Carter is up against a properly quick Winger. At the end of the day he's a CB doing a job out there. 

Doesn't excuse when in space just lumping it hit and hope interspersed with plain awful passing.

[rovers11]

Ohashi and Weimann off. ACD and Gueye on.

Second best so far.

[Hasta]

First time where Travis / Tronstadt in midfield has really stiffled us. There’s balls on to move forward quickly and they don’t take them.

That 2 minute spell when we looked quite good was us just moving the ball quickly but simply. However too many times instead of playing that way we either try a Hollywood ball or Cantwell / Dolan tries to beat 3 players. Just keep it simpler.

Id get ACD on for Weimann and either Buckley or Baker on for Travis.

I know hes a big guy so tempting to play it hugh, but think Gueyes pace could make a big impact here. Theres a lot of space all over the pitch and he can get in behind.

[bazza]

Radio Lancs saying it was better, for a very short time, when Dolan went on the left wing and Cantrell came in the middle. Why didn't they stay swapped.

Dolan and weimann for me

[BankEnd Rover]

Funny after 3/4 years we’ve been screaming for pace and yet our only half fast player is sat on the bench.

Duberry on please.

Embarrassing performance.  Can Travis not pass a ball ffs

There is no one Rover coming out of that half with any credit.

Technically inept to a man.

It can only get better???? Surely.......

Could sub all 11 tbh. Failed to string more than 2 passes together all game and zero composure on the ball. Was a frantic half which at least made it entertaining.

Id swap out the attacking players and let the subs have a go none of them earnt a 2nd half.

Carter is much quicker than JRC and even he's struggling with their winger.

Not a matter of pure pace he's got too much space and carter is being exposed

Brum fan said performances under Eustace were dire and 6th was out of luck more then anything and 3 points separated 6th and 20th

Neither of you think Cantwell has played well? I do. Looks the only one likely to make something happen.

No not really. As I said, all poor.

How is Duru defensively? He's not on the bench but given his relative pace compared to other defenders, he might be an option in coming games, at least on the bench.

[Rover down South]

Gueye looked like he was warming up before half time. I reckon straight swap for Ohashi.

Dolan and Cantwell seem to find space off each other, so would leave Dolan on for now.

Pickering been poor and Travis not got into the game at all tonight.

ACD for Weimann who hasn’t got into the game at all yet.

Need to take the game to Coventry. They look poor. We are the in-form side. Be disappointed not getting something here.

[Aqualung]

Must be changes at HT. 

Nobody had played well to be fair. Weimann off and Guyue on for me. 

Coventry doesn't look to confident at the back and aren't much better than us.

Haha, the state of this, a bad half and there’s meltdown 🤣

Not a meltdown by far I'm happy with alot this season but performances aren't one of them in the main. I'm just passing on what a brum fan tweeted when eustace was praised on a podcast 

[Crozzy]

Yeah fucking hell, we’ve had a poor first half. We’re unbeaten in the league so far. We are going to have bad performances like every team does. It’s going to happen. We can get something out of this, they’ve gifted us a few balls while passing it around the back in the first half   They’ve got a mistake in them

That was awful. Ohashi, Dolan, Cantwell, Carter and Pickering in particular were terrible. Reality dawns. We looked like a mid to bottom of the table side! If we don't wake up 2nd half we WILL get beaten 

[Trinidad Rover]

That was a shocking half. Couldn’t keep/wouldn’t keep hold of the ball.

Pickering is our weakest link - out of position too many times.

We are in big need of a striker. Ohashi is great but he’s so isolated. Cantwell the only one with any composure but we can’t get it to him.

Big improvement needed.

Not really. Been poor and has bottled a few challenges as well.

[WacoRover]

I think we all knew this was coming.
Definitely not getting three points today.

[roverandout]

Should be a booking

[onlyonejackwalker]

I think the team deserves us showing a bit of faith. There's still time to recover.

[davulsukur]

WTF? No changes at half time?!
