[Archived] Hull City [Away]; 19th February.

[jim mk2]

Typical Rovers to give fans a lift and then let them down.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

crap result. Shows how far we've fallen when some people are ok with us losing 2-0 at Hull.

[Devon Rover]

It has sounded like a no-show from Rovers. Not good enough.

When I saw the team selection and heard how it was lining up I wondered if Appleton was using the game to test something out. Bringing Rekik (a left-back?) in but not using it as an opportunity to push Olsson forward is hard to explain. That midfield was never going to be good enough.

Next game: Bentley and Olsson out wide, please.

Every right to get carried away we look solid and have a better team, were easily good enough to break into the play offs. Hull Leicester Cardiff an Watford are the only better teams at the moment.

[G Somerset Rover]

Agree DE. Some fans needed bringing back down to earth unfortunately. We haven't been playing well of late, just organised and hard to beat. Out run was always going to come to an end. Next season it is!

agree

[Oklahoma]

Still don't understand the changes MA made.

He seems to be a good manager, stuborn but rekik in the midfield was just too weird...

But we have fallen that far like it or not thanks to the owners and Kean and Hull are the second best team in this league

[sweeneybrfc]

We have sat back and crossed our fingers. Been battered for 75 minutes and by the sounds of it we'll be very lucky to only concede 2 by full time. kean's already saved a few belters.

ugh, dont think so

Not getting anything from his subs either tonight. Sounds as DJ is rubbish.

The post above you shows how unrealistic some perceptions still are. We're a mid table Championship team. Whenever we play the big guns in this league we get outplayed, it's happened time after time. Being solid and organised is fine, but only having 1 shot on goal in any competitive match is pretty pathetic. We managed more shots against Arsenal ffs.

[G Somerset Rover]

Also 1 shot on or off target away from home and almost 80 mins in. Only right to criticise Appleton, just as we have been praising him of late. We'd have been going crazy about that had Berg been in charge.

[alexanders]

Seems like all the players have been very bad.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Bad night, but we are not good enough to go up! It will take MA time, and Venkys money to make it happen. Took two seasons last time....will take the same again if they are serious about our club!

[old darwen blue]

787 Rovers fans there

Agreed entirely

This should help to keep expectations in check, we were never going up this season we had expected that then got excited at a bit of form

[Ricky]

When we're all feeling down just remember, it could be worse, we could be Wolves

[EWOODACE1]

we need a target man. rhodes is lethal in front of goal but offers nothing else. this means we lose the ball to often as our midfield isnt good enough to play the ball around. one thing app has done is made us harder to break down which is critical but we do very little week in week out in the other half. id thought we'd have brought in some good cm in instead of bringing in bentley

[pick32]

Sorry forgot this was brfcs, lets all just be depressed forget all the positives since Appleton took over and comment on how crap the team is.

[adopted scouser]

Noticed replica shirts being worn in Blackburn today after the Arsenal win, won't see many tomorrow

[alexanders]

We are the best team of all the relegated teams.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Williamson stretchered off. The new Grella. Midfield over-run again, who'd have thunked it. Still not addressed the bleedin obvious.
