Why start Brereton and Armstrong if you don't have a striker available for the bench?

Utterly baffling.

Cos that front 3 will start at Bournemouth. So why not start them?

[Prelude 192]

Bell and Johnson nearly both got assists from Throw ins! ...... For Leicester! ??

[Amo 7822]

Did someone say we had a promotion team? 

[Boroblue 563]

According to the commentary our defending is open,reckless and naive.

[Mercer 4307]

Think we'll need another ball throwing on - only way we'll get a kick!

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller 3243]

Who coaches these players? Both  Bell and Johnson have both thrown the ball in field and given it away twice.  Under tens wouldn't do that.  I despair.

Coverage is good on Youtube. 

[DanielMB 182]

Defensively naive is pretty bang on the money. The good thing about this match is that we will be tested defensively.

[Fraserkirky 1640]

Would take that Chodury on loan. Kin hell what a player.

A week away from the start of the season that is a terrible looking squad.

Yes. Agree. 

Of course people will point to injuries and omissions but it's not that unlikely for us to have a couple of players out. 

The only consolation is there's still time to sort it but talk about giving yourself a mountain to climb - that's us. A week to go and still needing 4-5 key additions... 

[Fraserkirky 1640]

Can’t believe we are going to get treated to another season of this Bradley Johnson imposter.

I would take 2 new players coming in before next week! But I bet we only get one!

Hasn't taken Matt Elliott long to clock our defensive frailties.

Well they did get promoted.

The problem is we’ve not upgraded it since.

Sounds like Matt Elliott.

[Fraserkirky 1640]

Armstrong couldn’t look anymore unimpressed if he tried.

[AspRover 199]

Pressing well enough, decent energy but against much better opposition. Can't get on the ball for more than a couple of passes, and our forwards can't win a header when we ping it forward. Going to be a long game!

[den9112 193]

Tyler reading the game well at the moment

It still says 0-0 in the corner on YouTube. Was it disallowed or are we 1-0 down?

Still 0 v 0

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller 3243]

This is 4-5-1.  Ball not going to stick with Arma.

Has been.

Fisher's possession if the ball would be suicidal in the Championship.

Embarrassing stuff. Williams just hoofed the ball into the chest of Bradley Johnson in his own area.

Seems to be plenty of dropped heads in the Rovers lineup. We look devoid of defensive organisation and offensive spark.

Yeah Magloire doing well
