[drfchound]

Bring back McSheffrey ?

[normal rules]

39% possession.
7 shots.
Just one on target

[The Dav]

It’s a disgrace how our wonderful club being managed both on and off the field, all that momentum that was built starting with JR over 20 years ago, has now vanished, we’re the joke of South Yorkshire again.

Schofield 29 points from 22 games - 1.3 ppg
McSheffrey 21 points from 14 games - 1.5 ppg

On that basis can the club justify keeping Schofield as manager for next season?

There is no sign of him improving the team through either coaching or signing new players and his tactical approach produces ineffective, boring dross.

[scawsby steve]

There's only one direction the club is heading in, and that's downwards.

People thinking other are deluding themselves.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Proper rubbish that again.  No positives really.

[Petche]

If there's no visible signs of improvement in the last 10 games then surely he's got to go?

I think everyone knows that Steve. They might not admit it but they know.

[Dn11]

That was really really poor

[Bills view]

Some look at reality, others fantasy.

Our goal difference compared to the other teams shows where we are as a team.

Not everyone. Still been some delusional talk of playoffs on here the last few days.

[Chris Black come back]

We are mid-table also rans in the lowest professional tier of the game because we almost always play badly. Not just inconsistent, but bad. Nobody who watches us regularly gets to see good football. Even when we win, it’s pretty bad. It’s slow, predictable, powder puff and self-inflicted disaster lurks around every corner. We are rank bad - and of the XI that ended the game today almost half of them were signed by Schofield.

[Canadian Rover]

Didn't tune in at all today. How was it today? Any good points or the same old shit?

[Scooter]

That was woeful

[Prez]

Not a chance for the play offs. We might as well re name ourselves lightweight FC. Not a bit of fight in any of us. Powder puff. This season is done.

It’s next season I’m really worried about with this fraud in charge.

[since-1969]

Another half hearted performance, to mistakes cost us two goals . Millers goal  was the only bright moment of the game . This has got to be one of the worst Rovers  squads ever assembled!!

[The Dav]

We only started playing around the 75 min mark, the game was over then, and even then we still stank the place out !

There's the rub, there is absolutely no improvement whatsoever, & there are no signs of any either, utterly depressing.

[Campsall rover]

That 2nd half was a total disgrace.

No fight, not even ant sign of tactical acumen from DS

This is what astounds me. We haven’t been in the play offs all season bar one week. Does anyone who watches us think we are in form that can accrue points at a greater rate than we have at any other stage in the season? There is zero sign of that happening and other than the very dog days of McSheffrey, this side is playing as badly as they have all season. What do these people think is going to happen? We are not yo-yoing in and out of the play offs. We are never there!

Totally this. It really worries me he will be given the summer, nothing against the guy himself, but there are no signs of him taking us forward, that support we had today deserves better, it's a crying shame.

[Rovers91]

Club is completely on its arse, keep these idiots and manager in charge and we will be in a relegation battle next season.

Exactly, while I admire their positivity, the realty is very different.

[Chris Black come back]

And I know they have a bit of money behind them but they had a gate today of less than 3,000 of which we made up 1/3, have a middling home record which was not as good as our home record as comparison, and were on the very edges of the play offs, yet we went there and nobody sentient expected us to come away with anything. How this has come to happen I have absolutely no idea.

[bobbymax]

I think only a fool will not realise now that there are major issues within the club, from top to bottom. I don't think it's all down to cash but I strongly suspect that a genuine lack of investment is at the heart of most things. That, and the recruitment policy regarding managers and players over the last two years which must be just about the worst among all 72 clubs within the EFL!

The most truthful and correct post I have seen on here for some time. This exactly where we are.

[selby]

  We really do need to get rid of the pit pat soft underbelly players and system we are trying to instil in really not that good a players, and change the game plan to uncompromising winning football, and encourage our forward players to attack defenders on the run with the ball, and get defenders who are defenders first and physical.
  It's time to stop dreaming of making a silk purse out of a pigs bladder.

When our own manager goes cap in hand to recruit from his very own agent, you know that recruitment is not what it could, and should be.
