Well, we all called what would happen with those subs. They'll get a couple more now.

Those subs have cost us the game.

He'll have a tough job justifying anything more than £250 to watch this dross.

But he won't 'add value' to the squad with these type of performances - which is the biggest remit of the job apparently.

Agree. Szmodic isn't going to get a move to the prem. Another case if a player being good in the champ but not having the game for the Prem. His age would also go against him. The outlier may be Luton uf they stay up. Unlikely that any current champ clubs would buy him as he'd be expensive at this level and financial climate. He would be a good summer signing for a relegated side however - relatively low wages and likely to score a few. That's the only way he leaves I think.

Point on the road always welcome but christ that was a hard watch.

More possession but created nothing.

Two really poor teams.

They still look like that now.

Wharton just then 🤦🏻‍♂️. Its comedy football.

We've threatened more in 48 secs than the first 45 mins.

92

Collectively the worst set of loanees we've ever had. Take a bow Gregg.

This is a new level of shit 😂

The ball has been completely untroubled by any Rovers player in the opposition half. Awful, awful performance so far. Not convinced we've even put 3 passes together.

Venkys Out

Last night we were shit. Plain and simple. Have to expect a lot more of those performances between now and the end of the season.

Birmingham have been better all over the pitch. Very lucky to only be the one down so far. Worst performance of the season for me and there have been some shockers.

WTF are we doing?

Agree with that bit. Stoke were absolutely wretched that first half. This is a fairer reflection of what our squad can/mainly can't do.

We look awful. New manager bounce gone already.

Especially now they are letting more physicality back into the game.

King Kenny's mantra. Play your football in their half.

If you take 2 similar quality teams, one plays out from the back, one sits deep and counter attacks with pace. I know which one I would back to win 8 times out of 10 and its not the tippy/tappy. I also know which I'd rather watch. That said, I always thought Rovers best performances over the last few years have been when we used a high press.

New manager, cheaper targets.
