TLOD V Fleetwood

[phil o sophical]

He may as well be a secret agent cos he's invisible a lot of the time

[EasyforDennis]

Can someone please show the ifollow cameraman how the zoom works.

[DonnyOsmond]

The ball goes to Jones, passes it to one of the defenders, the defender passes it to Smith/Robertson, goes back to defender. Rinse and repeat. After a few sets of that hoof up and give to Fleetwood's defence.

Hasn’t that been the standard pattern for most of the season.

I feel like Whiteman was able to turn on the ball and break the lines.

[Filo]

This is pedestrian and boring

[RoversAlias]

If Richards is hoping to make the grade in the top flight with Brighton he's got a lot of hard work in front of him

You've used two words there that are completely alien to the lad, I'm afraid.

Yes he could do that, but I did say most of the season because we also did the same pattern quite a lot when Ben was here.

Very poor game this.

You mean Taylor I can't be arsed Richards?

Before Ben Whiteman left we had 33 points from 18 games, had scored 32 and had conceded 20.

Since he left we’ve played 24 games and got far fewer points (27), scored far fewer goals (25), and conceded way more (37).

Even if some of our play was patient, there is absolutely no comparison between the team with him in it and the team now.

was thinking the same

[sha66y]

Will the real Josh Sims please stand up!
Cos that facsimile is pretty bloody useless! ....

[Padge_DRFC]

We'd be having sub 5k crowds with this absolute boring crap football yet again!

[anton123]

We are desperate for a new manager and some new ideas , the season can’t end soon enough

[Filo]

43 minutes and not an attempt on goal, allI see is a team thats no where near working hard enough

[EasyforDennis]

We look like a team heading for relegation. It's a good job we got those points earlier in the season.

[Not Now Kato]

That was a waste of 45 minutes!

Just going through the motions, they seem unmotivated and don’t care about professional pride

I agree that we were better with Ben in the team but that mind numbing passing the ball about between our keepers and defenders was still evident in our play.

Noticed a couple of time when he runs back to show for the pass he's careful to keep a fleetwood player between him and the ball, thus making himself unavailable.  He must think we're blind.

[Campsall rover]

Just got no pattern and fluency to our play.

Are these actually the same players that played in the 1st 24 games of the season.
You could not have possibly predicted we could become so poor.

Are we saving ourselves do you think for our double header with Peterborough. 

[goalkick]

Why does every team we play look better and more eager to get the ball than us? This is boring and poor.massive clear out for next season.

[Filo]

That was a booed off at ht performance, they should be thankful they have been shielded from the wrath of the fans

[sha66y]

Those on here releasing the tension by commenting whether it be positive or negative should spare a thought for those watching the game ......and not bothering to comment on here........

Heads are gonna explode!

Simple answer, our players don’t give a f**k

Those games with Peterbro might yet be very embarrassing.

Not a realistic comparison, that Nick.  Our problems of the last couple of months are in no way the result of Ben Whiteman not being in the team.  We had a decent run of good results after Ben left.  Our current problems are something different entirely.

[Big Fey]

Saving grace is that we havnt had to actually go there in person!!

I’m sure our Directors and Owners are very aware of what’s happening on the pitch and will learn by it.........
Have faith!

we did, but no one can actually say we were playing well.  Narrow one goal wins over teams with zero performance on our part..

[vaya]

Looks like what it is at half time. An end of season game involving two clubs with little to play for.

[anton123]

The players need to buck there ideas up as this has burton second half written all over it
