v Wigan Athletic (a) 11/10/2022

[Waggy76]

Only a matter of time before WLWLWLWL becomes LLLLL..

The tactics if that's what you call it have been sussed ..

[Miller11]

Some shocking similarities to last season and Tony Mowbray, whether people want to acknowledge them or not.

- Ineffective use of a false 9

- Wide strikers who don’t get in the box enough

- Players shunted in at right back

- Inability to gain points from losing positions

- Nonsensical substitutions

- Stubbornly sticking with a failing plan

- Only one way of playing

- Ponderous build up play

- Asking players to constantly do things they are naturally bad at

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Second tele game, where we were absolute pants. Embarrassing. Going nowhere as usual.

Enjoying the wins not the defeats, but the fact this is new start for the club and Rovers have been very open about what the project and the fact we need to give JDT time and patience. Sadly some fans won't give this. Rome wasn't built in a day. 

what a laughable comment that is now! You have been anti Broughton ever since he was appointed. You never gave him a chance from minute 1! 

I've said it time after time Dack will leave in January and I said on Saturday to a Rovers fans on Saturday at Ewood. 

More OTT reaction again from certain fans who don't understand that JDT needs time and patience from fans. Look at Farke at Norwich as prime example or what Corberan did last season at Huddersfield taking them to Playoffs after a mid-table finish the season before.

sacking JDT when he only had 14 games and we are 7th. Thankfully Rovers will back him and as Sky commentator kept saying Rovers haven't demanding JDT gets us top 6 this season which I think is right cos I see this season has transition season for the playing squad, JDT and the entire football club

Did Farke and Corberans teams constantly turn in utterly abysmal performances on the road during that time?

For all the talk of shirt pulling on Morton, he had more than enough chances to do a simple pass to Ayala but he was looking for the more difficult pass.

Which sums up JDT's time here.

And Wigan were awful but better organised.

[The Mighty Chaffinch]

Get rid of the 5 at the back, play three in midfield instead with Wharton a must start. The wing backs don’t get forward like they do for other teams so what’s the point of them? Both the Rotherham and Millwall games could have been very different if either of those sides had scored first. This may be a project but at the moment I’m losing faith.

Sounds like a Mogadon team

Feel for the players. Can't fault the effort, but they are being let down by an absolute tactical shambles. Its an mess. Even the games we win I feel we win in spite of the tactics not because of them. The whole thing needs a massive rethink by JDT and quickly. 

Penny for Dacks thoughts. Busts his balls in rehab to get back and has to sit on the bench watching players not fit to lace his boots running about like headless chickens

Was their keeper ever actually called into action, I seriously don’t remember him having to do anything at all never mind a save 

According to the stats on livescore, we had 3 shots, with 0 on target. So, no.

Nail. Head.

It's unbelievable how they've managed to pick a guy who makes exactly the same fucking mistakes as the last guy.

And not one decent centre forward in the squad.

Utterly wank. 

Poor recruitment, poor tactics and seemingly no desire to fight. 

Very concerning  

How many managers have we had since Sam ?  How many players have we had since Sam. Why is it we have never managed to instil a fighting spirit at the club in all that time ? When we got promoted it was because we could out play teams because even then we never out fought anybody !

Having real difficulty choosing between Szmodics or Hirst 

[yankfan]

We set up with 5 in the back 2 holding midfields and sat back against might fucking Wigan. We deserved to lose with that mentality. 

[SuperBrfc]

That's a big test failed again, in the same way as previous defeats against physical, dirty opponents.

If it was once, or even twice, you could look past it. However, this is 5 or 6 dismal performances already where we have got beat in the same way so far this season. The manager isn't learning, the players aren't learning.

Midfield missing in action, struggling to string three passes together. Travis has gone backwards rapidly, in my view. I always thought he was talked up too much, but he was never this bad. Could it be possible that Travis and a few others aren't happy about Dack not getting more game time?

JDT isn't the answer. Somebody on another called him the 'Danish Owen Coyle'. He wasn't wrong. I don't think even Coyle would serve up crap as bad as this.

There's still time to rectify your mistake, Balaji. Wilder is available. Get on the blower. Let's put an end to this shit project and call it an experiment gone wrong.

Maybe to much influence from Benson, Johnson and Lowe ?

The W L W L W L W L sequence will end on Saturday! It will will be W L W L W L W L L

[CambridgeRover]

JDT is like our own Southgate. Same exact approach

Only one constant throughout that time... a fish rots from the head.

Morton should had a free kick before the error...

You're probably right, but the issue is the player choosing to dribble around his own area.

We're not Barcelona; if it's at the back, get it out the middle of the pitch at least.

Law of averages dictates that the longer you piss around with the ball at the back, the higher the chance of something like this happening.

[Waggy76]

I don't think the players can play twice a week and I don't think the players like playing this crazy losing  possession nonsense 😂

It’s easy predicting this team… well worth sticking £100 on it. Maybe worth sticking an extra £50 on highest possession and zero shots on target.
