Well it's plainly obvious that something is amiss at present. We're being made to look like a non-league team by not very good sides.

[glosterred]

Now ed the duck has booked one of the orient coaching staff

2-0


COYR

[jmt23]

They look like scoring from every attack, the defence looks extremely shaky.

[ChrisBx]

You really wouldn't know that Mols, Sbarra and Gibson were on the pitch. Sharp is battling but, collectively, we're miles off it.

[Barmby Rover]

just under 60 minutes left, but I think you can call game over with the way Rovers are shaping in this one, unless there is a drastic transformation after half time!

[ChrisBx]

I'll also say (again) that these two full backs are not League One standard. Far from it.

[Donnybax]

We've not actually been that bad but Molyneaux and McGrath have had stinkers. Surprised there hasn't been more mention of McGrath this season he's been appalling.

A bit unfair on them, are Sterry and Maxwell better? Sterry possibly, but may be out for a few weeks more yet.

[phil o sophical]

May as well stick Hanlon on and go 3 5 2, not much else seems to be working at the moment

Sterry and Maxwell are absolutely miles better. We lose out so much from an attacking point of view with Nixon and Senior.

[ScillyRover]

Molly a shadow of the player he was last season. Just not got going at all.

If that is the case why is Maxwell on the bench? GM doesn't agree.

[monkeytennis]

What’s happened to us? We were so positive and confident at the start of the season. Have other teams just found our weaknesses and we lack the adaptability to change or is it something else?

[ForsolongaRover]

Sharia not seeing much of the ball - as usual

because he's never fit

[eastender]

We should be 5 down

[jmt23]

Every forward move from them ends in a shot on goal.

[glosterred]

Half time 2-0 we ain’t at the races today. It’s going to be a long second half if we don’t improve


COYR

[Barmby Rover]

Gotts, Middleton on, Molyneux and Sbarra off?

[Donnybax]

After the 2nd went in we were shocking. Lucky it's only 2-0. Hopefully we make some changes to get us back into the game. I'd say we need Middleton, gotts and maxwell on for Molyneux, sbarra and senior.

[ChrisBx]

That first half was as lacklustre as it comes. Worrying form of late.

[Beerseller]

Yes we are poor today but the ref is doing his level best to find against us. Even the commentators are noticing how bad he’s been.

[Canadian Rover]

Gimme Luke over Gibbo every day and twice on a Saturday.

Lawlor shocking.

3-5-2 second half please.

[steve@dcfd]

Let’s get this right we are losing at the moment to the better side. Our best players are not being allowed to get in the game our other players are none existent. They’ve score two it should have been more. We haven’t laid a glove on them.
Expectation from the beginning of the season and after the Bradford as gone. Is the team squad as good as as we thought. Molyneux not played consistently well this season. ORiordan and McGrath is not working midfield is not working all the forwards just can’t get in the game that’s why we have only scored 11 goals this season

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

We've had a lot of possession and not hurt them.  I can't understand why we persist with Lawlor, Close or Sbarra.

Their first despite one bad touch is a really good goal, the second is poor pressing from Sbarra.

Neither of the wide players can get in the game, Molyneux is too isolated 2v1 against a good right back, Nixon needs to push up with him or Sbarra be effecting the wide areas.

[Bessie Red]

We've not actually been that bad but Molyneaux and McGrath have had stinkers. Surprised there hasn't been more mention of McGrath this season he's been appalling.

Grehan is the best Centre back at the club! McGrath has been awful all season!

[ravenrover]

GM seems besotted with McGrath, he didn't play particularly well against Grimsby, surprised he's in instead of Pearson

It wasn't McGrath who gave the goal away.

#039;t McGrath who gave the goal away.

Straight red for you, I didn't say he had

[ForsolongaRover]

Our passing in the final third is haphazard and I wonder about the fitness levels. Molyneux doesn’t seem to be as agile as he was last season and there seems no linkage between the wing backs and Molyneux and Gibson. Up the middle, Close hangs back and Sbarra might as well be just watching.

[jmt23]

Their second is actually offside, buckle tries to play the ball and is stood along side Lawlor. Poor officiating again.

We ain’t at the races though, it could’ve and should’ve been more.

I can see why they concede a few though, it’s all attack, if we can get it to moly (and he improves his levels including his attitude) and Gibbo, there’s enough chance we will score.

[BobG]

If my maths and my memory are correct we have scored more than one goal in a competitive game 6 times this season. Four of those were in Cup matches. In league games, excluding this one today, we have therefore scored more than one goal in exactly 16.67% of games played. If you include today,  and at the moment why wouldn't you? It's more than one goal in 15.4% of league games played....
