Is it still 0-0? On holiday and thought it was a later KO

For those worried about Hedges as our starting RW going into the season - he's fluffed two gilt edged chances already.

We've been terrible. Hedges through 1 on 1 and straight at the keeper. Cantwell can't deliver a cross or corner De Neves touch quite bad

I’m not watching it. Reading the thread it appears we’re the worst team in the world according to the usual suspects. I’m guessing that’s not the case?

Judging by the number of folks walking back from the Elche bench at half time, I am sure somebody has been doing detailed video analysis on the Rovers.

We are not getting the footballing lesson Girona gave us when they came to Ewood before winning (or almost winning) La Liga. We did really well only to lose 2-3 that day but I would say we are shading this contest against Spanish top flight opponents.

far to much hard work for us to even contemplate it also the threat of possibly seeing cash in the club shop is likely to bring on panic attacks

The same Cantwell who played in Europe for a huge club like Rangers and also played in the Prem? They won’t know who he is?

Zero sound again

I reckon a good set piece taker is worth 10 goals a season. I also reckon Toth over Pears is worth 10 goals a season too.

Our performance? Yes Sound quality of the video? Fine.

Desperately, desperately need a set piece taker. I've seen DeNeve take one corner and it was better than anything Cantwell has put in. His delivery is criminal.

Pardon.

Sound poor and intermittent. Any one finding same?

Elche kick off home to Real Betis on Monday 18 August so are behind us in preparation.

Other people having this issue too?!

I’ve missed your referee critique 😛

Yes, quite different than the championship, can’t really tell if Elche are any good or not. I guess they must be if they are to have any hope of surviving in la liga

Tidy on the ball, but quite small and slow. Think they'd really struggle against a Championship team with an athletic front line - that long ball seems to be on all the time.

Never been a Dolan fan but admittedly he works hard, isn't hampered by injuries and does all the things you'd want from him except deliver consistently. Fact is, he isn't top quality. If we hadn't constantly low balled him he could have been a decent if not spectacular member of this years squad. Good luck to him.

If we ever play a team like this , it won't be in the championship

Someone ages ago said people weren't impressed with De Neve, and that his first touch was awful. Have to say his first touch seems terrible?

The truth behind Baradji's failed transfer

So press. Let's see what they've got.

Struggling to get the ball and keep it. No control.
