So does ours.

Cantwell has been one of our better players, since he came on.
He's actually put the effort in and tried to make things happen, unlike the rest of them.

I know there are lots of games to choose from but this has been probably the most putrid performance I've seen all season. 

Absolutely pathetic.

[rovers11]

I'm never normally one to call for a manager to go after only a handful of games in charge. But I can already see that the guy is utterly clueless and the players have no idea what they're supposed to be doing. He needs to go.

We're stuck with this fraud for three years though. He certainly won't be quitting like JE and JDT did, and we won't be paying him off. What a complete mess again. 

[West Yorks Rover]

According to BBC stats we haven't had a shot for 18 mins, that's shocking when we're 1-0 down.

I think many fans expect him to be a miracle worker because at one point he was incredibly highly rated.

You just have to look at that pass to Dolan - lovely ball, great weight on it, but Dolan is just so incredibly slow that the LB was happy to watch it run out of play.

There's nothing up front at all. Absolutely nothing. Waggott and Suhail have turned our attack into a barren wasteland.

[BigHoz]

SHITE.

horrible club. 

horrible manager.

horrific players.

this could be the first time while supporting rovers i have zero connection with a single player. 

[Bronzed A Donis]

I've got this on Radio lancs and it's so dull I've started listening to the static.

Disagree. He's given the ball away repeatedly and been petulant trying to get it back. Unfortunately he doesn't suit the rest of the team. Might do well in a team that dominates possession and keeps pressure on the opposition.

im`e to young to remember jim iley,but ismael reminds me of ince and appleton,they we`rn good enough coaches to communicate their tactics

[Athlete]

Next seasons going to be horrendous

[Tom]

This is the pits 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I had a feeling this manager appointment was pants, round his ankles by now. Another gutless performance, going nowhere but down. It's depressing.

Feel for the thousand that went.

Please don't turn up Friday - emptiness means the owners have destroyed us, which they have. Hate them.

[sharpysharps86]

Every Ismael performance has been the same. He is a total waste of time. Shockingly bad appointment.

Gueye has made a big difference, but Hedges and Dolan aren't goal scorers and Cantwell is dropping so deep to get onto the ball. 

Woodrow is terrible mind and Ohashi is a pure poacher - he needs the ball in and around the box. 

[had.e.nuff]

what is the worst start for any manager at Rover considering most managers come in to a struggling side not one sat  in the top6.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

PATHETIC.

[Dolly blue]

And…again, we go back to the SK days where we have a manager who matches the ownership.

Both clueless, both stinking the place out  , both unfit to be associated with our club. …something has to give or this club will fall into the abyss. 
No more season tickets, no more purchases….everyone must now unite.

[BigBar]

Absolute shite. All day. Talk of trying to put some pressure on and try nick a draw, we couldn't even get a cross in let alone a shot. What a fucking joke.

[Polky]

This run-in until the end of season is going be toxic.

It’s the least they deserve!

[Trinidad Rover]

Bet that will bump up the season ticket sales…..

[alex l]

Have we had a shot on target or chance of note in the second half? Can't recall one and that is shocking when a goal down and against one of the teams towards the bottom. Add that to the performances since Swansea, the new year spiral is well and truly in bloom. 

[neophox]

Ismael will get the sack...not his fault he was appointed.

The blame lies on Waggot and Pasha and the others higher up.
