v Swansea City (a) - 5/2/22

[West Yorks Rover]

Said we should have bought Patterson.

[RTM08]

Buckley should never ever be played up top. He offers nothing there. Need Breo up there ASAP

Wharton tracked the man infront of him. That was on our Dutch LWB. 

Who is playing out of position, whilst an actual LWB plays in front of him.

[Gav]

Don’t leave a 3 foot striker on his own in the box, he’ll usually score. 

This lot are rubbish, come on Rovers.

Why do we keep launching it long for the strikers to chase when we have nine in the pitch. 

Nine strikers sounds like enough for one to get on the end of it.

[J*B]

Has Hedges touched it yet?

any centre forward who can head a football and hold it up would have done

He's a FB, he should know that he needs to track his man whether he's on the left or the right.

Wrong the three centre halves were too far apart pvh went awol

[Sparks Rover]

That Dutch guy looks like he needs developing to be polite

[JohnD]

On a positive note Giles looks like he's useful and fits in well

[Exiled_Rover]

That schedule is brutal - how do we possibly have a game every 4 days?!

What the hell are the teams who missed games due to COVID going to do to make up their games?!

[Tormund]

Help if you play Zeefiuk in the right position

[DE.]

Unfortunately there are no goalscorers on the pitch for him to actually provide assists to. Hard to see where the goals are coming from here.

[Sparks Rover]

Too many changes, too many new faces, 🤷‍♂️🙈

[ItsRoverZ]

Really poor start from rovers this.. making Swansea look pretty good . . Don't know why we keep hoofing it?! Such a poor way to play football.. we have noone up top it sticks too

Isn’t that a Tupac song?

He's scored 33 goals his whole career. He's a winger not a goalscorer.

Though it'd be nice for him to notch number 34 today.

[Displaced Rover]

We’re just consistently atrocious on live TV. That issue coupled with the inevitable February/March death spiral means I have very little hope for the remainder of the season.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Tony chooses to play with 10 men by putting Buckley up front. Ridiculous.

[moerpho]

They are cutting through our left side like a warm knife through butter. Need to do something or it is just a question of time before å 2nd

[simongarnerisgod]

buckley up front has never worked,he`s no pace and can`t hold the ball up,id`e sooner have ayala there than buckley(not his fault by the way,it`s just not his position)

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

It was ridiculous not signing a striker.

Back to Tony tinkering away now with his square pegs.

Yes, at least two occasions.

[Exiled_Rover]

No, Mr Commentator, Rothwell was frustrated because Buckley was dragged down on the edge of the box and the referee waved play on.
