We just don’t seem to have any urgency.
Far too much fannying about at the back and playing back to the keeper, who then takes too long moving it again.
We need to get Copps on now while he has time to influence the game.

No movement whatsoever
And our only striker can’t keep hold of it at all,

I gotta turn this shite off.....it’s pathetic...

I could have sworn we have had a rest weekend, yet look apathetic beyond belief....

John is not a left back and DM has sacrificed balance for preferential treatment....that is very obvious!
The so called “ best centre backs “ in the division are woefully inadequate at playing the ball on the floor....

To be honest I just think Sunderland are a lot better team than us unfortunately. I don’t think you can slag Rovers, it’s just their players are bigger, faster and better. Whiteman is our best player this season by far but Leadbitter is just a class above.

Spot on.

There’s not much movement ahead of him and I don’t want to be too critical given he’s just arrived and had a decent game but Lumley must have had the ball at his feet for a combined total of a couple of minutes. Far too casual, does he not realise we are losing?

Why are we obsessed with passing everything back to the keeper? I suppose we should be grateful it is to one of our players.

Have you seen the lack of movement ahead of him? Our midfield has offered nothing. What do you want him to do, just boot it and hope for the best?

It's like they don't know they are losing

He's probably wondering why we keep passing it to him. Never seen the goalie have so much of the ball in a game for us.

I suppose it gets our passing stats up.

To be honest we just cannot cope with how Sunderland have pressed us, and we have looked scared

I started my post by saying “I know there’s not much movement ahead of him”. So yes, I have obviously seen it. He should be barking at them to pull their finger out rather than just rolling the ball a yard ahead and a yard behind.

Some drama queens on here, we’re playing a better team, Rovers’ are trying but Sunderland are trying and have better players. Very fickle!

They did exactly the same in the game last season. Unfortunately we haven’t learnt from our mistakes

Not sure what shape we are playing, but we seem short of possession...

38:62% possession to Sunderland...according to the BBC website.

Now 47% : 53%.

It doesn't matter who you are playing if you can't manage to pass the ball to your own team members. Stop making excuses for them. Only one word for us today. Embarrassing.

Please tell me what Rovers have done well. It's alright saying we've lost to a better team (if we do lose) and Sunderland have been decent and organised but Rovers have had no forward momentum all game, the midfield hasn't shown enough movement or urgency. Okenabirhie has been next to useless. We haven't remotely tested their keeper.

I'm sure it's just an off day, I'm not panicking but I am very disappointed because we are playing far, far below out usual level.

Just what has happened since those lovely wins against Ipswich and Pompey?

Metalmicky · « **Reply #111 on** November 21, 2020, 04:44:37 pm by Metalmicky »

Portsmouth are four nil up, but only 29% possession at home. That’s a crazy stat.

Matthews will be able to return his gloves in the pack as unused

Our passing today has been dreadful.

We are being outfought and out worked apart from any difference in ability.

88th minute
1-0 down at home and we’re passing it about on the edge of our own box
It’s pathetic

EasyforDennis · « **Reply #116 on** November 21, 2020, 04:46:55 pm by EasyforDennis »

Well this is really going to get the fans back to the KMS when we are allowed.

PDX_Rover · « **Reply #117 on** November 21, 2020, 04:46:59 pm by PDX_Rover »

Sunderland are strong, well drilled but unspectacular. We have been closed down and not allowed to play. Sometimes you just have to give props to the other team. They completely nullified us all over the pitch. A wonder strike won it.

The challenge for Darren what do we need to unlock teams like this.
