Watched a stream and thought we were good value for a point and maybe all 3. Needed to score in that spell early on but Hyam fluffed it. Would never give the handball or claim if it was against us either, ridiculous decision. Weimann should have buried his chance in the second half to give us the lead. Shame we didn’t get what we deserved, in my opinion we played a lot better than against Swansea last Saturday so maybe it evens out.

If we can keep battling till January then hopefully we can loan in some better attacking players (as we certainly won’t pay for any). Eustace done a great job on a league one budget and got the lads motivated. The key area to address in summer was wingers and strikers. We have completely failed at the former and it’s hard to judge the strikers when we create nothing for them all game. Relying on hedges/dolan/sigurdson to attack a fullback or put some crosses in is a tried recipe for failure. The only hope is ACD if he get gets a start but not seen much so far to get my hopes up.

I think given Cantwell’s lack of defensive ability means he will be moved central, his tracking back is non existent. At least Dolan puts a shift in with that regard along with Hedges so would rather they stayed out wide.

Absolutely robbed the 3 points today but not often we get to say that. Could barely make 2 passes all game and just invited wave after wave of Swansea attacks. Nobody stood out bar maybe Beck first half and Cantwell second. Some poor ones from Gueye, Hedges and Dolan. Gueye was well off it and all seemed uninterested in pressing or putting a shift in.

This break has seemed to go on forever. Be good to get a squad update from the club about who is in contention for Saturday fitness wise.

I like Dolan and want him to stay but get the impression he sees himself as a top dog/wage earner whilst his ability doesn't reflect that. You would like to think rovers could be creative and give him a smaller basic wage but bonuses for goals/assists to address this but we are basically run by total muppets.

hate losing before an international break just leaves you stewing on it for weeks 😞

Gallagher had the same problem that Gueye and Ohashi are now having. You can't score loads of goals when the ball is pinged into orbit and you are stood on the halfway line. You can't score loads of goals when you find yourself isolated out wide on the touchline with 3 defenders in front of you (although Ohashi did manage this against Bristol!). We are just turgid in our ability to create chances and support our strikers, for me it all comes down to pace/power/dribbling in the wide areas. All our attacking players want to come inside with the ball and nobody stays outside putting balls into the box.

Seems to be off the boil since his sending off and needs a goal. He might benefit from some more creativity coming into the side when Cantwell gets fit enough as its not like he is missing loads of great chances. He is mainly just feeding off scraps the same as Ohashi. I really wish we had some pacy wingers who could put crosses in, seems to work for all the teams we play against.

Did anyone manage to get a cheap riverside ticket in the end? There was meant to be a lottery or something but never heard anything of it again.

Hopefully a blip rather than the start of a streak. Turned off at 2-0 but had been poor all over the pitch, couldn’t pass, stood off our men, lost every 50/50 etc. Not targeting any one player they were all shit from what I saw that half. Start again and try and get a point away on Saturday. Starting Gueye is a must in away games hopefully that lesson is learnt by Eustace. You need something for the opposition defence to worry about and an outlet.

Could sub all 11 tbh. Failed to string more than 2 passes together all game and zero composure on the ball. Was a frantic half which at least made it entertaining. Id swap out the attacking players and let the subs have a go none of them earnt a 2nd half.

Not starting Gueye in away matches is a big mistake. Just coming straight back again and again with no presence up there

I would actually welcome a digital season ticket, forever panicking that I have forgotten it (and have previously) on the way to the ground, whilst its guaranteed I would have my phone with me.

Sounds like the players liked Steve Kean as much as us fans did.

Just to be clear as I think my original post might have come across like I was writing the guy off when it wasnt intended. The point I badly made was that I thought he was coming as a flying winger who ran the touchlines but he seems to be another 'no 10/inside forward' that we seem to collect these days. He looks decent enough but we already have loads of players that want to come inside from wide positions (Cantwell, Dolan, Hedges, Sigurdson, Weiman, Yuki). My 'potential' disappointment is more around the fact we haven't recruited a flying winger than the lad himself.

Certainly not writing him off or saying he isn’t a talent but would have expected to see him take on his man at least once by now if that’s his game as was reported. Just seems to be more of a wide forward than a winger so far in my opinion which we already have in spades.

Thought yesterday was his best game in a rovers shirt for a good while after a poor one at PNE last week. The ball stuck to him and he worked his socks off, my MotM. Pity his run and shot didn’t go in the first half would have been a goal of the season contender but the keeper read it well. Defo worth a contract but whether he deserves to be on a par with our highest paid players is prob why he isn’t signing yet.

I was hoping this guy was going to be a proper pacey dribbling winger but from what I’ve seen so far seems to be another Moran who just likes to drift inside with the ball and not take on his man. Hope he proves me wrong but isn’t what I was expecting so far.

Loving the resurgence under Eustace, winning at home is the most important metric and he is delivering. Long may it continue!

I emailed the club and the code was sent in the welcome email when you renewed your season ticket. I had lost mine so they re-sent it today after I got in touch.

I can’t see it either, does anyone know how to access this?

Another crappy kick off time, seems to be the norm this season. Hoping our home form continues and we smash these 3-0 like Bristol. There main danger last season was the striker they sold to Bristol who came on last week and looked a handful again. They also haveI Ilias Chair who is good on the ball. Other than that dont know much about them. I would like Gueye back up front to start and Baker/Dolan/Hedges replaced based on the last game for Cantwell/Duberry/Weimann.

I can feel my blood boil when I read that sob story about season tickets sales. How thick can they be to be suprised that season tickets were so low when we... Sold our best player for £20m and spent nothing in January. Failed to properly register our only money signing in January. Loaned out our club captain likely as much to do with money than sense. Won 6 games at home all season. Managed just 1 home win since October. Had a new manager that still had not managed to win a home game. Almost got relegated. Planned to sell our next best player in summer. Under a financial cloud due to the indian court case meaning we might not be able to sign any players or even worse sell large parts of the squad. Sacked the entire recruitment and scouting department at the end of the season. At the time of putting tickets on sale had made no signings. Put the ticket price up mid-summer when we still hadnt made any signings. Put out complete radio silence for most of summer so nobody had the first clue what was going on during the early bird price window. They must be absolute complete and utter morons to think it would be anything other than a total washout. If the chuckle brothers or an alien landed from mars did all the above even they wouldnt be suprised that people didnt fancy it.

He looks well rusty at the moment, guess it could be a while before we see him starting unless injuries hit.
