We need to swap Williams and Pennington. We need more pace at RB.

Well that was painful, easy peasy from rovers, passed and moved well and an open goal.
Best part of the half undoubtedly the fact we only managed to concede one. Town second best throughout, unable to string any moves of note together. Rovers have pressed well and moved the ball about in a way we've just not been able to deal with. We've been totally outplayed in midfield and looked sloppy at the back. Thankfully most of the Rovers chances have been of the half chance variety otherwise this game would be over already.
A big 15 mins coming up for Wilbraham and Cotterill.

Been poor all over the pitch.
We aren't coping with their system, or their work-rate.

Weird but you could see that goal coming as soon as it went into the feet of the Rovers player who backheeled it on the wing. It really did just open up for them.
Just got to hope a rocket up their arse at half time will see them come out with more purpose.
Come on Town!!

Not in it. No possession, no shots, no corners, press is non existant.
Great Rovers goal... Rodman exceptional...
a point would be an excellent outcome from this showing, but something needs to be changed at half time.

Why’ve we got a right back sat on the bench..?

town very poor and sluggish we just have been unable to string any passes together, the poorest first half since coterrill has taken over, we are making it very easy for bristol so far and conceed a goal before half time. let us hope we turn up in the second half and manage to get back in the game.

Credit where it's due, this is a fine move - we've been totally schooled here.
Boy, would I take a point from here.

Well that was bloody awful. Did we pick up one second ball all half?
Fair play to Rovers though they have really closed down well every time we even look like getting the ball.

Think they need a bit of a b******** at half time.
Norburn and Vela have been dire and we’ve barely strung three passes together.
Rovers are here for the taking and look ropey every time Main has put them under a little bit of pressure.
Maybe tweak the formation?

Whalley was certainly guilty in not tracking Rodman. Pennington playing like a fish out of water at RB. Surely Sears would be a better option? As others have said, very poor performance so far. Barton has our measure in not giving us any time or space in which to play. And we aren't pressing them further up the pitch, relying on long hopeless balls instead.

According to the BBC, the only stat we're winning at at the moment is fouls.

0 shots on or off target, no offsides, no corners.
The only way is up.

Yes, maybe better to match them up, by bringing on Sears as a wing back
