Bit like Brereton-Diaz. Both Ohashi and Morishita have clearly got reputations as being lightweight / divers, so refs don't give them anything. Morishita just gets bodied (and pushed) out of things. Ohashi gets absolute lumps kicked out of him though - it's disgraceful really.

The manager is the reason. There's enough talent at CB, he just doesn't set the team up properly.

Midfield has been poor. Everything comes down the wings - we have no control of this game.

Story of our season, sadly. We ship so many soft goals.

Took them three replays (and 5 minutes) to show a good angle of it - but yes I'll concede it did.

Does that ball fully cross the line?!

Get in. That's a bloody brave header from Miller.

Who's taking this corners from the far side? They've been pretty good.

They should have scored that free header their lad had at the back post early doors from the corner. By far the best chance of the game.

Lad gets the shit kicked out of him every week.

I think he's come off the bench recently and provided a nice bit of energy, but yeah he's lost tonight. Tells you what they think about Forshaw and Tavares.

They keep telling me Gudjohnsen is 6'2" - lad hasn't won a header yet in a Rovers shirt.

Ohashi doesn't know what the offside rule is either.

What qualifies as a 'cross'? Referencing that stat they just put up. We've definitely scored from crosses this season.

Devine had to have lost a bet to be sporting that haircut.

Why would I care enough to troll? I post my observations and opinions - if I was looking for validation I definitely wouldn't be posting here!

I'm amazed we don't play Gueye in this formation. We have two poachers upfront. You need to boss midfield if those are your front 2. We need a physical presence.

So are two handed pushes legal now? PNE have pulled out a couple tonight and obviously Derby were disgusting for it.

He is quite good at them, but for some reason we put all of our tall lads at the back post. He can't reach them there.

That was a delicious ball in from Alebiosu - we have to start winning some bloody headers.

Yeah but you're currently paying him - might as well use him.

Unless Cantwell is faking injury (which I don't know if he he would as he seemed to be enjoying his stint at captain) I think he's genuinely injured.

Absolutely zero chance I'll buy their product now.

They're both old school LBs - neither can really get up and down the wing (Ribeiro can do it more than Pickering, but he can't get back if he does) and I'd imagine they're both sub 5'10". Ismael clearly values height at CB. You could probably get away with Pickering or Ribeiro at LCB for a couple of games in a 3, but evidently he doesn't think they're up to it - or yes there's some silly clause that's going to be activated if they play more games. I still don't think Hedges let us down at LCB last game.

Cos he's 5'8" and slow.
