Rovers v Walsall

[Dabby]

Tommy Rowe returns, while Adam Clayton and Max Woltman are also included in the starting XI.

So it could be 4 3 3 or 4321 or 4312 or plain  442  or is DS going to play TR at left side defender so we play 3 4 2. I

Liverpool have had a word, he plays or he comes back.

[Barmby Rover]

Two up front would be good, GM would have less running to do.

[Barmby Rover]

This doesn't look good after 7 minutes:

[Barmby Rover]

Better now

[Barmby Rover]

Still no shot, on or off target at 30 minutes gone, worrying.

[Barmby Rover]

One goal from either side here and it could be game over, both poor at attacking.

[Barmby Rover]

45 minutes without a single shot on goal, "going in to see what we can do better", I will give them a guess!

[CottyRover]

Thanksforthe updates, Barmby. Is it really as dull as it sounds?

[monkeytennis]

Lacklustre so far from both teams. Williams’ passing is poor, keeps giving them the ball.

Rovers need to bring a lot more energy and belief to the second half.

[bpoolrover]

Woltman off and hurst on or move Tommy Rowe forward as pointless at left back, our passing and attacking play is so slow

Bit harsh on Williams there I think. He hasn't been bad on the ball, I've been critical of him in the past and think he should of been dropped but I say here and actually said to myself he has been fine tonight, but then he did give it straight away 

The midfield is the problem again. Not dominating. Struggle against any team with energy.

[monkeytennis]

I feel like too many players get the ball then think ‘right, now what’ rather than having their next move or moves planned out.

When we go toward all too often we just stall and hold up instead of pressing ahead.

[SydneyRover]

A bit tentative, reflecting where the teams are on the ladder.

[ScillyRover]

0-1
Williams left for dead … and they are 1 up.

[Dutch Uncle]

Just after we started the half well.

Need a response COYR

[Barmby Rover]

Oh dear, I hope I was wrong earlier, but I am not optimistic here.

[SydneyRover]

Williams was beaten far too easily and we had enough men in the box to defend that.

[Thorney]

What was Williams doing then

[SydneyRover]

Not a lot

[bpoolrover]

We have no intention of attacking why is the manager so scared of conceding, get some pace on the pitch and Rowe further up the pitch how hard can it be

[ScillyRover]

Game crying out for Hurst and Taylor.

[Barmby Rover]

To be fair to Walsall, if they try to shut up shop against us it should not be that difficult to hold out for 30 minutes or so. Sky now have us at 16/1 against winning.

[Lesonthewest]

Another hour ticks by at home without a shot on target, pathetic.

[Thorney]

This is now 2 managers who seem to prefer to play tommy deeper.

Think we will have some more pressure around there box, can see them sitting back further. Agard to come on a get 1

[bpoolrover]

We need one hell of a transfer window to really push on

[Barmby Rover]

We need one hell of a transfer window to really push on

I love an optimist!

[bpoolrover]

We need the manager to realise hurst is ten times the player that maxwell is at left midfield

[ScillyRover]

Williams … an absolute liability. Get rid!! 0-2
He’s by far the weakest link in this side.
