Hanlon

[Thorney]

Never really complained about brandon before like many have but.....

I thought when he came on today his body language and performance were abysmal.

Appeared to be sulking and all he added to the game was fouls and offside.

His 1st involvment was being offside and carrying on to smash the ball wide full well knowing he would be carded and didnt even try to be shocked. Then chasing a ball down just decides to barge the defender in the back instead of holdong off and attemptong to put him under pressure.

A very half arsed attempt from him today

Think grant will be very unhappy with that impact today. 

[Barmby Rover]

A donkey, and he will be well down the pecking order if the medical team can keep Frankie fit.

[TonySoprano]

He's an awful player, absolutely clueless.

Its like going down to 10 men when he comes on. He deserves to be nowhere near a professional football pitch.

On the other hand, bradford could bring on paul mullin off the bench who was excellent,  says it all.

Mullin should have been second yellow carded towards the end for kicking the ball away

[StocksArmy]

As much as i agree with what has been said, i am astonished that Maxwell doesnt have a thread. If we offer him a new contract (even if in league 2) then we have completely lost the plot. Never seen a left back so weak and easily beaten in my life. Kicks things out of play, clearences are aimless and has no pace. Injuries have killed the lad but if Senior was fit and Mccann played him because of rotation then he needs his head testing. Broadbent also going backwards at an alarming rate. Basing our squad at league one standard, we have a good 6,7 robbing a living. I fear for us even more if we get an injury to a big player because frankly the player behind him is complete ga$h

Dont think mullin improved them 1 bit. Gave alot of free kicks away.
Looked more like a player who was trying to play for himself rather than the team.
Cannot see him having a great time over there

What’s so good about Mullin exactly?

Maybe, but I dont want this to turn into a mullin thread .

Its about hanlan being awful

[Move DRFC]

Hanlan and Sharp aren’t good enough for League One. You lot are will get upset about Hanlan’s body language but that’s just him. Haks is class but his body language is hardly great is it.

[TonySoprano]

Hopefully okoronkwo is fit for tuesday, and Hanlan is nowhere near the bench.

[jmt23]

Good god - this place really does get embarrassing at times.

Please explain what he could have done in those last minutes, and why he is to blame. Also what the agenda is apart from not being Street.

We paid the price today for others missing good chances not him.

[GazLaz]

The subs made both teams worse.

Your missing the point, we've got zero threat in hanlan coming off the bench.
It has the opposite effect, it weakens us.

Looks like okoronkwo is out for 4 weeks. It never rains it pours.
Might be in trouble now

[Copps is Magic]

Halan will join a growing pyramid of subpar to inadequate forwards we've signed over the last decade.

Reo Griffiths. Rakish Bingham, Kwame Thomas, Aidan Barlow.... how long do you want to go on.

Got to look at the recruitment. Probably a 50/50 between not having a high enough budget for good strikers, and just bad decisions.

[Danmckay456]

Biggest thing rovers need to look at is Lee glovers position at the club come the end of the season and get someone else in.

[Ryaldinhio]

The subs made both teams worse.

They brought Wright on who smashed in the winner

[mpc123]

Unreal response to some players. They are heros if we will and terrible players if we lose.

Its hard to make an impact as a sub, as Mullins showed today.

If Hanlan had shot that Bily shot that got cleared off the line, everuone would be saying he is rubbish.

Its crazy.

Also thought Billy looked nowhere near a 40 year old.

Look at the bottom of the table, the way we are playing we will be OK, always creating chances and hopefukky build and push on next year.

Come on Rovers.

[Rupee92ONLY]

Isn’t he McCann’s man? He isn’t going to want to give away that responsibility and power to a club chosen appointment.

[grayx]

I think Hanlan could well be sulking about being behind Sharp in the pecking order and understandably so in my opinion. He did himself no favours today though. We missed the Everton lad today big time and shows how badly we still need strengthening up front for next season.

[mushRTID]

Did Gibson do anything when he came on?

[Reg of the Rovers]

Did Gibson do anything when he came on?

For 15 minutes I’d forgotten he’d come on, if that helps!

[craigdrfc]

Suspect one of Gibson/Middleton will leave in the summer (if not both).

Personally I like Middleton, but Grant seems not to as much.

[Petche]

Middleton has been disappointing whenever he's been given a chance, not the player I was hoping.

[In the box]

Sharp is no longer the player required upfront . Trying his heart out isn’t working for me . We lost today because we never had any effect in front of goal and Adelakun should be more disciplined and could have played along side Hanlan up front . McCann lost a key centre back and putting Bailey in , instead of Pearson was a mistake and could have left Broadbent on the bench as his form has drifted .

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I don't think Hanlan is that bad overall. However I still think we need a different option if Frankie is out. Which probably says it all.

[DonnyRover]

If there’s a worse player than Hanlan in this division I’d love to know who it is

[mushRTID]

Did Gibson do anything when he came on?

For 15 minutes I’d forgotten he’d come on, if that helps!

If we stay up I think he will be on his way.
We can’t have players performing once every 7 or 8 games.
He’s also now proving he’s not up for a battle.

[Ian Nimmo]

He is total garbage and offers nothing. He rarely wins a ball and I really do struggle to understand if he does anything at all, a total passenger.

[mpc123]

Hanlan hasnt played many gsmes recently, we saw he could make a difference once he had a few games. Sharp I think did well.

Every professional player in all of the leagues are rubbish occording to you lot. There are not many players even in the premership that play well every game.

Just how people are nowadays I suppose. Moan moan, slag off, when they come good never agree they said they were rubbish. A strange world.

OK then. We give in. Hanlan is absolutely brilliant, and we've no chance of going down whatsoever, because the squad is oozing with quality all the way through.

Is that alright for you?
