Also isn't Salisbury the one who sent Heffs off (second yellow) for diving at Rotherham some years ago - and later apologised for not giving the stonewall penalty?

Not a bad performance from us so far, but the lack of half decent front line is costing us again. This surely has to be addressed in January. I've seen more movement in the toilets of the Constipation Society's AGM.

Again, posts from those at the game much appreciated. It's worrying that we have no-one to bring on in place of them. If Copps is out on the wing, perhaps he could go more central, they could bring on Forester in place of Robinson (or Main)
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v The Gills
Post by: Lipsy on December 13, 2014, 04:04:14 pm
Yeah, that surprised me somewhat - hence why I shared it. It puts things into a slightly worrying perspective, and perhaps helps explain what again appears to be another poor showing on the attendance front.

You still need shape he's done it plenty of times bringing a midfielder off for an attacker, going for it doesnt mean you have to throw as many attacking players on the pitch you can at once.

Fine here :)

Is it Dickov or the players, or both? I've been very disappointed with Main, Robinson hasn't ever really performed, Forrester has been dire. A few players have performed though. Is it that we haven't got a captain of quality? Scoring abilities all round has been woeful.

I'm averse to a manager change being the solution, but I think the time has come for an injection of spirit and I can't see that without either a top quality striker or a feisty manager coming in. Just please not Rob Jones - love the man, but he's not manager material.
