Truly shocking inept performance so far, our players seem scared to try anything, as though they game plan is just lump it forward as quickly as possible.

Wint Be GRs fault though, never is. 

That is the game plan....

[Ruud Aralliss]

The sceptic on my shoulder wonders whether some players don’t want promotion as they know they will not figure in a premiership side and their contracts will never be as lucrative anywhere else??

[Finch]

If Burton stay up and GR goes good day.

This is the moment. If this team comes back out for the second half unchanged, I may be convinced to join you lot on the "Rowett's not the right man" brigade. 

Vydra has done **** all today, but I bet Palmer will still have to wait until the 70th minute to get a chance. And if he has sense he should get Keogh back alongside Davies. Every time Pearce or Davies get the ball they're hoofing it out of play or to an offside Nugent

The lead up to the goal wasn't Bairds fault. But not closing downa player as he walks into the box is entirely on him. He was also at fault for the first goal (but not the lead up to the first goal).

This is a team performance in terms of its ineptitude, but the moments from which they've scored are on Baird.

Basic really though init, if Ledley doesn't play that ball we don't concede there. Plenty of opportunities to then stop the goal I agree, Baird included. 

Similar to the first goal, Baird's man on the back post yet he's covering for Davies too so **** knows. If Wisdom doesn't play the hospital ball in the first instance we don't concede there, again. 

Just kamikaze **** really, Burton have lapped it up. Murphy and Davenport running the show.

Don't worry...GR has a plan.................................................

Palmer for Vyds on 65........................................................................................................................................................................................and Cam for Nugey on 88. 

It would be funny if it weren’t true

[GeneralRam]

Just remember it's Clough. It's these sorts of games where he shines.

It was almost a guaranteed win against Forest when he was here.

[Firstyeoman]

It seems to me that Burton want to survive more than we want to go up...simples!

Hanson on at half time!

[Harrowram]

Losing to Sunderland and Burton will surely give Mel good reason to question Rowett's future. Mick Mccarthy anyone?

GR has to turn this around second half. He has to, no buts , no excuses.

As the late great Graham Taylor once said..."Now then! This is a test!".

Sunderland, 2 wins in 18 away games before coming up against us. Beat us 4-1

Burton, the worst home record in the league and have not won at home in 17 games. Currently having an easy time of things and are 2-1 up against us

 

The players didn't look arsed against Wolves, the top team in the league and now they don't look arsed against Burton, the worst in the league. This is really, really poor

Shocking stuff by us, maybe just highlighting that we have been rather fortunate with some of our results this season

cant blame Mac anymore for them not trying at the season end

rowetts most important 45 mins coming up - I just don’t think the players are good enough especially when a goal behind

Are you reading any posts on here atm?

I was referring to the post match interview from the man himself 

[SKRam]

Has he lost the dressing room? If they’re not playing for him he’ll be heading for the door marked ‘do one’   

[Sexydadbod]

I’d sack him even if by a miracle we got promoted. He doesn’t seem to have any long term plan, all he seems to think about is short term, short term, short term.

[Angry Ram]

Biggest 45 mins of Rowetts career coming up. Still only half time, we can still turn this around but he and the players seem devoid of ideas.. Come on Gary, 45 mins **** or bust..

[Pottig]

Triple change at half time?

[wixman1884]

Can't attack them in a conventional sense though- that's a failed strategy that was proven ineffective in the 13-15 seasons.
