when the squad is light.

Everyone needs to calm down & not get carried away with wins or distraught re defeats. 

ALL the issues we have lie above the players & above Eustace.

Agreed. If you watch him for their 2nd goal he actually has a quick look over his shoulder yet still holds on to the ball and gets dispossessed.

Crack on! Some excellent minds for this tried in February and nowt was doing. Last group chat went quiet in June after the tennis ball effort at the Newcastle game.

You get too comfortable going into a game like on Saturday then you will get punished.

Reaction will be the catalyst and what the players needed.

In 100% certain I could set up a mass protest (legally) if I have the backing on here on a poll, I'll make it happen.
