Playing out from back is making me nervous

We are living very dangerously at the back.

Where's Tommy Rowe playing? Where Molyneux normally does or have we changed our shape?

Left wing back instead of Maxwell who is injured I think

Cancelling each other out at the moment. Slugging it out for a draw today?

That shot from Brown was going in. Good save from their keeper.

Even half that. Not much quality in both boxes so far.

Rovers started second half well, still nothing of significance though.

How have we been playing?

0-1 That was coming.
We have never looked liked scoring. Whilever that is the situation, our defence is always going to be vulnerable. Mitch could have done better there.

Do Rovers have the attacking gumption to overcome a good defence? I'm not too sure they do.

If we have any aspirations of getting out of this league next season then we need a new keeper in the summer. He makes a mistake that leads to a goal 1 in every 3 games.

We're just so defensive minded, it's boring at best

Invest in the club the worst thing that can happen is that we scrape thru the play offs, we need a new team near enough with no money

This playing out from the back ALL the time just doesn’t sit well with me. It’s just nerve wracking.

Another late ish goal.

Come on rovers.

Another defeat.
At home.
In front of a decent crowd.
Hurts.

Another borefest, Miller left isolated again I can't see the point in signing lavery as schofield has no intention of trying to play attacking entertaining football

We don’t have the players or manager to get us out of this league. We are an average league 2 side at best with an average league 2 manager. Who believes in his system but it’s not and will not work consistently.

In all my time in following Rovers, I can’t ever recall witnessing us playing at home with a side that was set up with such negative, uninspiring  tactics. We will never get out of this league merely by playing one up front. So frustrating and I feel for those paying decent money to witness such negativity.

We show next to nothing in the final third, for the umpteenth time this season, you would have thought Bradford were behind after the goal the way they attacked, players getting forward, balls into the box. The way we played after their goal was embarrassing, we had absolutely no idea how to put pressure on our opponents, at home, in front of a decent crowd. Simply nowhere near good enough, I would expect even a team at the bottom to have some decent pressure when going behind in a derby at home. We were totally clueless.

The players simply are not good enough, we're in contract talks with players now, in my opinion 2 or 3 should be offered contracts the rest need to go, the obvious issue with that is the owner has pretty much given up on the club and would just replace them with more usless players

To slow, to many poor passes and nothing offered up front. Same old same old then.

Onwards and upwards

The fact that the keeper was MotM and we still lost says it all.

Did we even have a shot on target? I didn’t notice one. Easy day for their keeper I bet he hardly broke a sweat.

And so frustrating to see no change in Rovers when we conceded. No change in pace, urgency, no desire to get back into the game whatsoever. Very disappointing indeed.

We aren’t getting out of the league anytime soon.
