Molyneux

[Thorney]

I'm 1 of his biggest fans but today i found him to be frustrating.

Hit the deck way too easy under the slightest of touches expecting a free kick. When he didnt get 1 he started throwing his arms about ronaldo style.

Also didnt get a throw in he though he should late in the game, instead of getting back as quick as possible to defend the lead he decided to have a moan at the linesman allowing his man to get first run.

Hope he isnt starting to become a prima donna. And grant if seen it can cut this out very sharpish.

Yeah agreed he went down a couple of times, but on their occasions he was being fouled. One in the second half he was clean way and player should have received a card. Then clearly a foul and not given. Plus a yellow card given for time wasting, almost looked like the ref was against him.
Thought he made a couple of mistakes, but worked hard all game and again closely watched by their players.

[RoversInSpain]

He simply misses Sterry, so don’t worry. All he can do surrounded by 3 defenders is try to gain a free kick, he’s no teammate close to him, overlapping or offering a 1-2.
That changes very soon when the man in a mask returns.

Hopefully sterry will be back as a sub on Tuesday at minimum ready for a start on Saturday

I think people need to understand that he is one of our best players, so this means the opposition are always going to try and stop him from playing as they know his threat as you see every week when they double up on him. Give the lad a break, its the other players that need to take the pressure off of him like we saw last season.

Agreed. When things aren't going his way, show him some love. He's got plenty of credit in the bank.

Well, I hope they get called out.

Muppets.  Mols hasn't scored yet this season but has assists and worked hard.  Doesn't suit nixon behind him for me as he's not positive enough at full back.

he scored a peno

[jmt23]

He is well out of the form we know he can achieve, and today was probably his worst game for us in my opinion, BUT he never stops working and trying hard to find that form and work for the team.

I do wonder if he needs a game or two out, coming on as sub. Firstly to give him some time, he looks a little frustrated by everything. Secondly it can give certain players a bit more fire.
 I’m conflicted on this though, as his form does yo-yo through a season, but out of nowhere BANG he is in form.

[sedwardsdrfc]

He’s our best player and people expect a lot but they need to chill out. If the opposition didn’t double or triple up on him he’d be doing all sorts.

We’re out playing most teams we’ve played and the space he creates might have something to do with it.

Good point he did.  It's been a long day!

[dknward2]

Molls at most had 2 league 2 players closing him down last season this season it's a minimum of 2 league 1 defenders some could be championship quality players it's a big step up, think he generally starts slow most seasons but soon picks up and becomes player we all know, let's just get behind him and the rest of the players and we can fear no one in this league

[Thorney]

I dont question his work rate and he still is the 1st name on the teamsheet for me.

Just dont like seeing the stroppy arms in the air when the decisions didnt go his way and how quick he was to hit the deck under the slightest touch.

Dont want that to become part of his game.

[Padge_DRFC]

Ref gave him nothing today. Half the time though the ref was right. In fact the ref was decent today whilst I mention him.

I've always thought Gibson would be the one who'd find the step up easier. On technical ability Gibson is ahead

I was in earshot of 2 blokes saying mols was shite for most of last season lol

2 very clueless blokes

[LincsRover]

He has multiple players marking him in a higher league. Of course he’s struggling a bit but class will out and he’ll keep going and work out what he needs to do. Form is temporary, class is permanent, and Moly is still a great player at this level. GM will get the best from him soon.

[RobTheRover]

All good players have a off day. Today was Mol's. He just never looked in control of the ball in that first half. Much better 2nd half. Hopefully, that's it out of his system.

[Nudga]

Give him a total rest in Tuesday and leave him at home.
He's played an incredible amount of games in the last two seasons.

Let's see what Ajayi can do for a full 90 minutes.

[Prez]

Jeez, nearly every game he’s got at least 2 of the opposition on his back.

Last thing he needs is some of our fans on his back as well.

He’s a marked man, sometimes he won’t be able to produce.

[Alan Southstand]

He’ll be allright when his mate, (the Lone Ranger - look it up for those not old enough), gets back in the fold.

[ForsolongaRover]

Sterry and Molyneux complement each other. As Sterry improved last season, so Molyneux’s effectiveness increased.

[Pancho Regan]

Anybody questioning Moly’s performances or effort needs to give their head a wobble.

[rtid88]

I thought he was poor at times today. Some very very easy passes just not being completed.

I personally dont think he has hit the ground running so far this season, but he will given time.

[GazLaz]

He’s been poor this season as mentioned before. Doesn’t ever lack effort though.

I think we lack a bit of athleticism in the team, and that kind of sums up Mols. Playing against bigger, stronger, quicker players at the level above and finding it tough.

[Ian Nimmo]

I find all these negative comments about mols are absolutely ridiculous.
It’s almost like certain posters would be delighted if he left, he’s gives his all in every game and does not deserve the amount of criticism he is currently receiving on social media.
He his fully committed to rovers, and people should appreciate he is not going to score in every game, and should appreciate his contribution to the team in games when he doesn’t score.
If people don’t, then the alternative is he will leave, is that what you want?

[Chris Black come back]

Bailey (who some people have said wasn’t fantastic yesterday) and O’Riordan aside, has any player been stand out amazing? Not really. Yet we’ve had an unreal set of results so far, driven by very good team performances. Would definitely take the latter.

Five league games in and we are nearly a quarter of the way there to staying up!

[StocksArmy]

We can’t expect him to be perfect every week. Agree he underperformed yesterday and his body language did seem right but, he will provide quality moments throughout the season and to be fair to him already has a goal and 3? Assists? We are lucky enough now to not solely rely on Mols but we still need to wrap him in cotton wool as an injury to him would make a difference to our season.
