Andy Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Horrible performance, good result (the bit that matters) at HT. The referee seems desperate to give Leeds absolutely anything - expect a second half penalty for them and a red card for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they only need 1 goal and we are sunk And yet the best chance of the half fell to us and forced their GK into an excellent save. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WacoRover Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I didn’t think we would make it to HT scoreless, I’d be more encouraged, if we could make a pass or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugaysMarlboro Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Our best chance of getting a result is frustrating them. But hoping for a clean sheet is nigh on impossible with our record, we need more of an outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger19_80 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 We're battling and defending well at least. Zero going forward aside from one lucky break. Gallagher and Dolan offer nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Leeds will come out flying at half time. Gotta weather that storm and keep them frustrated. Real shame we nave no pace in the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside Down Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 What the fuck are these tactics supposed to be? Fair enough putting men behind the ball but there is absolutely nobody up front to release possession to. So basic and we can't do it. Time wasting from the kick off, absolutely ridiculous. Leeds are a pretty average side here and if we'd have done some absolute basic tactics and set up properly we could well have scored here. Honestly the shittest Rovers team I have ever seen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lraC Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Very happy with that so far. We cannot fault the commitment in the first half. Great to see Pears catching a couple of corners and taking the pressure off. Watching from abroad on Rovers TV. Harry Leonard doing some summary and very good too. A big half coming up and a point or even 3 puts some belief back. First ten minutes will be crucial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds aren't creating anything and also the ball isn't running for them in the box. Rovers look solid and the time wasting is 'professional'. Get your feet up and open a beer or two or a bottle of wine and relax and enjoy the anguished Leeds' fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller11 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 They clearly watched the midweek game and have decided to target us down our right hand side after seeing how calamitous Brittain and Hyam were. Carter has been left isolated out there a few times but fortunately stood up to everything pretty well. Gallagher offering absolutely nothing in their half. We’ve been sloppy with our passing when trying to break, but you can see the idea with that good chance Szmodics carved out. Still a long way to go and I’m not sure we can sustain this. Better than expected so far though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There actually is plenty up front, but every time we have the chance to break we balls it up. Bad passes, Gally just running into defenders and Dolan not releasing it quick enough. There’s chances on the break here, especially as they become more desperate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher's lack of quality is common knowledge now so I won't labour it, he's an awful forward, but Dolan ffs. His brain doesn't match his footwork. He's blind to obvious passes. There was an occasion when he had Gallagher and Szmodics running through on goal and he chose to hold up play and pass down the flank. Also why wasn't he following up on Szmodics for that fantastic save? He stopped running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to be honest the tactics have been pretty good and worked well. The issue has been on the half dozen good break opportunities we have had we've missed simple passes in the final third. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller11 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I think this is 10 or 11 games for Gallagher without a goal. That’s a drought to any normal striker, but with him it’s just what you come to expect. That substitution has me worried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
