v Birmingham City (h) - 16/8/25

[47er]

It's lack of goals that's killing us Chaddy. A perfect plan would have seen us go 2 up or more.

Where are the goals coming from? Defence is always going to come under pressure at 1-0.

Karbgo and Gueye weren't great chances? FFS, does your seat face the pitch? 

Until that Penalty incident we were winning the game and if we had defended properly and not allowing Laird into the box I think we will the game, Would you have been moaning about a 1 nil win? 

Ismael had his tactical plan and until the penalty incident it was working perfectly

But that didnt happen. I wouldnt be moaning had we won 7 nil playing free flowing attacking football either.

You loved a moan about everything. 

Up to the penalty incident everything was in Rovers favour and it look like Rovers win. Something you and others don't focus on just all the negative stuff and we didn't created much yet we scored and were winning and created the best chance of the game until their penalty, yet you and others don't once mentioned that at all. Interesting why that it tho isn't it

When you see young players like Sid who clearly have a bit of talent but are ambling around blowing out their arse and taking corners like that you know exactly why they've landed at a skint circus club desperate for something you can call 'potential'.

@Mercer I thought that Hyam wouldnt play?

Had we won the game 1 nil would any of you moaners be moaning then? 

But we didn't win chaddy.  We lost - three in a row now.  I love your optimism and wholehearted support for the club through thick and thin - that's how it should be.  But sometimes, a touch of realism is needed.  What I saw today was, in my opinion, a dour affair with little free flowing attractive football to admire.  Birmingham weren't much better, although when the chance came to put us to the sword they did so.  We simply didn't create enough chances and when we do create the odd chance we don't take it.

The three games I've seen this week have done little to alter my opinion that this is going to be a difficult season.  There simply aren't enough goals in this team and defensively we are always likely to concede.  We have lost a lot of Championship experience over the summer and, in my view, haven't replaced it.  Ismael talked about game management and that's something that experienced players are able give you.  Today we were totally naive at the end and it cost us a point.  A 1-1 draw is no disgrace - the old adage - "if you can't win a game, don't lose it" still stands.   

In my opinion, we need a couple of old heads, who know what the game is about at this level, before the window closes.  At the moment our squad is wafer thin and injuries and suspensions could see us in real trouble.

Despite my reservations I have my ticket for Hull next week, but defeat there and the alarm bells will be ringing.

You could see a tactical plan today and it worked until the penalty incident. 

We should be taking a 1 nil win had we defending properly. Frustrating it was leaving Ewood Park knowing we should have won that game. 

And I say my support for this great club will never waiver and I won't walk away for supporting my club. I always been a glass half full pint of person  

I hope we can beat Hull and bring home those 3 points. Safe journey to Hull and Back

Starting to think you’re a plant now Chaddy. 

[Aqualung]

Well, I watched the West Brom game, the Bradford game and today's shit show. I also watched brums first game v Ipswich. 

Absolutely nothing to look forward to imho and those that think Birmingham are the team of the moment must be watching a different game. All 3 games were lacking quality. Poor fare and brum won't get a play off spot playing like they did today. 

As for Rovers. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Totally predictable and fecking boring to boot. 

Im lost for words. Just nothing positive comes out of our club ever. It's depressing witnessing what's going on it really is. 

Rant over.

That's offensive to all plants, especially succulents.

There’s glass half full and then there’s completely clueless. You’re falling into the second with some of your comments recently.

There will be a defeat Parson because the club is set to fail, I think the owners are annoyed we did not go down last season .

This year they will not fail . I maybe wrong but history tells me i won;t !

Missing from the stats is Brum players falling over at the slightest touch. They were the same against Ipswich

It was never in doubt how good he is at pressing and helping out his full back, it’s just that he’s near useless once we go behind.

Well this is it. He's no highlight reelist but after much flak deserved 👏  for his efforts

3:30am, woken up, still seething 😑 

[WacoRover]

Hedges isn’t good enough at this level. I’m afraid Scotty is damaged goods, & we’ve lost other popular players due to injury, that simply weren’t the same afterwards (Dacky comes to mind).

Miller, McLoughlin, Ribeiro, & Hyam aren’t a bad back line, but it appears Hyam is on his way out. Dittos in midfield with Tronnie & Travis. 

It’s a mess, guys. We’re 1 point from the relegation zone now… once we’re hit it, we’re not climbing out. how we go from 7th place, 2 points from playoffs to relegation, Rovers Admin & staff are to be blamed.

Only Rovers appear able to get into such as mess as this, in so fast a time.
