Lets talk about the Bradford City cup game and the Lincoln City league game

[Stewmaiden79]

Looking second best everywhere on the pitch.

[Lesonthewest]

We are woefull, can't even make a simple pass,  no teamwork, lack any ideas or urgency. Total mismatch.

[dknward2]

2nd to every ball, Ajay is rubbish how the hell is he at spurs and 1 nil down lucky we are through should have just cancelled this game as we are playing the same shit one up front grant had chance to change it to a 4-4-2 and bottled it

[Petche]

We’ve got to get away from this formation. It doesn’t work, and we don’t have the players to fit the system.

I agree and if we can see it why given the importance of this competition have we not changed things?

[Scooter]

Our passing stats must be dreadful

[Filo]

Awful display so far, they look like they’ve never seen a football

[jmt23]

It doesn’t help with these young lads being in the team, it looks disjointed and no real idea of what to do.
The young lad brown is all over the place, but nowhere near play.

[dknward2]

Free kick on half way and we kick it all way back to lawlor what a absolute joke it's f**king shit this McCann

[In the box]

Our lot could hit a barn door with a shot gun .. Hanlan hasn’t had a pas worthy of the name , but he looks awful anyway . Just glad to see Sterry back on the pitch !!

[Not Now Kato]

Gotts looks slow

They all look slow.  Slow and unfit!

[bpoolrover]

Only positive was sterry being on the pitch everything else was awful,bradford are playing like they actually want to win, closing us diwn playing at a fast pace, probably why they are way ahead of us in the league

[GazLaz]

Awful display so far, they look like they’ve never seen a football

Just said the same to my lad, there’s no fluidity in anything they do. They receive the ball and have to think about everything. Some moves should come naturally between players that train together every day.

[Alan Southstand]

1 shot off target and only 1 cross in the first half.

What’s all this talk about having 2 strong teams? I think GM needs to give his head a wobble.

[steve@dcfd]

Well defenders okay the rest slow can’t pass not strong enough none deserve a place in first team. Ajayi very poor SB not ready Close slow Gotts what did Grant see in him sorry very poor. Middleton worst game Hanlan hard to tell really

[roversdaft]

2 holding midfielders and 3 in front of them and we can’t string a pass together in midfield?

Woeful isn’t the word.

McCann needs to get a handle on this death spiral we are in, I can’t believe this is the same squad we saw in September

[Surrey Rover]

The back four and Lawlor have been ok, the rest are miles off it.

[Reg of the Rovers]

They really do look slow, like they’re running in treacle, Bradford running past us like we’re stood. Awful display, same old set up from McCann, all width with no end product, and no middle so we’re getting rolled over. I know it’s a dead rubber, but I thought we’d have more pride than this, and want to try and create a positive after this terrible run of results.

Need something big after half time!

[EasyforDennis]

Nothing positive to say about that first half.

[mushRTID]

Most of these lads are supposed to be able first teamers. “2 first teamers for every position”

They aren’t exactly giving the manager something to think about.

Really poor stuff.

[Lesonthewest]

Totally clueless, lack of urgency, constantly running back to goal, not competing for second balls, can't make easy passes, knocked off the ball to easy, lack of teamwork, no determination. Absolutely woefull. Total mismatch.

[Albert Trousers]

We concede very similar goals quite a lot, it's like a glitch on FIFA.

[Alan Southstand]

Like changing all 11?

 

[sedwardsdrfc]

On its own this one doesn’t matter really but if we are poor on Saturday after this then it’s a problem.

I’d have gone with a stronger team to stop the rot but understand the competition doesn’t really count for much.

[POD]

Free kick on half way and we kick it all way back to lawlor what a absolute joke it's f**king shit this McCann

We seem to do this a lot, with throw ins and free kicks.   It’s as if it’s keep possession at all costs whereas what we should be doing is getting the ball forward nearer to the penalty area and taking some risks.   

[i_ateallthepies]

Ball just bounces off Hanlan and McGrath just gives possession away every time he makes a pass.

[Avsuptem]

We look.like a school house team who.have never played together before. I never thought I would see the day when Grant McCann would deliver football as piss poor as this to the Rovers faithful.

[roversdaft]

We need to play through the midfield not by pass it with long balls into channels where there’s no wingers, or strikers so it’s coming straight back!??

If McCann doesn’t change this repetitive formation and tactics he could end up with the crowd on his back come the New Year

[NickDRFC]

Shocking half. 6 of this team started at Middlesbrough - how have we regressed so badly in 3 months?

[ScillyRover]

Hanlan totally made a hash of an effort 3 yards out. He just doesn’t have a clue where the gap between the two posts is.
