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

[neophox]

We are shite

[norwichblue]

This is some bullshit

[JPTSwindon]

Long, long season.

What a mess.

[DE.]

Relegation written all over this squad I'm afraid. We don't create enough and one goal a game at best ain't gonna be enough. You can argue we were hard done by today, but it's a common complaint amongst poor teams. Good teams make their own luck. 

[pick32]

I thought it was a fair result, De Neve is shocking 

[yankfan]

What’s most concerning is that’s our best performance yet. Might be the best this side can muster 

[Moptop1]

FFS 🙄

Tavares gave the pen and then a terrible corner.. rough day for him and could be a spiral for him. 

Tavares didn't give the pen. It was Miller (though really it was just the ref).

[Exiled_Rover]

I think that's me done.

15 years of shit ownership. 3 years of zero investment and back to back games decided by incompetent refereeing. 

I can't take any more of this - it's pure punishment to be a fan of this team. 

[DackDackGoose]

Tavares offered nothing in play also.. short side passes and can't defend. What does he do. Screwed if trav leaves

Makes you hate football being cheated though, would of held on

[WacoRover]

Really poor stuff. Hold a 1-0 lead for 90 minutes, and blow it all to pieces in added time. 

[booth]

Wharton's not been the same since his injuries.

3 defeats, terrible start to the season. Squad downgraded, no goalscorer, no surprise.

Gestede out! Suhail out and most importantly... Venky's out!

This is a relegation season isn’t it, all the hallmarks already 

Actually though we lost thought we were much better than i anticipated. Feeling more confident about out season tbh.

Difficult to beat 12 men every week. 

United won the league for years by having 12 on the pitch - it's a huge advantage. 

[Tom]

Sickener really, a great win looked on the cards and come away with nothing, bad luck, bad officiating and poor form over a season only points to one thing sadly 

[Devon Rover]

It just gets worse and worse. 

Leaving aside very poor refereeing decisions, this is the kind of throwing away we have seen from Rovers over and over in recent seasons. I'm sick of the whole club. 

I can't stand to watch. It's like being made to repeatedly watch cctv footage of your grandpa passing his trousers, tripping himself up, then getting mugged.

[BigHoz]

Thought there was plenty of fight, just zero quality. Subs were awful. Some dreadful signings. Offered nothing going forward bar the long throw at the end. 3 games, 3 loses.

I didn't think he looked out of place - clearly quite athletic and sprayed some nice passes around.

Pretty sure i saw Tavares's lazy trailing leg tripping their no 2.

We’ll have some bad decisions against us, some for us but there’s certainly no conspiracy. Seems today it went against us.

Well as nobody actually tripped their #2 I'd suggest you get down to Specsavers?

Well that's 4 points dropped this season due to refereeing.

Conspiracy or not, we seem to get the short end of the stick more times than not. 

[RTM08]

If we could have our first 11 all game we may be able to scrape by. Unfortunately, the rest of the squad is utter guff made up of nobodies and children, so we are going to lose game after game late on.

3 games, 3 poor losses, and no idea where we're going to pick up points.

This is the season! Said it last week, don’t create chances won’t score goals, can’t defend. 
 

squad not good enough. 

Their GK pulled off a worldie from Gueye and Hyam decided to head across goal rather than into the back of the net with a free header. 

We created enough today.

But you seem to think we are victimised from the very first foul it’s very much confirmation bias

I haven’t seen a kick this season so can’t comment too much but I’d say referees are just generally not that adept these days
