Again, absolutely no pace.

We've basically only got two players capable of playing WB in the squad.

Yeah its a big problem... When Albiousu goes to ACN I really dont know what we do.

We’re heading down this season. Surprised more don’t see it.

You can't run a club like we have and expect to defy gravity.

We either change formation or end up with Morashita and Baradji on the flanks with nothing in the middle

We just can't win games under Ismael.

Something wrong with the mentality.

Corrected

[Devon Rover]

Two attempts on target. Against a very poor team. Dreadful. Again.

[Trinidad Rover]

Awful since our goal.

Bleak, bleak, bleak.

he`s got no defensive nous at all.you can`t carry on at this level without at least being able to mark someone

Maddening to track back 80%. Worse than not tracking back at all as others would see your recovery and assume you’d continue to be goal side.

It was a great cross and Ribiero was marking the man on the penalty spot in that freeze frame. Back post is De Neves man who he is not goal side off (which we’ve seen countless times this season). 

deneve has lost his marker countless times this season,he clearly is not up to playing at this level,you have to do some defending and marking at whatever level you play at ,he has`nt got any semblence of what to do in defensive situations

[StHelensRover]

6 minutes added, time to throw the kitchen sink at them and nick a draw, not sure we know how though. Come on Rovers

You can't play Miller RWB, he doesn't have the mobility. It's either a switch to a back 4, or TGH.

I’ve seen this manager play Hedges LCB and he seems to think De Neve is up to this standard too, so we’ll see…

We're down aren't we

Let’s see what we are made of then 

Made of cheese strings and failure, going down 

[Exiled_Rover]

Matthews - two yellow card offences and now faking an injury to kill time.

Modern football is shit, isn't it?

[booth]

I'm so glad I wasn't able to watch today.

I hope I'm able to not watch next Saturday.

At any other club Ismael would be sacked, but he won't because the people that hired him are much worse.

We just can't win an important game under Ismael.

Something wrong with the mentality.

It is not mentality , it is ability , the vast majority of the  players are not good enough , for the championship !

[Tomphil2]

A rotten second half, raft of subs then concede late for the god knows how many times this season.

This squad isn't good enough and combined with this guys terrible in game management time and again, not helped by clowns like Pears = relegation.

It's absolutely inevitable this season and everyone in upper office and ownership at Ewood deserves nothing less

C####

I think so, sadly.

This squad is less than the sum of it's parts. That has to be down to the manager and we know he's going nowhere. 

To be fair if you were a player with any ambition you'd be running a mile from this club.

[Cherry Blue]

Sack Ismeal or we go down.

Hmm... Actually looking at Baradji maybe hes got the engine for RWB?

Definitely don't think Mori can do it

We all know rovers are not capable of scoring late on

We only concede injury time goals. The one thing that we are bloody brilliant at.

[simongarnerisgod]

i was`nt hyams biggest fan but selling him on the eve of the season starting was a footballing crime

[TommyRovers]

We're going down.

Sack him and roll the dice, maybe we find another miracle.

poor team? Their passing and movement are so much better than us. We are the poor team.
