Hasn’t been a success, I thought he looked good early on but I just don’t think he is that great. He might develop but not at our standard at the moment never mind liverpool. Still he tried so all the best to the lad and quick recovery , I just don’t want him back in a rovers shirt

Not that I’m a massive hedges fan but what exactly has Thomas done to support this view? I was expecting a lot more than what we have seen. Stay away is my thoughts

Wouldn’t sell him and think it would be a mistake for him to leave, should be number 1 pick in the team next year and let us build whole team around him , he is that good

No room for sentiment in football chaddy, pears has been ok, as others have said, has he been outstanding? I don’t recall amazing match winning saves, we needed a few of them. I just look at the Coventry goal and would feel more confident in kaminski dealing with it than pears , he doesn’t like crosses dropped in near him. I don’t want the passing round the back anyway so that can go. if you want to have the best chance of winning you play your best players , kaminski is the better keeper. I think it’s been a mistake keeping pears in this long. He reminds me of Jason Steele , can look ok , not spectacular but you just feel there is a mistake waiting

No point bemoaning luck imo, we shouldn’t have to be relying on it, had more than enough games to get ourselves well above where we are now. And we made our own damn mistakes too, hedges at Preston for example. I don’t know why we aren’t playing our best keeper. It’s harsh but we need to learn from this, manager needs to learn from this. next season , call me crazy but if reading go down id take joao back and an up and coming youngster from the premier, Tom cannon for one. we need bit more experienced heads in the squad and a bit more bite. We need some more creativity left and right. probably need a new cb too, carter is fine for a sub, Ayala isn’t fit, wharton needs loaned out and possibly sold. I would suggest matty pollock from Watford would be a good fit with hyam

Doing ok here

Ahh my warnings about hedges are coming home to roost

I was working at it , clarkson is never a champ standard midfielder but he will have a semi decent career in Scotland or league 1

Hedges should surely go more central when he is running down on goal, showed the beeper what he was doing, criminal to put it right into his gloves. or like others have said, piss about with it in the corner , keep the ball. Tbf the picture of him at the whistle looked like he knew

Away, lad was a rock , absolutely no blame on hyam

I’d say Adam wharton is. Really liked to see him berate travis for losing his man and him having to step in to save his error. travis doesn’t keep his shirt next season

Team has some good young players that we need to build around, Adam wharton is incredible, but there is a lot that needs shifted and cleared before we can really have a good go at promotion, if this management breeds negative thoughts and tactics it needs to go as well. I don’t think there is a team quite like this, it’s a form of torture supporting this team even when we won the title in 95 we conceded a last minute loser on the day

Hyam was brilliant, no blame whatsoever for the goal. Hedges should give him a free hit

Win and we were in imo, draw and we are out, it’s that close

Just F off, absolutely fuming,,,, again!!!! hedges I said you were shit, absolute bellend jdt not good enough, walk , no bottle whatsoever

Too deep, I don’t like this one bit

Need dack in for his composure, we get near the goal and fall to pieces , panic panic panic

Hedges is 75% a footballer

I wish he hadn’t handled it, looked a really hard ball to clear for the Preston defender

Cmon szmodics

Why do we never put pace on our passes, always underhit

Get brittain on rb and push jrc to rw, get sorba onto the left , if dack has a half in him get him on for szmodics and bbd up top for Dolan. We have no presence up top and it showed by never looking like scoring there

We were poor that half, time for Jdt to prove he has what it takes by making big changes at ht to turn it in our favour

Jesus Dolan, off at ht szmodics has been crap too

Change it change it change it change it
