I also presume it's because we don't have a good set piece taker in the starting XI (and by extension the side). Unless you're just going to default to having Wharton take them all? -

I think Szmodics is too much of a 'cheeky-chap' to be captain. Let him just get on with his game and lead by example, he's not the player you want representing the team. JRC would be my shout. -

Yeah Hedges is better than Markanday and Dolan and should be starting over them. I assume JDT picked the same team (besides Tronstad) as they won the first game and he tries to reward that. He'll have to make changes for the next match, Dolan and Markanday offer very little out wide. -

Yeah, Ennis is deceptively slow isn't he? I thought Hedges was fine - provided us with some width and control, but he's all left foot - and sadly it's not a wand. -

I'd love a PROPER #9, but if you're only giving me one player upfront I'm throwing everything at a quick RW. -

A lot to be concerned about with the two goals we conceded - Szmodics gifted them the first and set pieces are clearly going to be our achilles heel. That said we absolutely put them to the sword in the second half. JRC has to play CM now for mine with Brittain at RB. I'd be looking for a RB in the transfer window - has that Colchester lad moved yet? -

A point gained for mine - we're still two wide men short at a bare minimum (obviously one of them is sat in the treatment room with a groin injury). Hedges is no great shakes of a player, but he has enough pace and is willing to run at his man. He caused Rotherham no end of problems then - imagine if we had someone similar, but with an end product? -

And we've absolutely battered them. -

JRC moving to CM for me. -

How does Travis get back into CM over JRC after this display? -

Szmodics and it won't even be close. -

I'm giving Szmodics 5/10 in the post-match voting poll. As awful as he was in the first half he's been as good this half. -

Get their GK sent off. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nothing to do with being nice 'inoffensive' lads - the wide players just aren't good enough. Travis doesn't suit our style of play either - as you can see with JRC causing them all sorts of issues now. -

Does Hedges ever go down the outside of the FB with his right foot? He's so easy to defend against. -
v Rotherham (a) - 12/08/2023
Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's not crap, he's just not technical enough to play in this system. He's a better player than Rathbone, for example, but cut from the same cloth - a niggly box-to-box CM. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Wharton and JRC have torn them to shreds the last 10 minutes - there's just nothing coming from Dolan and we know Hedges isn't a goalscorer. -

The difference between Travis and JRC in CM is night and day. -

I guess he feels we don't have another #10 in the squad. -

As their GK has just found out. You can't beg for a player to get a yellow card because he's hit a first time cross from an offside position. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's always been a yellow card for gesturing that a player should get booked - just few referees ever follow through with it. -

Love that from the referee tbf. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That's going to happen a lot this season - we only have two players above 6' on the pitch. Set pieces are going to be a big issue for us. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He beat the FB twice with tricks, but has zero pace so the RB was able to recover easily both times. If he's not signing a new contract he needs to be shipped out. -
