I just can't get on board with Baradji. Looked good first 15 minutes then just becomes a complete passenger, had 2/3 opening to play a threatening ball and picked the wrong pass every time.

Positives - Cashin didn't put a foot wrong and Afolayan looks a tidy player.

Get Rowett in immediately. 

He's clearly a talented player - you almost wonder if he just needs to be given a free role with 2 CM behind him and told to create. 

[Eternal Optimist]

Johnson out 🤣🤣

You know how some players have that little extra burst of energy to nick balls they probably shouldn't and move the ball quicker through the midfield etc? Baradji has the exact opposite - an unlikeable amount of laziness for me.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The most talentless,lazy and disinterested set of players in our Shirt I have ever had the misfortune of watching.

Utter shyte.

[Cherry Blue]

Sorry but for me it's players not giving 100%.

Norwich were shit full stop, 2-0 flattered them. 

How many times did fans say comments that about us under Eustace?

Fact is they restricted us to 0 chances, and eventually carved a couple of chances out to score from our mistakes. And that’s what happens when you have players who aren’t good enough in your team.

[Andy]

Worrying that a very, very poor Norwich side can turn us over without much effort.

Agreed, they were relatively toothless, but more than enough for Rovers. 

I was hoping so many guys returning from injury would give us a boost. The truth is, we’re a poor club. No miracles in this bunch, we’re League 1 bound. 

[had.e.nuff]

how many shots on target have we had this seasons what a bore fest , switched of at 60min had some freshly painted skirting boards to watch. div one here we come.

[roverandout]

Gestede needs to pull his finger out and appoint a fucking miracle worker.  We don't want another chancer yes man. We need a fucking experienced manager who can get the best out of a bunch of rubber dinghy men

[Doaksie]

The same script we've saw play out ad nauseam this season. A limited set of players set up to stack the central areas in an attempt to stifle the opposition. Too many passengers watching the game pass them by in third gear. When the substitutions arrive, and the default pattern is altered, they fall apart. Again, a chasm between the defensive areas, and 'attacking'. No threat whatsoever, and once again we watch a sub-par motley crew stand aside and wait for something to happen. Yet again, forced to watch the opposition support enjoy their day out at our expense. 

I cannot see how this squad gathers enough points to survive. You pay peanuts....

Is this our purgatory for the Jack years?

Gestede needs to resign, nothing more, nothing less.

[TimmyJimmy]

When you mix together incredibly bad luck with a team that's just awful then there's only on outcome.

We are shockingly bad and deserve all we get yet really, we can't buy a break this season.

Own goals, worldies, deflections, abandoned games, half a season with 14 injuries etc., etc..

Nothing can disguise how bad we are but coupled with luck like that we are truely doomed this season. No escape.

There's two people responsible for this, everything stems from them. Their performance is an f'ing disgrace and they should piss off asap and leave us to our misery.

Who on earth in their right mind wants to manage this shit show.

[johnradfordsubbuteo2]

I'm giving O Riordan 1/10 in the POTM. and that's generous.

this is rovers under venkys,if they had made logical and sensible decisions we would`nt have been in the mess we have been for 15 seasons

[Cherry Blue]

Sorry but for me it's players not giving 100%.

Jackson's words " A game of nothing won by the team that were braver".

We  play nobbers at home shortly. A performance lack this will see them send us on our way to league 1. Too late for a new manager imo.

Uncle Jack's era lasted less than a decade. We'll be looking at two decades in the Venky's slaughterhouse.

[Ghost7]

It's the recruitment from Gestede that has us here but the players clearly aren't up for the fight either. They've checked out and no one is taking a game by the scruff of the neck. One of the worse Rovers squads I've ever seen.

Congratulations on that Rudy Gestede!

[chaddyrovers]

Disappointed result today

Along with that utter twunt Pasha.

15 years of that absolute bastard bringing the club down from within. How a serial failure like him can line his pockets year after year and continue to fail upwards I'll never understand.  

Worse than Kean that c*** yet he gets relatively little flak.
