I hope he can still improve but Sweeney looks miles off from a league 1 footballer. Looks insanely 'raw' every time he's on.
Should be nowhere near a league 1 team. I seriously doubt he would get in the starting line up of a conference side
He's having a mare. Just sliced a clearance horribly and presented them with a good chance.

Un-be-lievable. Brown heads the ball straight to Marquis who somehow doesn't score it.

some crumb of comfort in having both sets of supporters in agreement, maybe? Can't help feeling that a draw would be fair at HT though
well, there you go. A deserved bore draw

Bristol rovers gift us an own goal in the last minute and we still manage to gift them two absolute sitters to try to throw away the point.

Farcically bad game of football from both teams. Feel irritated I paid a tenner to stream that from home, thank god I didn't go.

Really poor tonight but at least we grabbed a point. RW has some thinking to do.

Somehow 6 pts clear of the relegation zone after that, but no hiding from the goal-shyness, iffy defending and difficult upcoming fixtures...

It's a point away but Rovers were poor and we just couldn't create chances. 11 corners and not a single shot, header on goal even from any of them. We could get turned over on Saturday on this showing.

A dire performance. The Gas aware that Orient have a new set piece trainer, went to great lengths to make sure they didn't concede any corners. I think I would have preferred to have spent the 100 minutes at a Barry Manilow concert.

A very, very unexpected point. On the brighter side, Carlisle, Fleetwood, Cheltenham, Cambridge, Burton all got beat. Doesn't make our performance any better, but it's a point further away from them!

Better off having Barry Manilow as the set piece coach 🫢

Because Ruel isnt a 10. must have posted that more than ive even posted how Drinan is useless.
Ruel is a 9, he scores goals as a 9, but is hopeless as a 10
I wish RW would realise this
And your management record is....
So because ive never been a league manager, according to you im not allowed an opinion eh?
Its been shown time and time again that your opinion is of little value.

Think watching us lose 5-0 at home would be better than watching him.
