v Cardiff City (a) 04/10/2022

Where is the leadership on the field? Answer: there isn't any. Dack or another senior pro should have grabbed the ball and taken the pen

Where is the leadership off the field? Answer: None, because no decent manager would keep telling his team to play that way

[Ghost7]

Bottle jobs that didn't deserve the lifeline they were given

[Tugay-is-God]

Win, lose, win, lose; the cosmic ballet guess on

[BigBar]

No Pity party but why are these night oh so common? Makes you sick at the substandard displays that are allowed to occur. 

Inadequate owners

Inadequate board

Inadequate management

Inadequate players

Sorry I have seen enough, JDT out for me now.

After 12 games ? From which we have 18 points.

[Gaz85]

I’ve enjoyed JDTs interviews to date, will be interested to hear his take on tonight’s performance. An absolute shit show from start to finish.

[rovers11]

I was hopeful Hirst may look half decent when he pulled on a Rovers shirt. He doesn't. Bloody awful player. 

[simongarnerisgod]

dack,gallagher,hedges,morton,travis all of them should have been ahead of hirst,very unprofessional of our skipper not to make the decision for that hirst did`nt get the call,he`s the last one who should have been taking it,id`e sooner have kaminski take one than him

[WacoRover]

Tbh, we were not in this one from the start. Abysmal performance throughout, gave the ball away at every opportunity. 

I am surprised we could keep it at 1-0.

I know it’s ‘the journey’ and all that.

But just fuck off.

And that Wallace and Gromit lookalike Robinson is an annoying prick.

The journey was Mowbray, this is a project. Same shit, different manager.

We've been awful. But make no mistake, the referee cost us that game. He should be demoted after that.

The ref didn’t let that goal in or back off their players all night tbf.

He gave us a pen which we then fluffed.

[chaddyrovers]

I am gutted we missed that Penalty. Wish Sky hadn't shown that Keeper penalty stat before the penalty. Feel for Hirst tonight. 

The overall performance wasn't good enough. BBD, Dolan and Hedges all off form tonight. Buckley was awful. I still feel we aren't using Callum Brittain enough in the attacking third. 

Anyway, we moved on and let's go and beat Rotherham on Saturday now. I would stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation, but I would drop Ayala, Dolan and Buckley for Scott Wharton, Hirst and Morton.

As I first saw Hirst would take the penalty I turned the TV off. I knew he would miss...and he did. Blatant...

I didn't turn off but said to myself he'd miss. He hadn't kicked the fucking ball since coming on.

AND he took the ball and demanded taking it.

Useless pleb

[Uddersfelt Blue]

I don’t want to watch this football served up by JDT. Some good players but tactics are pathetic

There was a lot of pen takers on the pitch...this is really strange decision...Hirst cost us 1 p.

This, really

Poor from the kick off and never got better

Would have been 4-0 against a better team

No-one in or out of the ground thought Hirst would score that penalty. 

Except JDT, and Hirst.

I repeat, in terms of ball retention and passing, that is as bad as I have ever seen, and ever is a long time....

That’s the thing, when I saw that he was stepping up I was like 100% this lad is going to miss.

How could an Ayala or a Travis not go “Here mate, I’ll take this one”, assuming Gallagher or Dack wussed out of it

[Beanie01289]

Can't believe the ref blew up for the pen as the ball was cut back even a further second and its a goal

[Exiled in Toronto]

A lot not to like about that but senior pros letting a 20 yr old sub loanee take a last minute penalty is the most cowardly thing on a football pitch I’ve ever seen. Absolute disgrace.

[Tricky]

Look on the bright side, we're beating Rotherham on Saturday 😃

[K-Hod]

Dack should have wrestled that ball from Hirst, but even then, that’s a terrible penalty.

[alcd]

If this was a Mowbray performance what would we be saying....

Genuinely calm here so more of a discussion than a pop, do you not think it's possible to be in a flattering position? We have won a few games where we didn't deserve which is part of football, I get that. But your not at all concerned by his tactics and selections. Yes football is knee jerk and wrongly so at times but I'm baffled by JDT and his approach and his apparent reluctance to address short comings and the game develops.

Would you really play Hirst???
