v Wrexham (h) - 1/1/26, 12:30pm k/o

[sharpysharps86]

Zero energy, intensity, intelligence, commitment. All summed up by Cantwell as captain. No options off the bench to change it, and a head coach who is continuously shown up by bang average managers at this level.

On that first half showing they'll get relegated and deservedly so.

He'll be waiting until the 70th minute to make changes....

Apart from the fact that Hedges will have to come off unless we want him properly injured again, what changes are there to be made? Honestly? Look at that bench. Who is changing this game at all?

[rock steady]

Solid first 45 from Captain Cantwell.

- Gave away possession for the first.

- Gave away free kick for the second. He was the one man 'wall' and seemed like he was moving away before the free kick was even struck.

- Probably our best 'chance' was attacking free kick on the edge of their box. Clipped in into the wall at waist height.

- Booked.

Dont think they were his signings. Hes just a yes man...a cheap one

He's a yes man, but not a particularly cheap one and he would have had input on all the signings.

[StHelensRover]

I think the players have been told to keep these horrid shirts as clean as possible so the club can immediately stick them on that stupid auction site to raise some money for our next shite signing 

[G Somerset Rover]

Get the captaincy off that fairy at half time for a start. He epitomises everything that’s wrong with this side.

[davulsukur]

Shown up for what we are, a second/third rate squad, managed by a poor manager.

Every single player has been fucking woeful, not a single positive throughout.

[Kjell]

Unfortunately, I have to follow the game via Rovers TV. Quite rich that they opened the game by talking about Rovers being in the playoff race.

Funny how we were heroes at Boro and villains now.

Yeh it's almost like we're playing far shitter, at home, against a worse team, and being pumped 2 nil instead of gaining a creditable draw away to second in the league.

[Ricky]

I know Chaddy rates McLaughlin but let’s be honest that first goal was abysmal from him. 

[DanielMB]

Good thing  our bench is filled with world beaters.

He's been too busy posting absolute mince on social media recently, cryptic motivational messages about nothing.

That was as bad a half as I can remember from us. I mean henriksson? Really?

pears awful. Defenders awful. Cantwell and baradji awful. Hedges awful. None of these are particularly surprises however, squad is so weak. 
 

No excuses and we deserve a tonking but I did think that challenge on hedges was bordering on reckless and out of control , surprised more wasn’t made about it. Ref looks weak, again. 

[BRFC.]

When your manager is a proven failure and your captain is proven not to be a leader it’s clear to see why we are so bad on top of the minimal investment, crap recruiting and forcing out your REAL LEADERS and best players.

 

a year ago we went to Ellend road and got a good point in a battling performance the absolute opposite to what I am watching a year later, laughable.

Dreadful. Weak!

Someone should tell Cantwell it is not the Good Ship Lollipop.. What a self indulgent, undisciplined half from our so called captain!

[Devon Rover]

Utter shite in every area of the team, including tactical approach. Why anyone still wants to pay to go and watch this crap is beyond me. Walk away - starting with the Watford game. The owners need starving out. Im not going back until they are gone. Why the hell would I?

I think we’re all seeing why he was never a mainstay at centre half for a team who have constantly been fighting relegation battles.

I'd be surprised if Gestede is expensive. He came in with fuck all experience during an era of cost cutting. He will be on less than Broughton was, and I bet he wasn't particularly expensive either.

[rigger]

Get the players to come out for the second half in the blue and white.

[London blue]

Not really much to be said that hasn't been said a thousand times over.

No surprise our bunch of has-beens, journeymen and will-never-be players are getting tonked by a well drilled and coached team.

From Pears through to Henriksson, from manager to CEO (or lack thereof), the place fucking stinks of neglect.

Fucking horrendous.

He is such a soft touch. Then you look at the opposite end of the pitch and see Hyam in the same position for Wrexham. What a downgrade.

[Miller11]

Maybe rather than Gueye not running enough this lot have all been running too much. We looked like we’d been playing for 3 hours from the first minute.

I seem to remember it being £33 a ticket, when I looked. Some brass neck to price it like that and serve up this performance.

Probably planning to send them back to Temu for a refund.

Hyam no doubt thinking thank fuck I got out of there.
