Copp’s frustration with our lack of basic football intelligence is obvious

A lone striker at home. Dear me, what have we become. The forward play just disintegrates when we get two thirds up the pitch.

Very little idea for attacking from Rovers, Accrington relying on high balls and being able to head the ball in. Poor game.

Some great comments from Copps
Title: Re: Rovers V Who Are They?
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 22, 2022, 08:32:27 pm
At Sunderland they played 4 minutes and are still not playing having had an "injury break", don't know what ids going on there but it doesn't look good.

Copps talking a lot of sense.not a lot of leadership,on the pitch

Pretty dreadful half. Feeling a bit for young Reo leading the line for us on his own in a relegation dogfight. Not what you want. Still think we can get something but we've got to stop giving throw-ins and corners away so easily.

Not entirely sure I should comment on that 1st half as I may get abuse from some posters on here.

But that was pure shite.

Needs to be a lot better this second half ,they are their for the taking we just need to get the ball down and plat it to feet ,my neck is hurting and I'm watching it on the Tele
Title: Re: Rovers V Who Are They?
Post by: ScillyRover on February 22, 2022, 08:44:23 pm
It’s a shame Copps didn’t want to go into management (got more sense ?). It would have been interesting to see what he could have achieved. But would he be too much of a ‘nice guy’ to succeed?
Guess we’ll never know.
Title: Re: Rovers V Who Are They?
Post by: Silkscarf on February 22, 2022, 08:44:43 pm
Nope I can't think of anything positive to say except it's still 0-0. They had the better of it and Mitchell kept us in it.

We have nothing down the wings and nothing anywhere in the final third. Peno from Gardner or a shot from distance it is then.
Title: Re: Rovers V Who Are They?
Post by: rover-n-out on February 22, 2022, 08:46:16 pm
We started with a fairly high line, but have retreated as the half wore on. These high balls up to a lone Griffiths are no use at all with Nottingham and his mate dealing with them with no problem at all. They certainly like to hoof it up into our box, and unless we get further upfield, get the ball down and play some footy, the inevitable will happen. We're just not big enough collectively to deal with that aeriel bombardment.

At Sunderland they played 4 minutes and are still not playing having had an "injury break", don't know what ids going on there but it doesn't look good.

That game didn’t finish until half past ten.
