Simply awful again

I just don't get your love affair with Bobby ?

Odd interjection. He will be 4th choice at best and probably go out on loan again. He won’t play. And I rate him more than most.

According to bbc radio Essex commentator, we are the best team to play there this season. Only saw last 20 mins. What was Gibson doing. Why do players think a yard will make a difference. He was told yet moved it again. Hope he gets fined.

And (although there are never many on it) the few posts there are on the Colchester forum are very complimentary. "Probably the best team to play at The Jobserve Stadium this season" is one comment.

He defied the ref who around about the same time booked two of their players over one bad tackle. One for the tackle and the other for an angry reaction from another player. He did not tolerate defiance and Gibson defied him most deliberately. Credit is due to him for his goal which was very skilfully flighted. His free kick in the second half demanded a very good save to keep it out in a match where more of the skill came from the home side. Their left winger and the centre forward were impressive. Both Sharp and Anderson might have been booked too, but somehow they escaped.

Their Centre Half should have been booked late on fro hacking down Hurst, but books Gibson for moving the ball a minimal amount, one offence would have no bearing on the game, the other could have resulted in serious injury, how is that fair

I genuinely can’t believe the negativity and extreme opinions circulating lately regarding our players and management. The criticism has become harsh and unwarranted, and it’s disheartening to see.

Take Luke Molyneux, for example—a superbly talented player who, once again, is giving his all for the club. Yet, some fans are quick to tear him down instead of acknowledging his commitment and skill. It feels like certain people are constantly searching for scapegoats and negativity, perhaps as an outlet for frustrations in their own lives.

We’re Doncaster Rovers, not Real Madrid! We're in the mix for the league title and pushing for automatic promotion. That’s no small feat, and this team deserves support and encouragement, not constant criticism.

Sure, we all want the team to succeed, but the relentless negativity helps no one—not the players, not the management, and certainly not the club as a whole. Let’s get behind the lads and show them the support they deserve. This team is fighting for promotion and give a lot to our community let’s not forget that.

Not sure wot your wanting if your not happy with that today battled a lot better on a poor pitch

 Also noticed every time our wiseman got the ball they had 2 men on them where as most of the time their wiseman were always neatly always one on one against our full backs

Wiseman?
At this time of year, is that a typo or three players I don’t know about.

[PDX_Rover]

Oh my ghosh….

A few thoughts,

We made very heavy work of the match, in the past we would have buckled late on and lost the point, we stuck at it, a toughed it out, credit to the team for that.

Olowu once again puts in massive shift.

Mols had for me his least effective game ever, how he managed to stay on for 76 mins defies belief, needed hooking for his own good, his run of poor form is now really hurting us.

As a team we really do need to be get smart when we play, it looks like every side we play are more "on it" with the pulls tugs and falling to the ground under a touch, its costing us dear.

We didn't play the conditions at all well, that pitch was awful, why did we try to pass on a pitch like that, it caused us nothing but lost possession and danger throughout?

Gibson was his own worst enemy, the ref (is he related to ex ref Paul Durkin? looked like a younger and sh*t version of him) who was very inconsistent,and didn't look fit enough to ref at this level had no choice after he defied him three times.

We need to find some form and consistency soon, our big squad is not helping us at all in this regard and GM has a job of work on his hands.

We should all have reason to be concerned at this time, the management have a big job to get this team up automatically as things stand.

Never rated his old fella, kids going nowhere with his Sunday league bod!

I wonder how he's got so far up the pyramid?

Some over reactions again on here almost like Wednesday fans. We put in a decent performance today against one of the form teams on a horrible (for both teams) pitch

Perhaps given our differing views on how we performed & where ‘we are’ or ‘perceive ’ ourselves to be, we ought to wait until we hear from our ‘guest pundit’ from Barnsley (is it ‘kez 1998’ or something?) to give his verdict.

Then to a man we can all say ‘inwardly’ “Ah of course. Thanks ‘Barnsley’ for your wisdom & guidance”.

[drfchound]

I thought that we have a football forum.
People can express their thoughts and views.

[Alan Southstand]

That goes both ways Hound, as well.

And so it begins

  To me the game was like most of the season, we have not been outplayed all the game in most games, very few in fact,  probably only v Chesterfield have we been well beaten from start to finish of a game.
  Our problem has been in games, especially lately, is that we have not been clinical in both defensive and attacking areas, making defensive errors at one end and spurning relatively easy chances at the other.
  Putting full games of good play has been difficult and apart from the keeper and Olowu coming to mind most players have had indifferent seasons when it comes to consistent form with good games interspersed with kids stuff the next game and even in individual games.
  Consistency being the word most descriptive of what I see wrong with us rather than lack of effort and talent up to press this season. having said that we are not doing bad sitting third in the division, but I have more ambition for this set of players than third.

F*cking hate this place now. What a set of w*nkers there are in here.

We are still in automatic places.

Back the team or f*ck off.

A*se holes.

Don't stamp your feet and wail fella, we're a democracy in this country. People will have different views and opinions to you and their entitled to say so. Virtually no one is saying sack the manager or get rid of players, expectations have been raised by the club and fans are disappointed for the progress to not to match this, everyone thinks the team should and can be doing better.

Not everyone has been used to years of the club underperforming and just getting by.

If you arent used to years of the club underperforming and just getting by welcome to DRFC.

We drew AWAY at a club who are in better form than us.

We won't win every game.

The sh*te spouted in here is embarrassing.

Why has the title of this thread gone on and on? Is the forum trying to piss off Grant McCann?

TBF you were stamping your feet in another thread threatening to quit the forum , if you hate this place so much then just walk away , just seems like attention seeking to me. As Danumdon points out nobody is asking for the manager to be sacked or questioning our position in the table. But performances have been underwhelming lately and I'm confused as to what our style of play is currently.

I wasn't threatening to quit the forum, who would that be a threat to?

I said I was getting fed up of this place and I am. Some of the drivel on here is ridiculous.

I am frustrated with our current form and agree that there is no style of play and the chopping and changing I can't get my head around......but we are third and GM knows a lot more than the majority on here.

As per my attention seeking thread, I was brought up with the mindset of if you've nowt good to say then don't say owt.

Currently the squad and manager are doing their job which is to achieve promotion.

Yes we aren't playing great but let's be optimistic 

[graingrover]

the only fitting place for the adjective underwhelming applies to destructive comments on the fans' forum.The disappointments on the field of play are addressed by a very good management team .

You must understand....those wanting him to go have taken Rovers from League 2 to the Premier League in 4 seasons.
