v Cardiff City (a) - 20/02/2024, 19:45

No words - even if we get anything (which we won’t) this is embarrassing!

Why is Gallagher passing to SS (who is obviously offside) when he's in a goalscoring position himself????

For what it's worth, Nat Phillips has looked completely untroubled by Szmodics and Gallagher. 

The ball has been completely untroubled by any Rovers player in the opposition half. Awful, awful performance so far.  Not convinced we've even put 3 passes together.

[Silas]

Good to see they’ve picked up those downed tools.

Getting frustrated and niggly too. Wouldn't trust our discipline looking at some of the body language. 

[rock steady]

Genuinely awful advert for this league.

Would have turned off long ago if neutral!

[bluebruce]

Gally seems to have forgotten what the offside rule is tonight.

[CambridgeRover]

good news is Cardiff haven't been too threatening, maybe we can snatch something here

Out for a long spell

[LeftWinger]

This is comically bad

[superniko]

Szmodics absolutely seething we’ve sold Wharton

Only need bowler to go on one of his runs and it’s game over.

[booth]

Brittain throws it out for a goal kick.

Absolutely sums up this shower of shite.

[Miker]

Ayari, Garrett and Wharton need to all come off at half time. 

[CambridgeRover]

Really missing Dolan oddly enough, need his energy

He's not the only one, but he also needs to play much, much better. He's been shite tonight. 

[booth]

Then Chrisene miscontrols and kicks the ball out.

[Bethnal]

My gut says that we’re trying to play a conservative version of what we did under JDT, but it’s not being coached as well as that and the players just don’t fancy it at all.

I’ve seen worse halves from us, but I haven’t seen many and none that I remember where the absolute basics of football were this bad.

[London blue]

No first touch, no movement, inability to pass. Bullied and hassled off the ball. Desperately bad.

There's been a couple of moments where we could have troubled them and he's misplaced the pass.

[Silas]

Gallagher's first touch was an NFL linebacker's tackle there. 

[LeftWinger]

That's a big price watching this.

[Polky]

Only Rovers could have two Swedish internationals and they’re both wank.

Not the agenda anymore? More keep it tight, play percentages, old fashioned stuff and nick a draw or 1-0? Suits lazy players who can just sit in and knock balls into channels.

Still, IF we nick a draw or even a 1 nil win, cue results are all that matters comments. Fair enough.

Chrisene's touch has been awful.

In terms of limiting cardiff the setup is working well but weve got into positions where a simple pass creates a good chance and we've failed at it. Gally, Szmodics, Garrett and Ayari all have passed woefully.

Feels like Buckley will get the time and space to pass it. Id take Ayeri off.
