The few times we've gone forward we've been trying outlandish passing instead of keeping it simple. Every time. Similar to defending, instead of getting the ball away we've tried to pass our way out of trouble.

Edun coming on for Brereton 😩

We're missing Wharton. We need rid of Pickering. Vale should never ever start. We need another goalscorer. No idea what to do with that midfield.

All the players are asleep, when a ball is passed it takes them a moment to react to it. Has someone spiked them pre-match?

He's got his work cut out, we've been absolutely diabolical.

3-0 now

Just a bit worrying about the manner it's happened. Reading probably won't play this well again, and let's hope Rovers don't play this badly again.

Hedges, ffs. What a bad pass. Making it really easy for them.

Brereton skied it. Best chance.

Still, a Paul Ince team is mullering us.

This is f****** dire.

Penalty not given, so obvious too.

Blimey we've had a shot.

Passing it out at the back, again and again.

Yep no pressing, no movement, trying to pass it about at the back and losing it. The few times it has been in Reading's half, Vale and Dolan have looked like strangers to the game. BBD looks more Brereton than Diaz. As someone else said, only Ayala came out of that half blameless.

That was a reflection of the worst of Mowbray in 45 minutes. Please don't take me back!

Too many passengers, we were pushing things by having players like Pickering as a first teamer and Wharton out, but to also have Vale and Dolan on. Smodics looks like he's never seen a football before. Buckley looks like he's been on the piss.

Mowbray's definitely lost this team.

Blimey Pickering is a bad fullback.

There's no outlet though.

Needed changes 40 minutes ago.

Was never going to happen with Vale and Dolan up front. I hope JDT has learned his lesson.

Very naive of JDT but part of the problem is the squad.

Smodics so poor losing the ball then. Wtf has happened to the team, they all look stoned.

This is really poor from Rovers. Passing it out of defence and continuously losing it. The deficiencies in the team are for all to see tonight.
