v Wigan Athletic (h) - 6/2/23

[Bethnal]

Credit where it’s due, that was very good play from Jack Vale, the control on that ball and then the awareness were really excellent.

[SuperBrfc]

Even Sky know the score tonight. Co commentator saying we needed O'Brien plus 3 or 4 more in addition to make a real push for the play offs.

The January window will baffle many, especially those who don't buy into the "woe is me" script.

 

[Exiled_Rover]

They're winning everything in both boxes - we miss Ayala, Gallagher and Hyam.

[RoverDom]

Winds me up when footballers dick about with corners. Two corners in quick succession, just put it in the fecking box

[Exiled_Rover]

JRC player of the season - prove me wrong.

[OsloRover]

Brereton having a terrible game, he’s not untouchable you know Jon

[Trinidad Rover]

This side could really do with a Lewis O’Brien……oh.

Ben is Brereton again unfortunately. In front of the chile manager too. His confidence is shot.

Right hand side decent. JRC is a man transformed! Great to see.

Gally and Dolan on please.

[den]

Tripe.

[Bbrovers2288]

Almost like we could do with a striker and a midfield driving force and 

[Drover]

Hard to decide who/how many to hook off here

[Fraserkirky]

Dack looks like an OAP out there.

What's the point in doing that when we can cross it from a less advantageous position? 🤣

Gallagher is a better player when he doesn’t play. He’s just as shit as Vale.

He's going to live off that now forever 

[WacoRover]

Not encouraging. We’re struggling to keep up with this #24 side. Try something else, Tomasson. 

[JohnD]

Was that our good half or bad half?

[rovers11]

Awful as per. Vale has to come off, he offers nothing at all.

We're absolutely wide open with no defensive shape.

Like to see the stats for ground covered be he is right up there

We miss Gallagher like we miss the relegation chicken.

[jim mk2]

Should be ahead but overall that half was bilge

No leaders on the field, no one taking charge of the game

Bloke called O'Brien is good at it apparently

[Paul Mellelieu]

Ten man Rovers had the best chances but look dreadful for most part.

[pick32]

Hope we pull Vale of for Hedges and put Diaz up top 

[BigBar]

Think Travis has been decent and worthy of his recall.

[Dan]

How about put BB in the centre, put Dolan on for Vale and play two wingers that try and get the ball into BB, with Dack picking up any scraps? I know Chaddy will say BB isn’t a CF, but it’s got to be better than Vale. 

[booth]

Should be 2-0 up at least.

Squandered chances and several moments when a shot should have been a pass to a better placed player. When Travis shot Dack was in a perfect place to score, unmarked.

And this is why we fail.
