I’m incandescent with rage about something. Might be Waterfall, or perhaps the formation, possibly the choice of subs, not sure yet!!! Sort it out Pab!!! Sean out!!!! |

The half time entertainment (bloke singing let me entertain you) was the man of the match.

I do hope Ricketts remembered to wave at the end of the game or there’s going to be some pretty angry fans on here later!!

Ive backed the manager and the players and always thought we would be too good to go down. THEN today just a few minutes ago that all changed. WHY. I read on this forum that Gwynneddblue left the game early and is criticising our display. Things are now really that bad and for the first time I am worried.

That is why I was so p**sed that we didn’t beat Wimbledon last week.
Because Peterborough probably wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Mr Toney, we were lucky to hold on v Doncaster, yet Wimbledon was where most (if not all) were expecting us to pick up the points.
Back to the norm now? Only 2 away wins all season!! Can’t see us picking up too many more points on the road?!
Our record against teams in the bottom four (at the time of playing them) is appalling.

Same old story
Keeper stays on line , taps one over instead of catching
Both crosses not his fault though , defence like statues
Not enough defenders
Too many forwards
I thought ohenberie touched the ball once today
The ref touched it twice
No point having forwards if we can’t service them or don’t have enough to provide the service
And Whaley , I said play him forward , he’s not a defender
Attacking full backs are just that
Defenders that can attack
Not attackers that can defend, he can’t defend to save his life
I said 4-5-1 which I think was the answer today
And okenberie would have been a decent sub
And time for a keeper change
The fact Mitchell wasn’t even on the bench was silly

The results against Doncaster and Peterbrough were a great boost, especially when both those sides are in play-off contention, but arguably winning some of the games we've had recently against relegation rivals would have been more beneficial
What's worrying is that in the last month or so we've played sides down the bottom like Bradford, Bristol Rovers, Wimbledon and now Rochdale and only have a couple of draws to show for it. If those types of results continue we're always going to get dragged down into the bottom four battle.

How can you possibly have consistent performances when you don’t have a consistent line up??

When Waterfall went up front we looked really dangerous - maybe we should play him up there with Okenabirhie and Campbell ? Second half was desperate until the Waterfall switch - no passion at all; cannot see how we can stay up playing like that.

We have a former international defender, and a former international goalkeeper in charge of the squad, yet we can’t defend set pieces??
What do they work on on the training ground?

Rochdale's second was the softest goal I've seen us concede in years. Woeful. Pants wasn't it. Like slow motion. Watching the replay, it becomes a thing of blood-chilling terror. Rated X. |

I'm also worried after what I saw for 85 minutes or so today. I've watched the Town long enough to know how to take the rough with the smooth but what really disappointed me today was 1) the inability to get the basics right and 2) the lack of passion, the lack of desire to compete. I don't go to every game nowadays so perhaps today was hopefully an off day. I sincerely hope it was otherwise we could easily go down. |

How many goals have we conceded from set pieces this season! The one thing you can do during training is practice set pieces! Obviously we don't, or we rotate our defenders so much that we get confused! Desperate! yeah but if Whalley takes all the set pieces in training as he does in the proper match then they ain't gonna be difficult to defend! |

Waterfall lucky not to go for his usual bufoonery just before half time
Pughy lucky not to go for his usual bufoonery just after half time.

It’s funny you say that as Whalley’s set pieces have been pretty dreadful for quite some time but today, they were excellent. Many found their way to Waterfall as intended & Beckles should have scored 2 from them. That’s one thing that was better this week! |

We should not concede from as many set pieces as we do, especially with three big centre halves, and players like Norburn, Haynes, and Edwards are all a decent size.
However yesterday a little credit must go to Rochdale.as they scored off two well work set pieces where they managed to get block off markers to get a player free.
We created set piece chances through waterfall, and Beckles could not have placed one of his any better and the keeper made an incredible save lie to his left. And pushed the ball away! Arnold let two cone out forward and they scored one.
I am not anti Arnold, but I do think if you swapped the two keepers yesterday we would have won a game played by two pretty poor sides.
Apart from Whalley I still think there was a lack of urgency in our play, particularly second half when it was needed most. I also think their 10 (Camps?) not only ticked the ball over well, but covered a huge amount of ground and looked like a midfielder doing everything to stop his side get relegated, we could have done with a player doing this for us in the middle of the park.

Not only was Rochdale's Number 3 left unmarked to put in the shots that led to their 2 goals, but he was also responsible for clearing the ball onto the bar in the last minute of the game.
Agree about Arnold. He pushed two shots back into the goal area. Rochdale should have scored from the first one, and did so from the second.
