I don't blame the manager at all. The standard of players at his disposal is woeful. He's done very well to get 9 points with that squad of players. 

I don't blame JDT but found the front 3 selected at Reading very strange, and today we seem to have set up ridiculously negative.

Why are you so horny for this? You’ve said it twice.

Have you seen their team? We have far better players. 

Yes but they aren't playing with a 17 year old and Pickering at the back. Do that to any team and they'd struggle.

Travis and Buckley played like they didn't know what a football was again too so that doesn't help when you've got such a paper thin defence.

Thin squad or not, the 11 that have started the last 3 games have not been able to retain or pass the ball at any stage of the 270 minutes. 

Just waiting for numerous posters to say how we should be grateful, because we are in the top half after 5 games.....bring it on....

The warning signs were all there the second half of last season with a stronger squad.

Swap a perennially confused manager for one who doesn't know this league and a weaker squad and hey presto after the initial 'bounce' reality sets back in.

No...no we don't..biased views.. Ayala, BBD, Travis, Brittain and kaminski ..that's it

[roverandout]

This is mowbray's mess. Effing about for 5 years. Signing dross. Allowing player contracts to run out. Signing loan after loan.  Even pep couldn't cope with this mess

Yes and we cannot afford to lose BBD as we have no goal threat at all.

Stop revelling in it and bloody learn what an acronym is.

.. these last two games are worse then anything Mowbray served up ..

Nah, just exactly the same.

Carbon copy, groundhog day,  different day same shit........ and any other clichés you want to chuck at it. 

It's never-ending pain, all blurs into one now, could literally be Henning Berg or right-good-go Bowyer in the dugout.

Makes no difference, we always seem to have the same group of surrender monkeys on the pitch. 

Which is weird cos there's different names on the back of the shirts.

I sometimes wonder if I'm in cryostasis. 

Genuinely don’t know which would be worse- being a Rovers fan 2010-2022 or just being a brain in a jar. 🤔

Yeah, the point 100% is the lack of players. Less than 100% of a squad.

I disagree. The manager's a novice. Nobody can say with any certainty the problem is purely the lack of players. 

[SuperBrfc]

This is much worse than what Mowbray served up.

Sign L1 players and rely on kids and this is what happens. Billionaire owners, apparently? They need to take a long, hard look at themselves. Things just get worse and worse under them no matter which personnel they bring in.

We look like a L1 team today and we're relying on the clueless Broughton to sort this out. We're in big trouble.

It’s nothing to do with Mowbray. Move on, he’s gone and a new man is in the dugout. It’s all down to JDT now. 

[Cherry Blue]

We need players in before next week.

two sent off at burnley - one each side.

Might as well sell him off. Can’t get out of our own half.

After today's display we can't afford to not sign a goalscorer.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Kaminski our man of the match 

[yankfan]

Hard to believe but Kamenski has had a fantastic game while conceding 3

And Dack. That's half a team. Name me their players who are better.

Let it go, BigBore. It's a bit sad you need the validation of a few people on the forum agreeing with you. 

Haha it's all gone a bit south for you on here. Since you arrived all you've done is try and fit in🤣. Are you doing the face? He's definitely doing the face lads.

[pomster]

Must be really frustrating for Jdt waiting to sign the two defenders. And theirs sweet fa you can do about it

Get them two defenders in a new striker and another midfielder and it’l be job done i think

Dolan and Edun have shown enough to the management to be given numerous minutes already this season. 

The rest of us are baffled.

Who else would you play?

Edun, Pickering and Gallagher were all signed by Mowbray.

[WacoRover]

Britain is a player. Any other positives from todays mess?
