At absolutely no point did I even consider we'd win that shoot out! This run is not Ismaels fault, there is no manager that could put together more wins with these players and the hollowed out shell of a club the Rao family have created. To think otherwise is playing into Pashas hand who will be hard at work thinking about who his next straw man is. Don't fall for it.

He actually said hes going to.. Come and Sit on your head. Hope you enjoy both

Elliot Jackson has been on the funny mushrooms

That was a tough watch, very poor penalties from Moussa and Yuki. 1 win in 11 for Ismael, will Rovers win again this season?

Disagree. Agree materials aren't great (but isn't some of that down to his complicity anyway?) but several managers could get more of a tune.

yep

mowbray went 1 win in 17 with a superior squad than val and nothing happened,val could take us to the conference north and he would`nt be sacked,venkys don`t do sacking,they just drive managers away,if he does`nt get his strikers come febuary,i think he`ll walk tbh

We should be signing Joseph up pronto. Does Higgins' scholarship end summer 2027?

Tbh we look okay through the back and middle third with whatever combination of players (we must have played an absolutely vast number of different combinations across defence and midfield - around 8/9 different centre backs and around 6/7 centre mids?). I expected us to to get ripped apart today but we completely held our own. The issue is final third we have very very little. If we did find some quality up front we'd be fine I think

Well if our attacking players cannot score we need new forwards more then ever

Cashin was ok. Thought TGH was terrible. Montgomery wasn't bad before he went off.

Loft done. Good that we can concentrate on the league now. Knock, knock. Jim's here. Come to sit on my head? How about a French white and organic salmon instead?

What a bad game...apparently 29 shots, but only 3 on target, in the whole match (although other stats I saw say 21 shots in total)

So our esteemed leader now has a 100% loss record in the Cups to add to his abysmal League record. Picked a side to get knocked out today and couldnt even get that completely right given we were out there 120 mins. Get out of our Club. Along with Pasha, Gestede and Venky's.

Is this the only club in England (possibly the world) where a manager could be seemingly under no pressure after 1 win in 11?

Not even looked at anything to do with the game. Did we miss penalties and have we any injuries

val has got nothing to work with,bar a few journeymen and a lot of young lads,i don`t think anybody in world football could manage rovers and make a success of it

I’ll take the positives: Makeshift team took Hull to penalties in awful weather Blooded more youngsters who didn’t look too out of place. They will benefit from the experience. Toth must start next week. Commanded his area It wasn’t pretty but the players ran their hearts out until the end If we were safe I would be playing these youngsters on a more regular basis and build a system around them. Gardner Hickman played well and Cashin didn’t look rusty.

It must be the worst Rovers side offensively I think I've ever seen. We need at least 2 quality attackers, someone with abit of pace to break the lines - Henriksson can't run.

Think that's really harsh. 19. Looked to have a good left foot and some skill -hesitated for his chance but he's young and should have some leeway (on debut?)

Had to prioritize unrolling all the toilet paper rolls and then rolling them back up again, so I didn’t get to see much of the second half or the extra time. How did our star, Baradji, play?

🙂 It's clear analysis -spot on (no irony) 😉

I wouldn't mind so much considering the squad available if we actually went for it, but it's clear he hasn't the foggiest how to get us to attack, regardless of who is in the squad. Still confident he'll take us down

I genuinely can’t believe how truly horrific we are at football, at least under JDT we were playing good football despite losing, had fight under Eustace but under this fella there’s no identity, no one knows what they’re doing. It’s painful to watch.

Classic Venkys January so far, don't see it getting much better. Given quality of summer signings vs academy lads we may as well just play the latter (tongue in cheek), but we desperately need some quality in, which we just aren't going to get. Two strikers, two wing backs and maybe a centre mid should be the aim, and to permanently sign Baradji who has looked good. I doubt we get more than two new guys even if we shift 3 or 4, and they'll be Woodrow type loans knowing Gestede.
