Urgh would rather have put Foreshaw on than Cantwell

BIG MAK ON A HAT-TRICK!!!

Going to struggle to keep this up for 30 mins. Need reinforcements asap!

Makes up for the pens we've not had 😁

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK>!!!

We're not offering any threat but we're also making West Brom look bang average in their own back yard. So that's a positive of sorts I guess!

Buckley being shit again.

I really don't get why it's unlikely that he'll stay. I would struggle to understand why you would jack in a year's worth of work from turning a relegation fodder team into potential play-off contenders for, what, more relegation fodder and jack-all money. It'd be a strange decision to me.

I see quite a lot of 'there's definitely a player there' comments about Buckley on here. I really just don't see it.

I was fuming after watching that last night. Literally nobody rated more than a 3 for me. Maybe Gueye gets a 4 for looking like he gave a shit. Could have put the controller through the tv when I saw JRC and Foreshaw coming on. Also when Cantwell was doing shit keepie uppies and losing the ball in our own half. What the fuck happened to the organised, playing it on the floor style from earlier in the season?! Not convinced about Kargbo yet. He looked quick in that run but he literally just came on fresh against a team who'd been playing for 90 mins. He did fuck all with it at the end anyway and was completely blocked off the ball, giving away the foul. Urgh, same every season, punch above our weight for the first half, crumble into dust the second half.

Not a good player for me. Needs 20 seconds to pick out a pass. As soon as he's vaguely pressured he crumbles.

From the ridiculous to the sublime in 20 seconds of football 🤣

That was not an easy header to plant on target. Great goal!

Gueye was good. No attacking threat but in fairness I suspect he was told his job was to get hold of the ball and make it stick to keep the pressure away from our defence. Not exactly swashbuckling football but it's damned effective. 1 - 0 to the Rovers is becoming a pretty familiar scoreline now.

Yeah agreed. Looking at it again, at his age, he needs to be taking shots rather than trying blag soft pens

How's that not a pen? No attempt to play the ball.

I never want to see Buckley in a Rovers shirt again.

Buckley is fucking useless. Two unnecessary headers in a row and then giving a foul away. Shit.

Burnley didn't have a single shot all half. Our attacking threat has been insipid as usual but Gueye's actually been quite useful with headers and the occasional ball carrying. Cantwell needs to come off for Weimann.

Reflecting on last night I actually think Dolan did great. Not offensively, and he rightly gets some stick for it as that's his role, but he was an absolute pain in the ass when tracking back and getting behind the ball. His workrate was constant whilst he was on the pitch and I believe absolutely contributed to the overall defensive effort of the team. Lots of Labore just needs a little more Arte.

Hmm we've replaced boring and organised with scruffy passes and inviting trouble this half so far.

GAAAH

Taken the home side 21 mins to register an attempt. We do look a lot more organised these days.

I'm enjoying the desire to win the ball high up the pitch at the moment

That's the way to do it. Well done lads.
