Despite scoring against Oxford, JRC has been awful all season.

I think this is the best JRC has looked all season - clearly far more comfortable playing CM. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Pears just watching the Blackpool player curl a shot onto his bar. He's awful. 

[Mars Rover]

Well that just sums up Aynsley Pears

[neophox]

Pears injuring Pickering ...

No. We needed to try and improve that area of the pitch for a long time. He's a steady eddy type but any ambitious club would have signed better and had him as a squady. 

It's OK, calamity Pears has taken him out of the game

Am I alone in thinking Pickering is bang average? 

No 

[neophox]

JRC looks unfit...

[ItsRoverZ]

Pears watching a shot hit the bar he could and should be attempting to save and gather 

[B16Rover]

Says a lot about Pears that the ball hitting the bar made him jump.  Not sure why it does - its just a feeling that makes sense in my head. 

[Neal]

Pears is absolute clown shoes. 

[B16Rover]

Ohashi came with some injury record concern didn't he? And is mid way through a season so far.  Not wise to bring him on tonight in my view 

[waynerovers]

Pears is an absolute embarassment, turning his back to the ball after punching it out dead centre.

[OldEwoodBlue]

This is really bad.

Buckley needs selling tomorrow. Pathetic.

We are playing a pub side and looking like.... another pub side.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Carter has been our best attacking player this half.

Lets just hope calamity is making a really good impression this evening, hopefully enough to instill a sense of urgency

 

[Mars Rover]

Three forwards trying to tackle each other there...

[Neal]

Buckley needs to do a lot better than what's he's shown this half, been very poor. If he fancies himself to be a decent player championship level then he needs to be controlling games like this. 

[neophox]

Are we playing 4-2-4?

[bluebruce]

Umm, did we just make all our subs with half an hour left, or do you get more subs in the League Cup?

[Exiled_Rover]

Erm - I think we've switched to 3 at the back with Sigurdsson playing as a LWB. 

Batth has gone off, but Hyam and McFadzean have come on. Pickering is off too. 

[neophox]

We really need a new goalie and a new midfelder !

Thought that myself

Find it a little disrespectful tbh. This isn’t a training game and they are still very much in the game

Dont think that is Johns finest hour 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Surprised Tyjon not given a run out.

I'm more concerned by the fact that if anyone gets injured, which there's plenty of time left to happen, we are down to 10 men.

Probably wasn't gonna get on unless the game was won.
