v Swansea City (a) - 22/2/25

[Andy]

I'd genuinely play Michalski ahead of Pears at this stage.

The damage that first goal did can't be measured.

He shouldn't play for the first team again.

Not good really. Kargbo and Buckley made a slight impact when they came on but faded quickly after. Dennis didn't do anything of note, anonymous really.

When I saw the team at 2-00 pm the expression “ Lost In Team Selection” went through my mind.

Better than hedges, Weiman and Forshaw but so too do Larry curly and moe

At least this will hopefully put some pressure on Waggott and Suhail to get their arses in gear and appoint a manager. Embarrassing result today, 3 points thrown in the bin as we dawdle on hiring Eustace's replacement.

I'd love to see the referee assessment report filed for Ward this week.

Once they went 2-0 up (which he had a MASSIVE hand in) he's literally blown his whistle in their favour at every opportunity. He's not the reason we've lost, but it's infuriating watching every 75/25 (in our favour) go their way. Kills the game as a spectacle.

Horrible result and a wake-up call for those dreaming of a top 6 finish. Teams pushing for promotion don't capitulate like that. The Lowe interregnum is over - time for a decision on the manager's job.

5 shots on goal ---3 in goal PEARS a Bellend

Tough to have an impact when you're 2-0 down and the opposition can just sit in. All three looked livelier than the players they replaced. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Complete sabotage from Lowe...I'm fuming, especially at the no subs at half time. 
 

You start your best players it's that simples! And before people come and say none of the subs did anything, the game was lost!  Swansea just needed to sit back, and they did.

Sooner a new manager comes in and realises Hedges is fucking shit, the better.

I thought that after the FA Cup howler against Wigan.

How many games ago was that? 

[bigbrandjohn]

Probably needed a reality check. Forces the brains trust to make a decision early next week. I bet they hoped we would win this.

They could have announced  Lowe until the end of the season, and then Gerrard once the tax year is over. 

[Aqualung]

Jesus! I didn't expect that type of performance. 

The lot of them were total pants. 

Typical rovers. 

[Michael123458]

Horrible result today hate playing them down there. Need this new gaffer in asap. Shocked we capitulated like that but still in top 6. Just…… onto next match fucking sort it out u helmets at top..

[Lecogsportif]

2nd half was awful, no link play, no shots. Subs making cameos…

[neophox]

Think keeping Lewis Baker could had been key!

[TheFinalCountdown]

I never believed we'd make the Play-offs ultimately, (but we'd put distance between us in 5th; giving  me a glimmer of hope) and now the other challengers are coming up fast to knock us out.

Dreadful selection. Stinking performance.

Our quality isn't good enough to be consistent and when we don't turn up to fight with passion, we look an average side.

 

 

[Torgeir]

Back to earth. 

Again an uninspiring lineup, don't know what they see in Forshaw over Buckley tbh. And when Hedges got outpaced in the first half it was evident that we needed a differetn setup. Impossible task for Big Mak upfront with no support, and Swansea were all over us. Only thing worse than Rovers was the referee, Gavin Ward is stealing a living. Jesus Christ.

[Cherry Blue]

WBA grab a second goal 101 minutes.

Jackson says big week next week to appoint HC. We need him now with training starting tomorrow. No two days off like last week.

Coventry have real momentum and will overtake us. Only thing in this match I find comfort in, is that Eustace would've had the same approach - and most likely the same result. Hopefully we can get a new man sorted soon, we need a breath of fresh air inside the club.

[Aqualung]

I hate slating our own players. Good games, bad games and all that but how many fucking chances does Pears get? 

Enough is enough really. 

[superniko]

That super duper team bus came into its own again for another long journey.

You’re running the place just perfectly eh Steve

He was a fantastic squad player, replaced by a semi retired footballer. We tried the same thing last year with Fleck coming in for Wharton. It's extremely desperate stuff and you have no right being in or around the top 6 operating that way.

- read this Waggott and fuck off.

Problem is our backup is yet another cheap punt who looks to be just as dodgy.
