v Hull City (a) - FA Cup R3 - 11/01/26

[BankEnd Rover]

What a waste.

Ohashi with an unbelievably poor penalty to set the tone. 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Immense amount of toil for fuck all, Loons tenure in a nutshell. Fuck the owners, just fuck off.

[G Somerset Rover]

Typifies our season.

Another loss, more injuries and a completely unecessary extra 30 mins for a broken squad. 

[pick32]

Thought everyone who came in looked comfortable apart from Doherty who was a 3/10 at best

As it's their club crest, way worse.

[Elrovers]

Poor pens from ohashi and Moussa. Great save from Toth and he played good all game. Think that’s enough for Ismael to know who slots in goal next weekend.

[DE.]

Another defeat for Ismael. In fairness though I would argue based on the teams out there it was still a more embarrassing afternoon for Hull than for us. 

Not to worry guys, we've got the cavalry coming in before Ipswich though... right Val?

What grade would you give Powell and Dlamini then?! He was much better than those two.

[BRFC.]

1 win in 11, absolutely ludicrous. Get that corner flag posted please

Who's taking pens then

Ohashi

Baradji

Gardner Hickman

Mcloughlin 

Miller

Really good guess! You even got the order right, the only difference was Doherty took the last one not Miller.

Funny, the two I would most expect to score missed, and the three I had least confidence in all notched.

That was a slog. Thank fuck it is over. 

At least Rovers had the ball in the net during the game, even though neither counted.

Dirge.

[simongarnerisgod]

back to a very nasty looking january fixture list☹️

the young lads will do ok in league one imo,only oxford,portsmouth and charlton can save us now,albeit by being shitter than us

[DeeCee]

Sigh 🙄

In Macca's case, netted superbly well.

[BRFC.]

I genuinely can’t believe how truly horrific we are at football, at least under JDT we were playing good football despite losing, had fight under Eustace but under this fella there’s no identity, no one knows what they’re doing. It’s painful to watch.

I wouldn't mind so much considering the squad available if we actually went for it, but it's clear he hasn't the foggiest how to get us to attack, regardless of who is in the squad.

Still confident he'll take us down

🙂 It's clear analysis -spot on (no irony) 😉 

[Kjell]

Had to prioritize unrolling all the toilet paper rolls and then rolling them back up again, so I didn’t get to see much of the second half or the extra time. How did our star, Baradji, play?

Think that's really harsh. 19. Looked to have a good left foot and some skill -hesitated for his chance but he's young and should have some leeway (on debut?)

[bigbrandjohn]

I’ll take the positives: 

Makeshift team took Hull to penalties in awful weather  

Blooded more youngsters who didn’t look too out of place. They will benefit from the experience. 
 

Toth must start next week. Commanded his area  

It wasn’t pretty but the players ran their hearts out until the end  

If we were safe I would  be playing these youngsters on a more regular basis and build a system around them. 
 

Gardner Hickman played well and Cashin didn’t look rusty.

val has got nothing to work with,bar a few journeymen and a lot of young lads,i don`t think anybody in world football could manage rovers and make a success of it

Not even looked at anything to do with the game. Did we miss penalties and have we any injuries 

[JonJonTheDon]

Is this the only club in England (possibly the world) where a manager could be seemingly under no pressure after 1 win in 11?
