Can you remember that far back lol

[The Red Baron]

Actually DF is not playin this evening . The back two are atrocious ! They are very much inferior to Buts and Wright and it's like a knife through butter . We have no presence in mudfield to hold onto the ball as both Houghton and Whiteman are allowing the game to pass them by . It has been a dismal display all round with the sole exception of Mc Cullough who is head and shoulders above the rest .
 Copps and Kiwomya and Baudry ALL three neede from the off in second half . Goodnight all I am in Florence and am going to the bar now for my bottle of Chianti.

McCullough was badly at fault for the second goal. Let their No. 16 bully him off the ball.

I did feel a bit for Beestin and Marquis because they got no service at all.

I thought Fergie knew McCullough isn't a defender.

We have all seen how good Luke can be in front of a back four.
Has the man in charge noticed?

Absolutely abject performance. We we're second best to a very average team. Fergie got the formation and tactics totally wrong.  We had too many similar players in a midfield that totally lacked creativity - with Coppinger sat on the bench - when he came on (far too late) we actually looked dangerous, Tommy Rowe is absolutely wasted at left back and had no impact on the game.  Front two were isolated with no runners from midfield supporting. Midfield was totally bullied  -  McCollough needs to be in their with Rowe, Copps and one other. The only positive I could take from a crap night was that Ian Lawlor actually caught a cross.  Rovers players apologising to the fans at the end won't wash it. Something has to change.

[Cantley Rover]

Whether its round pegs in square holes or not I don't know. What I do know is that our midfield has been weak all season.
They don't contribute in goals or supply enough ammunition for the "strikers" and they don't close the oppositions attack down to help the defence.

Well I watched the second half instead of hitting the Chianti. The fight back only highlighted the very awful defending in that first half and again for the fourth goal. If anything positive at all can be said it is perhaps that we have regained McCullough who was MOM and that we have Wright Baudry and Butler to replace that terrible terrible central defensive duo. 
  I have to ask what the hell has happened to you Jordan Houghton . I was your number one fan until the Scunny game but tonight AGAIN you and Whiteman went missing !

An evening in Florence spent in front of a screen watching Rovers at Walsall?!

I don’t know whether to praise you or question your sanity!!

I was thinking the same!
Graingerover I agree Anderson and Boyle are not as good as Butler and Wright but I have watched the goals on Sky over and over last night when I got home and all 4 goals were midfielders not picking up runners or closing down. 1st goal Blair beaten in the air at far post. Well that’s a shock, Blair is not a full back never has been never will be bu DF keeps playing him there. The centre backs are not the problem, we even defended corners ok.
