v Norwich City (h) - 1/3/2025

[Fraserkirky]

Dolan off now

[Irish_Rover]

How many times has Forshaw misplaced passes. He’s really having a poor game. Dolan not much better

[Tugay-is-God]

Forshaw is not good enough for a play off chasing side. 

[Rover down South]

Forshaw’s passing been so sloppy today. Constantly giving it away.

Edited March 1 by Rover down South

[oozy]

If Sondre is even half fit, he'd be better than Forshaw.

[Ianrally]

WBA equalise. Out of top six for us now. 

[Old Codger]

Forshaw is the weak link in this side. Get Tronstadt on at half time, and Yuki for Dolan.

Cannot wait for Tronstad to come back

[Ricky]

Forshaw has been poor. I’d be hooking him and Dolan. I guess it depends if Tronny is fit enough for 45 minutes though. 

[Bethnal]

Good few Rovers aren’t able to keep with the pace of the game. Ribeiro, Forshaw not dynamic enough for what’s being asked of them so far today, even Trav looks a bit overwhelmed. Not convinced Carter is fully back at it. Dolan having a poor showing. Kargbo lively and direct, Gueye is working very hard, Hyam committed but bordering on recklessly so. Cantwell and Brittain bright but not coming up with the goods yet.

[B16Rover]

Hope the Ismael 60 minute role is excepted today to take Dolan and Forshaw off.  

[Forever Blue]

It’s very much an all-action style under VI. We are constantly trying to press and nick the ball. 
 

Heavy Metal football

[Mercer]

Only positive is we are still level.

We look very, very poor.

Yep, completely different approach than under the more conservative Eustace. 

[lraC]

Poor half.

Why has the manager got the number 6 in Roman numerals on his coat? 

[BankEnd Rover]

We came back into the game but still look very poor. So much space in the middle and they look much better going forward.

Foreshaws passing is woeful, Dolan hasn't done anything. We look half decent down the left but that's about it...See Norwich winning this.

Harsh. We’re certainly more open than under Eustace. However, we’ve had quite a few decent opportunities that have been let down by the final ball. It’s certainly quite direct without being hoofball

We had a really poor first 20 minutes but think we've looked okay since then. Grown into the game a bit.

[Devon Rover]

Some positive elements but mostly I'm frustrated at us not taking control of the momentum of this game. Forshaw should be nowhere near the starting 11. Bring ST on at half time

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Hodge Podge of a first half.

Woefully short in centre mid...  Signing a Foreshaw instead of an O'Brien will be the difference I think..  Happy to be proven wrong but even at his peak he wasn't great.. 

Every game I've seen him Foreshaw has been sloppy.. The game against Plymouth (I think) he played a short backpass that almost led to a goal.. 

No disrespect but I'd rather given an academy lad a go... 

[DackDackGoose]

Lets hope kargbo finds that final ball, cantwell playing ok, defo need tronstad for forshaw

[Dreams of 1995]

Must be in the minority. Think we competed well and looked dangerous down our left

Feels like a must win. Few winning or drawing around us and this would put real daylight between us and Norwich

We will win this 1-0

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

All our good play coming from the quick winger down the left.  Imagine having someone quick on the right as well.

Same, not sure where all the negativity is coming from.

Forshaw has been tidy, but obviously nowhere near as good as Tronstad. Dolan having one on his nine in ten games. 

They're a very, very fast team that's simply trying to draw us in and hit us over the top (or by using that flick pass down the centre). They're very hard to play against.
