I hope our midfield get to grips with Williams, or it could be a long afternoon.

I bet GMC puts Taylor on the left.
Hope we don’t get over run in centre midfield as we only have two again.
Molyneux and Tomlin continue to play even they’ve been poor last two games.
Let’s see what happens.
Rowe will spend more time defending than getting forward and if he doesn’t then there will be gaps behind.

We’ve talked about the potential problems of a Clayton, Rowe and Tomlin midfield. Let’s see…

Jesus Christ.. last match folks were complaining Rowe was playing LB with Maxwell on the bench.. now they’ve changed back and folks are still unhappy.?

No play Clayton and Biggins and Rowe in front then leave Molyneux or Tomlin out. The midfield will be stronger but will see today

Confusing they have both a Clayton and a Willaims as well  :blush:

Some of our lads look like they have met each other for the first time. Looking at each other and no one taking charge of the situation.

Swindon are in complete control. They make runs behind, use their wide players, we have done nothing up to now.

This is pretty abysmal. Swindon having an easy time of it with the lack of pace, thought and creativity from us.

Pathetic from Rovers again. The thought processes in this team seem to be that of a slug.

Telling point from Peter Catt just now that the one positive from a Rovers perspective is the scoreline is still nil-nil  :s :s

Personally I think Swindon have passed the ball far far better than us with no cutting edge, they've controlled the half.

We seem to be giving them acres of space. We’re not marking them. We lose the ball to them way too easily. The only reason they haven’t scored is their poor quality, nothing to do with our defending.

Don’t know what has happened to Williams he made mistake after mistake today.

I can’t see us getting promoted out of this league anytime soon sadly.

Their midfield is far superior. Taylor on the left is stupid! Pumping high balls to Miller………again!

Swindon have been the better side without actually creating anything. We look poor. Weve created nothing of note. Booed off at halftime and probably deserved it.
Title: Re: Rovers v Swindon
Post by: Lesonthewest on September 17, 2022, 04:06:28 pm
37% possession, no shots on target at home in league 2. Hopefully improve this half.

No changes at the break, no clue how to improve things then.

They can change tactics without necessarily changing the players.?  See how they respond to a half time bollocking before making subs maybe?
Title: Re: Rovers v Swindon
Post by: steve@dcfd on September 17, 2022, 04:13:13 pm
Put Taylor on the right take Molyneux off put Hurst on the left the Tomlin off and move Rowe forward put Biggins next to Clayton. That would be a start.

Title: Re: Rovers v Swindon
Post by: Barmby Rover on September 17, 2022, 04:45:53 pm
One shot on target all match, none off target. Rovers couldn't make it easier for Swindon. At this rate it could be several months before we score. The forwards are not at fault here, midfield is not giving them a chance to do anything.

Absolutely clueless.
Title: Re: Rovers v Swindon
Post by: steve@dcfd on September 17, 2022, 04:52:58 pm
Of course the game plan isn’t working..
You mean playing the best right sided midfielder we have playing on the left.
Molyneux to cutting in from the right to hit with his left but can’t get and put in a cross and workrate poor. Only playing two central midfield players again and can’t get the ball.
Miller up front and not getting good balls to him.
I go on what was his game plan
Title: Re: Rovers v Swindon

I have no idea what the game plan is, but it’s clearly not working - the score line is proof.

Everything that was bad last season has crept back into the team this season. There was a lack of application and effort. Took to long to get the ball forward, especially from the Mitchell. Needs to improve and quickly

Onwards and upwards
