Tonight’s team
COYR
-
TJJ in and it would look a good team. With Fej in we are going to struggle (again) I fear!
-
I would have started JJ and where is Madger has he had a set back.
-
Why no Gomez?
-
Could be all sorts of reasons - minor injury in training, ill, etc.. we will find out soon enough..
As for Fej starting, let’s see how he plays tonight before writing him off for the game shall we.?
-
Seen somewhere Madger has been to the dentist and I’d rather start with Feji than JJ as JJ looked beyond rusty when he came on against Carlisle
COYR
-
I would love Fej to shove a goal down a few necks tonight.
-
got to pass it to him first
-
It's a team game and they're all capable of scoring. I don't care who scores on the night as long as the lads play well!
COYR.
-
He’s got to anticipate that theirs a pass coming first but if he scores then good for him.
-

COYR.
Yep, me too Baz but the stick that has been given to Fej has be been over the top.
-
Come on you reds... :scarf:
-
I would love Fej to shove a goal down a few necks tonight.
My neck included Hound.
Actually I’d be happy to see an all-round improvement in his general performance regardless of whether he scores tonight.
-
Is it just me or does the pitch look massive? Shame Taylor’s not there to stretch his legs...
-
First shot of the game by Fej deflected for a corner..
-
Ifollow plays on my phone, completely black screen on my TV? Wtf...
-
3 fouls by Josh Magennis already, not long before a yellow card for him.
-
Best chance of the game so far falls to Hull, a volley shanked wide from a few years out. Smith been careless in possession on a couple of occasions so far.
-
Magennis is a dirty t**t.
-
Ifollow plays on my phone, completely black screen on my TV? Wtf...
Always been the same with me. Plus this evening the pic is very blurred
-
Try logging out and back in again.
-
Been an entertaining start.
-
Pitch terrible. High bounce and very bobbly.
-
Posh 2 down to the wombles
Ha ha Ha
-
We've been horrendous in possession so far.
-
Good game this.
-
Lumly’s kicking leaving a lot to be desired so far
-
Lumley is far too casual for my liking. Passed straight to a Hull player 30 yards out twice already, he makes me feel like there’s a clanger just around the corner.
-
Was that a foul? Anyway 0-1
-
b*llocks.
-
How in the hell was that a foul!?
-
1-0 down, Magennis.
-
It’s been coming. We started really well but fell back into our usual bad habits of passing around our back line and being very poor in possession.
-
0-1 no stopping that..
Was a dodgy free kick I thought..
On another matter ifollow is working perfectly for me.
-
Damn!
-
Needless foul to give away leads to a Dull goal. We need to be far more precise with our passing to get on top of these.
-
Silly foul to give away but plenty of time left
-
Ref in a good position but didn't look like a foul.
-
Wright got sucked in there by Wilks.
Silly place to give away that free kick.
Ah well, behind yet again.
-
Well done wright....Hull will love you your ability to not give a shit who you foul.....
-
WE go behind again
Need to get back all square quickly
-
Disappointing to go behind to a soft free kick.
Big challenge now.
-
Needless foul to give away leads to a Dull goal. We need to be far more precise with our passing to get on top of these.
Needless intervention by the ref - wasn’t a foul..
-
Thought it was soft but no complaints. Stupid from Wright really. We’ll never put a consistent run together and climb the table if we keep on giving teams a head start.
-
Ref looks to be a bit spineless
-
How can it be stupid by Wright if the ref has “bought” the Hull player’s reaction.?
-

Looked a foul all day long to me.
-
Have to agree to disagree..
-
Hull players going down like straw men. Halliday booked for f**k all.
-

Always been the same with me. Plus this evening the pic is very blurred
it works fine on my tablet, but freezes as soon as I try to cast screen to my TV. As if it knows its been cast? What a crock of.......
-
Had a look the other day what we were like in both 45s. In the first half we average 1.42 PPG which is midtable. In the second half we average 1.82 PPG which is comfortably play-offs.
-
passing is atrocious today
-
Under the cosh...?
-
The amount of times we have given possession away cheaply this half whilst under no pressure is laughable.
-
Quite a few slagging Fej, I don’t think people appreciate how hard it is to play as a lone striker against two quite often three centre halves. With two strikers you can run into the channels, with one striker it’s too easy for the defence to cover the ball into the channels, so you spend most of the game with your back to goal, trying to receive a bouncing ball while a 6’3 lump clatters you in the back.
-
Not looking good so far. They need to get into them more and sort the passing. Wills has bulked out has he not?
-
How can it be stupid by Wright if the ref has “bought” the Hull player’s reaction.?
Not sure if that’s aimed at me but it’s stupid because Wright went through the back of Wilks, it was soft as it wasn’t a hefty challenge but it was still a foul. Or at least that’s how it looked to me when I saw it.
-
Again, agree to disagree as I don’t think it was a foul..
-
Some of these players would struggle to pass wind. Hopefully we’ll get another second half turnaround as we’ve been completely dominated since the goal.

But, many can cope with one striker and it is his job. If he can't do it the manager brought in the wrong man for his team. He sometimes can be good but I'm not sure we use him effective. Too much high stuff to him.
-
Fej has done nowt to warrant any criticism yet tonight.?
-
James and John
Simply not good enough
-
I’ve seen better passing on Cantley Park on a Sunday morning.
-
Fej has done nowt to warrant any criticism yet tonight.?
He needs to be stronger and hold the ball up, without him doing that we’ve got no chance
-
James and John
Simply not good enough
WTF.? Why are you picking on them.? We are second best as a team but those two haven’t let us down - if you think they have, please explain how.???
We are up against a good side - neither of them have done much wrong.??
-
Big improvement needed 2nd half
-
Fej has done nowt to warrant any criticism yet tonight.?

No chance.? The other 10 players don’t do owt for the cause then.?
-
Big improvement needed 2nd half
Another Blackpool match, eh?
-
Positives - we are only 1 nil down
-
2nd half resurgence incoming.....
-
Very one sided first half. Hull look very strong
-
What changes would you make?
-
Big improvement needed 2nd half
Another Blackpool match, eh?
Yes and no - we’re second best but it’s 0-1.. plenty of time to turn things round..
Do we like to lull the opposition into a false sense of security.?
-
James and John
Simply not good enough
WTF.?
We are up against a good side - neither of them have done much wrong.??
They’ve given the ball away almost every time they’ve had it.
That’s simply not good enough
To be fair if we were 9-0 down I’m pretty sure you’d be telling us all we’ve played well
-
I am utterly embarrassed by this amateurish approach to every game or so it seems...passing is woeful,
Players don’t know where to be and this constantly taking the pace out of the game is dangerous..
I’ll say it cos it’s how I see it....when John plays in a left back role we look like a freakin wonky dog ......
-
Poor in possession tonight, looks as though some of the Rovers players having trouble distinguishing Red and White from Gold and Black
COYR
-
We don’t half make things difficult for ourselves, pisspoor passing and no ine can actually collect a ball, another first half where we’ve failed to test the keeper
-
Sick of watching us have no clear plan going forward. I think we've been worked out now and Darren Moore needs to show he can adapt, and change our approach.
We've barely had a shot again. It must be four or five league games on the spin without a meaningful shot on target in the first half. What's it all about?

I think that the point is that Fej is isolated up there with very little support.
The midfielders are often twenty or more yards away from him.
-

No chance.? The other 10 players don’t do owt for the cause then.?
What does that have to do with anything??
If you’re up against a very good side then you need your striker to be able to hold the ball up and keep it away from your goal and give your other midfielders a chance to get up and support
If you’re losing the ball everytime it’s played upto you then you’re just inviting the pressure on as we’ve seen throughout this half
-
I’m not down-hearted, we’re still very much in this game.
We’re behind to a soft set-piece but we’ve shown already this season that we can come from behind and win.
We have the talent in mid-field to create chances and score goals.
Come on you reds!!
-
Fej needs more support, Taylor Richards is being forced to play far to deep, we need to try push the defence up a few yards but think we’re worried about wilks pace
-
Big improvement needed second half.
Another 1st half with no shot on target.
-
Don't know which is worse
The ifollow feed or Rovers
Hope they both improve second half
-
Just a catalogue of unforced errors. The pitch ain't great but we're our own worst enemy making it alot easier for Hull, plus a helping hand from the ref.
Wilks goes down with the slightest touch again and gets Halliday booked for doing very little.
We are capable of much better and wouldn't take much to get back into the game.
-
Very one sided first half. Hull look very strong
Possession 53% : 47% to Hull

I agree with you hound, he is isolated and that’s down to Moore.
But when it is played upto him he’s got to show more aggression to try and keep hold of the ball
-
I might just start tuning in for the second half, that was another very poor first half. We are absolutely dreadful to watch starting games at the moment. I’d say we’re lucky to have scored nil!
-

John has made several clearances from dangerous positions.
I will always defend players if they give their best, or if they are being unnecessarily made scapegoats..
Hull are top of the league for a reason. Yes we need to up our game second half, but we have done that before..
So what if I look for positives.? You always only seem to look for negatives.. maybe you should switch allegiances to Peterborough..
-
Very one sided first half. Hull look very strong
Possession 53% : 47% to Hull
Our possession though is between our centre halves and our goalie

I have to agree with that RA.

-

We use to cheer him when he did that for us
COYR
-
im not so sure Hull have got out of first gear, we are not playing well at the moment. It was noticeable that Whiteman was playing almost as a centre back in the first 15 mins, and we controlled the game better, he then went wandering up the pitch and we lost that control. The defenders do see the pass, but are too scared, or to slow to make it so we end up with a to you, to me situation between the defence, then back to the keeper.
Passing and control form all players has been the worst I have seen for some time, and Hull are not in their faces, so it is not their pressure.

That’s a very lazy response
Wouldn't take you long to realise most of my posts aren’t negative
But if we’re not playing well there’s no reason to try and pretend that we are
-
Guaranteed that Halliday will get a red this half. I hope I’m wrong
-
What is the matter with our strategy for the first half of games? We seem to think that teams will lay down and allow Rovers to play pretty football building slowly with us taking a chance occasionally. It is going to take a DM boost at half time to wake players up again if Rovers get anything out of this game. That shouldn't have to happen, we should be taking the game to teams like Hull with pace and putting them on a back foot. There seems to be too much respect given to all teams who play us.

Problem is, how many games do we keep saying “it’s the worst passing I’ve seen” “worst we’ve been for ages” etc.
Or, it could just be against the better sides we just aren’t good enough at times and just need to accept we’ll be up against it? Yes we’ve beat some of them I know, but let’s not be too harsh on the team and manager. We are still a developing side
-
Is it possible to just buy one half of any future matches, because I am feeling very short changed again!!
If this team is a prospective top ten team.......my tools a tangerine.....
Now let the bollockin reap some kind of reward

No mention of the booking on BBC?
-
Hull look a good side, probably as good as I’ve seen this season. Way better than Sunderland. But they’re not making us look poor, we are doing that all by ourselves.
-
Our most influential player(whiteman) playing as a third center back, get up the pitch
-
surprised to see passing accuracy same as hull on the stats!
-

I think he is a good tactician and has shown it before, but he seems committed to a certain way of approaching games even if the personnel aren't right or we're struggling to get it going.
-
Doesn't help that near the end. The Hull keeper passed it out. No one was on the halF aside from fey.. 10 men defending in our own half, and we wonder why we are under the cosh, the exact opposite of the high press. Which is something they did superbly versus Ipswich not that long ago, is it jon Taylors influence that drags others around him to put a shift in?
-
I think the problem is we have seen just hoe good they can be, then the form dropped off the edge of a cliff, no gradual decline

I never said we were playing well - I just don’t like your over criticism of certain players..
And yes, you do often come over on here as overly negative and you’re not the only one..
-
We've made them look good. All our players have made errors passing the ball, so we haven't got up the pitch enough. We've got to force them into the same errors, which they will make.
-
surprised to see passing accuracy same as hull on the stats!
Again more than half of that will be between our CB’s and GK. We have less than 50% passing accuracy in the final 3rd.
-
No 27 is in the refs ear all the time
-
No 27 is in the refs ear all the time
Sounds like Blackpool’s Gary Madine, eh?
-
Cameron John has the most awkward passing style I have ever seen, I thought Joe wright was painful to watch at times, but I panic every time John passes it back.
-
Wow I think we got away with that one, how is that a dive?!
-
Is it a lack of creativity or poor decision making? We have a habit of passing it backwards when in decent positions. Prime example in the first half - we had a free kick deep into their half. We pushed players forward then whiteman played a square ball which then went backwards back into our own half. It’s like watching David Batty
-
Wow I think we got away with that one, how is that a dive?!
Blatant dive for me, the slow motion replay really showed it.
Wilks made a right meal of it and was always looking to go down there.
-

Hull didn’t complain..

Didn’t catch the replay but will be interesting to see it again. It looked to me like he’d knocked it past Lumley, who got nowhere near the ball and pulled him down. Happy the ref saw it the same way as you though!
-
How long before DM makes changes.?
-
The replay showed it was a dive. Was worried initially though. Good refereeing.
-
Richards passing is very poor. Imo

I won’t find many on here will I.?
-
2/3 of the game gone, no shots on goal.
-
Got a feeling we're going to nick one here......
-
Richards passing is very poor. Imo
I agree he’s not had a great game - off for Copps in a reverse of the Blackpool game..
-
That would be nice.
-
JJ on for Smith..
-
JJ & Copps on for Smith & Richards. It’s either going to be a master stroke or leave us overrun in central midfield...
-
65 minutes:
Hull
Shots 14
On target 2
Us
Shots 3
On target 0
-
Two changes we needed to make, happy with those.
-
Takes smith off and put James into the middle of the park
Makes zero sense
-
Smith also had a shocker tonight. Can’t remember him completing a single pass
-
2/3 of the game gone, no shots on goal.
And yet they have 2 out of 14. Thank god we haven't got their strkers.
-
Got a feeling we're going to nick one here......
Another Sunderland?
-
Takes smith off and put James into the middle of the park
Makes zero sense
And you would have changed things how.?
-

Smith has been poor, really struggled in that central position tonight. Moore felt he had to do something and he hasn't got a lot of options in that position.

It would be a change to see us put two up front, JJ and Fej.

Coppinger on for John
James to left back
Play players in their correct positions might give us half a chance
-
man of the match might be a tough one. -Halliday?
-
Finally, a shot! Off target but at least that's one.
-
And another..
They weren’t the first either, but the first for some time...
-
Why are we shooting from distance when we have closer options?
-
man of the match might be a tough one. -Halliday?
Anderson.? So far anyway..
-
Too many square pegs in round holes. We don’t look like a team and we will finish around 11th or 12th this season.
-
To give yassen a bit of a lift....turn off the volume and put some Benny Hill on....it makes more sense to have a bit of a laugh rather than screaming at the players...
We have a fissure in front of us and we are down to our last roll of paper.....
-
Too many square pegs in round holes. We don’t look like a team and we will finish around 11th or 12th this season.
With the players we’ve got (on paper) that would be a poor season. Personally think we’ll end up in the playoffs but hard to back that up tonight
-
We seem to be giving it more of a go but there is a danger of being caught on the break..
-
1:1
-
Might be controversial, but what if Darren Moore is actually a bang average manager and it's only now becoming clear?...
I stand by that thought despite the goal.
-
Get in JJ.!!
-
Get the f**k in!!
-
get the bjbjhbju in!!!!!!
-
Fantastic! Another now lads!!!!!
-
Get in!!!!!!!
-
John Jules scores
-

Your opinion,but I disagree.
-

With the players we’ve got anything less than play offs come the end of season is below par. The way we’re playing it’s reasonable to suggest but results wise we’re probably on course for what we need

Would love to nick this.

Yeah I'd agree with that, it was more posing a question than me outright saying I think he's bang average tbf.
-
Could go either way this one..

2:1

Disagree. Some of the stuff we have played is up there with peak SO’D era for me.
-
b*llocks!!!
-
Arseholes.. keeper makes one mistake and it’s a goal..
-
Shocking
-
Lumley should be holding that. Cameron John should also cover just in case. FFS.
-
f**k up from Lumley. Called it that he had a clanger in him, thought it would be more to do with his kicking rather than that though.
-
Howler from Lumley. God we miss Seny!
-
Shocking goalkeeping.
-
Lumley should be holding that. Cameron John should also cover just on case. FFS.
No one else’s fault apart from the GK

Agree but John should provide cover just in case. Eaves reacted.
-
Might be controversial, but what if Darren Moore is actually a bang average manager and it's only now becoming clear?...
I stand by that thought despite the goal.
Disagree. Some of the stuff we have played is up there with peak SO’D era for me.
Are you serious? What are you on?

There shouldn't be anything to react to.

I don’t think anyone can say we were robbed.....having 5 minutes in a 90 minute game does not deserve a win or a draw....
I’m actually quite pleased that justice has been seen to be done, though I hate it when rovers lose.....I hate us sneaking in the back door even more....
-
well , that didn't last long :(
-
John was slow to react but I’m sure he doesn’t expect a football league goalkeeper to make such a basic mistake. In fact a goalkeeper at any standard.
-
Don’t be daft
The best wins are the ones you don’t deserve
We played well for 15-20 mins but not enough over 90 mins
-
Eaves has just done exactly what Fej is incapable of doing. Holding the ball up and winning a free kick

Me? I really don’t care just how badly we play. If we are crap and win, I’ll take that all day long. Winning is what it is all about in football.

Only positive is another point on PvO

Game over. Lost 2-1! :crying:
-
Maybe it is right that Moore is just average.
Maybe Cameron John and Okenabirhie are both bad passers of the ball and neither have decent touches.
Maybe Copps has finally gone.
We might just need to accept were unlikely to get into the play offs.
-
Got what we deserved, sick of us not turning up in the first half, Cameron John guilty of ball watching instead of making sure Eaves doesn’t nip in, having said that it was poor from Lumley
-

Are you on drugs.??

What a load of rubbish. A draw would have been a brilliant result tonight and we almost pulled it off. You always take what you can get away from home. Silly comment
-
We got what we deserved.
-
Better squad won the game, how many of our players would get in their side I would say Whiteman at best. We move on to next game.
-

while fej touch was crap he needs support, Moore needs to try and attack rather than sit back for a hour of the game
-
What a pity. Looked as though we were going to finish the stronger.
Sure that shot took a deflection which Lumley had to adjust for.
Took us too long to adjust but some better second half performances. Cameron John played really well, will some determined defending. I thought Fej looked a bit sharper tonight and good goal from JJ too.
Disappointing as I thought we could go on and win that.
We live and learn and we move on!
-

Can’t disagree with you there.. second best most of the game. Started to look more of a threat before and after our goal, but a bad mistake cost us in the end.
Can’t complain about the result. Need to put that one to bed and up our game for the next match..
-
Don't really know what to say because I don't know where the problem lies, but we seem to be playing with the handbrake on pretty much every week, and people don't seem to know their roles even as well as the start of last season when DM had just arrived.
Is it the tactics? Players? Squad not as good as we think?
Not sure but something is holding us back because I would say we have players on paper that are capable of competing.
-
Can't complain with the result, we were poor, somethings not right with the team at the moment. The only positive I can find is that we will get that form back eventually, but my early season optimism that we would walk the league has gone.
This is a team more than capable of the top 6 though.
Hull are a decent side, but nothing to have great fears over

Perhaps we should start with both Fej and JJ together.?

What? Only 14 games into the season and you’ve written it off? :facepalm:
-
Feji was a different player when he had John jules up with him.
As a team we looked much better with both of them up there
Moore’s got to start them both on sat
-
Long way to go and injuries have not helped but we are going backwards performance wise at the min. I feel were a million miles away from a playoff place at the min
-
Some right drama queens on here..... we lost to the top team - it's not the end of the world....
-
Without Gomes and Taylor on the bench our squad is not strong enough. To compete and beat Hull. We are relying on young lads who can have good games. Hull played a different 10 players on Saturday, we couldn’t do that. The amount of games we have we need some more players in January. Any way we move on. But players are looking tired.
-
I don’t think the issue is tonight’s result, it’s the poor performances over the last few weeks that are worrying
-
Got what we deserved tonight, nothing. We have players that have a worse first touch than Sunday morning players, & passing to boot. We are bang average & it showed tonight. The only reason we are hanging on in games is due to the centre halves who keep us in games. The times we lose the ball due to misplaced simple passes is ridiculous.
-
..I hate us sneaking in the back door even more....
Are you on drugs.??
No, just think we play crap
Having a team that looks to struggle week in week out then nick a result is NOT my idea of being considered a contender for promotion....the teams that destroy others are those that can cope at a higher level....this team looks wonky!
I’m sure everyone can see how we are relying more on oodles of luck rather than skill and dominance......
We will not make the top 6 ..... our luck at staying IN games is running out
-
We need more players hitting consistent good form.. Richards was excellent second half vs Blackpool yet ineffective tonight..
Not getting into the opposition’s final third often enough ends up putting pressure on our back line and ultimately more chances to the opposition..

Go watch Man City then if you want to follow that sort of team..

Agree but... given recent goals...

It might have escaped you ....but our performances are in freefall!
Yes we are getting results that flatter our performance, but we are pretty much second best in most games at the moment....
Nobody wants the team to lose , but it’s very hard to get enthusiastic watching these performances , I have not felt confident of winning any of our recent games .....but I have hoped we don’t get beat....and in that I think we have delivered....
Lots of games coming up and we are just not learning to the overcome our problems...
I’m really not sure there are that many on here that believe we are realistically a top 6 team....
-
Just a catalogue of unforced errors. The pitch ain't great but we're our own worst enemy making it alot easier for Hull, plus a helping hand from the ref.
Wilks goes down with the slightest touch again and gets Halliday booked for doing very little.
We are capable of much better and wouldn't take much to get back into the game.
No mention of the booking on BBC?
He was booked.
Mainly because the Hull players pressurised the ref to do it.

Im a rovers fan.....just not delusional
Hence I don’t really get pi##ed off when we lose a game I expect us to lose based upon what I’m watching....what I don’t do is exaggerate our performances and try to explain away crap....
Personally I see us as a lower mid table team that lacks the consistency to make the top 6 , but the performances are getting worse and until that changes I’m sure my opinion won’t...
-
Charlton are losing at home to lowly MK dons...... their fans must be apoplectic
-
Finally, a shot! Off target but at least that's one.
I can remember a shot by Fej in the first half that hit a defender and went for a corner so those shooting stats must be wrong.

They don't get counted as "shots" if they're blocked, I remember seeing on here once. Ludicrous if true.

It is true and it was me who posted it.
However I was just pointing out that we had not gone as far into the match without having a shot at goal as was being suggested.

Tonight's stats show we had 6 shots. Hull had 23. Nuff said.
