Tronstad's battling with a pocket of empty space and the empty space is winning as well.

You've been holding onto that one for a while haven't you Rev? Fair play to you.

May as well stick the young striker on for the second half. Henrikson is like playing with 10.  We started ok but those lads up top are useless. 

Agreed.

We'll be lucky to score with those two up top.

[Tom]

I’d rather we gave Jospeh a go up front and I’ve never seen him play, we just don’t look like scoring so I’d rather we have someone in who may try and find a gap and take a chance.

Started well but became almost too easy and we just don’t look to be ruthless.

[johnradfordsubbuteo2]

we are contractually obliged to show you some highlights 🤪

[Proudtobeblue&white]

If only we had a 20-goal a year striker.....

[G Somerset Rover]

Perhaps a little harsh to pick out just one player, but Henriksson is so poor. I’m as much as a goal threat as he is - and I’m sat on the sofa!

Well this side today would be quite good 8f we hsd some decent forwards

[Andy]

I quite liked the first 20/25 minutes - that trio in the middle of Tronstad, Cantwell and Baradji looked very decent and we were using passing triangles well.

But, as much as I like Ohashi for his effort and endeavour, he's just not good enough as a main striker.
He doesn't have the instincts of a Gudjohnson, for example.

After that it was a bit of a cluster.
Sheffield are terrible and the only way they're scoring is an error from Rovers.

But we have to take at least one of those chances.

[Scotty1991]

That was 46 mins of pure fucking unfiltered horse shit. 

Im not going to kick off about the signings but fuck me henrikssen is up there with De Neve as one of the worst. Fucking garbage!

Ohashi fucking useless as well, I’d happily see Gueye at the point because it surely cannot get any worse than this. 
 

The club is absolutely on its arse, my fucking word how far we have fallen!

I’m not sure it’s down to fitness.

Agreed. Think he may have a, how can I put this, languid style.

[BankEnd Rover]

You know exactly how this game is going to go when our yon men in commentary are saying "you'd expect us to get the 3 points" the arrogance is sickening enough where I'd smirk if Wednesday get the win.

We looked good in the first 20 minutes but Wednesday have held their own for the rest, any team with Bannan in the midfield will have every chance in winning this...We looked toothless uptop with Ohashi looking like an athlete instead of an actual striker. 

 

[Tom]

Henriksson taking stick but if Ohashi takes a chance he’s got an assist to his name there, he’s been the better out of the two of them - which isn’t saying much

Probably why the bloke is 25 and has played for a load of shite clubs to date.

Give over, we looked okay in the first 20. Just because they're on minus -1000 doesn't mean they are the same quality as Lancaster city.

we`ve signed 3 duffers in deneve,sidnei and henrikson,i` ve seen enough of all of them to form the judgement they`re shite and would struggle in league one

[Exiled_Rover]

Powell on for Hedges for mine.

This formation needs an attacking threat from the WB and currently we have whatever Hedges is and an Academy CB on either flank.

Exactly, Ohashi looking like a 100m sprinter than a sticker! Hendriksson the better out the 2. 

[joey_big_nose]

We should be ahead but for some poor finishing from Ohashi and Cantwell.

Weve been completely on top, just more of the same should see us win....

Really incredible how poor our bench is. Doherty is supposed to be a striker - any info anyone has on him? Any good?

You must be watching a different game to me pal, the standard is fucking abysmal, there was nothing good about that half of football.

Henricksson has looked okay to me.

Who would that be then?

As I understand it the three Academy players on the bench are LWs.

Ohashi needs a proper striker up there with him. He's good support but we can't rely on him as a regular goalscorer in the same way we can Gudjohnsen. As you say, he just doesn't have that instinct. It's not a knock on Ohashi necessarily as he's decent in many other areas, and would be a solid player in a team that had enough depth to give him better players to work alongside when Andri is unavailable.
