v Sheffield Wednesday (a) - 29/12/2025

[RTM08]

We must be the laziest team with the ball I've ever seen. As soon as we get posession everyone jogs back to our half and stands still.

Could easily be behind to the worst team in the league and have been second best for the last 25-30mins.

[StHelensRover]

Owls started dead nervous and just sat back and let us have the ball. They eventually realised we are nothing to be scared of and completely toothless so they came and had a go, looking more likely to score. Rubbish.

I don't know how we're going to fashion a goal but we've got to. Anything less than a win is unacceptable.

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

Aye okay 'pal' enjoy the beers.

20 mins of flattering to deceive, then Pears offers Bannon a simple lob into an empty net and they realise they can win this. Miller abject, Hedges invisible, the front two punchless…I think Weds are right, they can win this.

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

So we know it's personal between them.

What are we thinking, business deal gone bad? Jilted lover?

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

I would say he’s one paced. He’s no accelerator. We have a lot of them in our team. Trying to think who isnt.

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 

The pass was horrible because he has no technique on his stronger foot, never mind his weak one. The majority of the cheap signings haven't worked out and can't even be called upon in a game like this, rather unsurprisingly.

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. 

They've not won a home game, I think they might have only won one game altogether. They're as bad as the table suggests, even without the large deductions.

Henricksson has looked okay to me.

miscontrolled an easy ball then was lost under an excellent ball over the top from cantwell,the lad has`nt got it has he,he might run around a lot but when it comes to the ball,he`s just not at this level,he`s had half a season to adjust,if he can`t do it now then he never will

[Penwortham Blue]

Just where has that Yuki Ohashi gone that looked a composed finisher ! Coming off the bench against Derby to score on his debut, he looked to have what it takes but he has missed an absolute shed load of really good chances this season. Love his effort but this season, his finishing has been absolutely woeful !

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.

They've clearly set their stall out with Tyjon. If he can't make the bench now he never will.

Do we know where Gueye is btw?

Absolutely regarding Tyjon. He's clearly not going to be here next year so why play him. I doubt he would offer much, anyway.

Regarding Gueye, who cares?

He's not wrong tbf.

[roverandout]

Rovers have the fourth lowest goals for in the championship.  And that's taking into account gudjonson has scored a third of them. Clearly the problem lies with the striker department

It was plumb for striking, a bouncing ball a yard up, Ohashi should have his laces through it

To not even have him on the bench is crazy.

I can only assume he's been sold already.

Well, I have fallen out with Makhtar after that last, lazy, gutless display at Ewood.

[neophox]

Ohashi woeful needs to step up and be a leader.

[neophox]

Strikers needed asap!!!!

Or just the most over-rated player ever to pull on the blue and white halves?

If he can help you win games whilst he's here you play him.

He's at least a forward.

Following the initial hype I haven't seen much/anything to suggest he would help.

[Tom]

Rash finish but at least we’ve had a couple of attempts 

[Exiled_Rover]

Baradji has to hit the target there.
