Rovers at the Toon FA Cup 3rd Round: Saturday 5th January 2019 - 5.30pm

Wish we could have signed Reed permanently.

[neophox]

Why did we sign Brereton?? Sorry but offers nothing.

[RevidgeBlue]

Wasn't expecting that when we went two down.

If we can concentrate 2nd period we have half a chance.

Need to sort the back line out, Bennett is playing neither one thing nor another ten yards in front of where he should be if he is playing LB. Leaving Bell horribly exposed when Newcastle come forward and not getting forward or contributing anything worthwhile when we have the ball. I'd move him to RB and Reed who is completely wasted at RB into central midfield I think.

Square pegs into round holes Tony strikes again.

Wasted out wide. Needs to be in the middle.

Instead we spent £7m on BB.....

[neophox]

Would rather see Butterworth second half and Dack if not ill.

[Miller11]

This formation/system is a new one... 

I always moan that too much is expected of our full backs... well, today they seem expected to cover the centre back position, as well as full back and the wing... despite Bennett and Reed seemingly being deployed as wing backs? Don’t think this is gonna take off!

if we switched to a proper flat back 4, I think we will be pretty comfortable. Despite scoring two Newcastle are pretty dire! Only looked dangerous due to this silly system.

why is clive allen calling raya 'raya martin'?

That’s his name weirdly. Get it a lot when the commentators haven’t done any research.

[neophox]

Put Smallwood at centre half Reed in the middle and Nyambe on the right. Sorted.

[SoldierMo]

Actually feel sorry for brereton

Personally think we’ve been the better side all half (even in conceding).

Not saying much. We’ve got a few more gears to go through yet.

[G Somerset Rover]

Lascelles on. He’s a beast in the air so will need to be watched closely.

[Tugay-is-God]

Well I reckon Brereton's been quality

[Proudtobeblue&white]

What's Reed's asking price?

Already injured.

Pump that ball up to Arma. Let's see their defenders run.

Get Arma running at him!

[joey_big_nose]

Missed the start due to brexit vote.. are we really playing a back three with two full backs in it??

[Husky]

Has anybody got Raya's pass percentage to hand?

[Ewood Ace]

Brereton?

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

why isn't that a penalty

Yeah it's not his fault he keeps getting picked.

As he misses a sitter.

Way way way out of his depth.
