v Derby County (h) - 8/11/25 12:30pm ko

[RTM08]

Gueye and Gudjohnsen needing punting in January, you could put them together and you might get a League Two striker if you're lucky.

Add in all the long throws and I think we've won the ball maybe twice?

We need to mix it up a bit. It’s too predictable

Most predictable result of the weekend - nay, the season.

Much better second half. Montgomery needs to start games now he’s really good. First half is what killed us off and we all knew from that point eustace will hold. Time to recover in the international break and go again against Preston. 

[Torgeir]

Anticlimatic

Set us up totally wrong for this one with one natural CM. Tronstad a big miss.

Gueye is not a footballer.

Honest bunch of players but lacking In talent 

Yep, hard workers but our forwards are limited and our second team may as well consist of the janitors and tea ladies.

Glad Eustace is gone. Terrible style of football.

If I had a pound for every time we gave the ball away from a Miller long throw.......

Id have a lot of pounds. Lol.

It's over. Really poor performance given a veneer of respectability by the penalty which was totally unnecessary from Derby's point of view.

How many are hanging around for the Lengends?

[OsloRover]

Predictable. No depth in the spine of the team. I really dislike John Eustace. The end.

[neophox]

Can't stand seeing Pears in Rovers colours ...you need a good goalie to command a good backline

[Tom]

We looked second best all over the pitch to be fair, glad we got at least made it a bit of a game but we never looked like getting anything

We looked better because they sat off as Eustace used to with us. Without the penalty that game would end 2-0 - we didn't create anything of note for 90 minutes and Derby knew that would be the case. 

[K-Hod]

Shite defending lets us down yet again.

Yeah this is much better than being in the playoffs. 

[davulsukur]

Never breaking down a Eustace side after you've gifted them a 2 goal lead. 

Utter dogshit first 45mins, which is all on VI for his baffling starting 11.

Squad depth laid bare, not good enough in a million years.

[Bbrovers2288]

Gueye is simply a terrible footballer , get rid

dissapointed with the defeat but can’t complain after the wins in the last few

first half was terrible , second half much improved and we put in a bit of fight, certainly lacking some quality but at least we applied some pressure and looked like we wanted to score. Too often we have limped to defeats with nothing. 
 

had some big misses today so good time for the break and hopefully when we see them next we are a wee but stronger.

quite simply we were beat by a typical Eustace team/ tactics, they are definitely on the up

Or a Miller pass. Not a very good player at all unfortunately.

[jim mk2]

Bloomin' awful and totally predicable. Terrible letdown on a historic day for the club

And against Derby and the snake Eustace of all clubs and people

You cannot play like that first 45 minutes and expect to get anything from a game. Basic defending.

Better 2nd half - but it was game over from that 1st half performance. 
 

Players put a shift in again…just lacking quality - disappointed with Morishita and we love our long throws..!

[K-Hod]

Usual story, grudge match against loads of former players and manager, 150th anniversary ‘celebration’- we are never more certain to fail to rise to the occasion than with those variables.

Assume this is sarcasm as he's twice the manager Ismael is.

[neophox]

John Eustace wins Games...but as soon they get some injuries they will fall

..think with Wharton, Toth, Cantwell and Wharton we would had rolled them...to weak team today.

Terrible football and results vs terrible football and losing 80% of our games. Hmmm... tough choice that.
