Slightly surprised at that but no change to the approach. Wonder if Ennis has got a slight knock.

Maybe just that Sterling is the best of 2 good players   as I said in January he has 2 minutes Champions League Experience :scarf:

Should come in handy if we ever play Leeds again, them being champions of Europe etc.

Rotherham fouling persistently to stop Rovers momentum. Ref needs to be strong. Copps getting hit every time.

We're getting massively out powered all over the pitch. They are a foot taller than us everywhere. Every set piece/corner we look vulnerable.

Every set piece has gone into the same area, we've been naive not to notice that and it's cost us with the goal

Really? It’s hard to play when you’re gettign clattered every time. f**king ref took 43 minutes to finally book one.

We’ve been the more inventive and progressive team imho.

Ref has been very weak.

Physically owned.

The front 4 are not giving us anything.

Theres being physically owned then theres fouling to break up play and plenty of off the ball fouls

Agreed with the front not working why is ennis not starting ?

What a shocking first half, no excuse for a performance like that, especially against a local rival
Title: Re: Rovers v Rotherham

Sterling looks terrified. Get him off
Title: Re: Rovers v Rotherham
Post by: les@donr on September 07, 2019, 01:27:11 pm
Sadlier needs to come on to bring some much needed inventiveness up front.
Title: Re: Rovers v Rotherham
Post by: ScillyRover on September 07, 2019, 01:27:32 pm
Rovrum much quicker on the ball, creating space and far more aggressive. We’ve offered nothing up front and relying on the long ball and hoping for someone to run on to it. Giving silly fouls away too allowing them to lob it in the box to their tall guys. Need to get on the ball more second half and create space for each other.
Title: Re: Rovers v Rotherham
Post by: PDX_Rover on September 07, 2019, 01:29:09 pm
I must be watching a different game because I thought Rovers looked bright for the first half hour. Rotherham have come to kick and spoil and not try to play football. Taylor has been ineffective though. Every time we’ve run at them they’ve simply hacked our lads down.

Second half I expect us to step it up a gear or two.

Poxy goal - never a free kick and was it offside? Not that it matters but anyway...

We were never totally battered or absolute garbage in this game mate.
There wasn’t much between the teams in the first half in truth, apart from a flukey goal.
Second half we were immense.
