Let's talk about the Crewe Alexandra game

[RoversInSpain]

Entire back 4 still out, cancelling Salford looks a solid move! 2 weeks to recover now

[RoverinLincs]

Gibson starting again?

Has he got dirt on McCann or something!?

[ncRover]

Hemmings is an Ironside-type striker so should be fine for Wood and Anderson

[Alan Southstand]

Not a great deal of pace in that back line. Bad time to be having our entire back 4 out! At least he’s put Bailey back where he belongs.

[NickDRFC]

Mixed feelings about Wood. Our defence on paper looks more solid with him in it but this is a guy who turns 40 in 4 months and has played a grand total of 1 minute competitive action since the middle of August, which really doesn’t fill me with confidence.

[Avsuptem]

We might not have the first choice back four but we do have first choice commentators today

Micky walker?

I’d sooner play Ironside in defence and leave Nixon out he’s too nervous a player and makes too many mistakes when under pressure!!

[mushRTID]

We’re at the stage of the season where those teams who get promoted come from behind to win games.

It would be nice if we could finally start doing that. We look shocking.

[Chris Black come back]

Not managed it the entire season.

[In the box]

We are too weak in midfield and slow in our decision making when in front of goal .

[The Dav]

The back 4 look horrendous! I know we’re limited due to injuries, but Christ on a bike were awful !

[Goole Rover]

Another scrambled goal from the byline. What the hell was Street doing ?

[In the box]

On paper it’s not a bad lineup but without our usual back four we are going fined a mismatch between the front and the back and passes going astray . It’s not going to be easy today

[Stewmaiden79]

Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see a way back into this.

[In the box]

Another scrambled goal from the byline. What the hell was Street doing ?

He’s on loan for a reason …

[Sammy Chung was King]

We’ve been garbage so far. No link in our play, dinosaurs in our backline. We need two up front, I would be looking to get Billy Sharp on the pitch, put Ironside on as well, push Street out wide. The players are too wide apart, need to get closer and move the ball quicker.

[selby]

  Very badly defended in the box at the far post, but, there are not many sides in the EFL where a central defender can pick a ball up in the centre circle and drive straight down the middle of the field past three or four midfielders who can't catch the man carrying the ball, as a team we lack pace all over the pitch.
  That's what caused Anderson to commit the foul for the free kick they scored from.
  We need to improve drastically in the second half as we look anything but a promotion side, and half of them are here next season.

[selby]

  With them two full backs and that mid field playing in front of you internationals would struggle in central defence in fact Anderson has had the two best attacking runs out of midfield with the ball in the first half.

[In the box]

Nothing to show upfront , being out passed , out tackled and just not working as group around the box . Street is being out hussled and being frustrated and  stopped every time before can get started . Poor showing from us over all .

[Chris Black come back]

Omar Bogle about to come on!

[selby]

  A good goal from a set piece, now can we raise our game and pinch it? we have been better since the changes.

[Goole Rover]

That looked a penalty to me.

[tommy toes]

Nailed on penalty!

[Prez]

And yet again a bottle job from the ref. Strange game. Should have lost it, should have won it too.

[drfchound]

Clear pen for the foul on Sbarra.
Why don’t refs give them.

[Chris Black come back]

And yet again a bottle job from the ref. Strange game. Should have lost it, should have won it too.

Consistent with the fairly appalling standard of this league. Nobody good enough to really make an impact. We are still in there and now have two weeks to get everyone back fit again.

[Stewmaiden79]

Refs in this league boil my piss.

[TonySoprano]

Very poor today.
TSL man of the match by far.
We're not going up, not good enough. Simple as.

[graingrover]

Having watched the game I would say on that performance we deserve to get promotion in the automatics.His substitutions were so effective and despite my screaming atthe screen he did not listen to me and did show us how much he understands the flow of the game and the individuals in his squad .
