Morning everyone! This is a big, big, big game, must focus on beating Rochdale and not think about a 4th Rd glamour tie. Also we don't want a draw and have to cross t'border to the Dark Land of Lancs.
-
Just been on Rochdale forum,theyre not happy with their team,seem to think hes saving his best team for Tuesday night?!
-
League might matter more to them, they probably haven't got the squad for a cup run and fighting a relegation battle, tough choices have to be made.
-
Anyone know if the game is on live via iFollow or don't they include cup games?
-
1st yellow card to Rochdale in the 1st min, shows their intent, if they keep playing like this they won't finish the game with 11 players on the pitch.
-
Is the audio coverage available anywhere ?
-
0-1
-
f**k sake
-
Calvin Andrew, 18 mins
-
Come on Donny,let show some character. :clapping: :clapping:
-
Rochdale seem to be bossing the game, we need to up our tempo and out play them.
-
Need to get back level or avoid going further behind before half time then fergie get in to them.
Today is a must not lose we need to be in the next round we need to money
-
Where is our defence, Andrew had another chance.
-
Rovers are currently sleepwalking out of the FA Cup.
-
As much as a cup run is very welcome, it isn’t a must win game..
-
Marquis now booked
-
I want us to be in the next round, but "need" is a overly strong word in my opinion.
It could make no difference to the table, it could even be a distraction that stops us sneaking into the playoffs. It could also be the difference between finishing 9th or 13th in the table.
Nothing personal, I just don't see the point
-
Marquis now booked
HT switch Mandy for Marquis, save him from a Red card.

The money from the next round could be the difference between 14 and 6th in being able to buy some players

Absolutely, "could" be the difference. Much more comfortable with that language than "need". All sorts of doom and stress emerges on the back of that sort of talk :)
-
BBC commentator just described our performance so far as "awful"
-
I'm sure DF has a wish list of players he would want to bring in if we were to get a big 4th Rd tie, but first we need to get the better of Rochdale, which isn't happening at the moment, must get to HT without conceding any more goals for DF to sort the team out.
-
In terms of confidence and momentum I feel that it is a MUST WIN game, particularly against a team lower in the league than us
-
We're only 1 down, half time hairdyer and slight reorganisation could make the difference :scarf:

League position counts for nowt in a cup tie, they have a better recent record than us in the FA Cup, history is on their side.
-
Lower in the league they may be, but their performance last Friday was better than that..
We could still win and get a crap draw next round, so we can’t let this round be the make or break for our season..
-
This ref is a joke worse ref I’ve seen for a long time
-
We simply have to play much better in the second half and counter and nullify their bullyboy tactics, outsmart them and outplay them will do the trick.
-
BBc stats show we had 9 shots to there 3 albeit only 3 on target?!

5 blocked though
-
How are we playing? According to the BBC the Beest had a great chance to score.
-
Rovers firmly on top here as Kongolo finds Marquis, who rattles the post.
-
Just had a penalty turned down
-
Copps on, see if he can weave his magic and get us back into the game.
-

According to the beeb we’ve had 3 turned down
-
TBH, it's far less stressful being one down with 20 to go than being one up

The official attendance is 4,543, with 574 travelling supporters .
-
come on lads, we owe Rochdale a fair few late goals
-
Mandy needs to come on to combine with Copps to run at the Rochdale defence, and get chances in the box.
-
Garrett on for mason
-
Come on Donny !¥
-
Round 4 - Man City vs Rochdale
-
7 to go plus add ons
-
Come on you reds...!
-
Round 4 - Man City vs Rochdale
Nailed on
-
sounds like we should have had at least 1 pen this afternoon though?
-
Garrett on for mason
That's a defender for a defender, we need to get another attacking midfielder on the pitch, Mandy would be my choice.
-
Many getting ready to come on
-
Not going to happen is it?
-
Mandy for may
-
Many getting ready to come on
only one player allowed not "many"
-

I believe

Damm autocorrect
-
Mandy for may
'bout time!
-
We’d only get Coventry in R4
-
5 mins extra come on
-
Not sure if we would be the same draw ball number as Rochdale anyway..
-
balls
-
Not good :(
-
Not the end of the world either..
-

agree if Rochdale were called Dochdale would be same ball

-
We can focus on the league, and get in the players we need to push for the play-offs.
-
This is vey disappointing. Feel let down.

Welcome to the life of being a Rovers fan :rtid:

I may be in a minority but I’d have happily swapped today’s result with last Friday.
-
You can for so long put it down to the performance of the referee, however at the end of the day we haven't been able to put the ball in the back of the net which has been the case nearly all season just not enough goals and there isn't an obvious plan B towards the end anyone who can get their head on the ball from a set piece, crosses etc.
We won't be anywhere near the play-offs unless we have more of a goal threat, why you generally see us lose by the odd goal the defence has actually imho got better through the season.
We have 4 players who have scored 5 or more goals all season and 1 of them is Whiteman, hence why in the top 12th we are the joint lowest scorers in there but have the 5th best defence.

Kiwomya! He's on his way! :boxing:
-
It is true that the league is where our priorities should lie, but this really was a golden opportunity to get a rare 4th round appearance & more cash in the kitty even without a draw against one of the big fish. Very disappointed, but hey ho onwards &,hopefully,upwards.

I will await judgement on that and see if those 3 points in the league make any difference at the end of the season.
