All in one innings too. I think I heard it mentioned this is the first time it’s happened to England since 2009.

Kargbo on and instantly running into the box and trying to cross/pass it in 🤞

looking at the summer recruitment so far,venkys./pasha done a great job in making sure we don`t get anywhere near the top six,which is their aim innit???

It was piss poor defending, no attempt at a tackle, just lets the attacker turn inside, then grabs the player. What the fuck do they do at training sessions ?

Feel sorry for DeNeve getting lumped in with Hedges already by some.

They're a midtable eredivisie side. Below the big 3 or 4 teams in the Netherlands that top division isn't much different in quality to the Championship I would argue, it should have been a decent match-up, but we look way off, there was a gulf in quality there imo. Hope Ismael gives them a rocket at HT

There is too much chasing shadows and not enough guile. There’s no creativity at all in the team based on this display. We’re so desperate to have a decent right winger and a fast forward, but as usual we’ll not get one before the window closes. De Neve and hedges are just ball chasers and nothing more, complete wastes of space. Very worrying!!

It's deffo an 'i don't want to get injured' type of performance so far.

There’s mistakes and then there’s thinking your playing for the British Lions not Rovers.

Anyone else notice we didnt have a Club Pennant to give NEC at Kick off?...like the first half performance,embarrassing.

YouTube chat is bonkers there's some.daft people on it

I see you’re feeling generous.

I don't think any team in the championship will press and knock it around as well as these do so not too worried on that front. We are lacking so much up at the top though. De neve presses well but worried that's all he'll bring. And I'll shout it at the back RYAN HEDHES SHOULD NOT BE STARTING! Desperate for a RW.

NEC Nejmegen are in a decent top league kicking off next week. Shame Cantwell has a knock because he would have given them something to think about. Only Tyjon doesn't look outclassed.

Our passing is diabolical. We can’t keep the ball to save our lives. There was a simple 15 yard pass to DeNeeve and we wallop it 40yards into touch. Nobody is playing well - 3/10 the lot of them. The shape of things to come I’m afraid.

it`s only a friendly game,how is he supposed to get match fit??

De Neve, Tyjon (due to his age), and Hedges should all be back up players. Depressing state of affairs.

Cheap punts and cunts. Rovers 2025.

Any of their players would easily get into our first 11

Assume he's just not fully fit yet and they daren't risk him with Brittain leaving and Miller being injured.

Maybe not a bad thing if we get thrashed today. Puts more pressure and spotlight on a very poor transfer window to date and makes it undeniable that we are desperate for more players - and not just a couple of cheap squad players who can fill multiple positions, which is essentially what we've bought so far.

I've been saying it for weeks, we desperately need strengthening in attack.

On the new season prediction thread half the posts have got us finishing in or just outside the top six. I cannot see it myself, I think this season is going to be pretty grim fare. I don't think we will go down but I think we will be spending most of the season looking over our shoulder. That prediction is before it's confirmed that Brittain has left and hopefully neither Travis or Tronstad leave or we will be in massive trouble.

Poor half that. Really unimpressed with a lot of it. Some good pressing aside, I think we've been poor and our attack is borderline non-existent.

Ohashi fluffing two gilt edged chances and Montgomery being roasted for both their goals the difference between the sides today. How anyone can watch Hedges continually lose the ball and duck out of challenges and not think he needs replacing is beyond me.
