Here we go. Eco looks nigh on deserted.
-
dear me :(
-
Whether people like to admit it or not.
We are a bottom end league 2 team in a relegation battle. We havr been on the decline for a few years now with poor dull football to boot and poor decisions along the way.
Attendances will plummet until we show that we are marching back up.
Not many people are willing to give up a weekend and £20/£21 for a ticket for what has been served up
-
0-1
-
Will we ever learn?
-
Oh dear, when are we going to f**k Olowu off? Awful player.
-
Our players are to busy holding there players rather than winning the ball
-
7 points off relegation
-

Think that was ben close who was the marker there not olowu.
They have opened us up down our left
-

I don't see what he did?

their players.... :rolleyes:

0:2

This is gonna get ugly
-
0-2
-
Oh dear.

We really are shit today
-
GM has had the opportunity to address the defensive situation in the last few weeks. He doesn’t look like he has.
-
Some of our fans are absolute morons. We are having a bad season playing the team at the top of the league. This game is a free hit. The next few are important
Fans chanting:
‘You’re not fit to wear the shirt’
‘We’re f-ing shit’
‘Donny get battered’
We are meant to be supporters
-
Can't use injuries as excuses anymore so questions need to be asked of GM.
-
We look shocking and very poor we are to open
-
For Sale, an acre of open space, left side of the ECO Power Stadium pitch
-
Anyone at the game? How's the fan that the stoppage was for?
-
Thankfully Sutton and Forest Green are also losing.

You are forgetting that we only narrowly lost to them at their place, and being 2-0 down so early on on our own patch is embarrassing to say the least.
-
A bit of good news: Sutton Utd losing 1-0 to Swindon Tn.
Wait a minute: Forest Grn now losing Accrington Snl.
Phew!

Sorry, Sutton just equalised 1-1. :headbang:

Looks like they are still receiving treatment but presumably not a medical emergency

Thanks. I'm watching online with family at the game and felt sick when announced on IFollow.

Before today, Stockport had only won 3 in their last 9. I don’t agree with what you say our fans are singing, but it’s absolutely pathetic if we as a club call a game against Stockport County “a free hit” and effectively throw the towel in before the game has even begun in earnest.
-
From the BBC website:
“Joe Ironside (Doncaster Rovers) header from very close range misses to the left.”
Any detail please?
-
0-3 Utterly shocking defending. Shortest player on the pitch outjumps Rowe and nods in from a corner. Just awful.
-
This is disgusting
-
Horrific defending. Game in, game out.
-
OMG - the smallest player on the pitch free header in the box what the actual f*CK do they practice?
-
This will be 6 or 7 today every time they attack they look like they will score we are in deep trouble
-
The rot continues.
-
Forest Green losing and Sutton drawing. Salford winning.
-
Unless mccann starts concentrating on getting new defenders in he might as well go
-
A f****ng floated ball into the 6yd area. Come off your bloody line and deal with it.
-
How.long is grant getting?
-
I’ve been, at various times this season, disappointed by performances and confused by the ability to perform so well but never in consecutive games. I’ve never been out and out worried about the league position. I am now.
-
Hopefully it’ll be 9 or 10, then perhaps after 3 years of awful defending it might dawn on someone with a brain cell that there are certain players who should not wear a Rovers shirt ever again.
-
f**k me sideways. That is up there with the worst goal I've seen us concede in the last few years.
-
How.long is grant getting?
I don't see who comes in and improves us, however McCann signed 9 of today's match day squad so he must be held to account more than he has been to date.
The club is rotten.
-
Is Jones coming out of his goal to try and claim any of these crosses?
-
There are players on the bench far better than some that GM has picked to start this game.
-
At least we'll get to see the Dons highlights on the Rovers Weekly Show? Wonder if any of them fancy a game in the red and white
-
How.long is grant getting?
Longer than Louis f**king jones hopefully. Worst keeper since 97/98
-
Is Jones coming out of his goal to try and claim any of these crosses?
Why we still don't have a better 'keeper than Jones is beyond me. It's indefensible.
-
We’ll be playing Dorking and Weadlestone next season if Grant doesn’t get a grip
-
3 new signings sat on the bench, what's that all about?
-
This'd be a good game to come back and win..... :saywhat:
-
McGrath soft as shit in the last 10 mins too.
-
Commentary:
If it wasn't for Louis Jones then the scoreline wouldn't be respectable
We are 3-0 down at home against Stockport County not Liverpool!! It should be Five by the way
-

Other half time scores are good for us. Salford and Forest Green losing. Sutton drawing.

Perspective. Didn’t expect anything but a pumping today . Anything else would be fantasy

Sorry?
We've gone from the top 6 in League One to 22nd in League Two in under 3 years. What is it about our record over the last 3 years that doesn't indicate there's serious issues at the club?
-
Quickest I’ve seen the team move in unison was to get off the pitch for half time.
Louis Jones has been Rovers man of the match by the way.
-

Yeah but 2 goals from 6 yard box headers by under 6ft tall players????
-

Heads need banging together in that dressing room.
Id imaging stockport have the cigars laid out for their players its that easy
-
Stats just shown 4 attempts on target for 3 goals, same happened at Harrogate. We may as well play 11 outfield players for how much use either of the goalkeepers are
-
Embarrassing all over today. Weak as f… all over the pitch. Defence being bullied left right and centre.
Yes they are a good outfit. But we ought to at least make them get a sweat on. They are beating us at a jogging pace.
Quite a few people left at 3-0 and I didn’t see them come back.
The Benny Hill theme is playing. Apt.
-
Whats the bets on the 2nd half being 0-0 and we start hearing the we was better in the 2nd half comments and we should start the next game with the same team that finished this one? When it will be down to stockport taking it easy
-
I'm speaking as someone who still firmly believes McCann is the man to sort our club out. I also genuinely believed we could challenge for the playoffs at the start of the season, and even until about 10 games thought we might just sneak into 7th place.
But I am worried.
-
Everytime Stockport win a corner it almost feels like we've conceded a pen!
-
Well well pick the bones out of that. Absolutely criminal defending from set pieces. Need a performance & changes second half, back to being a team of strangers again.
Wrong team selection for me, Hurst offers nothing, Olowu can't defend, Rowe is not a left back, & the lad from Tottenham totally & utterly out of his depth. We never win our personal battles at set pieces. For the smallest player out there to score a header from the middle of the goal is unacceptable at any level.

Spot on

-
You could not make this up.
4-0.
-
27 seconds.
-
I've walked out.
-
Unbelievable … all attacking players subbed. Not a single defender subbed … and we concede yet another within 30 seconds of the restart WTF !!
-
4 subs and 4 nil
-
4 goals. 4 headers
-
No changes in defence?
Now can anyone explain that please omg
-
All eyes on Sutton and Forest Green. We need a favour!
-
His time is up now,the defence is so bad he makes no chamges in defence
-
Need Sutton not to get a goal here.
-

That didn’t age well
-
We WILL go down.. and I’m not the only one who thinks so
-
9-1 for relegation last week looks a steal right now.
-
I feel embarrassed just following on here on my own
-
We’re in the shit, changed the whole structure of the club based on Grant being the messiah and so far it turns out he’s not.

:lol:
I'll change the angle
Whats the bets stockport dont concede 5.
-
Jesus Christ.
-
No excuses GM … you have some explaining to do. 0-5
-
Second time this season we’ve conceded 5 AT HOME!
-
Tommy Rowe at LB lol
-
Another header?
-
I made a free hit comment earlier. I meant that is we were beaten by the top of the league it wouldn’t be a surprise and then we regroup for the next few games against teams around us.
However this performance is dreadful. Sutton will be coming for us
-
Time for a change in management, loved grant last time but enough is enough
-
Thus season has been awful. Mccann has signed a lot of players. No excuses for me. Get him gone.
-
Grant "i don't know/ i'm too arrogant to set a team up to be solid" McCann. Should be on borrowed time for me.
-
If they get a 6th, he should walk this evening or handed his p45.
He's been backed with hundreds of signings and most haven't performed. He's signed 3 strikers and 1 defender when our problems have been in defence.
He had the opportunity to offload Anderson and oluwo this window and bring in fresh blood but wasted it on three loans in attack and an inexperienced midfielder.

Who is willing to take anderson and olowu off our hands? To get rid we would have to pay them off.

The comeback is on!

Come on, there's always clubs taking on players.
Both would be a decent signing for top half NL sides
-
6:5....we're going to win 6:5
-
The Goal Difference is now only 3 and 4 better than the two below us - after our goal!
-
Massive goal……
We might need goal difference at the end of this season….
-
We shouldn't be sacking McCann but we should be asking why our defensive unit continues to be so dire. We and in League Two, not the Championship. It really shouldn't been that hard.

I agree.
Was thinking about how Stan Anderson sorted a powder puff defence when he first arrived and how Penney sorted out the goals were conceding from crosses in our first few games in League Two after promotion. We are no closer to solving our defensive issues now that’s we were on day one.
-

McCann IS a good manager, changing the manager (this time) certainly isn't the solution, the quality of player we have needs addressing and the expectations need to be addressed!! There should be a meet the players evening not a meet the owners but OUR CAPTAIN is an example of someone who is way too precious, how dare the fans criticize him? f**k it...cup my ears and troll the fans.
-
23 minutes since they last scored…I’m feeling a bit happier now! :facepalm:
-
I think Jones is improving and Lawlor has been better than I remembered, but not signing a serious League Two keeper was obviously a mistake. Wood might have helped if he had been fit but again, we've pissed around at the edge trying to be serious in our central defence and ended up playing Bailey there or changing entire formation to try and make a 3 work. If we had been serious and signed two proper League Two central defenders, we wouldn't be pissing around like this. The whole unit is busted and all of our current central defenders surely cannot be part of the future.

Robbie Andrew.
-
We have two genuinely very good footballing full backs in Sterry and Maxwell (Senior and Nixon perfectly capable too). We just needed two proper league two CBs between them to do the basics, and a competent defensive midfielder sat in front of them. Despite the obvious deficiencies, we still haven't sorted out either of those areas of the pitch.
-
Robbie's heart is not in it any more - he's depressed - for the most part all he is doing is telling us who's got the ball. Can't blame him really.
-
Never left early before but sat at home missed our goal couldn’t take anymore after the 5th

No this was last season, but the detachment remains

Sorry, meant co-commentary.

Wood and Long are out of contract this summer and presumably leave. Olowu and Anderson still are contracted for next season. Faulkner out of contract this summer but will presumably be offered something. Jones and Lawlor both contracted next season. McGrath for another 2 seasons.
If we view Faulkner and McGrath as works in progress, if we can move on Olowu and Anderson, and sign 2 serious senior centre backs, then those 4 would be a good group next season. Who those would be, I have no idea but we need a totally new start. Equally you could move on one of Jones or Lawlor and have the remaining one fight it out with a serious keeper.
-
Colchester still 1 up at Morecambe and Morecambe missed a penalty at the start of the 2nd half but seem to be under pressure from Colchester.
-
Sad, but we're still above the dotted line to relegation......

Biggins sponsor MOTM.

Ah OK. Was gonna say if it was today then thats a massive disgrace aftger this performance
-
So utterly depressing and frustrating all this is. Only bright spot has been the -ifollow commentary. Robby has been is usual efficient and informative self -- but who is the co-commentator? I heard Robbie call him "Alex" in one conversation. Alex is doing a great job.

The defence didn’t improve at all under Stan Anderson!
-
The commentators did a great job today.spot on with their observations and not the waffle we often get.
