This Small lad has had a torrid time against Alebiosu.

Forshaw for Montgomery. Gueye for Gudjohnsen.

Or a yard of pace.

Same as the Derby game (although not quite as bad) - push, pull, grabbing shirts. Refs just don't seem fussed by any of it.

Was that another delicious ball in from Morishita? Bad touches by both our CFs tonight.

I don't think he's hyped by any of the coaches - we'd never heard of him as fans until last year. I think they're just desperate for another Academy player to come through / smarting from Wharton's success so they've pinned their hopes on him. He's no better than Duru, Powell, Pratt in terms of being a fringe player that probably needs a chance, but most likely aren't going to make it at this level.

Exactly - I'm talking about the unit, not individual performances. As a 3 they've not done enough.

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.
