Cos we aren't playing the same formation anymore. 

We playing 4-4-2

Are we? Whatever formation it is, it's terrible to watch. Consistently aimless balls all over the place. Players out of position. This 'change of style' has never been apparent.

Rothwell is shit

[Dolly blue]

What a shocking display ....no apparent plan, very poor skill level.......dire 

[G Somerset Rover]

Be nice if we were to ever play well again post Bristol City. Not holding my breathe.

[LDRover]

Bennett is a horrific footballer. 

[DE.]

Superb first fifteen minutes followed by a dire thirty minutes where we made countless defensive mistakes and chased shadows for the majority of the half.

We started off well with the 4-4-2 but I think we need a change. Huddersfield are getting behind and around us too easily and are having too many chances. 

[Tom]

Bennett just gave up tracking Bacuna then

Both wingers equally poor I’d be bringing one if not both off 

[Exiled_Rover]

What a shite game of football this is. Again.

[Bbrovers2288]

Iv got to say, all those clamouring from rothwell must be feeling a bit silly now. Nowhere near the answer. Show pony with no end product and dangerous liability, doesn’t keep the ball well enough, league one player

Tbf we're often like this even when Dack is in the team. Rothwell has been completely anonymous so far, barely even heard his name mentioned. Buckley started off well but has faded as the half has gone on. Gallagher and Graham toiling up front but with little to work with.

Rothwell has been very poor. 

[AAK]

Been out missed first 35 mins, from what ive seen in that 10 mins, we look just as we did againt wigan and brum, half the team out of position and lacking any kind of creativity, huddersfield look a better side.

Huddersfield come close again. We really need the half time whistle here.

Full time whistle , you mean !

Apart from first 15 min when they were poor we look like headless chickens just running around no plan or pattern to our play at all

I have this theory that because of all the chopping and changing, the opposition don't have a clue what we're up to for the first 15 mins or so - that's why we have generally started ok in some games.

Johnson very poor tracking for their goal ,but I would probably expect walton to have come for that regardless. Keepers are going soft too 

[Miker]

We’ve been dreadful since the goal. If we could actually string more than 2 passes together we’d walk away with 3 points.

[OldEwoodBlue]

down to 11th at present.

 

Need to calm it down and get some quality & composure on the ball.

[Mr. E]

Shocking amount of individual mistakes; shocking team selection. But TM will never accept an ounce of responsibility because his Dack injury excuse will always be his get out of jail free card.

Dark times ahead.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Buckley was involved in all our good play in the first 15 minutes, the lad has promise. I’m getting sick of watching Joe “He just needs starts” Rothwell, invisible for the first 30 mins and all he has done since is run into traffic then lose possession. Tosin has also been poor.

 

[yellowsubmarine]

Horrible performance after the goal. We are trying to play pretty passing football at the back but we looked so static. All these long balls over our midfield seems not dealt with by Tosin/Lenihan. Rothwell sadly, looks ineffective. Chapman needs to come on. if we are playing 442, then you need wingers to cross for the Gallagher/Graham. Bennett is always an accident waiting to happen.

Im not assed either way whether he plays or not. But what alternatives do we have? All the back up strikers are woeful and we dont have any further players who like to get forward, bar chapman who the manager seems to dislike.

He's the only one looking likely to do anything.

Graham and Gallagher have both gone missing. Buckley is lightweight.

[Wegerleswiggle]

Get Rothwell and Gallagher off.

I'm gutted tbh. Really thought after the end of last season the lad had something about him, but his latest run in the team has been massively underwhelming. Appreciate he's being played out of position but the only impact he's had is losing possession consistently. I don't feel silly for wanting to give a young lad with potential a chance to show what he can do, but unfortunately he hasn't taken that chance and can't complain if he loses his place in the team soon unless he has a storming second half here.

[roversfan99]

45 minutes of shite v a poor side and lucky to be level. Not least because they should have had a penalty and potentially Lenihan sent off.

Quite a few performances from players who look like theyve had a few too many over Christmas! Adarabioyo has been all over the place as have the 2 central midfielders, constantly giving the ball away. Bennett has been typically shite as has Gallagher, Buckley is neither a winger nor a Championship footballer at this stage and Rothwell again flatters to deceive. Need a vastly different second 45.
