[Archived] Rovers V Hull

[Husky]

Next week will be a dismal attendance now. Guess Lambert can't expect the fans to turn out when we always look so inept going forwards at home. 12 goals in 14 won't get the floating fans back, and every poor performance loses more and more of them.

It's kind of like a comment Chris Sutton made today about Tony Pulis (and West Brom); "I wouldn't like to buy a season ticket there"....

[Irishrover213]

Didn't think we'd get much out of today. I taught a point at best hull are a good side and will be in the shake up for promotion. 2 huge games coming up Fulham and mk dons need max points from both. With us missing Hanley it was always going to be tough.

[JAL]

The concern has to be the complete lack of fight and energy from the players on the field second half including the subs.

Easy life !

[Josh]

Spurr needs to **** off, him thinking he's Ronaldo and trying to take on two players at the half way line cost us any points. Hull didn't look like scoring until then

[Husky]

Exactly, and Fulham are certainly no great shakes, win on Tuesday we could be 8 points clear of the bottom 3 with a game in hand.

I still trust Lambert.

West Londoners coming up North on a wet cold night? There's a point at the very least which would in effect mean a 7 point gap with a game in hand on teams that are quite frankly appalling and hardly likely to turn into free scoring Barcelona's overnight.

If that was a scenario at the top of the table you'd pretty much be saying the title is ALL OVER!

The Road To Hull Is Paved With Good Intentions.

I feckin hate football.

[Mr. E]

The problem is what happens next week when a real class team comes to visit? How are we going to handle the Hammers?

A few years ago we beat them 7-0.....I'm afraid the reverse is fast approaching.

[Amo]

It's no excuse for the amount of errors and lethargy.

Poor showing!

Errors are often induced against superior opposition.

Never thought I'd use those words to describe Hull City. Shows how far we've fallen.

Radio Rovers reading out quite a few negative emails and questioning Lambert's warmups earlier on. Seem a bit more outspoken than they used to be but maybe that's due to Gerald Jackson leaving. Neil Yardley (been around for a while) and Ed Bretherton the 2 commentators.

Radio Rovers seem to have been a bit more honest and critical since Paul Lambert arrived, previously you would think we were an unlucky Brazil listening to them.

It's quite refreshing to listen to at the moment as it goes some way to reflecting views of games by posters who attend on here and what you can see on the match re-runs, which it previously did not.

Granted they are employed by the club so you can expect some smooth talk but previously it was sickening with the occasional loan voice who did not get the memo.

I don't think we'll get hammered (pun intended) but I think we'll be comfortably dispatched by two or three goals. We're so far off West Ham right now it doesn't bear thinking about.

Marshall forgetting to hold the back line is nothing to do with the opposition. Playing so narrow with Spurr on the left seems a bit stupid to me. Olsson would suit that far more.

[Tom]

Hope we learn some lessons today, as good as they were if we didn't commit Hari Kari we may have got something!

Also think we could have had a penalty first half and the ref was a shocker but that's not why we lost.

Anyway out to back of mind, evening with the family and newborn will see to that

Wonder why that is? As unlikely as it may sound perhaps Lambert told them to tell it like it is? I doubt Venkys monitor Radio Rovers to be honest.

Bowyer had a lot of friends throughout the club. Wouldn't surprise me if that extended to RR. And I doubt Venky's even know we have a radio station, much less listen to it.

[Tardyrover]

Just got back. Absolute garbage! Complete lack of skill all round.

Seems we are getting back to "Bowyery" days. 1 step forward and 2 backwards.

The signings today looked like a club with no money

[Cherry Blue]

Very poor with little to no effort. Ok Hull have some quality but today we looked like a side going down. Also no appreciation at the end from Rovers players. Spurr was at fault for first and Duffy is no leader. Gomez was our (only!) best player but he can't do it on his own.

[Stuart]

Well, we've gone from being a one-man team to being a one-man team.

Except now we don't know where the goals are likely to come from.

Our home form must be amongst the worst in the division and we really need a home win on Tuesday, now more than ever. Extremely concerned about the spectre of relegation and our heavily loanee and out-of-contract squad not being up for a fight.

Read it and weep.

Looking forward to Shane Duffy tweeting tonight to tell us all is okay and that everything will be put right on Tuesday.

[JAL]

I, want to see players who can beat a man, one on one, with regularity and then deliver that telling blow in footballing terms.

[Veevs]

Christ on a bike, what did I miss.. last week we got unlucky at Boro, played well and some people talked of us pushing forwards.. this week despite three of our key players having last minute injuries against one of the top clubs in the championship and we are suddenly destined for relegation..

You either need a time machine or a different team chief. Players like that cost money that will be far beyond our reach for many years to come. It'd be nice to have a player with one of those qualities at the moment, let alone both.

Being one of Shane biggest critics I certainly would hold him accountable for today. In fact I'd have put him upfront to make a nuisance of himself.
