Joes goal aside, no rovers shot on goal this half.
So much wrong with this side.
Hit and hope.
No bite to them at all.
Olowu is a liability.
Biggins out of his depth.
Close very absent.
Faals first touch is woeful.

Cannot disagree with any single one of those points NR.

The defenders take most of the blame but when they do stop them and clear the ball it comes straight back because the midfield cant string anything together or take control and the ball is just bouncing off the strikers.
Nobody with any pace to run it out  our worry bradford in behind them

Awful half that. We cannot pass we cannot keep possession we cannot tackle we cannot defend.
No better than Saturday. The only different is we scored a fluke goal due to their GK making a mistake.

We’re in serious trouble.

We really are a poor side, constantly attempting to stop opponents doing whatever they wish, whilst being unable to string passes together or create chances. The effort is there, but any kind of putting together patterns of play is completely beyond us. Time after time opponents have an easy ride against us. This is mainly down to injuries obviously, but we really need to improve the squad in January.

The least worst of two shite teams winning. We're going nowhere with these centre halves.

I do wonder if gm has intimated which players are going in Jan. Because it doesn’t seem many of them are playing to any sort of style, let alone that of GM.

Men against boys, we look a foot shorter and a few stone lighter, everywhere on the pitch.

Their first goal is just plain criminal for us, Anderson should of been defending that ball like his life depended on it, for a big man he's just too slow and weak,

Second goal we have three defenders allowing Cook to turn with the ball and slot Tyler in, just rank poor, weak and totally ineffective defending.

We never make teams work for their goals

Biggins may as well come and sit up here with us.

Massive half this now for the rest of our season, muller this and we are looking very much over our weak shoulders.

I’ve collected my tickets tonight for Notts county, Mansfield and Harrogate. I hope they show more effort in those games and get stuck in a bit

I wouldn't hold out much hope for you. It just shows how much Rovers were relying on Westbrooke.

Lets get some bloody pace in this team, mo wins a ball and turns 30yds out, should be a dangerous situation but no speed by anyone. Has to turn back and take a foul

Time for Grant to put his hand up and accept responsibility.
We have no shape/formation and just playing hoofball. That is down to the manager.
What happened to the high press ,attractive football?

Please take Faal off, give one of our own a chance, absolute joke of an effort from Faal.

2 rovers players stood over a free kick in a dangerous position. Why?
It’s just a waste of a player who could be in the mix.
Basics.

8 goals conceded at home in 2 games.
Very very poor all round.

"3-1, game over!" the commentator says, I think that was the case at kick off, anybody care to give a prediction of the score against Notts County? I would put 6-0 on it.

Including corners, we’ve been doing that all season. About time it was changed.

The body language of the rovers players is awful. Hands on hips, heads down. Not one of them showing leadership despite getting beat again.
No character.
No leaders.
No idea.
19th in lge 2.
Without Sutton and FGR we would be in deep deep trouble. Third worst gd in the lge.
TB had better get his very big cheque book out this Jan.

They are out of form, so 3 or 4-0 is more likely.

Things like that throw in are probably why.

Overall a pathetic performance from the lot of them.

It’s been piss easy for Bradford. They won’t have a more comfortable game during the rest of the season.

Time for Grant to put his hand up and accept responsibility.
We have no shape/formation and just playing hoofball. That is down to the manager.
What happened to the high press ,attractive football?
No!!!!
The players are shite
Close attempts corner (pathetic effort)and 30 seconds later it’s in our net.
Grant needs to get rid of 8 or 9 useless gets, because for the last 3 years the players who are still here are continually awful. I’ll start the list Close,Biggins, Rowe, Anderson,Olowu,one keeper  ( they’re both identical), Taylor, wood,

You can't just get rid of players, much as we might like to.

We were making progress but all of a sudden we've become the team from the past two seasons!
Where does the next point come from?
Even a 'proper' manager can't get a tune out of this bunch, big big January window coming up.
