Is there any indication of impetus for this to change, or is the manager still stood on the touchline hands in pockets like a bouncer of a small town wetherspoons

There isn’t a brain between them….have you heard them speak ? Dear me ….The perfect Venkys appointment.

Warren Lucy discussing our record against newly-promoted sides, away from home: “the thing is it’s different players, different staff, different managers, different EVERYTHING”

So close to working out the common denominator.

Listening to the Radio Lancs commentary, sounds like Sonny is having a shocker ! He is usually our most consistent player and today, even he can’t find a teammate with a simple pass, so frustrating and predictable performance and looks like the outcome we all expected.

Defensively he's been as solid as ever. He's misplaced some of his progressive passes though - not the simple ones, the ones where he's trying to thread it.

We're going to lose another game where the other team have somehow managed to look worse than us, but score.

Incredibly wasteful from Carter - golden opportunity.

[Exiled_Rover]

Sounds like Carter has done his hamstring too. 

[TheFinalCountdown]

All these injuries aren't bad luck either. 

[broadsword]

This is definitely the lowest I've ever been  about rovers.

 

Well be getting relegated next season I'm sure bit that will actually feel like a relief because these parasites may just dump us then.

They've absolutely killed the joy of rovers for me, and for thousands of others. They deserve far worse than a snowball in the grid

I think we've managed to make them look comfortable - we're totally toothless up front, there's no support whenever we break as we're so deep, there's always a huge gap in the middle of the park, it's too easy. Every attempt at an incisive pass has gone astray too.

[neophox]

We're shockingly bad

Why take Ohashi off so early. Proof that Pishmael will remain a negative sod no matter what. 

Grim.

Tbf it's a long time since Ohashi did anything. But, same can be said of Cantwell.

[neophox]

Every team in this league would fancy playing us atm.

There's no plan, no patterns of play and no strategy.

We're just on the pitch knocking the ball around (poorly).

[Bethnal]

There’s no belief

[Exiled_Rover]

Williams dispossessed so he decides to go over the top on Cantwell in frustration. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Their #8 needs to be off - repeated offences when already on a yellow (just kicked the ball away again).

Get a handle on the game.

He's allowed them to constantly foul throughout the game. It doesn't help that the Rovers players don't seem bothered.

[G Somerset Rover]

What will this be, 4 wins in 20?

Fuck me.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Dire this. Pedestrian football.  Players can't control a ball. No pace. No ideas. 

[booth]

Haha, their player has hold of Gueye's arm so Gueye grabbed his. Foul given against us.

What a twat this referee is.

[simongarnerisgod]

no team shape

no tactics

no belief

 

[NJRover]

That club statement is looking more deluded by the second

[Gamst]

Not offering decent players a new contract is an incredible disincentive. Why would you bother putting your body on the line.

So does ours.
