He's a CB playing his absolute heart out as a RWB. I've been hugely impressed with him as a player - but no, he doesn't provide enough attacking threat.

Hes nowhere near Alebiousu...were lacking attacking threat everywhere on the pitch. Would say Alebiousu, Morishita and Gudjohnsen will sadly be missed in the next games.

I'm in disbelief at how shite that was. To top it all off, hundreds of our fans were clapping and waving at our gormless players and manager at full-time like it was a hard earned point.

[Lancaster Rover]

The most startling thing is in the stats they had 2 clear cut chances to our 1. Appalling 

[davulsukur]

Absolutely pathetic result and performance. Total garbage.

Not being able to beat a totally depleted Sheff Wed side is a new fucking low for these lot. 

Just fuck off, the lot of you.

No room in my oven for Yorkshire puddings, my head is taking up most of the space.

Pears keeping three clean sheets in a row. Unbelievable! 😂 

[K-Hod]

I know it’s 11 vs 11 and owt can happen, but they don’t deserve to be paid if they can’t beat Wednesday.

 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

God help us if we dont sign a couple of strikers,then again,rest of the team aint up to much!

[des]

We need fowards, on this show todaybwe could be playing next christmas and still not score lol

[BankEnd Rover]

Woeful uptop, never looked like scoring and honestly thought Wednesday would scramble a goal somehow.

Rovers fans expecting an easy run in and easy 3 points need to give their heads a shake. Wednesday are literally a few places below us, We are a similar level.

And the manager with no idea how to try and turn the situation round.

Yes, he's an athletic CB. Similar to if you played Carter or Miller there.

Not his fault. Bit like it's not Dlamini's fault he's done nothing in his two sub appearances. They're not being put in positions to succeed.

[Guy N. Cognito]

Couldn't land a glove on a club in freefall. 

Then again, we are on life support...

[roversfan99]

An absolutely woeful game of football between 2 crap teams run into the ground by negligent owners. We have absolutely no attacking threat, no pace, no quality, no goals, no ideas. Badly need numerous signings in that area but wont get them.

Henriksson even allowing for being out of position is nowhere near the level and offers nothing. Ohashi is a useful player at times but again poor tonight.

Baradji I thought was poor and at times lazy on his full debut. Wasnt impressed.

The Bannan chip and the scuffed shot from the corner?

Ohashi was the worst player on the pitch for me.

Two forwards, a starting LWB and a backup RWB at a bare minimum.

Knowing our lot they'll sign a CB instead.

I’m not getting into semantics, I’m just really annoyed that we had the worst chances against a team on -7.

If you want rationality, maybe come back in the morning and not 15 mins after full time.

[Cherry Blue]

No quality, no conviction, no strength and certainly no weight in attacking play with no player willing to have a go means we were as poor as Wednesday. On another day we could have got beat. Guess this is relegation football. 

5 points from safety.

They’re what I’d guessed at

[wilsdenrover]

I’ll try to look at this positively.

Jim was there and we didn’t lose. 

[DE.]

Wednesday have drawn 8 of their 23 games, so it's more an overall indictment on the quality of the division than us individually.

With that said, Wednesday have conceded 45 goals this season. We're one of only three teams not to score against them (the others being WBA and Portsmouth, the latter of whom hold the embarrassing distinction of being the only team to lose to them, at home as well. We lost to Portsmouth). 

As I mentioned earlier though, just look at our team. It's a truly sad state of affairs. Yes we have injuries, but our bench alone shows how utterly starved of investment this squad is. Our owners should hang their heads in shame, but I doubt they care enough about us to have any.
