19 L1 games in and people are still mentioning Smyth
He’s a QPR player get over it.
Because under the radar the problems are the same as last season, lack of final third, lack of end product, lack of goals..
Under the radar is last season we had a solid defence.
Unlike this season, so under the Radar people aren't mentioning it.

No creativity in the team, so impossible to score if you dont create chances.

I wish we had Johnson, Kitchen, Cunningham, Cox, Comfort, in the team, but we don’t, wow what a front 5 they would be!!
Sadly we have no width in the team and a Sunday morning football No.9 playing as our goalscoring No.9
See, I said the 5hit defending would bring out the Drinan slaggers. Always the same here
The issue is not our defence. We can’t score.
We would be in with a shout of a point possibly 3 if the defence was OK tonight. I'll think you'll find currenly we will be lucky to get a point.

Footage of all our corners this evening would be a hell of a watch. For the latest one, we went short and passed it off the pitch.

These are some of the worst corners I've ever seen.

10 Corners now and they seem to be getting worse, we don’t look like creating anything

58% possession
10 corners
But we never ever ever look like scoring

If we could score a goal it's 0 points or 1 .
5hit defence means we rarely look like
getting 3 points .

Both teams are displaying some pathetic passing and clearances. Increasingly terrible game.

By having a defence that doesn't concede & building on that in midfield & attack.

There seems to be a lack of leadership and accountability in the side, they were clean through and the defence didn’t ask questions of each other

Christ, we're beating ourselves out there. We spend 2 mins trying to create an overload on the left, culminating in Sweeney miscontrolling it off the pitch.

This is the most frustrating game of football I can remember watching in years. Can't seem to be able to do basic footballing things like trap a ball or cross beyond the first man. And Rovers are clearly awful is the really galling thing.

Yes we are poor in Attack but we've only got the ball because we are 1-0 down & they are packing there defence.They've got the 3 points & just need to
sit in & protect their lead.

I hope he can still improve but Sweeney looks miles off from a league 1 footballer. Looks insanely 'raw' every time he's on.

Just the slightest notch above ineptitude would be enough to get a goal here.

Bristol Rovers are the worst team we have faced this season in L1
Keep the faith guys we will make it 1-1 with last kick of the game

Should be nowhere near a league 1 team. I seriously doubt he would get in the starting line up of a conference side

Can't remember the last time I saw an opposition have to do so little to win a game.
