Sadly this isn't all down to Eustace.  If he's given peanuts to spend he gets monkeys.  

True........ but at 2-0 down, why on earth would you swap one striker for another?

Beggars belief.

[RTM08]

I was downvoted by quite a number of people when I said we'd be fighting relegation during the Preston game and unfortunately I can't see anything but. 

Cuts after cuts after cuts only lead one way. We've got a cheap, ineffective squad with a plodder of a manager and under Venkys we're lucky to even be the division we're in.

Every season we have an initial purple patch and then collapse a couple of months into the season. Mentally weak and I'd take surviving the drop as an outcome for the season.

Gueye is not the brightest spark is he.

Lucky to get away with that. I was expecting red.

Should have been red. 

He doesnt look like he has a clue what to do on a footballl field.

……and he’s a Head Coach who isn’t directly choosing the players we are signing.

All he can do is give a cursory nod.

[TheFinalCountdown]

Safety risk averse board, owners board and manager. Gueye instead of Leonard sums it all up.

Sheff Utd should beat us 9 times out of 10, but atleast show some intent. It's a free hit.

Hope Leonard has something about him over the next few games. Need to try something different going forward and dont see any other options.

[TugaysMarlboro]

Who's the co commentator on the rovers feed? Also brain dead.

Didn't think Gueye should've had even a yellow as it was a "coming together" and thought Pears made a "great save" for Campbell's first effort (where he parried it straight back at him for another chance to score).

[K-Hod]

I hope RBH has enough bed capacity for all these injured Blades. Poor lambs. 

[roverandout]

And chaddy thought we'd win 2-0 lol

The top flight of Belgian football must be absolutely dire. There’s no other reason that a bloke like that can score 10+ goals.

[TheFinalCountdown]

Squad is already stretched. No real depth. Long cold winter ahead. 

I'd take 15th place now.

[roverandout]

Fuck me we're awful

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Now I’m no master tactician, but it seems to me that the best recipient of Buckley’s passes through the defence is the forward who runs onto them, and the best recipient of Travis lumping it forward is the tall one who can win headers.

I can't listen to them anymore. I get they're not neutral but we do have eyes.

‘You’re fucking shit’ comes from the Darwen End.

Believe me lads, we know.

Might be a few players who can actually play wide and cross a ball to the big man in the middle. 
He isn’t getting that from Dolan, Weismann or Hedges (left footed on right wing)

[RutlandRover]

Sheff Utd just stronger, more organised, more committed. We just don't have enough quality to counter our lack of physicality.

[joey_big_nose]

We've broadly been competitive in the midfield until the subs but now getting totally overrun

[G Somerset Rover]

Zero shots on target 85 mins in 👏

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We've offered absolutely sweet feck all.

[DanielMB]

Venkys out

[CambridgeRover]

Buckley yeesssh pants

Pickering, Brittain, Leonard all started plenty under the last manager, then Weismann, Gueye, Toth, Baker all new signings under the new manager - that’s 7 of today’s bench. 

We’re nowhere near as stretched as we have been in the past relying on Markanday and Garrett to start and looking at Telalovic on the bench as the game changer.

If we do actually get a few injuries it’s only going to get worse.
