Kargbo should really score there. 

I can't watch, at work, but I'm struggling to understand how it can be selfish but also he should really score. If he should really score then he should be taking the shot and it can't be selfish.

No! He should really pass!!

Given how high Birmingham are playing and Ohashi keeps coming deep why not just swap Karbo with him. We could do them with a ball over the top.

To be fair it shouldn’t have been a chance as the ref gifted us the opportunity.

Hedges is on purely to man-mark Gray. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

I think we will concede from a set piece.

The ref had already blown for a foul.  Abeliosu was bearing down on goal on the right of the box. Cantwell was unmarked in the middle - he should have just rolled it across.  He shot and keeper saved. Then the ref brought it back for the free kick.

It's why, if they're looking for another ST, you need a really, really fast one. 

It's also why I think Leonard / Ohashi might be better used out wide in the 4-2-3-1. Neither has the pace or size to hurt you, but both could hurt you drifting into the game from out wide.

I guess, at least he is doing something vs WBA where he was on to be a winger and didn't do that.

We are not going to score goals this season. 

[yankfan]

Are there no ball boys allowed anymore or are they in their final year of their contracts and refusing to perform as well? 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Not producing a great deal infront of goal...surprise!

I'll just let you watch the replays later & you'll understand.

Cantwell challenging his inner Tooth

Hard to score when the tactic in the final third is play it back to your keeper

Am I the only on bored by this? Could do with a goal or at least a chance. Kargbo and Cantwell both being invisible. Only Ohashi this far that can keep his head high

[DE.]

Not a huge fan of our new strategy of never creating chances or shooting. Would personally prefer a different approach. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Why is Mowbray there?

I personally think we should add more distance between Ohashi, Cantwell, Hedges and Kargbo - maybe that will work 

[Exiled_Rover]

It's hilarious that opposing defenders are literally allowed to ragdoll Ohashi, but when Gueye gives them a taste of their own medicine it's a foul. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Defended ok so far but the Front players can't create anything.

Suffering from insomnia. Doctor perscribed a Rovers game.

[RoversClitheroe]

Cantwell is absolutely wank

[moerpho]

Frustrating how we keep trying to attack down our left side with Hedges.
