I cant ever remember a set of players as shit as this.

I thought watching Luke Varney, Feeney and Chris Brown playing up front was a low for Rovers but this...this is different gravy. 

[Angry_Pirate]

Fairly certain the squad was up (drinking) till 3:30am watching the Stranger Things finale... 

Never seen a stadium so disinterested - on and off the pitch.

On the bright side, I'm surrounded by Colorado Juniors FC on tour who think they are watching Bolton, cheered when Wrexham scored, and have slated Rovers from the first minute... they see it, and they call it soccer.

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

No. All gold

That was dreadful.

Wrexham have not been good, all they have done is press well and fire long balls at our defence.
But we have been that poor, it's been so easy for them.

Nobody wants the ball, or is brave enough to empose themselves.

Zero presence up front, we genuinely wouldn't be any worse off having Boggan and Joseph up there.

They target long balls well, they close well and they finish well. Apart from that, not much going for them. 😉

Love that we gave Rathbone his cap today and made it a family affair 

[B16Rover]

Pickering on.  Need some attacker on the pitch to offset that

Funny how we were heroes at Boro and villains now.

One half decent performance in how many?

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. 

Though no on can say Gueye is a world beater - I do think Ismails man management of him has been awful - especially at a time when we need all the bodies we can get.

I'm not doing me, I'm doing the fact it doesn't fall on the club's 150th anniversary, nor the calendar year in which the club turned 150, and the club already communicated extensively about the Derby game being the 150th anniversary. They had a whole event around it, special game with former players etc.

Today is just the day we finally got our ass in gear by having the kit ready.

Please, for fuck sake. 
 

spare me.

It’s hard to give a shit any more, after what we have been fed over the last few years and more recently with the cut backs, pathetic manager, the work experience liar and the clown running the show from the shadows.

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.

Thought we we talking about VI sorry.

Might have a problem…

Wow losing Hedges not going to help us... The one player who can carry the ball a bit.

We should definitely go to a back four. No point personnel wise continuing as we are.

[RTM08]

This has been common this season, but why when there is space in front of them do they always pass sideways and do nothing? 

Wrexham on the other hand, straight into our box every time we get the ball.

[Tom]

That’s it Cantwell out of play for a corner, it’s what you are taught to do 

[Lancaster Rover]

Fuck me, Cantwell. How has he given a corner away there the fucking idiot.

[bluebruce]

Wtf was that Cantwell

[RevidgeBlue]

Cantwell passes the ball out for a corner.

Good stuff.

[RTM08]

Cantwell knows he can't get assists with our lot so trying to pump up his numbers with Wrexham instead.

Even Gueyes biggest haters would surely admit he’s a better option than Hendrikson up top.

Ismael is a horrendous man manager - we see it with all the random post-match slagging he gives his players

Losing Hedges is not an issue. 

[Lancaster Rover]

Millar is a proper knobhead, not a fan of him continually throwing himself at the floor under any contact 

[Old Codger]

Unbelievable I know, but we have actually managed to get worse at the start of the second half.

WTAF??

[RTM08]

Pears literally doesn't know how to catch does he?

He couldn’t possibly admit he has a hand in all this. Always the ref or the players. Never him
