At the risk of conforming to a stereotype, he's not having a bad game otherwise. Doing loads of work in defence and a couple of decent offloads.

We need to show some bloody commitment. Match their effort and we win.

We haven't got up for yet another derby I see.
We don't look like we want to win this game, scared to throw the ball about and no runners.
Where's the enthusiasm? Where's the attacking play from last week?

Yep. Could have put Miller out of the final, that.

Forwards need to step up IMO. Should be dominating and aren't. If we can build a bit of a platform then our attack should improve.

Agree with that, but derbies have a habit of swinging completely on a single stupid error/penalty. It was the needlessness and avoidability that bothered me. Keep inviting Rovers to start sets in our half and they'll score points, they're not like us in that respect.

Awful first half performance.

Out enthused, our forwards look soft, burns and walker intimidating our players, our left edge over-run.

Yet we are only 2 points behind.

I think we'll go onto win it, just.

Our forwards seem to be getting steamrollered by theirs. Threequarters have done ok, but the halfbacks have all to work with given Rovers' forward dominance. Kicking game rubbish at times too.

Yeah, agree with that, just responding to the 'off day' part. Hopefully he'll cut it out in the second half.

Match their effort and we would rip them to pieces, never mind beat them.

I don't know if it is their forward dominance, for me it's the fact hkr aren't afraid to move the ball about.

They're an interchange down as well, so there's really no excuse.

Sorry, meant mainly with his discipline/game intelligence. He's smarter than that and should know what it could cost us.

Another handling error

Shambolic.
