The Rovers twitter admin took Forest's 3rd goal well.....

In fairness having been there, it was more of a clear foul than the foul not given against Saka for France’s first goal in the World Cup 😂😂

Get in

Looked pretty poor since the subs

Dack's been decent tonight, but I think taking him off now is a good decision.

Still easing him back to full fitness and fresh legs in Sam S.

Didn’t want Dack to go off but thought he was a little tired looking after last attack. Gotta be a nailed on starter now. He presses more than most of the team in fairness

The pass through to Morton was pure quality then. He is still a difference maker at this level. A run of games and no injuries please. 

And then that back heel to Buckley that took 2/3 Norwich players out the game 

I know I bang the Dack drum but he is certainly not finished. He’s one of our best players still. Quality passing, one touch passing and link up play 

Good pressing when they passing around at the back

They’re on a break for a couple of weeks, don’t tell me you wouldn’t do the same. Don’t be that guy mate come on. 

I agree, in fairness surely the players aren’t stupid enough to think that playing tennis across our 18 yards box is a good idea. They’re probably pissed offthey keep getting told to do it. I think I’d need a holiday if I was forced to do that

I can accept being out skilled but I’ll never accept us being out enthused. That’s what happened yesterday. And for players posting  holiday snaps after that ! Have they no shame ?

I was at the 3-0 defeat back in 1963. Travelled over from Rochdale on my own as a 14 year old on a “ Ellen Smith’s “ coach full of dingles. I had more balls at 14 than some of the “ men “ wearing the shirt yesterday.

It was anybodies game until a young Mike England got tired of Andy Lochead’s  constant fouling and planted him. He learnt from that, let’s hope we do.  Lochead was the Ashley Barnes of his day but more obvious.

I was just thinking, If anyone had anything about them yesterday after Barnes’ shithousery in the first half, they would have left one on him in the second half. 
He genuinely hates us (saw an interview saying he is so happy because he scored against the bastards) that showed yesterday in his play, I can’t help but admire that because once the ref let him get away once he knew he’d carry on getting away with it. Didn’t see anyone with that desire and hatred for Burnley yesterday from us 

Sorry but I’m still not over yesterday. I’ve watched plenty of away games this season: Sheff utd, Luton, Wigan, Cardiff etc and we’ve done the same fucking thing, pass across our own box while under pressure, make mistakes and then concede. We do this slow fucking boring build up play which gets to midfield and then it comes straight back every time!! There’s NO press whatsoever. Every away game I watch I think to myself ‘surely we’ll no do that again this week’ (we went direct against boro and look what happened, we actually fucking won) anyways, convinced myself today we would be more direct (knowing they are vulnerable that way) we’d press and be in their faces, and be up for the game.
What the fuck was I thinking, only a lunatic would expect JDT to change the way we play away from home for the biggest game of the season after getting slapped away from home repeatedly when playing that way. What an idiot I am. 
 

Yes we’ve won some good games and played well and the passing out from the back works at Ewood (so far, with hairy moments still) but what are we doing still doing it every away game when we’ve been beaten by shit teams like Wigan and Cardiff who’ve been really struggling when we’ve played them. 
 

I could forgive JDT for us taking the game to them and us getting pumped 3-0 because we had a fucking go but Jesus Christ, we set up like we were playing Man City away.  
 

Lastly I’ll say we need someone who can keep the ball in midfield with their back to goal, can  buy a foul of can hold it up because it’s like a game of tennis when it comes out for the back at snails pace. Good job we have a player who can hold it up sat on the bench tho, who also while am at it (allegedly) can’t do the press that JDT wants, because that press has been evident time and time again. 
 

Can get over all the defeats this season but that set up from the team he put out, tactics and lack of fight and desire, also lack of changing things when we went one down and carried on passing around the back till we twice found a claret and blue shirt is unforgivable. If it was every going to change it would have been yesterday so I think we’ll carry on getting beat away from home passing it around like dickheads for a while to come. 

Jury 100% still out for me on JDT especially with his lack of giving a fuck about that performance and swerving questions in the interview. He’s not arsed what yesterday meant to us and he’s proven it

10/10. Do you think this manager will ever play that way because I don’t ?

It doesn’t have to be direct all the time but mix it up a bit just to get our opponents guessing.

At least when we are being pressed change it and play over the top

I say it every time we try it... Brittain at LB should not be happening!! He is one of the best RBs in the league. Playing him at LB weakens the team immediately as the left side is totally unbalanced and the right side also isn't as strong as it could be because of this, throw a new defender inside of him in Mola and you have a recipe for disaster on paper and in a big game like this that's exactly what it was. Whenever I've seen Tomasson try it we've looked off and we were off again today to say the least, an absolutely appalling performance by the lot of them but it starts by not playing players in their strongest positions. A no show of a performance. Disgraceful from the players and the staff.

Also for me, Pickering has been decent for a while as well and might I add, BBD plays better when he links up with Pickering down the left!

We seriously need to sort out this going behind and not managing to do anything after problem. It’s getting silly now. 
 

when we go a goal down we carry on fannying around it’s embarrassing 

I hate to say this but I’d love someone upfront like Ashley Barnes. Absolute shithouse, must be a nightmare to play against. Passionate

Lost before the kick off. Negative mentality, poor team selection and players being led to believe they’re outclassed from the start. 

Agreed. We set up like we were playing Man City away or something. Defend defend defend. 
why not take the game to them. We were never gonna soak up 90 mins or pressure. What a joke

Quality counts.  Our midfield is horrendous.  Effort will only take u so far. Travis isn't up to it. We have no Quality up front if Diaz doesn't perform.  

Yeah I get that but our squad is capable of a lot better quality than that. Like others said, better to lose when we put a shift in and take the game to them than do what we’ve done today fannying about. We had the quality with the right game plan to do something today. This was pathetic and pathetic tactics. Same as ever fucking away game. Passing around the edge of our box

Mowbray has left us with an awful squad.  Jdt has been terrible in his tactics but he's got nothing to work with 

Fuck off he’s got nothing to work with. You’re telling me this group of players couldn’t have played better and set up than they have. You’re deluded!

What have we said all season…. A better team will punish us this for the fannying around at the back. Still doing it at 1-0 down. Fucking shambles I’m afraid. They deserved their second goal

From how shit we’ve been away from home, I really thought today of all days we’d be full of it and take the game to them. Been shite I’m afraid. 

Why not make some changes now
