Hirst is so f***ing slow to react to passes right to his feet. Twice in a couple of minutes.

Forward, forward, forward, Breretons got it... Pass back, pass back, concede a foul.

And bizarre that Hirst hasn't gone off, he's done literally nothing.

It's not even that high energy and we're struggling.

Hirst and Szmodics have been awful, but Hirst in particular is the biggest passenger on the pitch. We may as well be playing with 10.

Had my flu/covid jabs last night so feeling really foggy, fluey and sore today. Also had a bit of a slap in the face with regards to some work so it's not a good day so far. I can only assume Rovers are going to put the shitty cherry on the cake tonight. Hopefully they prove me wrong and brighten up my day!

The Smod!

However crap we were, which is concerning as JDT is being as stubborn as Mowbray, the referee lost us a point. Bizarre that you wouldn’t wait till the ball stopped moving in that position before blowing the whistle. And can we stop with playing Hirst? He’s clearly nowhere near the quality that we need.

Davies, Frandsen, Dailly *grimaces*

Many Bolton fans regarded Frandsen as their best player. They were outraged, their manager resigned as he didn't want to sell. At the time they claimed it was a sideways move.

Grrrrreat.

On top vs an awful team perhaps. Rovers were terrible in the first half.

Phew.

Or fans to return to the stadium?

Very concerning. Does JDT have a single clue about this league or team yet?

Gallagher looks like that without a lay off.

17 mins of nothing.

Every week since day 1, it must be something he wants them to do.

I've been a supporter of JDT, but I'm now worried that even after a decent break he doesn't seem to be familiar with his players at all, never mind his best team.

Personally I wouldn't play that formation, but answers are above. And I'd choose Adam Wharton over Morton.

When playing against the likes of lowly Millwall at home, you put round pegs in round holes and just play your best team. That's not our best team.

If we're playing that formation, Gallagher should be in the middle, up top. Hedges should be the wide forward in place of Gallagher. Brittain should be where Dolan is. It's bonkers that Dolan has gone from being the central front man to a wing back. Especially when you consider Brittain is on the bench.

Dolan and Gallagher on the same flank? I fecking hope not or that side of the pitch is going to get pummeled. Not a fan of this set up, it's like Mowbray is back in town. No midfield, no width, nothing up front.

Want the cash. "Need" the cash is a bit strong considering that Venkys squander money.

With the shambles that Mowbray left behind and JDT's late appointment I'd give him more than this season*. Same with Gregg Broughton, though the club should have supported JDT better in the transfer window. We were a forward and fullback short but we'll see what happens in January. *With the obvious exception of if we end up flirting with relegation.
