England v Greece

[1-0 to the Doncaster]

Anyone want 2 tickes for England v Greece this Thursday. Standing rail seats. £25 each

[1-0 to the Doncaster]

Tickets now free if anyone would like to use them? DM me.

[DRFC_AjA]

Do you still get the cap even if you don't go in the ground? Ie just by buying the ticket?

[1-0 to the Doncaster]

No you must get in ground  to get the cap.

[karldew]

Not been great so far, not sure what the formation is about.

As for above, your ticket has to be scanned at the turnstile for 2 caps to be added.

[Pancho Regan]

I know it’s early days but I’m rather underwhelmed by the Carsley stewardship so far.

I can’t understand the formation tonight, all the England forward players are getting in each other’s way.

[Pancho Regan]

Greece score a deserved goal, 0-1

Smoke bomb just went off in the away end. Moments silence please for all those who died or got traumatised

Strange post

[sedwardsdrfc]

Yeah seems that’s disproved the just play all the big names crowd.

Personally would prefer to just have a set formation/style and if that means a couple of big names are on the bench then so be it. They can win us games from there.

Bellingham is obviously brilliant but you just get that feeling that he’s in the lampard/gerrard/scholes mould. Selection is a problem albeit a good one in theory

[Reg of the Rovers]

Hopefully that means the FA will rethink and try and find a proper manager.

[Petche]

Truly awful again, don't know why I watch England games, never enjoy them! Sick to death of hearing the commentators and pundits claiming that we've got such an amazing pool of talent and it must be so difficult to pick a team. We're getting bossed by Greece ffs!!
Rubbish!!

[NickDRFC]

I’m focussing on the positive. International break means I get to watch Rovers win again on Saturday YOU REDS.

[Nudga]

Foden is so overrated it's unreal.  Nowhere near international class, often wonder why he's always shoehorned in when he offers little.
TAA another one. Dog shit at international level.

[Pancho Regan]

The worst England performance I’ve witnessed in a long time.
11 good players = 1 average team.

No system, no structure, no pattern.
Just chuck all the ‘big’ players in and hope for the best.

Really poor, a deserved defeat.

Yes, sick of hearing that but it's plain to see we are incapable of playing as a team to a plan.

From naivety to stupidity with decision making and sub international class shooting. It's hard to watch them get into good goalscoring positions and still want to play another pass.

As for the defending well Pickford set the tone. Schoolboy stuff.

[Filo]

We’ve just seen why Carsley should be nowhere near that job, throw loads of attacking players in and play with no structure or plan awful performance

[TonySoprano]

there you go, it's what you get when you replace the best england manager in a generation with gary mcsheffreys mate.

[Scooter]

Dreadful performance and non-existing defending.
Football should be simple. Play defenders who can defend and a damn striker

He's taking the piss out of the half a dozen people on here who whinge and whine whenever there is a flare or smoke bomb at rovers matches.

How a manger with little experience even gets the chance ? ... guaranteed to get the job full time.

The mentally of the players needs to be questioned, Greece were up for it and we are " full of talent" as the commentators keep telling us, yet little passion.

[Ryaldinhio]

We will soon go back to a bunch of good players but not a team. I was not a massive Southgate fan BUT he got that unity right and has done better than any England manager in my time.

TAA has always been overated IMO. Wasmt good enough for RM so play him RB and claim he is the best attacking RB in the world. He has the stats he has because of supplying Salah, nunez, firminhio, mane etc under an attack minded manager. He is a poor RB.

Foden is amazing for Man City in a team that play a certain way quick close quarters one touch passing, pass, move, pass, move, we don't do that so he looks out of sorts.

Saka doesn't play with the confidence he has at arsenal.


Bellingham believes in his own hype and believes he is a superstar already....not for me. He will do odd great thing but ruin this England team for the next 10-15yrs.

Declan Rice, sorry, but if Carlsberg did football agents.....

I didn't even watch tonight but I would put a tenner on all the above being correct????

Light hearted mocking of those who have an almighty meltdown when one goes off in an English league game

[DRFC_AjA]

Dreadful performance and non-existing defending.

But everyone wants to play Pep-ball. Sideways sideways backwards sideways. Dont any player dare shoot or take someone on or else. It's bad enough is creeping down to league 2. As well as the keeper playing about with it at the back

We had many shooting or crossing opportunities tonight and just stopped and about turned. Fodens a shadow of what he was before or when he's let loose

Do you think 'pep-ball' is playing sideways and backwards?????

[roversdude]

And mentor lol

[steve@dcfd]

All supporters crying for all the technical players to play last showed it doesn’t work.
Both wide players were never in the game. Gordon was poor as pace but runs down blind alleys if Grealish is fit he should play.
Foden should not play he was poor
Need a striker
Need a left back can’t have TAa and Lewis inverting
Need another midfield player  along side Rice.
It was all wrong last night.

[Chris Black come back]

Not the end of the world but it goes back yet again to the England failing - stop trying to make the system fit around our best or perceived best players. Find a system and get the players to fit in, even if they don’t play for the top clubs or have the biggest social media followings.

System first, players second.
