v Coventry (a) - 1/11/22 - at CBS Arena (the Ricoh in old money)

[Darrenbot]

Game over,we don't comeback from going behind in games

[roverandout]

GET VALE THE FUCK OFF

[K-Hod]

Play this shite, you can’t expect not to concede tbf.

[LDRover]

Very very poor. Vale has zero ability to play with his back to goal, no physicality whatsoever.

Really?  Wharton has been our only positive performer

He’s been a bit lost defensively. Not alone in that but we’ve not won a ball in the attacking half yet. 

[BigBar]

Completely wrong team selection tonight and yes it was obvious from before kick off.

[TimmyJimmy]

We're making them look like Man City.  So far behind them in quality it's embarrassing. Could be in for a right thumping.

[BankEnd Rover]

Scott Whartons distribution is Terrible. He’s not been the same player since injury.

A Wharton the best player on the pitch for us.

[WacoRover]

We’ve been 2nd best all day

[Miller11]

Vale, Travis and Scott Wharton off.

Pickering, Dack and Garrett on.

[SamTheShrew]

This isn’t going to be the game we breaks the duck of coming back from conceding first. They will score more, no doubt. Dreadful plan, whatever it is. 

[Bohinen1983]

Vale looks so sluggish. Way off the pace. Offering absolutely nothing.  Needs subbing.  I also think we're really short in centre mid. 

Hook Vale, Dack off Brereton.  Feed it into Dacks feet and off we go.   We're missing a Bradley Johnson in the middle.  

[jim mk2]

That was absolute rubbish 

manager picked wrong tram he’s as bad as Mowbray

[ItsRoverZ]

We've just given a new contract to Vale...criminal 

Starting 11 was odd, unbalanced.

Lightweight In the middle,  really thought we were over these types of performances but obviously not, we look dreadful..

[superniko]

I know Brittain missed our best chance but he’s been our best player for me. A very good outlet for us. Would rather him on the right and Pickering on the left though 

[Trinidad Rover]

Worst we’ve been this season. Surprisingly poor.

Come out firing second half please rovers.

[jim mk2]

Coventry should be 3 up we’re so bad. We don’t need a back 5 take the prima Donna Ayala off

[Tom]

Vale really hasn’t shown anything but overall a really poor performance 

Brittain has to score though 

[onlyonejackwalker]

Still fancy our chances. Can't be that poor 2nd half and they will get jittery.

That would be ideal

[DE.]

Terrible half. That starting line up was like self-sabotage. Changes needed urgently.

[yeti-dog]

Considering we're 2nd in the league that was a putrid half of football.

Ponderous and lethargic with some horrible lazy passing.

Changes at half-time required...

Unbelievable.

Highly believable unfortunately.

[TheWeasel]

Absolutely woeful first half, nothing but passing between the back three and they couldn't even do that well. Makes no sense having most of our passing play go through the worst passers in the team. I feel like our forwards and full blacks are all over the shop, not knowing where they're supposed to be and Coventry are taking advantage by doing the basics right

If you're taking a defender off it should be Wharton not Ayala
