I think we’re over 800 min now. Around 9 full matches since our last one

That’s 13 hours ? Good old Tony

Another 45 minutes, another zero on the scoreboard. Mowbray has somehow managed to field what must be one of if not the least potent attacking unit in the club's entire history. Bravo.

Bournemouth score end of first half .. we really could do with 3 points today.. especially since Bristol City are a poor side 

[Fraserkirky]

If JRC just lets the ball run rather than controlling it, he is one on one with the keeper

[G Somerset Rover]

Mowbray’s gotta be smashing all kinds of records here. ONE goal in 8.5 games. It’s actually incredible quite how poor that is.

[J*B]

It really is games like this, with stakes like this, where leaders step forward. This team are desperate for one of the attackers to take responsibility on their shoulders and force a goal. Rothwell invisible, Buckley a liability, Gallagher totally useless.

This is as frustrating as last seasons drivel.

Rovers getting forward more but at the same time very poor. Too many passengers, too many players being asked to do things alien to them, not enough managerial nouse to change things.

Absolutely dreadful going forward.

As dreadful as anyone sane would imagine having two midfielders and Sam Gallagher upfront would be.

Rothwell and Buckley and Pickering all dire in that first half

On current form we’re a very poor side in a false position

If it wasn’t for Van Hecke they would have scored in the first 25mins. Maybe even two. We were getting carved. 

If we are counting times teams almost got through on goal, we did that too. Getting carved is extreme hyperbole, especially when our defender stopped the chances you mention. They had one early shot in a good spot that Kaminski looked to have well covered. I'd say Bristol showed marginally more ability to actually make chances, but they didn't show any ability to put them away. And the general play was pretty even, probably in our favour. Played off the park is just silly talk, sorry.

Well that was a hard watch.  Now we don't even create.  Best get our left footer on in his best position on the right.  Take a gamble fire Mowbary now go get Biesla.  Liven things up a bit.  So pedestrian today so far.

They look more dangerous than we do.  Better team first half I thought.

Or a decent side that's now left with no decent strikers thanks to the manager.

The only thing more painful than this toothless crap is listening to the sleep inducing Robinstv commentators.

Buckley is at least a very talented player when it's going well.

How Gallagher has made it this far in the game is just absolutely beyond me. I just can't envisage him doing anything other than showing himself up in any training drills that would require a first touch.

Time to just accept even when it was going well he wasn't even that impressive, just didn't stick out as bad in a team where no one really did. He's been found out and is doing more harm than good for months. Is it one goal this season? Says it all.

[Aqualung]

Probably the most tepid first half performance I've seen. 

Hope it changes 2nd half. 

[superniko]

Dolan and Dack on for Gallagher and Buckley/Rothwell. 

As others have said; Dolan wins MOTM then gets dropped - madness.
10 games unbeaten with Sam Gallagher not starting a single one. 8 games with 1 goal and Sam Gallagher started in most of them!

Im sure you can switch commentary.

Goes without saying but that Daragh chance was glaring. Should of buried it and bust the net!

Let’s not forgot Gallagher goal…nice finish yes but it was gifted to him by an defensive error…there was a time Gallagher was at LWB in this game…get in the box man!!!!!

Mowbray would be happy with a point.

[yankfan]

Rothwell since the transfer window has been a different player. No driving runs, sitting deeper, not involved. Not sure if it’s tactical or what but I’d pull him off for Dack. He’s been a passenger for 2 months. 

[Ghost7]

This is what we keep seeing week after week. Mind numbing ideas from the manager. It’s a farce! We haven’t scored enough with this setup across a massive amount of games now.

Are we really expecting the goals to start coming without any kind of change?

The playoffs certainly don’t allow for that kind of passiveness. Sorry to say it but we absolutely do not have what it takes.

Again... 

[ItsRoverZ]

We really are hindered with Mowbray in charge
