Good first five or ten minutes with some good thought, decision making and play.

After that we’ve given them way to much space and time and seem to have lost our accuracy and clear heads a bit.

A couple of good bits of play but we need to get into them a bit more.

Tom and Dieng doing their bit as usual.

Ramsey seems a bit out of his depth here and panicky. I guess he’s young and needs to find his feet here.

We have a lot of new blood in the squad and look to be playing a different shape than usual because of it so it’s not looking very joined up but I suppose that’s to be expected.

Still way to many shouts of ‘gerrit forward’ from the pensioners behind me in the South stand!

According to BBC, possession is 45%:55% to the visitors. That about right?

Yes but with plenty of passing around at the back by them as well.

At least Rochdale are trying to play football against us.

We look like we haven’t played togetherness that much, and with the changes to the squad that is inevitable.

Although the last few games I have seen we have been better in the second half, once DM has the chance to see how the game is going and to tweak things for the second half..

Thanks, IDM!

Substitution, Doncaster Rovers. Niall Ennis replaces Jon Taylor.

Ramsey and Gomes have largely been ineffective today, chasing shadows around small Rochdal technical players. Rochdale look like some Rovers teams of old, knocking it around fairly nicely but not had a shot on target.

Do we look like scoring the important second goal?

BobG · « **Reply #37 on** February 08, 2020, 04:39:33 pm by BobG »

Or do they look like scoring a staggeringly impertinent first?

With the attacking players we have, we can score at any time.

They’ve deserved that.. playing the better football

Poor defending. Gomes stopped running when he should have been tracking back.

Not at the game. Just surprised after all the positivity recently.

Very surprised Moore didn't put Copps on here. Is he injured?

keith79 · « **Reply #48 on** February 08, 2020, 04:49:51 pm by keith79 »

Yes very poor

Yes agreed.. we have been awful . Defensively slack and created very little

Saddlier and Halliday the only positives for Rovers.

Not good enough

firestarter · « **Reply #53 on** February 08, 2020, 04:58:19 pm by firestarter »

Back to basics .. passing poor.. set piece delivery poor.. tackling poor.

Bloody awful. We should be thankful we have a point.

Credit to Rochdale they played well. Not sure we had the middle of the park right for this game. Sheaf did well and created when he came on. Onwards and upwards

dickos1 · « **Reply #57 on** February 08, 2020, 05:03:44 pm by dickos1 »

That’s as bad as we’ve played all season

bpoolrover · « **Reply #58 on** February 08, 2020, 05:04:50 pm by bpoolrover »

Not sure why copps didn’t start unless injured but in the end a fair result

firestarter · « **Reply #59 on** February 08, 2020, 05:14:33 pm by firestarter »

Hard to watch Wilts.. never stamped our authority on them and to be fair they dictated a lot of the play
